Today I'm making a beef stew in the crock pot. Now anyone who has done beef stew in the crock knows that you still are "required" to brown the meat. I thought about NOT making this during the week but what's the point of a crock pot if you don't cook stuff while you're at work? So - I prepared Jim. I cut all the meat, cut the onions, cut the potatoes (they are soaking in water so as not to turn brown), prepared all the spices and the juice to go in. I gave him explicit directions on EXACTLY what he needs to do as well. Surprisingly he seemed to listen to it all and even said everything back to me. We'll see how many phone calls I get this morning.
Oh, Jim's hilarious: He just came down for breakfast and said, "All that stuff you wanted me to do this morning? I don't feel like it." Oh, I guess you don't feel like eating tonight either and here, give me that breakfast sandwich I just made you too. Devil!
It's raining. And chilly. Perfect day for beef stew.
In shoulder news, it's feeling a bit better. I've tried to do less with it this last day and a half (even writing left-handed on the board yesterday...it hurts to lift it like that) and I've been popping the naproxen. Sleeping is a bit difficult when I need to turn over but nothing I can't handle. Lets hope this is just a little glitch.
Okay - well, that's about all I've got. Need to do a few more things for Jim's prep and then it's off to work I go. Happy humpday! Later!
