menu and stuff (bike ride pt. 2)
Pretty uneventful weekend around the house… I watched a few good movies on the Hallmark channel yesterday. I finished cleaning and organizing Emelia’s room and then felt so good about it I helped Bailey declutter his room too. Emelia and I took bags of outgrown clothes to the red box.
I went to Jill (my hair girl) Thursday for highlights and a trim…
Not much different, but a little lighter than before. Can you see the bags under my eyes? ugh. I was awake almost all night Friday night. Matt left the tv in our bedroom on msnbc and they had a three hour special about teenage trafficking or something. It was crazy and kept me awake. I had the remote so technically I could have turned it off…
The next few weeks are going to be busy getting ready for the big party for mom and dad. I’m excited about it! I think they are planning to renew their vows which will be sweet. Thankfully I have Mike & Terri. I have been invited to two pampered chef parties this week, and don’t think I’ll make either one… but will order something. I heart pampered chef stuff… What’s your favorite pc gadget or item????
In the kitchen this week…
I have a couple of pork roasts in the freezer and hope to try this recipe maybe tomorrow.
4 pounds boneless pork shoulder
1 onion, sliced in rings
2 cups ketchup (a 24oz bottle seems to be exactly 2 cups. weird.)
1/2 cup warm water
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher saltThe Directions.
Use a 6 quart crockpot. Trim meat, and place into your crockpot. Add sliced onion. Squeeze in 2 cups of ketchup, and then pour 1/2 cup warm water into the ketchup bottle and shake. Pour the ketchup-y water into your crock. Add vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire, Tabasco and salt.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until meat shreds easily with a fork.
Serve over rice, or make sandwiches on rolls or sliced bread.
I am also planning to make breakfast one night this week… complete with gravy biscuits sausage and eggs.
I still haven’t tried Lauren’s yummy chicken enchiladas. They are still on my to do list.
Bailey put part of izzy’s latest bike ride on video with music.
Your hair looks great! And I don’t see any bags – I think it’s a very lovely picture of you!
Mmm…gravy biscuits and sausage and eggs…Joe used to make that for Sun morning breakfast – oh how I miss that! Guess I could always make it myself…just doesn’t taste as good! LOL

Way to go Izzy!
I sold Pampered Chef for a few months. I’m just not good at getting people to do parties, but I love the products. I got a lot of great products when I signed up — love my non-stick skillet and all my stones.
