Bad News and A Winner of Giveaway

 I called my friend who works where the rodeo will be held in order to find out where on the grounds to find door which causes me to walk the least. 

Be the way Chef Jules wins. I was going to a fork lift rodeo. Actually it has trucks and other big machinery for the rodeo. 

The parking lot is not available. The trucks will rodeo there! So, everyone has to park in a big field and walk a long way to the building where forklifts and pallet jacks have their part of the rodeo. I forgot the other pieces of equipment that will be participating. 

The news really disappointed me! She said they have other events and she will let me know.  

Today, we collected more food for the family. Today, the guy who takes it to her said she only eats chicken. Of course, we had four huge gallon bags of beef or tpv, not sure. The guy can eat it for all I care. She has pancreatitis and sticks with chicken. 

We did nothing else today. I am not sure why since I had things I wanted to do. 

For dinner I baked three small sweet potatoes that just happened to be my favorite, Beauregard. I had meatballs, sweet potato, and cheesy Brussels sprouts, and an apple. I scraped the cheese away. 

This past Tuesday, Piggly Wiggly had the Kraft Medium Cheese on sale, finally! But, I had four pounds still cheaper at home. I told Tommy to get White Cheddar, but there was no white cheddar in any brand n the shelf. Strange. Publix carries white cheddar.  ??? I wonder why The Pig does not. 

I tried to call about the dogs next door, but I was told to call back Monday when dog guy was back. And, the grass is high again, weeds even higher since they were never cut...think 4 feet high, and in front of the shrubs, hiding the piano that has been on the front porch since they moved into the house. 

Has anyone ever seen a rodeo with 18 wheelers, pallet jacks, and forklift events? Chef, mail me your address again to lgd113@yahoo. com . I know I had it but do not know where it is. 

What other kind of rodeo have you seen that is not horses and cows? 

I Finally Did It and a Giveaway

 Today, I timed my nap so we could get dinner done before America's Funniest Videos. Usually, Tommy misses most of AFV. He says he does not care, but I hate he misses. So, I had him wake me from a little nap at 5 pm with carrots and potatoes peeled. I have to trim the carrots and cut eyes and bad places from the potatoes. He remembered to get an onion for me to cut. I reminded him of a piece of celery. 

I was in the dark trying to get the boneless, skinless chicken thighs and boneless, skinless tenders into the bag along with the vegetables. I thought I nicked the plastic bag on the bottom of the pan. I put water in the bag and we closed it and left it to bake. When Tommy took the pan out of the oven and opened the bag, he said, "You did." Consequently, The tiny tenders were dry and hard on ends. The huge pieces of potatoes had a harder outside than originally. The carrots were fine. I never did see the celery and onion. In all the years I have used the bags, I have never punctured the bag. 

Tommy is really serious about this monitor. He forgot to get it from the pharmacy yesterday, so was anxious to get it today and put it on. He walked straight to the kitchen and got it done immediately. He does not want it to run out. Of course, that was another $150.

We are going to a rodeo next week. It is not the kind with horses and cows. If anyone guesses what kind of rodeo, I will find a prize to send you. You have until 5 pm next Friday, June 21. You have to follow my blog to guess and win. So, guess only on this post. I cannot guarantee the prize since I am still thinking what it will be.
