Grand opening of Nonsense, Cooking, Underwear and Complaining
I know some of you read my spiritual blog Crazy Life. Sometimes I have things to say that are kind of random. So this is my rambling along without Bible verses included. I hope some of you enjoy it.
I love soap. When I visit motels, I snag all the little bars, especially the finer triple milled. Not that I stay in really good hotels that often. Mostly Motel 6ing it since dogs are always welcome.
Goodys Department Store used to carry large heavily scented bars for $5. Each time I went in I would add a bar to my collection. The last time there was no soap near the register. I wandered around in hopes that it was merely relocated. No Soap for You!
My former co-worker, who I hope I can also call friend, Steve, sent me a lovely bar from the Fernwood company. He chose peppermint. What is significant about it is that it is a Total Body Shampoo and Conditioner. Perfect for light traveling which is the only kind I do. The mint smell is very light and not overwhelming like an essential oil. It can be ordered by phone or mail. I appreciate not being referred to a web site. It is more human and personal.
The dilemma now is choosing between the 8 untried scents. Maybe I should try the foot cream? This is probably TMI but I have the cracked dried disgusting feet of a troll. I could also get myself the Gift Basket, six bars gift wrapped in a basket with your choice of "flavors."
In other news, don't you hate when your underwear is too tight in the leg? It might be from Christmas baking but since it seems to be in one leg, I am thinking I have one fat thigh? The thing is, I wear them, complain, wash them and wear them again and complain. For some reason I never just toss them away. I do have plenty of them. After a junior high of owing 3 pair along with two school outfits, and having to do my own frequent laundry I now have closets and drawers filled with "extra" clothing.
I cook a lot but the holidays certainly upped my oven and stove time. I thought I might share a recipe of two. I have an easy one for a pork tenderloin. However it is in the form of a story. My husband loves the meat raffle and he brings home something nearly every week. For the last three months it has been bacon and pork loins.
We have a small freezer, so we donated 5 or 6 to the church for a fundraiser. He kept bringing them home, so we have filled up Cousin Jeannie's freezer. We thought maybe we should cook one.
I had to work (I should say GOT to work, it is the best job of my life) so I left the proper spices on the stove for the husband. Rosemary, Thyme, Garlic, and Salt all ready for him. He put it in a big pot, and took it upon himself to add some packets of Chinese Hot Mustard left from the carry out. He stuck it in the oven ad forgot about it. When I came home - 5 hours later all I can say is uh oh. He said it was very dry. Geeze, you think? I don't eat a flot of meat and we had 8# of overcooked pork. What to do, what to do.
I pulled all the pork, stirred in a bottle and a quarter of the store brand Hickory smoked BBQ sauce. That, with buns and coleslaw made a treat for the Thursday night card group. They all swore it was delicious. My brother ate three of them. So that is my secret recipe. Screw up everything and salvage as best you can.
