Then I discovered that for some reason I wasn't following you any more. I have rectified that and I am here now. Anyway, just wanted to let you know as I cannot imagine how long it has been since I disappeared. Back now. Glad to catch up with you. That is a long list of things to do, hope you get to do as many on your modified list as you can! Great to be here again!Amy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549633862321066496.post-62346651388609852012017-01-18T09:34:38.434-08:002017-01-18T09:34:38.434-08:00Yay for the 2 pounds!

I took off the 2 pounds I gained over the holidays, and haven't been on the scales since. Busy, busy.<br /><br />I glanced at your Homemaker Monday and saw that Carrie won her tournament. Congratulations, Princess Hockey Player! Haven't had time to really read your post, and I'm only half-way through the Five on Friday (didn't come to you yet).<br /><br />I took the day off last Friday and watched mysteries on Hallmark channel all day. I really needed the "down" time, and it served me well. I was really tired. <br /><br />Is the yummy-looking muffin recipe on Pinterest? I can do a search. I'd be delighted to make it next Monday.<br /><br />Our weather is cooperating, so the garage was warm enough that I could do my Tidy Up Tuesday going through all the grocery shelves and removing outdated items. I was shocked to find that many items purchased from Aldi don't have an expiration date printed on them. I probably threw out things which were okay because I just didn't want to take a chance. Now I know that I must give my Sharpie a workout when I get home from Aldi. <br /><br />I also cleaned out both refrigerators (garage and house) AND the freezer. I have only the kitchen pantry to clear out, and it's mostly teapots, so easy-peasy. Most of my food is in the garage because it doesn't get extremely hot nor extremely cold. <br /><br />So many goals - so little time, but Hey! I'm giving it a shot.<br /><br />About the KFC slaw recipe - I asked if they thought it tasted like KFC, and they said, "Better!".<br /><br />I don't know if the stew would crockpot. Sometimes that cooking method seems to change the texture of meat. It seems to draw out the moisture. You wouldn't want to go off and leave your oven on, but if you're going to be home, you don't have to watch the stew. As a matter of fact, you can't even peek. The secret is to use a tri-tip, and if you don't have that, ask the butcher for a good substitute (I think probably top sirloin). <br /><br />Still work to do, so goodnight, Dear Little Friend, and I'll read your posts a little later.Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493189870800125021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549633862321066496.post-65396478529201504052017-01-17T13:50:51.309-08:002017-01-17T13:50:51.309-08:00PS: I have a really fun yummy looking "muffin...PS: I have a really fun yummy looking "muffin" recipe I've always wanted to try and have never made. I think I may have to email that recipe to you and let you try it first for me! Lol!!

I love tuning in here and seeing what yummy recipes you'll have posted next. Or pretty tables. I love it ALL!! Once again you definitely did not disappoint! Your table was so pretty and everything looks so delish!<br /><br />I agree that you need to pace yourself, and set yourself up for success with your new year's plans. I think you're already off to quite a wonderful start my Dear. <br /><br />I'm going to definitely copy some of these recipes!! Both that pie and cake look amazing! And that roast sounds soooo good - would it translate to a slow cooker do you think? And I we love KFC's coleslaw. Yum, yum, yum! Now if only I wasn't trying so hard to be so good with my diet! Lol<br /><br />I never knew there was a difference in the types of cheesesteaks either. Thanks for the education! <br /><br />Now best of luck on your continued wonderful goals - and just take it one week at a time. Blessings to you my dear Patsy-girl! xoxocarrie@northwoods scrapbookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337824046780952876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549633862321066496.post-22432145211664731872017-01-17T10:29:40.136-08:002017-01-17T10:29:40.136-08:00In English we say that we got up on the wrong side...In English we say that we got up on the wrong side of the bed. Why? I don't know. This never made sense to me.<br /><br />I've heard a new quote to help me accomplish my goals - "Put more into your 24". Think I just need to work a little faster. We'll see.Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493189870800125021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549633862321066496.post-24314196354550026322017-01-17T09:21:22.086-08:002017-01-17T09:21:22.086-08:00First of all Patsy I want to thank you for your lo...First of all Patsy I want to thank you for your long and encouraging message! Things are not so bad as it seemed. My humour was not quite right when I wrote my post. Maybe got up with a wrong foot. Do they say that in English too?<br />I find joy during the winter with my books. My books and once again in books! :) Life is not that bad after all. I have to modify my goals also!<br /><br />And your loooooong list of goals made me smile! Really, a good happy smile. Near to laughing. Don't offend yourself, please! But the fact is that doing lists help a lot. I use lists in gardening season and they help me organize myself and get things done.<br /><br />So keep on listing! Maybe I'll take them as a winter habit too! Wishing you great January days dear Patsy!<br />Ps<br />Your dishes look soooo delicious and table settings beautiful.riitta khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00846480905422316167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549633862321066496.post-71704113998245292512017-01-16T08:29:42.321-08:002017-01-16T08:29:42.321-08:00I finally realized that I'm not Wonder Woman, ...I finally realized that I'm not Wonder Woman, so I'm modifying my goal list. However, I found that a list does encourage me to do more than if I didn't have a list. Something about checking off finished items.<br /><br />Do you follow Susan Branch? If so, you'll notice that those dishes I used are the ones she has. I've loved them since I saw them on her blog, and wonder of wonders, I found them on Craigslist at a fraction of the cost.Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493189870800125021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549633862321066496.post-27394515898673610462017-01-16T00:50:43.877-08:002017-01-16T00:50:43.877-08:00That was an extensive list of goals for 2017, hope...That was an extensive list of goals for 2017, hope you manage to achieve them.
