A Yummy Rainy Day!

Crown HeaderGood afternoon!

I just wanted to quickly hop on and share a little about what is going on around here today! Because of some weather issues…rain, lots and lots of rain, my sweetie ended up switching one of his weekend days off (he is a contractor) with today, so he could get some of his work done while it was still dry out! So, I get to spend the day with him!! YEAH! I really LOVE that!! 🙂

My sweetie is in the kitchen right now, cutting a hole in our kitchen floor, to help eliminate access to an intruder…AKA a mouse! Yep! That is correct!! We have a little visitor that has been helping us eat our food, namely my dogs’ food, but I digress! Although I would never want to see any harm come to any little creature, I do not like the idea of a mouse living in our house!! (That sounded a little Dr. Suess-ey, didn’t it???) This little mouse has been spotted on numerous occasion, and has thwarted our every mouse catching idea, all while still managing to eat the traps’ food, so I am thinking that he is a very smart little bugger!! He has been around so long now, my sweetie has taken to affectionately calling him “Jerry”. I thought, at first this was funny, until I realized my sweetie was going to let Jerry live with us permanently!! Uhmmmmm…nope! So, needless to say, my sweetie is on a mission for me!! Thank you, Love!! 🙂 I will be just so happy to no longer have to share my kitchen with any guest who does not happen to be housebroken!!!

With that said, as soon as Jerry has had all of his doors of access closed to him, I am just itching to get into the kitchen and get some cooking done for this lovely rainy day!!!

My plan is to make an apple and onion pork loin roast, which I am sure is going to be DREAMY!!! I am going to use the recipe that I have found here, at Pioneer Woman, who I ABSOLUTELY ADORE!!!! Ree Drummond has my dream life, although I am sure she doesn’t know that!!! 😉

After dinner, I am wanting to have made a peach apple crisp with maple cream sauce for dessert, also from the Pioneer Woman site, and that recipe is here.

Combine all of that with snuggling up in a reading chair with a good book, a lovely cup of my favorite tea, and my two-four-legged girls, and I have gotta tell you that today looks to be a mighty perfect day!!

Here is to having a FABULOUS day! 🙂
