Snow is on the ground-like a coating. Sean is hoping to miss classes-Sean just went back to classes last Tuesday! He acts like he’s in 5th grade again. : ) I think he may be worried about driving on bad roads-that I don’t blame him for one iota.
I ruined my roast last night. I took it out of the oven too soon and it was still red in the middle. I sliced it up and stuck it back in as my potatoes and parsnips were done. Why I cooked the veggies so soon is beyond me. I should have waited a hour or so. I like my roast beef when it’s really brown and almost getting a ‘fall apart’ texture to it.
I guess I was preoccupied with cleaning off my bedroom bookcase of lotions, etc and dusting it. I found a plastic shoebox of nail polish under my jewelry cabinet that was as old as the hills. I don’t know about you, but when I’m in the middle of a project, I just hate stopping it to do something else like cook.

The potatoes and veggies were good. Used the ricer (and am using the ricer-thanks to Von’s recommendation). I think I’ll make the chicken fingers that both Carole and Zoey made for their Sunday night din dins tonight.
Hope you enjoyed using your ricer! In some ways it’s a bit of a pain, but I like the texture of the potato so much more. And with a good soak and pop it into the dishwasher it’s clean again.
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve left something baking or cooking to tend to another chore and ruined the food, or at least made it less appetizing. Sigh. 😀
We had the leftover chicken fingers for dinner tonight. They were just as good reheated. I dipped mine in poppyseed dressing–yum! I still have a few left and will use them in a salad tomorrow.
I hope you enjoy yours.
I’m like you, I hate having to stop to cook when I’m busy doing some cleaning and decluttering. Hope you do try the chicken fingers, I promise they’re really good:-) I really am sorry you can’t stay on my blog for very long…there’s you and Robyn who can’t seem to stay on it, everybody else has no problems. I really don’t know why…I can’t see it being my music but then you never know! Hugs xox
