new to do list Monday

good evening everyone 

It’s chilly here,  is it chilly where you are? 

I made a new to do list for this week.  This pen and paper method is just what works for me.  

I like that planner I bought but I know I won’t  keep using.  

does anyone want a very slightly used planner? Go back a few posts to see what it looks like.  It’s a full size printed paperback book, not spiral bound or purse size.   

 I can mail it to someone in the USA requests it 

Supper was easy 

chili from the freezer on baked potatoes 

It was warm and very tasty on a cold day 

Hope you all a pleasant Monday

a short weekend trip

Hello again

We drove down to Shawnee Oklahoma to an event one of our sons was involved with. 

Bobby works full time and has a family but he’s also a competitive barbecue cook and has own line of seasonings.

  

very tasty Spare Ribs all perfect to turn in for judging.  

The cooking is all done outside in the parking lot.  They all have trailers or tents,  an assortment of cookers,  lots of lawn chairs and lots of friendship.  They cooks are competing against each other but they also seem to have deep friendships.  

There was an indoor banquet after this cooking event to give awards for the 2024 cooking season.  

This big arena was full of cooks and their friends and families.

Bobby did very well.  

Bobby’s awards from last night 

We stayed in a hotel because we didn’t want to be driving home late at night.  

that’s our room and our stuff already unpacked.  It was good room,  clean and quiet and not crowded 

The complementary breakfast was great!  I started with oatmeal and then had some tiny scones that were fresh and delicious.  My husband had little omelets, smoked sausage, and toast.  

This was the Hampton Inn in Shawnee.  

The first day we ate at a Cracker Barrel.  The food was Ok- nothing spectacular though.  

But if you want to shop,  there were so many cute things in the Cracker Barrel gift shop.  

I enjoyed looking but didn’t buy a thing.  I’m trying to have less stuff in our home,  not more.  

The weather was cool on Saturday when we were outdoor.

But today it’s bitter cold with high winds.  

We even have a dusting of snow.  

I plan on staying home until it warms up some.  

I don’t like being in cold wind.  

Supper was a homemade pizza.  

I made the dough in the bread machine but it could also be done by hand or in a mixer with a dough hook 

when I cook with an actual recipe,  I will try to include it but sometimes I just mix up ingredients that we have and sound good 

I made the 1 pound amount of dough for our 1 pizza 

sausage, mild jalapeño, onion, homemade sauce from the freezer and green olives on part for my husband 

This was a great supper on a cold evening.  

That’s the highlights of our weekend

Thank you for reading
