Dinner with the Ragans!-
I have spent the day cleaning and cooking. My day starts with oversleeping past 6am which was the time I wanted to get up and clean the house. That totally did not happen and I have no idea why I thought it would. Any ways. I came home after taking the kids to school and started dinner so that it could go in the crock pot. I present you with a photo op moment of my journey in making COQ AU VIN!
What it looked like in the crock pot
Now about my new co leader. I was introduced to her by one of my friends. The Pioneer Woman. I love her site and her pictures and everything. Because of this I have made her my co leader with Martha Stewart. I hope they work well together because I can not lose them. I need direction!
I was given an idea by another friend about doing up a blog on WHY women want to go back in time and do the retro housewife thing. But I am wondering if maybe the way housewives were portrayed are what people are trying to recreate or if they are trying to recreate what their parents or grandparents did. I really did like the idea and while I am not big on giving history lessons I think this would make an interesting post. So a shout out to Brandy for the great idea and to Joy for introducing me to the Joy's of the pioneer woman.....Sorry Joy, I just really like your name....it makes me jump for Joy. Alright I am done I promise!
Until tomorrow Live Long and Mop Hard.

ReplyDeleteHi Tessie! Ooh, Cog Au Vin is a major undertaking. I would do it, but I am a vegetarian (smile). Yours looks so delicious though, and Nathan is adorable. I would never throw one that cute into my cauldron...;-)
ReplyDeleteStella-You wait until Nathan smiles at you after doing something evil...throwing him in a cauldron is something I can't do so I doubt anyone can look at those big brown eyes and do it lol.
ReplyDeleteCoolblogger-We ate all the food lol nothing left to share but I did manage to find the link to the recipe because I am madly lazy about reposting recipes the numbers confuse me and make wanna break down in a weep:)It's not too hard but I think I will try the real one here soon!
