pointsevenout 1 month, 3 weeks ago said: RE: It's Tuesday IDIOTS!..................Why do people run over skunks!?..........Got a big ol' polecat 100 yards down the road where the prevailing wind paints that smell all over us! No dead animal pickup service out here in the county either. I'm hoping one of my neighbors knows what to do 'cause I'm not going anywhere near it. Poor souls, still idiots, that run over the carcass have to carry that smell around on their car for a while. I've met up with live skunks on the road before and managed to circumvent them. Come on buzzards and do your thing!
Going to be a rainy day today so I'll make up some butternut squash soup and some more focaccia bread.

...at least the screen is not quite as swimmy as it was yesterday...
Would I be a bad cook if I just threw a roast in a crock without searing it? Oh, who am I kidding, I'll be searing it...
mrtnzangel8 1 month, 3 weeks ago said: RE: It's Tuesday Ohhhhh, I just went back and read about Mason. Poor little guy. I am a total jerk for griping about my situation when his is so much worse. Gonna turn all my moaning and groaning into some positive thoughts...heck, I'll take on his sick too.

I'm convinced our cat has gone to the big catnip patch in the sky. Being an outside cat I think he ate some things that he couldn't pass. His stomach was all swollen up and tight but he was losing weight and hair. Glad he is out of misery. Now on to the task of de-fleaing the house. Mother doesn't want another companion pet though I'm tugged to get her one. Another week and I'll start getting rid of the cats things and food.
m2googee 1 month, 3 weeks ago said: RE: It's Tuesday Ang, you are far from a jerk! What a wonderful person you are to take the time when you are so sick yourself to send good thoughts Mason's way. Thank you so much and I hope you are feeling better yourself today. This stuff going around is just awful and and if one is not careful it turns into something bad. Hope that pot roast turns out great for you, I usually don't sear mine if I am putting in crock pot; that makes another pan to wash! lol Points, sorry to hear about your kitty.
pointsevenout 1 month, 3 weeks ago said: RE: It's Tuesday It's a good thing the cat is gone. Even if he didn't get digestion troubles, he was old. Thirteen+ years according to an uncle on the upwind side of the skunk.
Squash is in the oven baking. Chicken bones are defrosting for some homemade stock. Soups coming.

Ang, honey, pneumonia is not something that you get over quickly, and the last thing you want is to rush it and "take a back set" (as my Mom always called it). No need to sear anything going in the crock pot. I never do. I even put frozen roasts in there...they come out nice and brown. Frozen chicken works, too. And if you have a sauce or gravy your going to want, you don't need to have had that flour on the seared meat; just pour the sauce in a little sauce pan, bring it to a boil, stir a spoonful or two of cournstarch into a little water, stir it into the boiling sauce, and it will thicken, lump free, in just a minute. My slow cooker comes off the base and will sit on the stovetop, so I just do it in there with whatever I'm slowcookin.
Hillary out of school with the flu. They did an H1N1 test yesterday..said if it came back positive they would be in touch...think I'll call them if I've not heard anything this afternoon and double check.
Thanks for the tip on the hot link, Points.
Hillary said she wanted some potato soup, so I guess that's what I will be making tonight. Cool and rainy again, so that works for me too!
Ang.....Lori's right....You need to rest or you'll never get better!!!

All your dinners sound good. I was informed last night that all of a sudden the old man is not crazy about tomato sauce dishes, e.g., spaghetti, lasagna, and my stuffed shells which were wonderful. I think the old age is changing his taste! I said, "well that's gonna pose a problem" LOL Takes a whole lot of good dishes out of play. What's next, he doesn't care for Mexican! NO!!!! That being said, I think I'll make some bland white rice for dinner. LOL
valinkenmore 1 month, 3 weeks ago said: It's Tuesday So sorry to hear so many are sick. Please take it easy and don't overdo it. So many nasty bugs but most just take time. It's Reuben sandwiches and beer cheese soup. Both are easy and favorites for us. It's another one of those dishes I make in the Fall. Yes, I'm like the rest - I never sear the roast before putting it in the crock. Comes out wonderfully moist and tasty. Hope someone buries the skunk fast for you Points. And so sorry to hear about your cat. Have a better day everyone.

Sorry about your old cat, Points. I'm staring down the day when Misty M will leave us. She is down to 4 lbs. and is so blinded by cataracts, I ache for her. She is incredibly grumpy and sleeps all day and hates to be disturbed by the rambunctious ones around here.
