Thumper AKA fuzzy butt!

[PaGal]

It wouldn't be so bad if the girls were just being bad with the shoes. That was just one example of the past few days. They just have stopped thinking altogether! Ha.

I think I will get the gnome when I go shopping next as I didn't go back today. I needed potatoes for a roast but turns out I had enough.

A lady may be coming tomorrow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and that she will be a good momma to the kitten if she gets one.

That was kinda graphic. I read it this morning while drinking my coffee and it woke me up a little but not enough to know what to reply to that. Ha!

I am so tired of being hot. I want to shower since I cut grass and the hot wind was really blowing but I don't want to take it early because if I step outside for a moment I'll sweat. It's so hot and humid. It's like a sauna out there!

I cooked a roast with carrots from our garden last year and potatoes. It was delicious and fall apart in your mouth tender. Hubby hasn't cooked a roast since he had one I cooked years ago. His was good but not like this. I also will not let him know my recipe that is my own I made up. It's the family joke. I told him that way if he would ever divorce me I at least will know he will have to live the rest of his life missing my roast. I did give it to my adult daughter since she's in Pa. and I can't cook one for her plus if something would happen to me then she can pass the recipe on to hubby.

I went in the bun room today and was playing chase with Thumper for a while. He got tired and went over to the lil' bun cage and smooshed his face in and the brown bun groomed him.

I also did laundry, cleaned the house, gave buns food and water, cleaned 3 kitty litter boxes, made 8 packs of smokes. I'm tired.

I found this meme and I thought Kmaben might like it but I don't feel right just posting it on her blog so I'll post it here.

That meme is funny! haha.

The last like 2 roasts I've cooked haven't been super tender. Like tender enough, but not fantastic tender. haha. I love when I cook something REALLY well, it sounds like you have roasts down to a T.
I made pizzas tonight for dinner and they weren't great. I was a little off my cooking game tonight. LOL Oh well, everyone got fed. hahaha.

Roasts are my specialty. They always come out well so it is one thing I will cook if we are having company because then I don't have to worry the food isn't top notch. The cut of meat is important for a tender roast. I always get a bottom round roast or rump roast. If you poke them at the store get the softest feeling one. They have enough fat to keep the meat moist and tender but not so much that you have to cut out chunks of fat or are getting as much fat as meat for the price. they do have fat across the bottom so I always put it in with that side down so if anything sticks it's the fat and the meat is not wasted. I also make boullion I put in with it. I use four cups of water and 12 boullion cubes. I always cook it in the crock pot but years ago I did cook it in a roasting pan in the oven. In the oven you have to cook the roast a while and then add the carrots and potatoes. With the crock pot I just put everything in there at the start and cook it from about 10 till 5 or 6. That's my cooking lesson for the day and now I can't wait to have a roast sandwich for lunch.

I found a page on facebook with some funny bun memes. Just wish they had more.

Haha! I am so stealing that picture and using it in my Combat Lifesaver slides!
I make a mean pot roast but it wasnt until I discovered the crockpot that I could actually make one turn out ok. I'm very proud of it as it's the only thing I can cook. I hate to cook. With an absolute passion. Love to bake and decorate and will spend hours doing it but cook? That's what husbands and papa johns are for!

Hope kitties find a good home. I raised a lot of kittens working at the vet clinic and you always hope they go to someone special. We had a stray kitten we found and nursed back to health. She snuck out the door one day and was found by a mom and her five year old. As fate would have it the little boy wouldnt part with the kitten and she slept in his bed from night one. Not sure where I was going with that but thought it was a neat kitten related story. I guess everything has it's place

Love the photo.

You`re making me so hungry with all this talk of roasts. I miss a good roast, we used to have one every Sunday with Yorkshire puddings until I left home and I do miss it. Hardly ever bother cooking a roast just for me so only usually do one around Christmas and the New Year. I do love really tender meat and veggies cooked with it. Now I´ll have to go raid the fridge lol.

