I'm definately not Martha Stewart

I thought I would try this Chili recipe in one of my Weight Watcher cook books. I was very excited. Went to the store and got my cloves of garlic, onions, cumin, chili powder, broth and meat. The only thing I didn't have is a dutch oven. I don't know if that made the difference or not. So I put in all the ingredients and put it on a slow simmer for what was supposed to be 2 hours. After about an hour I went to check on it....no liquid left at all It's ruined...

I wish I knew what I did wrong though. Was my stock pot just too big. I mean the liquid was only about 3 inches deep which I'm thinking made it cook too fast. Gah....I hate failing.

    i thought a dutch oven was when you fart in bed and then hold the covers over your spouse's/sig other's head.

    i've never done it to anyone. no really.

    Drats! I'd try it again, and this time add double the water. It can't hurt, right? Remember: I'm not a cook and I don't play one on tv.

    Mike,

    ummm...sometimes you just scare me (tee hee hee).

    Lisa,
    I kinda saved it by adding 2 cups of water just before it completely burned. It was okay tasting...just not sure if it was as good it could have been. I need new pans.

BSG Comes to an end?!

Image
I am a HUGE fan of the new Battlestar Galatica (BSG). Sad to hear that they are coming to an end next year. Does it mean they get to Earth? Are the Cylons defeated? Or do they find a peaceful way to co-exist with the Cylons? OR...are they going to leave it in cliff hangers for future movies? Thank goodness for DVD's so that I can always get my BSG fix!

Independence Day!

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence. When reading the text it's difficult not to see how history repeats itself. We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath s...

Hi-Tech Bed

Image
So our Select Comfort Bed arrived today. So far so good. Although I think we are losing air (it's not staying at 100 after I fill). Not sure though. Tonight will be the real test. I think my sleep number is 35. When trying it out both in the store and at home that is where I'm not feeling any pressure on my hips or shoulders. Jerry thinks his number is around there too. I'm really hoping this will help with Jerry's back, shoulder, neck pains. He is so much better but he occasionally gets flare ups. No fun Oh yea...and the controller is Wireless. We can be gadget whores in our sleep too!
