Funny Phone Convos and Slow Cooking Thursday

I just got off the phone with a dear 'old' friend. The friend that goes all the way back to the 7th grade. He was like my brother and we were inseparable as kids. We recently reconnected and got our families together and man, it was so hilarious!

Have you ever gotten in touch with an old pal after YEARS and then found everything fell right back into place? We just had one of those phone conversations where you're laughing so hard your stomach hurts, you're interrupting each other left and right, finishing each other's sentences, laughing again and again and again. I'm so thankful that my husband 'gets' me...he knows I live for this stuff. He sat beside me playing some online card while occasionally chuckling at his girl.

He wishes he knew me as a kid...although, he would have thought I was a nut...for sure.

And rightfully, so. ;-)

1/2 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 pinch ground allspice
salt to taste

DIRECTIONS

Rainy Day Deals and Freebies...

Ahhhhh I had the most wonderful 'baby is taking a nap' time yesterday. It was one of those cold...but not too cold, rainy...but not too rainy days yesterday. I was enjoying the overcast day. I put the baby down for a nap and decided to not do laundry or dishes or cleaning. Instead, I beat my high score on an online word game, ate some Marie Callender's Pie, read a gushy novel and then took a glorious nap. When I woke up, the baby was still sleeping.

Does it get any better than that?

Find a family you can share a meal with....Slow Cooker Thursday

Hello all! Sorry I missed the deals for yesterday. Been worried deeply for a friend of mine. She is 33 and has had two strokes in a week. In spite of the strokes, she is doing fairly well. She will have to relearn many things, but her speech is coming along well. If you could, please keep Carrie in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you.

Needless to say, blogging wasn't top on my priority list. If I randomly disappear, that is why. I've been doubling up my dinners and taking her family meals as well as spending time with her in the hospital. Who likes to cook in a time like this? Speaking of cooking, the slow cooker meal is listed at the bottom, of course. :) I encourage you to cook a meal for someone who could use one.
