Time to Chat #148
From Patrice: Hello from our farm. What a lovely day! Today, we are having a day that
makes me think of spring. This morning was cool and lovely. I think it
was the reward for a stormy night. We did manage to get some rain last
night. Too late for about a third of our corn crop. Between drought, and
run away sheep who like to dine in our market garden, it has been
challenging lately. To say the least. New fences are going up, but he
sheep will probably sprout wings and learn to fly. It's that magnetic
attraction to the garden.
Here are our questions for this week:
- D3 is facing wisdom teeth removal. Have you had your wisdom teeth removed? I still have all four of my wisdom teeth, though they do all have fillings. It's why I'm so wise (snort)!
- Today Wendell is serving iced tea, iced coffee, and carrot juice. He wants me to ask you which you'd prefer. Iced tea, please, sweetened with stevia.
- If you use a crock pot, do you have a favorite recipe? If not, what is your favorite, easy "go to" recipe? I use the crock pot now and then. No recipe - I just put a pot roast in with onions.
- Do you prefer to wash dishes by hand or dishwasher? Yes, I know some of us probably don't like dish washing. Wendell flat out refuses! Dishes and utensils go in the dishwasher. I wash the pans by hand....so a little of both.
- What are you looking forward to? Sleeping in tomorrow, with no alarm clock set!!
Glad you get to sleep in tomorrow. Busy week needs lazy weekend!
ReplyDelete--loved your answers. Blessings
ReplyDeleteI like iced tea too. I have never had a dishwasher so I don't have much choice but to wash all my dishes by hand. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteI love my crock pot and my dishwasher!
ReplyDeleteI'll be sleeping in a bit tomorrow too. I usually get up a little after 5, but I have the weekend off so I can sleep in (hooray). However, I have Alaina overnight, so it won't be too late!
My favourite crock pot recipe is pork chops ( about 6 without the bone in) cooked with a can of undiluted onion soup and a dash of Worcestershire sauce. First I flour and brown the chops a little. When done, I add cornstarch to the juice to thicken it. This is another dish I've been making for years.
ReplyDeleteIn a past post, I have a photo of my dish-drying cupboard, which our friend Tiina from Finland says is a Finnish invention. I wash by hand, but only dry those items which are too heavy or big, like the crock part of the crockpot.
Hi Terri, I know you are happy it is Friday. Hope you enjoy some extra sleep this weekend!!! Take care.
ReplyDeleteSome good answers, most I can agree with. Iced tea, wash dishes by hand (Bob helps every day, bless his heart). Crock pot cooking just occasionally. And I have all my wisdom too. hahaha
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great weekend... put the alarm clock in a drawer. Blessings to you and your Hubby.
I enjoy these chats very much. I think I'd have to say a crock pot full of home made chili. But only in the winter please.
ReplyDeleteIced Tea..........NO sweetener.
Enjoy the 'no alarm clocks'
Hi Terri..Have a great weekend! I hope Onyx is doing better!
ReplyDeleteI wash all the plastic containers by hand and the rest goes in the dishwasher. Iced tea with lemon only. I use the crockpot like you, mostly just meats. Once in a while soup. Enjoy sleeping in!
ReplyDeleteStopping by to catch up with ya'! I enjoyed reading your answers. Have a great weekend.
