Whatever works!!

This new mls system is killin' us. I know it will be great when all the kinks are out, but in the meantime, it royally sucks.

We had a month to look at it, but it was not really working because so much info was not transferred until Labor Day. It went into effect on Tuesday morning, at the same time the old one went kaput.

It still isn't  working properly. Got an email this morning that it will be next Tuesday before one feature will work. Not a real big issue for my needs, but still it's just one more issue.

Oh that sounds good.  I love black bean soup and stew.  You know what's a nice touch to that?  Just a little squirt of lemon (or lime) juice.  Brightens the flavor.

Great idea! I'll try it next time.

Eyeball. Sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less.

I write approximations in the recipes. You can adjust herbs and spices up or down to suit your taste. I like cilantro and cumin, so I put in more.

On the menu for Sunday's lunch is sauteed salmon tails cooked in butter. Prefer the thinner pieces cause they cook faster and more evenly. To add a little kick adding Louisiana remoulade dressing to top it off. Plus, crawfish etouffee with angel hair pasta using Louisiana crawfish. Those Chinese crawfish are nasty. For veggie is broccoli florettes. SIL may cook more veggies.

Saturday afternoon after work I stopped at a locally owned restaurant and had their Saturday special. A 12 oz black angus boneless rib eye steak with two sides and a soda for $12.99. It was darn good. I was worn out after work, a very busy day.

Sunday morning it's back to work at 8 AM, I should be sleeping now but sometimes the physical issues complicate things.

I think I'm into my "winter nesting" phase a little early this year.

Made pork chops with homemade stuffing Monday night which made the family quite happy.

Now I'm wanting chicken and homemade noodles.  :drool:

Found an new apple cake recipe on Paula Deen's site that I'm going to try too.

I LOVE Fall!!!!  :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

Sounds great.  Our weather has cooled off, daytime highs still in the high 80's and low 90's, that is our Fall. Night time is nice and cool, actually feels cold. A/C does not run very often as the humidity is only 16%

I have been going out to eat often, have had some great prime rib and a couple great steaks. Today I took a vacation day from work, but it's so windy outside there is an air advisory outside for allergies. I have some congestion going on and thought it was best just to stay home inside. I think I will have a can of soup for dinner! The wind gusts are up to 45 MPH.

Went to the range tonight, so no time for cooking.  I had a hot dog, and a beer this time.  (after I got back from the range, of course)

Sounds like a party.

I haven't been shooting since 2007.  I kind of miss it. :(
