Enjoy ...it WILL make you laugh insanely.

Angie at " Adventures In Homecooking " Has Another Winner



Adventures in Home Cooking
A peek inside my recipe box.
Find Entries


I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I love my crockpot. I also happen to love beer. When I saw this recipe, I considered throwing it together right away and eating it for Monday morning breakfast. Why? Because I have some major issues that need to be addressed. But I digress.This is really good, and really simple. Ridiculously simple, in fact. I almost hesitate to blog it because it isn't really cooking, and there isn't even any preparation involved, just dump it into the crockpot before work, set the timer, and come home to deliciousness. This is PERFECT for a weeknight meal, or for busy moms, or for people who like to sit at home all day and smell dinner cooking. In fact, you probably have all the ingredients in your pantry right now, unless you don't like beer....in which case, I don't think we can be friends anymore.
Beer-Cooked Pot Roast2-3 lb. chuck roast (or your favorite pot roast type-beef)
Salt & pepper
2 envelopes Italian dressing
mix1 envelope onion (I used onion and mushroom) dressing or soup mix
1 T. garlic powder
2 bottles light beerLight
Season beef with salt and pepper. Throw it in the crockpot. Pour in the Italian dressing seasonings, followed by the onion soup mix. Top that with the garlic powder. Pour in the beer (resist the urge to take a swig if you're leaving for work soon). Cook on low for 8-10 hours.That's it. No, really. That's it.Notes:
I have a large crockpot, which comes in super for big parties and dinners, but not so for dinner for two. Because of this, I usually top the meal with a piece of foil to fake out the roast. It doesn't work perfectly, but it's saved many a crockpot meal in the Frazzoo house.
This comes out amazingly tender and perfect. It's almost unreal.
Some reviewers said they used a dark beer and then made gravy and the gravy was bitter. I stuck with light beer because that's what we had on hand, but a nice Guiness would be great here.
We gobbled this up. It's perfect for busy nights and busy people. Life is good.
Hatsm off to Angie over at Adventures in Home Cooking.....this is a winner .
Her actual blog is :
Check it out..she's great.
Have a great day.

Oh , Today Is Not The Day For This


Bast knows that I have a quick temper in the best of times.
I cannot help it , alter it or amend it and at my age I see no reason to even consider trying.
The upside is that I get over it as quickly as it erupts and I move on , calm and able to deal with whatever the F has just pissed me off.
It is what it is .
Bast spare me from another day of the passive aggressive gossip girl roaming packs of witless wonders who think that they are immune to everything else that the rest of us are obliged to agree to , accept or generally follow along with .
Unless it's lined with gold honey,, I for one am not impressed and further more..it said orifice is indeed lined with gold....what the Fuck are you doing here...unless you feed a burning need to confirm to one and all that you can multitask...you can be both stupid AND lazy at the same time.
Aren't your parents proud ?

Xena Wants To Speak NAOW



I am Xena and I have my laser eyes of death and destruction on you.....fear me.


Ok.


I am making my Mommy batshit crazy here so I am taking over this bloggy thing tonight.


I ate.


SO far it is not rumbly tummy for me so I don't think I need to decorate the carpet yet.


I do not like going to the sticky place in the PTU.

I do not like seeing my mommy's eyes leak.

I do not like having to hear that I can't have new toysies because the green papers went to that crap they made me go through.

I know that I deserve all the attention I can get because I am after all the Princess...but not like this.


MY mommy will update and get my glamour shots and biography up there for my adoring fans soon.


I need my beauty sleep so I have to go for NAOW.


Feel free to adore me.


You know you want to .


Xeni Gabini Princess Wubbie Woo

If It's Monday ~ It's John Barrowman Time ~!


Well...it's not leukemia and it is not a tumor.
Xena....again.
She spent almost a half day at the vet's Saturday with SU,
She 's been throwing up more and had some diarrhea so off she went.
Full blood panel and x rays.
Empty tummy and bowels.....but full of gas.
JUST FART ALREADY !
We have 2 liquid Rx's that we have to give her so it's hell on earth at the Casa right now, it's just tearing me up to see what she goes through as we hold her down to shoot as much of it down the gullet as we can.
I'll keep all y'all posted.

Bruce Of The Day ~ Happy Friday ~


Yeah , that's kind of the way I feel.
Dayum , what a day/week !
Xena is losing weight again and doing the atomic puke. No blood or anything, but we suspect some food issues. She'd put on a smidgen of weight after the diabetes scare last summer but is back to the old bit of dropping it again. On a Burmese, it shows easily and she is a tiny girl anyway..think Kate Moss as a cat......with out the Heroin .
Graphic Alert for non pet/human parents who have weak gage reflexes....skip over this bit ...
Just sayin .
Part of her deal is that she inhales her food. We make sure that the others don't bother her to the point that I literally stand over Gracie to make sure that she ( Gracie) doesn't head butt the others aside to commence dah Hooverage. Xena needs a chance to eat .
And yes, we're tried moving Xena's food.
Nope..she wants to eat in "her " place.
So when she urps it up...it is whole.
Non chewed.
Now , she had done better with the wet food for a while and she loved it but over the last few months , we noticed that the shreddy bits were coming back up intact at times and then as a constant.
She no longer wants her Temptations either .
So we got the pate style.
Nirvana.
And then the urping began again..
I don 't know if its teeth ( just like her Daddy...awwww) or nerves ( just like her Mommy..awwww)
I feed her smaller portions more often when I am home and still play guard ..
I think that she is sooo hungry that she over loads her tummy...and now she has some box issues to so Daddy is taking her to the VET first thing .
Sigh.
I want my Xeni Wubbie Diddums to get mo bedder.
She is alert, plays, drinks her sparkly clean..grooms...the coat is a tad dull....has energy....
BUT DAMMIT DAUGHTER...MOMMA IS TIRED OF CLEANING UP THE URP OFF THE CARPET EVERY F'NG NIGHT....QUIT IT !
Yeah...we're worried.
I'll update as I can this weekend..
