Good morning folks!
Sorry I was E & T yesterday. Busy day/evening.
I’m sorry to say that I did NOT have pie yesterday. But if I had, I might not be able to fit in my new (not but brag but I am) size 8 (you are not seeing things) jeans. I can hardly believe it myself.
I really enjoyed driving Bonnie all around yesterday. How nice it is to have a smooth riding, quiet vehicle. I am learning not to stomp on the gas pedal so I am back to my normal speeds. It seems like I’m crawling. Some old habits die hard. I’m not used to having AC and am still putting the window down instead of using it. I guess when summer comes I’ll start.
I filled the gas tank the other week and reset the trip odometer to see what kind of gas mileage I’m getting. I’ve already gone over thirty miles and the gas needle hasn’t moved. I learned that my trip to the bus stop is exactly .4 miles from the driveway to where I park so my round trip is .8 miles a day.
Did I tell you all about the extra remotes I bought for Bonnie off of E-bay? I got two of them for under twenty-five dollars. I had to call the guy to ask how to reset them but he was very nice about it and they work GREAT! Who knew that just turning the key on and off eight times fast would reset the remotes?
Now Mom has a remote and I have a spare as a “just in case”. I know Mom would never drive the SUV or the Van but I think it makes her feel good to have her own set of keys.
I meant to say the other night that I’ve been reading the AARP magazine since my Mom started getting it years ago. I always enjoy it. When I turn fifty, I will join so I can get it as well.
I looked on Amazon for the boxed Errol Flynn set but I didn’t see it. That’s ok. I’ll wait for it.
I bought
The Karate Kid collection yesterday. We watched the first movie last night. It seemed different to me. I would have sworn that I saw some other version of the ending. It seemed there were some missing scenes. Does anyone else think that?
I gave up on
BattleStar Galactica . Just can’t get into it. Of course, I’m tired on Friday night so trying to stay up until eleven is really hard. Hate to say it but the same for
Enterprise. I just never “got it”.
BK, if you want a good chicken recipe, allow me to give you one. It’s cooking in my house as I type this and I promise you that it is very good.
Roast Chicken n’ Vegetables
6 small new red potatoes, halved
1 (12 ounce) package (2 cups) fresh baby carrots, cut in half lengthwise—I cheat on this and just put in a package of those little carrots.
2 medium onions, quartered
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 ½ to 3 ½ pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces
Heat oven to 425 degrees. In roasting pan or 10 inch ovenproof skillet place potatoes, carrots, and onions. In 1 quart sauce pan melt butter; stir in all remaining ingredients except chicken. Brush about 2 tablespoons butter mixture over vegetables. Place chicken, skin side up, in pan on top of and around begetables. Brush chicken with remaining butter mixture. Bake for 45 to 50 mixtures or until chicken is fork tender and golden brown.
I don’t do it exactly the way this says. I put it all in a slow cooker and I add mushrooms. I put it on about 2 o’clock on about 300 degrees and it’s ready by 5. It is very, very, very (3 verys) good.
