It is November 16th and that means NaBloPoMo is halfway over. I've been able to post every day so far. Hopefully my posts have been interesting and fun. The last thing I want to do is bore you!
I was feeling homemakerly today. When I got home from work, I readied this beef roast in the crock pot. I'll put it on in the morning and dinner is nearly done! Doesn't it look pretty? I also made a tub of Onion Butter for snacking. Onion Butter: 1 pkg cream cheese, 1 stick butter, 1/2 a medium onion-diced very fine, 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of mayo, a sprinkle of parsley or chives. Mix all together (easier if you let the butter & cream cheese soften) and chill. Yummy on crackers or celery. It also makes hubby's feel loved.
My blog reader is still full. I've gone through a few posts but I keep running out of time this week. My laundry is clean but unfolded. The dishes from tonight's dinner are done, it was just frozen fish sticks and Kraft mac & cheese, lazy. Where does the time go? It isn't fair.
Do you Stumble? Jessie told me about it and it's a lot of fun. Careful though, it's addictive! She's found some pretty cool sites, like this one, Animals On The Underground.
No stitching in two days...can you hear my withdrawal groans? However, 123 Stitch! has emailed to say my order was shipped. Woo Hoo! We haven't gone anywhere in AGES due to football season. Every weekend, poor Rick asks me what I have planned the weekend? I don't have the heart to scream, "STASH SHOPPING! To hell with football this weekend!" *sigh* When I sweetly say, "Oh, nothing." He gets that relieved look on his face and I feel like an understanding wife. So I went Internet shopping instead. *insert evil laugh here* :o) Chiloe, by the way...I got your thread while I was at it. I'll send it along as soon as it gets here!
Thank you for visiting my blog today!
xox
hmm never heard of onion butter but it sounds really good. I will have to check out the stumble upon site. =) And I never ever get bored visiting here.
ReplyDeleteSo I'm inviting myself over for dinner! I'll bring my stitching too, but the crockpot looks yummmyyyyyyy
ReplyDeleteMmmm...roast! Looks yum! What time is dinner...I need directions! :)

ReplyDeleteOnion butter--sounds good! The roast looks yummy, too.
ReplyDeleteThat looks SO good. I would love to eat that for breakfast right now.
ReplyDeleteI stitched Holly Reindeer Monday night.
That makes me hungry!
ReplyDeleteI always try to stitch a little every day even if only 10 minutes. I understand that withdrawal thing. And I understand the 123 stitch thing too! Your order arrives almost before you place it.
Everything I put into a crockpot ends up getting over cooked. Any tips? I use a lot of chicken breasts. I would love to come home to an almost completely done dinner.
ReplyDeleteI find internet shopping very dangerous. I was looking at someones blog 2 weeks ago and loved what she was stitching. Within 2 mintues, I had the chart, thread, linen and a pinkeep kit on the way. 2 minutes!
lots of nice things to make a tummy rumble on this post
ReplyDeleteIt looks yummy....
ReplyDeleteI'm very curious what you ordered!!.
Hope to see it soon.
That "stumble" site looks like it could definitely be addicting! Thanks for the tip :)
ReplyDeleteYour dinner looks soooo.... tasty!!!
looks very delicious food. Internet shoping is a great invention, I'm addicted amazon.co.uk, I bought amigurumi books, painting, some to learn English for my daughter, etc. .. At home we follor Fromula 1 season 1, but are on vacation until April or May, so we have to go visit my in-laws. It's very cold where I live (sierra de madrid) so we go into town to see them. and with this cold, I just want to sleep late and do nothing...
ReplyDeleteROFL! I love the Fail Blog :o)
ReplyDeletewhere do you get your energy?? You just amaze me girl!
