Our daughter got back from her vacation yesterday. We drove about an hour and a half to pick her up which was a much shorter journey than the 13 hours she and my sister spent in the car. Being away in the evening put out pets off their evening schedules, I decided to drink and iced tea while we were out which must have had triple the caffeine in it and I was unable to fall asleep. The puppy needed back out around 11 as I was drifting off to sleep. Then he started barking his crazy head off when I let him out. I saw a groundhog yesterday eating my cucumbers and I think the puppy may have been barking at it last night. Hes a beagle and you can always tell when he picks up a scent. To make things even more fun the cat decided to jump on and off our bed last night aggravating the puppy and our other dog. That my friends is why I have dark circles under my eyes and can not speak in complete sentences today. Its okay though as you can tell in the photo Balder is sleeping perfectly well right now.
These are the pizzas we made the other day. Once frozen the stack perfectly in a bag and fit in the freezer. Since I had ran out of mozzarella we just put the dough and all the toppings in little bags and put it all in a big bag. All I will have to do is roll our the dough once it thaws, add the toppings and bake.
We also make mini meatloaves. We freeze them. pop them our of the muffin cups. place in bag and pop out whats needed for dinner. When baking them I will flatten one like a hamburger, add the the catsup topping and put it in my hubbys lunch one day. I think meatloaf sandwiches are weird but he likes them.
I really dont have an exact meatloaf recipe. For every pound of ground meat I add an egg and 1/2 cup of bread crumbs. You can add chopped onion and green peppers if you like as well. For the topping I just mix 1/2 catsup to a few teaspoons of brown sugar and spoon on top about 10 minutes before its done. I really need to time them too. I just normally look at them and know they are finished. Oh no I am turning into my mom and granny. I remember asking my mom for a recipe when I was firt married and she said " just add this and this and that and bake" No measurements or times and I got off the phone with her and fixed something else that had exact measurements and times.
I have been using the magnesium foot lotion and the homemade eye cream for about 10 days now. I have to say I think both work very well. On nights when the animals dont all lose their minds and I dont drink caffeine I sleep great. I dont think I look any younger but my face is so soft. After reading severy recipes for an all face cream I seen that they were all mostly the same as the eye cream and started put it all over my face and neck. I used magnesium tablets on my foot cream and have since read about using flakes that dissolve and you are sort of making your own oil. I am going to try that next and maybe not have the grit left in the bed from the capsules. Did you ever get your kids a sandbox at home and then you found sand everywhere for like 5 years. Thats sort of what the magsesium is like in the capsules.
On the agenda today is to stay awake, finish getting some things in the freezer, figure out where my tomato sauce pictures are on my tablet, try to get my blog ready in the evening since I have a car appointment in the morning and write a book on tire pressure monitoring systems because I have been back to the shop three times and am becoming an expert on them.
Lots of Love
