trying to get some sort of a recycling logo on my email signature stamp, and I find this one hilarious. I can't resize it, though so I don't know how I can get it on my sig.
making shepherd's pie for dinner ..... I know I've done this before and "featured it" here. But this one is Rachael Ray's (adore her!) and it's from my likely favorite cookbook of hers on days like this (yet ANOTHER rainy/dreary Sunday afternoon .... {sigh} )
the little gal and I worked together to get it done while the boys were off to (what's hopefully) Cam's final tryout for the AAU baseball team for next year (yes, you read that correctly)
(notice the jammies ... she actually changed to go to the grocery store with me, and when we returned, she changed back .... comfort a priority in this house?! yes, thankyouverymuch)
the meat. with carrots and corn. and worceshire, and beef gravy (homemade, I'll have you know. and the recipe didn't even call for homemade ... you know me, adding a step is what i do best!)
the finish line .... well, almost. gotta broil it, but timing that part for the boys arrival home. I know you're just dying for the actual recipe, but I don't actually want to type the whole thing out. no, that's not entirely true.
yes, yes it is. :)
busy week last week. relatively busy this week, but there is a really special treat of a trip to see my 3 month old niece in NY. Yay! (gotta get busy finishing the baby gifts ..... ) I have a work meeting near her house, so I am visiting she and my sil and bil. Looking very forward to it.
and my last random thought .... anyone else really shocked at the price of feeding a family these days? I went to the gorcery store, and limited my choices (mostly because I didn't need a "big shop" ... or so I thought) and the bill was just about 200.00! How does that even happen? I need to get better at coupon clipping, and watching sales.
You know, in my spare time. I need a secretary.
Hahaha, that's a good one.
Have a wonderful Sunday evening ..... and be sure to fill your belly with something yummy tonight .... and spend the night around the dinner table talking about the week that past and the fun stuff that's coming up! That's what I'm doing ..... :)

Hey you!
That looks great, so...what's the recipe?
LOL
(jk - I always use allrecipes.com for the things I make)
Yes, the cost of groceries is crazy, isn't it? I admire those who are extremely disciplined and who can cut costs drastically, but coupons don't usually work for me 'cause I don't usually use a lot of that stuff anyway. Wouldn't it be nice if we could clip coupons for veggies and milk and fruit and meat? The processed stuff is just not good for ya anyway, so saving a buck on something I won't use - not very helpful, lol.
My Sunday night was spent on the road! But I love the idea of Sundays as a day of rest with family. My mom really fought hard for that when we were kids. Sometimes I thought she was weird. But now I really appreciate it!
