Wednesday Weather Haiku.... 10.29.14

Sun peeks out her face
Some blue pushes through the clouds
Rain will win the day

An easy to fix and good to eat dinner....

 

 

 

Get bone-in pork chops
A box of Stove-top stuffing for pork
A can of whole berry cranberry sauce
Some brown sugar
Some barbecue sauce (I use Kraft original)

Brown your chops about 5 or 6 minutes on each side.  Preheat oven to 350.  In the meantime, make your stuffing per box directions.  Then mix your cranberry sauce, two tablespoons of brown sugar, and 3/4 cup barbecue sauce.  When the stuffing is ready, stir it into the cranberry mixture. Then put your pork chops in a 13X 9 inch baking dish - and spread the stuffing/cranberry mixture on top of them.  Bake for 30 to 35 minutes... and enjoy!  I like to have this meal with fresh green beans too!

Wednesday Weather Haiku....

Gray skies over my head
Birds frolick in the rain drops
Chill winds revive me

I fought the fight....but lost....

and I'm not complaining!!

What was that fight you ask?  Trying so hard to not start this book! I wanted to start it the moment I bought it - which was the day it came out in August. But I knew if I started it, and then gulped it down, it would be a long year or more before the next one came out. But I couldn't stand it anymore!  And the other day, I picked it up and delved in. I'm parceling it out though - just reading a chapter here and there. That way I can sort of have "my book" and "read it too"!  Or something like that - LOL!

I love the village of Three Pines. But even more, I adore the characters who inhabit it....

Ten On Tuesday...

ten things I did last weekend....

1.  Knitted - a lot!  started about 5 or 6 or more cowls!

2.  Read - a lot!  finished two books and came close to finishing another. The two I finished are Little Bitty Lies and Lie Still - both good!

3.  Colored my hair...

4.  Went to the library to drop off some donation books....

5.  Went to a little get together at our neighbor's house....

6.  Changed the bedsheets...

7.  Watched the NASCAR race (fun fights between several of the drivers at the end had me cracking up and yelling at the tv)!

8.  Bought some more knitting patterns on Ravelry...

9.  Bought a Xmas gift for my Dad....

10.  Went to B & N for some book shopping - mainly got things for my husband to read!

Comfort Reads....

 

 

Every year in October (for a long time now), I have started a re-read of this book, Winter Solstice by Rosamunde Pilcher.  October also happens to be the month that the story begins.  I pick up the book from time to time - reading a chapter or two (I almost know it by heart by now)!  I usually finish up my re-read in January - about the time this story ends....  I can't explain why I love it so much - I just do. It is one of my great "comfort reads" and perfect for cozying up in a comfy chair with!

Ahhhhhhh...

 

 

 

 

 

that feeling you have when you finish a really good book!  One minute I would find myself wanting to read faster and faster in order to find out what happened! And the next minute I found myself wanting to read slower and slower so the book wouldn't be over. Finally read the last page of this 458 page book this morning.  Loved every word on every page!

Wordless Wednesday....
