Fun Day with Horses Cattle Friends and Food

It was beautiful today.  Warm and sunny and bright and clear.  Too bright and clear for good photography lighting but stilll captured fun images of the goings on.

One buck off.......not bad for our group :)......there's usually one.......lots of fun roping and sideline advice and a nice bbq lunch.  It's just fun to get together with friends and family.

I wasn't in too much pain....if I keep moving my torn cartilidge doesn't hurt.....standing still is a killer so I kept moving for the most part.  Time will heal this too!

I'm thinking about making a list of all the things I've done to my poor body over my lifetime.  I have quite the list of inflictions.  Maybe it will be of some interest to a descendant one day :)

Well, I'm sleepy and tired and tomorrow.....er,, today.....is Sunday and I need to rest up and go to church.

Rest well!

Hello again.....since I'm already here and don't have to remember to click on my blog and write...because I'm already here..........I think I'll share a great crock pot idea with you.........I'm cooking it right now.  In fact, it's done and it smells SUPERB and I'm going to make some quick gluten free bread to toast and butter to go with it........MMMM starving here......but wanted to share it with you before I eat and fall into a satisfied stupor on the sofa in front of a movie while Hub gives me a foot rub.  He can be very sweet sometimes!

So.......a little canola oil and water in the crock pot.......chicken tenders (because they cook quicker than large chicken breasts)......sprinkle garlic salt over the chicken......layer 2 cups of fresh mushroom slices all over the top of the chicken.....slice one stick of real butter and set atop the mushrooms here and there, willy nilly, hap hazardly... or strategically......a whole 'pod' (as Hub likes to call it) of garlic cloves layered atop  and around the chicken and mushrooms........a large onion quartered and flaked apart and layered over this delicious concoction...... .......grinding fresh salt and pepper wherever you want as you build sumptious creation.....and cook for however long your crockpot dictates on high heat.  Or low heat.  Or medium heat.   I guess that depends on how soon you want to eat :)

Add your favorite sides and some warm buttered bread and ENJOY! 

Never use margarine.....NOOOOO...........YUCK...........always use real butter :)

My friend owns a dairy and she says so!!!!!!!!  And I like butter better!!!!

Enjoy!

BLOGS

Well, I will...one of these days........get to my blog every day. 

I'm planning a FUN storefront website where I'll have for your shopping pleasure some waaaaay fun things ...more about that soon:) 

Until then  ..... occasionally.....when I remember.......when I slow down  .....when I think about it and don't say to myself I'll do that a little later.......when I stop checking email....when I stop visiting and uploading and writing on facebook....when I'm done playing on Pinterest (which is way too much fun) ....when I set my camera down and immediately click on my blog before anything else...I will write you something terribly interesting and share incredible food ideas and post wondrous images I've created......right here.

I think 'the blog' is the most wonderful invention.  Who invented this cool thing called the blog?  Who did the first blog?  What's your favorite blog?   I have some fav blogs out there.......at the top of the list is..... Pioneer Woman....Paleo Mamas (and Papas)......Who's Your Granddaddy?.....A Year of Slow Cooking.........Photoshelter .....Gluten Free Australia...and so on.  I need to do a blog study one day and make a list of my 100 favorite blogs.  Then I'll share them with you :)

One day I will have... for your viewing as well as reading pleasure ... a really FUN blog!  That's designed in my mind alas I don't know how to do it myself......until then.......

Until then... check back to see what I'm up to.

For example, did you know JACK AND JILL is one of the most adoreably, funny and touching movies?  Well, it is.  I watched it today.  I was sad when it ended.  Freddy Printz, Jr is in it...Watch it :)
