Oh, You Poor People.....

Y'all will all eventually rue the day I discovered I can take videos with my new camera.
Yes you will.
It may not be today or next week or next month.
But I promise you eventually......some day.......after y'all get tired of listening to my "nails on a chalkboard" voice yammering on and on about nothing at all, in a stream-of-consciousness style, you WILL regret the day I figured this dang blasted technology on my camera out.

And that's the day that my follower numbers will start declining....RAPIDLY! lol

But until y'all get the good sense to abandon this ship blog, you will be subjected to more of my boring videos.
Oh you lucky, lucky people!!

Today's offering for this weekend.
A brief tour around Sluggy's garden......
 
 


You will need to crane your necks a bit at the end of the video as I went sideways with the camera....oops.....
I guess I started drinking "iced tea" before I shot that bit....wink, wink. ;-)

Don't You Wish....

Remember that old song that went something like....."Don't You Wish Your Girlfriend was Hot Like Me"?

Well my post title is a riff on that old song......Don't You Wish Your Girlfriend was Sluggy! lol

I know y'all are all jealous that you aren't up here in Pennsyltucky with me at my house like Tanner is.....was.  8-))

T left about an hour ago but we had some fun earlier today.  We had a little cookout on the back deck before she bugged outta here for home.
Check it out......

 
 
Off to catch up on what everyone else is up to and leave some comments on blogs....

She's Here! She's Here!

Sorry I didn't post anything earlier today.

#2 Son had his wisdom tooth removal appointment this morning at 10:30am.
The oral surgeon's office called here at 7:30am to say they had a last minute opening at 8:30am and if we wanted to, we could come in, in an hour for that time.

Riiiiight!
I am barely awake, not cleaned up or dressed, haven't fed myself breakfast or taken my meds, haven't taken the dogs out yet this morning AND even more important.....I haven't woken the "patient" up yet so he isn't ready to leave.
So how am I going to get all this done PLUS drive a half an hour away to their office in the next 58 minutes.

What are these people thinking??.....or are they? lolz

So we get our morning routine done and I read a few blogs while I shoveled cold cereal into my mouth.

Then it was off to the appointment. 
An hour later I hauled #2 Son home(after a quick stop to pick up his Vicodin)and tried to make him comfortable.
The poor kid......the Vicodin wasn't helping relieve his pain much, so we added some Motrin PM, to help him get to sleep.
It's after 10pm and he just woke up so I guess it did the trick.  ;-)

When we got home,  I commenced cooking.  I smoked a pork shoulder and a mess of spareribs yesterday.  About noon I put them in a low and slow oven(200 degrees)for about 6 hours to finish them off.
I also made yellow squash casserole, collards and coleslaw(for the pulled pork sammies).

At around 3:30pm I heard a car pull up out front and ran out to see that Tanner had arrived.

Here she is in all her glory.....in my kitchen....


The next 3 or 4 hours(see?....I don't even know how long it was!)flew by as we yakked it up.
And here I was worried that we'd run out of things to say........hahaha!!!

We gabbed and I finished cooking, Hubs came home and we ate and #2 son slept through the meal.

After our late dinner we settled down into the den and I subjected Tanner to Honey Boo-Boo.
I don't think she is a fan.....lol

Then I left her in front of the tv for a few episodes of Duck Dynasty while I checked my email, read some blogs and wrote this lame post up.

I'm dog tired and heading to bed early tonight.  But first I need to show Tanner to her room and where to park her stuff.
Tomorrow?
Who knows what tomorrow will bring.
Maybe we'll just hang out here or go out to lunch or sightseeing or go rob a bank......
Ok, I'm kidding about the sightseeing. ;-)

Kitchen Magic

Yesterday evening this......

Along with the addition of sliced up chicken breast pieces, honey, rice wine vinegar, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic, soy sauce, ground pepper and cornstarch got turned into this.....


Served over a side of Jasmine Rice made with Coconut Milk.....

Nothing out of a box with preservatives up the wazoo and ingredients I can't pronounce.

Looks almost good enough to eat, doesn't it? 8-)
