Work and Play


This is what's happening around our house today...Work it Little Girl !!!
She has Always got time to stop and pose for a picture !! And yes, that underwear is Rolled, not folded! (old service trick. Makes for a lot more room in the drawer).
Or a little wrestling match...My money was on the Grandbabies !!
I do believe I just won five bucks !!! LOL

William and Mamma. Two peas in a pod!

Well, I don't really know what y'all are doing today. We've been working on getting the laundry finished up for the new week. Hubby is cooking..Good Man that he is...a pork loin roast. He has some new technique, he read about for the recipe, where you cook it, in the oven, for one hour at 475degrees. If y'all want to try it, it's 7 minutes a pound at 475dgrs. THEN, you just leave it in the oven for 3 more hours. DO NOT open the oven door...at all. Hubby put a thermometer(electronic) in the roast before cooking to make sure it reaches the correct temp. (180 interior temp). We've never done one this way so wait till I report back on how it turned out. If the meat still remains tough, I'll let you know.

Other than that, we're not up to anything newsworthy. I've popped the 1944 version of Sherlock Holmes into the DVD player, The House of Fear . I love these old ones. Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce.

It's back to work tomorrow. Maybe the calls will slack off after lunch. If they do, and the guys have caught up with all the calls, we may close early. Never know what it's going to be like. Usually there's lots of unstops of commodes and sinks. There's Always some man or woman who puts potato peels down the garbage disposer!! Or grease or celery. Oh well, bring it on!

Y'all have a peaceful night and I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Rosie- She's a good daughter..I taught her early on how to do laundry...Ahhhhh wonderful! LOL
Since my feet are already propped up, a good cuppa coffee sounds great!! And the roast? Not ready yet, but as soon as it is, I'll let you know how it turned out! Have a wonderful evening sweetie!!

yum, that sounds good. Do you have sweet potatoe's to go with it? Or, apple sauce? Or, collard greens and fried cornbread?

OMG, I gotta go now. :)

Sally- Well, I must admit, all those yummy things sound SO good girl, but when we sat down to eat the loin, it was tougher than we like...SO..I still think you should cook them in a more traditional way, wrapped or covered, in the oven, or out on the grill or smoker. I just posted the picture and it looked wonderful but Larry knew, as soon as he cut it, it would not be tender enough...Oh well, we'll cook it longer tomorrow for dinner. Did you have fun today?
