Wedding Dress Progress

My mom is making my dress for the wedding this September.  It’s crazy-quilted and embroidered and awesome!!  Progress is documented here.

Crock pot roast

Tonight for dinner, Boy #2 (who declared that he will no longer become a paleontologist when he grows up, but a world-famous chef), just made cheese-filled sausages and cream corn.  Meanwhile, I began making up a pot roast in the slow cooker.

Here is the recipe.

Of course, I never quite get recipes correct, so my version has a few differences.

• I used twice as much garlic.  (There’s no such thing as too much garlic!)
• I used twice as much bacon.  (Ditto!)
• I was out of thyme (ha! out of thyme!  get it?  out of time?) so I used sage.
• I added a can of beef broth.

I’m cooking it now and will be able to try it out this evening.  Then I will let it warm overnight and bring some to work tomorrow.

Time for change

So, let’s see… what has happened between last post and now…

The boys finished their lego creations.  Last night we had chili and corn bread for supper.  Afterwards, the boys and I went out for haircuts.  They got spiky little buzzes and I got it chopped off to my chin.  Time for change.

Speaking of change, I made an appointment with my doctor to get started on Zyban again so I can quit smoking.  Also made an appointment with the dentist to get this crown that fell off back in.

And one more change… I’m going to try Atkins again.  I think this haircut of mine would look a lot better on a skinny head.
