Saturday Happenings

Summer is playing a trick on me.
It wants me to think it's gone
but it's not.
We're supposed to be back up in
the triple digits all next week.

That's okay.
I'm enjoying a glimpse of fall right now.

The air is cool in the mornings.
The stores are selling sweaters and boots.
I see yellow and orange decor.
I'm pretending that I don't know it's all a trick.

Today I made PW's pot roast.
That Ree!
She never lets me down.
My husband loved this.
He gets a double dose of mashed potatoes with his.
Because I like him today.


And have you met this guy?
Well, he's a big fat liar.
He sits there all cute and tells you
that he will be 4 servings.
That he will last you through Tuesday.
He will not.
I repeat, he will not last but two days.

I'm going to forgive him though because
of his high deliciosity factor.
All other ice creams are dead to me now.

Have a great weekend.

Fall is here for a bit here too...but yes...back to triple digits by Wednesday...the weather Gods are being cruel...making us feel so good about the coolness then taking it away! Pot roast looks good...funny how cooler weather makes us want to cook! I don't even want to try that ice cream...otherwise I'll be hooked!

Mmmmm.

Hope the weather in your area cools down - has it EVER been as hot as it was this summer in your area?

Today has been rain, cloud, rain, sun, sprinkles, sun, cloud, sprinkles, sun...

I've been painting with chalk paint today - my first tin, first try. Sky blue.

Hmmmm....seems that your new favorite BFF ice cream has some AUTUMN colors on the label,too!

AND you used orange (carrots) in your pot roast photo.

It's a theme..........

Happy almost fall-ish.

"Other ice creams are dead to me now..." You are so fickle, Holly! Wait til those Christmas flavors come out. You'll drop him like a hot potato! That roast looks delicious. I'll bet I need some of that.

Oh, that pot roast looks sooo good! I know what you mean about loving the cooler weather, and then Wham....mother nature giveth, and she taketh away!! Hot again next week here too. Hope when you get here though it will be cooler.
Can't wait!
Hugs,
Kris

Pot roast and mashed potatoes - that really IS a great dinner. That makes me think of a fall meal. Wish you here Holly. It's in the 60's, barely. As far as the ice-cream, if you would just TRY Ben & Jerry's "Chunky Monkey" - you might step out of the box and break your Reese's habit.

The icecream doesn't appeal, but the pot roast does ..... if only you could visit to taste Malcolm's pot roast ..... Ree's is but a pale imitation!!

That Reeses guy is going to be my new best friend, lies and all!

My pot roasts always turn out too dry, I will have to try P Dub's. We are very fall-y here in PA. I love love love this time of year, but hate it when we lose the leaves and it's just cold and gloomy til April. But now is GOOD!
