So I put away the fleece...

..actually, if you live in Colorado you know that's not true but rather wishful thinking. It's finally getting warmer! Today, it's going to be sunny and 67 and it doesn't get much better than that. I will, at last, put my tomato and pepper plants in the ground. I will walk barefooted in my grass, I will soak up the sun on recession beach.....(uh, my deck) and enjoy it, that is until next week. That's when we could be digging out the snow boots. Naw, I'm kidding of course but it IS Colorado. It's where you can experience three seasons in twelve short hours.

Crock Pot, how I love thee....

There's nothing better than putting a big hunk of meat in a big pot add a few ingredients and let it cook. Coming home to the smell of crock pot wonder is a wonder in itself. If you don't have a slow cooker, you should really consider getting one. Here's why, it took me about four minutes to assemble a complete dinner for my family of three tonight. Roast, two cups of broth, three onions, four potatoes, a pinch of garlic, some basil, peppercorns and a beer. Set it on low or warm and leave. Come home later to wonderful, home cooked goodness. The whole meal probably only costs me about seven dollars. It will last for two meals, at least. I love my crock pot. This is my thought of the day. It saves me time and money, two things that are very precious today.

"Let 'em eat cake"

Oh, boy. Oh boy. I just wanted a chocolate cake for my wedding with chocolate icing....not traditional, I know but I don't care for cake much to start with so there has to be something to hook me. This was met with some opposition. In the end we decided it wasn't worth having words over, however I just have to draw the line at eating YEAR old cake (YUCK) on our one year anniversary. That's just nasty. And I'd much rather the extra cake go to the guests.
