Is everyone as excited as I am at the temperatures that we are assured by the weathermen will be coming in the next few days? Here in the Midwest we will be having our warm-up this weekend and into the next week. YIPPEE! Walking the dog in minus-double-digits wind chill is not nearly as enjoyable as in the Spring, for sure.
Since we last "spoke", Valentine's Day arrived. My honey knows what I like. Flowers are nice but chocolate is my passion!
Not sure if I shared these pictures of the grandkids with you but, if so, they are worth repeating. I think the looks on their faces are priceless! Goofy boys!
Have you ever heard of a sirloin cap roast? Also know as Coulotte and Picanha? Well, Mom & I ran into some at our local Fresh Thyme store. We didn't know what it was but thought we could give it a go. After checking internet resources, I decided that the way to go might be with my sous vide set-up. After seasoning it with a paste made from minced garlic & salt, I cooked it for about 4 hours at 133 degrees. It was WONDERFUL! Tender, juicy, delicious!
Here's a picture of someone else looking for dinner.

I'm still reading The Quality of Silence by Rosamund Lupton. It's another different kind of story by the same author of Afterwards. It's an interesting read and I'm trying to figure out the direction it is taking.
A glimpse at our weather. I really don't want to dwell on it.
Look at this face -- it's really cold, Mom, but you know I have to do "my business" out there.And on that note, I'll sign off and check out what the others have shared today on our hostess's blog. There's sure to be some fun stuff HERE.
we moved to Maryland from Fl. and our lab loved the snow except.... squatting in it was not okay! DH had to shovel a pee path for her!

Oh what we do for our pets! Lol! You know what's really funny? We also moved from FL to MD! That was in 1996. My husband had military orders. I hope you're having a good week!
DeleteWe are predicted to warm up in the next few days, too - thank goodness! I don't have a dog to walk, but I still like to get out there! Your dinner looks yummy - I have not heard of that cut of meat before. And from your previous post - those Gemtones blocks are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diann. I have been enjoying those Gemstones blocks too. You know I love my walks too. I love to hear the birds sing, look for squirrels or other critters, watch the sun rise, see my neighbors' yard decor, what changes Mother Nature has in store for the day. Everything is worth looking at and making notes. I love it and the joy Gracie gets from the walks is an added bonus.
DeleteOoh - lots of good stuff. Chocolate for Valentine's is a must! Love the goofy kids. That sous vide beef looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit! You betcha chocolate is a must!
DeleteOh yes, I am looking forward to warmer days. Fabulous Valentines' gift from your hubby and with the little sweetheart candies as well. I haven't had those in years. Aaah your grandsons are precious, Susie.Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love conversation hearts! I always, always read the messages before I consume them. They have changed over the years, for sure! Thank you for the sweet stop!
