One More

One more day of spring weather to enjoy.  I am thrilled for any of the people that have to work outside. 

According to KNUJ weather forecasters, the mention of six to ten inches of something caught my attention.  Yup, winter will return.  The northern portion of Minnesota may be getting winter back.

Dennis had found a recipe on Facebook for us to try.  He first asked if I had paper and pencil.  I did.  He read the recipe off of his laptop for me to copy while I was in my bedroom porch.  Sounded like a plan to me.  Crockpot recipe:  1 1/2 pounds of ground beef made into four patties, placed in a Pam sprayed crockpot.  In a bowl, combine 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, I envelope of dry Lipton’s soup with 1/2 cup of water.  Stir well.  Pour that over the hamburger patties.  Cover crockpot and cook on low for 5-6 hours.  That might depend on the crockpot.

Well, I can tell you the aroma of this dish is quite good.  I am thinking the gravy like consistency with the juice of the hamburger would be quite good over instant mashed potatoes.

I had a good session in the studio.  I have eight placemats with a foam interior cross hatched.  I managed to sew the 2.5 binding on two of them.  I needed a refresher course to join the said binding, looking as if it were continuous with no lumps or bumps.  I remembered Emerald Meadows had such a tutorial on YouTube.  I had used it quite often.  About that time, I ran out of bobbin thread and decided to check out.

When we were in Hy-Vee last week, I had bought six small cucumbers.  I used three today for peeling and slicing.  Also a purple onion came home with me.  They are said to be far more superior than any other in the vein of health purposes.  A bit of mayo and a scant amount of sugar and we have a great side dish.

All is well.

With that I will take my leave.  ♥
