I’m tired tonight but I got a lot done. Not everything but most of it.
After calling around about having the tree in the back yard taken down (and almost passing out at prices I was quoted) I decided to hire the company, Bear & Danise’s Tree Service. It was explained to me that Danise doesn’t do anything without her supervisor, Bear, there to oversee her work.
They arrived promptly and Bear dug himself a hole to supervise from. He also grabbed some of the branches and ran with them, then also tried to provide the chipper/shredder by chewing on them.
Not everything was done but one whole limb is down and cut into lengths that the garbage men will take. I will take pity on them and buy a chain saw to use next weekend to finish everything up. Trying to everything with a hand saw is rough work.
I'm a Harrison Ford fan, so of course I know and liked The Frisco Kid. I understand that John Wayne turned the part down. Hanover Street is another one of Mr. Fords movies that I think is underrated.
The only movie he made that I can't stand is The Mosquito Coast. I read the book as well but really had to force myself to finish it.
Thank you for the offer of the video tape, TD, but I think I have it someplace. Taped from the TV of course but I was hoping for a DVD. I went to E-bay and saw one. Not sure how legal of a copy it is.
Glad you like the photo, DR Elmore and DR Jrand. It’s the one from the Empire State Building cropped down. I have some ideas to dress it up but am to tired right now to do anything with it.
I made a new recipe for dinner tonight. Mom really liked it.
Harvest Pork Roast with Gravy
3 lb pork boneless shoulder roast
1 Pkg (8 ounces) fresh mushrooms, cut in half
1 jar (12 oz) home-style pork gravy
1 can (6 oz) tomato paste with Italian seasonings
1. Spray 12 inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray. If pork roast comes in netting or is tied, do not remove. Cook pork in skillet over medium-high heat 5 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides.
2. Spray 5 to 6 quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place pork in cooker. Arrange mushrooms and onion around pork. Mix gravy and tomato past in small bowl; pour over pork and vegetables.
3. Cover and cook on low heat setting 8 to 10 hours.
4. Place pork on cutting board, remove netting or strings. Stir gravy in cooker, serve with pork.
Now I didn’t do a lot of the above. First, I salted and peppered my pork roast. I did not put it in the skillet; I just put it in the cooker. I also put 2 sweet potatoes in with it so they would cook in the gravy juice. I also put it in at about 250 degrees from about 11:00 AM. By the time we ate it at about 5, it was so tender, I could “cut” it off the bone with a spoon.
Thanks for the congrats on the T-Shirt, Jane. I don’t think the design is that great but it did fit in with events around the walk.
Hope you feel better, Panni. I’m saving my pomegranate for next Friday night because I know how I’ll feel the next day. Can’t help it. I love’em.
TCB! I’m so glad to see you have returned to us. I wish could have looked at your computer for you. I’m somewhat good with them. I spent all of last Sunday at my friends house helping her with hers. She likes to cook and has a program that she has put hundreds (no joke) of recipes in. She bought a new computer but couldn’t figure out how to get it to accept what she had backed up. She had the same problem with Quicken.
She hired a guy to come out (and he had the nerve to charge her forty dollars an hour!) but he couldn’t get either program to work. Not to brag but I got both up and running WITH all of the old data from the old computer. I also got her printer to work (the guy downloaded the wrong driver).
Tom, so glad to see your back as well! A report, we want a DETAILED report! I heard you walked out on Woman in White!
Ann, tell Jed to hang in there! He WILL get the job.
Joey, I’m sure it is possible to cut out the dialogue but it would take the right software program to do it. I've never tried to do that but I think Easy CD Creator might be able to help.
