Cooking up a dinner in the crock pot and will fry some eggplant to go with it. This crock pot meal is a first for us. The recipe calls for cube steak/minute steak (same thing, I think). You put that in the crock pot (tired of typing that) and add one envelope dry onion soup mix and 2 cans mushroom soup, plus 3/4 c. water. Then you cook it for however long and it's supposed to be absolutely dishy. Of course, I just checked the recipe and the writer says to cook it on low all day---versus what I've done and let it simmer on high since about noon. Hope that's long enough. I grew up on cube steak and HATED IT. Those little stringy bits about made me want to throw my plate and my sweet mother served this to us all the time. Must be it was cheaper then, because it certainly wasn't inexpensive when I bought it yesterday. If this turns out tasty, will definitely have to find a sale next time.
Now then.
It's an absolutely fabulous day weather-wise today. The rain we had for a couple of days brought much coolness and breeziness today. It was still and humid last night when we went to bed, and this morning it felt chilly. Very fall-ish. Delightful. If I was an energetic sort of person, I'd do something energetic! Glad I bought that strand of Halloween lights last night at T*rget. I got the multi-colored ones and they look so pretty hanging between the living/dining rooms. Must take a photo.
Now I'm trying to get my head on straight. The bedroom window is up and while I know I've got to get up in a minute to put the rice on (where the meat will sit), I'm not of a mind to follow through. Fall fever, I guess.
Hope all is well in your world. If you're on the east coast, you should be getting this wonderful breeze in a day or so. Enjoy.
