right now I am watching Den sleep...he came in from the "wilds" of Minnesota after midnight last night...today is a slow moving kind of day...thus the slow cooker dinner! Perfect...don't you think? It is filling the house with amazing smells...it's a roast with sautéed onion, pancetta, carrots and celery...simmering in red wine and a can of Italian tomatoes...it's actually called Italian roast beef and it is freaky delicious. I will either make some tiny buttered shells or polenta to eat with it later. Because it almost forms a rich red sauce...it's from an amazing cookbook I have called The Italian Slowcooker.
Still immersed in the world of the Silvers and the Reds...so good...
As soon as Den wakes up we will finish watching the Hobbit...the newer one...my foray into fantasy over the holidays is deep...very deep! But I really hate Orks!
I appreciate your thoughts about Lucy so much...she is eating a bit but she has lost so much weight...she looks a little rough right now...my sweet baby...she has always had such soft lush shiny fur...Tonks are known for that...and her walk is a bit shaky...but for now...she is better...and still alive...which is the best part.
Happy Friday!
I'm glad to see Lucy is hanging in there. I've had y'all on my mind but don't want to become a pest with emails.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was a good day!
DeleteMake sure she is drinking her fluids. Dehydration makes them feel miserable.
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to get cats to drink but she is...as long as it's a mug on my night stand!
DeleteHang in, Lucy!
ReplyDeleteThat roast looks so delicious that I am thinking I must, must, must get a slow cooker.
This roast was amazing! Maybe there will be a slow cooker in your Queue someday?
DeleteLove a good slow cooker recipe. Keeping Lucy in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Jennifer!
DeleteGlad Lucy is hanging in there okay and still eating! I don't eat beef but the sauce sounds so yummy!
ReplyDeleteI have been on a fantasy kick lately, spending way too much time doing research to find a couple I will enjoy, so I'll keep Red Queen in mind.
Our family loves Lord of the Rings. We re-watched the first one on Thanksgiving afternoon for the millionth time just because my son found it on the shelf and suggested it :) We are going to see the last in the Hobbit movie trilogy when it comes out.
Lucy is hanging in there! She is eating and coming downstairs and behaving more like herself!
DeleteI seem to always want to watch The Lord Of The Rings over these holidays...I can't wait to see the latest one, too!
