It's raining, it's pouring, Slade will soon be snoring...

And then I can get some serious housework done! He's having a ball tearing through the house carrying the broom, trying to sweep the carpet. He loves to sweep! I don't mind either, cuz regardless of where I am, I can keep an eye on the broom handle bobbing up and down, occasionally sweeping stuff off the counters.
Another weekend, and again my freezer is stuffed with ribs. Even if it rains, we'll be up at the barracks selling more plates. The guys keep talking about it, so we must've been a hit! That's flattering, to say in the least.
We haven't had any frozen meals pre-ordered, although one guy has called James daily to pay for a meal and stop over at the house with James on their lunch breaks. He could just buy the meals and heat them up in his barrack room, but whatever works.

Ooh, great, easy recipe to try...I'm smelling the product of it right now...Slow Cooker French Dips. Basically, take 4lbs of top round, cut off the excess fat, and put it in your crockpot with (1) can of condensed French Onion soup, (1) can of beef broth (I get low sodium) and (1) can of beer, set to cook for about 7 hours. Right before you're going to serve, slice your rolls or French loaf, butter each side & broil, then sandwich the meat & serve with the broth for dipping.
