We're still cleaning up around the house. And working outside is still no fun! Fall has arrived, but you could never tell by looking at the thermometer! It's been hovering around 100 degrees almost every day, until the last few. Most of the brush is out front waiting for the country to take away...........We thought our yard was bad....they had three times the amount of tree limbs across the street! And just a few days ago, Rich got the ladder out to clean out all the gutters that were clogged - or close to it!
Our neighbors, Jim and Patty have a handyman that does work for them, most recently putting up and taking down storm shutters, and repairing their lanai roof and replacing the screen. Ronnie, will be helping us out as well, and we expect that within the next week or so, he will be replacing the fascia board on the roof, and repairing the screens on our back sliders.
One of my newer recipes for Crock Pot Pork Tenderloin was delicious..... Thickened the sauce which made a great gravy for the mashed potatoes.
.but while the Pasta e Fagioli looked very good we were both a little disappointed. Next a little less tomato, and a bit more Chicken stock.
Or try a new recipe!!
Friday we headed to Fort Myers to meet up with friends Nathan and Krystal at the Broadway Palm Dinner Theater. We hit some pretty wicked rain storms on the way, and got stuck in traffic about a mile and a half from the theater.
But arrived in plenty of time to enjoy and adult beverage, an awesome buffet that included chicken, pork with a cherry sauce, white fish and Beef Sirloin, complimented by veggies, potatoes, rice, varied salads, lobster bisque and every desert imaginable! The show was "Groovin' The 60's & 70's Musical, and it was excellent! They have two more coming up soon that I'd like to see; Pippin and Chicago.
Since it's only an hour and a half away, we decided not to spend the night. A bit late when we finally got home, so we both slept in later than normal the next morning. Saturday was a fun day! Rich wanted to make some home made yeast risen bread, so I made a quick trip to the grocery store since I had no yeast... and picked up a few other items. (Also stopped at the hardware store and picked up some new house numbers to replace the sign over the mailbox).
Funny though.......I did not fix a meal at all, all day Saturday. We threw a hot pocket in the microwave at lunch time ( which was after 1:00 o'clock....and sometime after 6........we sliced the still warm bread...........and that was dinner!!
Well..............we did have dessert a little later..............A small banana split, with vanilla ice cream, crushed pineapple, chocolate or hot fudge, peanuts and whip cream!!!! We were sooooooooo bad!! But it was soooooooooo good.
Sunday was a bit more of the same...
Rich was still in the mood for baking so together we made cream puffs with a whip cream and french vanilla pudding filling.Mmmmmmmm... delicious! Yes, I had ONE!........Monday, I definitely must go back to being good and eating better!
