Cornbeef and Cabbage

When I was young I didn't care for cabbage but as I have become into adult hood. I love fried cabbage. If you have never tried cabbage fried you must try some. On New Years Day it is a tradition to have Cornbeef and Cabbage or maybe you might serve Ham and Cabbage. The one tradition I have not indulged in is black eye peas. I have seem them in every grocery store I have visited. I looked up on Google about the luck of foods. Well black eye peas gives good fortune and cabbage gives money. So there you have it. Go and get your share of the New Year Fortune.

Good luck and Happy New Year to all our farm families and friends for 2011

Cleaning My Studio

The worst part about my studio is everything get put into that room. I pick-up around the house and it goes in my room where I paint. I know I have way too much stuff books , paints, brushes you name it and I probably have one in that room. I was going to take a picture but I didn't want to embarrass myself.

I even have a tread mill a nice one, had it several years walked a lot of miles on the thing. It is going to be a new year and it has to get back to work with me on its back I will take a picture of the room when I get done.

My sister left at noon for home which is Palo Alto, California. Talked to her a while ago and she was in Vegas on a lay over. Hope she get home soon she had been here 2 weeks and I know she was ready to go back. I think the weather is better there.
Maybe I will clean my room tomorrow I am going to watch TV with my hubby.
Take care until tomorrow

Beautiful Day

I always enjoy the sunshine even if the temperature is freezing cold. Makes a person feel alive.
I don't know how they live in darkness like Alaska. Just glad I live in Indiana.
Need to get another cup of coffee get this day moving on. The shop will be open today and have called all the customers who need to pick up special orders and now I can paint or work on my gnomes from earlier post. Want to expand my collection of the little fellows.
A lot of things going on I am sure we are all covered up with more than we can get done.
Have a great day until tomorrow

Hunk of Meat Mondays

Leah over at www.beyerbeware.blogspot.com started a linky for hunk of meat Monday We like to start our week so we don't have to cook every day and make enough for a couple of days meals. This will take care of that there is always so much to do these days and I don't have small children.
I have used this Black beans and rice as it goes along way. I use 2 pounds of hamburger and 1 pound of smoked sausage fry up well, drain grease off, add mix from box and 2 3/4 cup water and in 25 minutes you have dinner add a vegetable, some bread maybe garlic bread and you are ready to eat.

Lana enjoy your hunk of meat, you will have to buy a bigger pot. Sure looked good
Until tomorrow

I know it is a spoon

When we cut a persimmon seed in the fall I didn't know what a story would follow. We have a lot of snow and the old story is that if it is spoon the snow will follow. I love snow but I had my husband take me to my meeting today because I didn't want to take a chance of wrecking my car. Didn't have far to go just to town. I like living in a small town people are friendly and you feel safe in a small town
Tonight I am going to our County Beef meeting it is our Christmas dinner. I thought I would take my camera maybe I could get some pictures
Enough for now take care