Kmaben...so glad you like the pic. I thought of you as soon as I saw it and hoped it would be enjoyed. I'm kinda burnt out on cooking right now. I know I would enjoy it so much more if it didn't always feel like a race to get dinner cooked and on the table. The roast doesn't take long to prepare and the crock pot does the cooking so it's easy. One other item to have that's a wonder is a rice cooker if you like rice or rice dishes. It makes perfect rice every time and you can go on with other things while it cooks.

I do think some animals are just meant to be with some people and it works out that way. How I don't necessarily know but I believe it does. I would keep them all if I could but five people, five cats, a dog and three buns is just a bit much for us. I'll hate to see them go though as I love them all.

Chrisdoc...I have never had any English cooking but there are several dishes I would really like to try.

 

[Chrisdoc]

That is so funny as everyone says the English can´t cook but at my house, we always had great meals and one of my Spanish friends loves typically English food. I´m here Denise if you need any tips or recipes.

I actually love baking but it´s just too hot in the summer so I have a bit of a rest. can´t wait until October comes and I can get back to making cakes and buns and other desserts.

 

[PaGal]

I have heard as well that the English can't cook but some of the food I have heard of sounds good. Well if you can think of anything easy and almost fool proof to start with I could give it a try.

Our baking slows down in the summer as well but then we have ice cream and such for desert instead. We use our toaster oven for cooking a lot especially in the summer but we don't bake in it.

 

[Chrisdoc]

Will have a think and send you something. Yes, it´s ice cream for dessert here in the summer. Bought some fresh strawberries and raspberries so will be having them with Cornish ice cream today...yummy.

 

[PaGal]

Chris...I have no idea what Cornish ice cream is. Ha!

Not much new going on. Went to a drag race on Sunday. I don't exactly know how everyone we work with did as they ran the different classes funny and later it got rained out. The oldest girl got through all the races for her class and one. Because of the rain out the one twin one first as she was the only one in her class to not have a single loss as the races are double elimination. For the racers that had one loss they decided to go by a coin toss. The other twin lost the coin toss to the girls one friend who races. The twin was ok with that and the friend. was ecstatic because she hasn't gotten a trophy till now as she's still learning to shift and all. Hubby didn't do too well as his new clutch he just got done putting on that morning was not hooking up. We got a ton of rain at the end so my thought was they should have had the racers mud wrestle to determine the race winners instead of a coin toss.

We took some left over chicken with us to feed the cat with the missing eye. The girls named her Cheez Its since that was the thing they first fed her. I know, not good kitty food but that's all we had and she so looked like she could use it. We also got to see the chickens again

The buns are all doing well. Although, Thumper has taken to occasionally peeing next to the buns cage. It's always the same spot. I have seen a few times Thumper squish his face through the bars and the brown bun grooms his face. The cardboard barrier is still up so he can only get his face through and only when standing on his back legs.

Hubby came out of our room yesterday and said to me "you are not going to be happy with your son!".
My mind went to my human son, Hubby meant Thumper because he left so many poos outside the buns cage marking.

I almost forgot a pic I thought Morgan might like...

 

[whitelop]

Hahaha. That is a cute picture! Its really adorable to see chicks stick out from under mom like that!

Well, its good that the girls did well and the one wasn't upset because her friend won.

Thumper will probably poop mark until you get him fixed. Thats the unfortunate thing, but at least its mostly poop!

 

[PaGal]

The girls are good sports. The last race they offered to share their $ winnings with the same girl.

He used to mark the room with his poops a lot and then as he got older he stopped. I am hoping that maybe he'll calm that down again after some time has passed. I have to get Isabelle spayed before anyone else.

He used to mark a lot but then stopped as he got older so I'm hoping after some time he might stop again but in either case I have to get Isabelle spayed first and was hoping to find homes for the kittens before that so they won't pester her while she's healing.

 

[PaGal]

Chillin out after a hard nights work!

 

[PaGal]

So cute...

 

[PaGal]

For some reason butterflies are congregating in two spots in our yard...

 

[whitelop]

I think they're the Super Generation of butterflies, that are making their way back from Canada to South America. Its that time of year for them, I think.
They're really pretty though! The butterflies like my butterfly bushes and my chicken coop. The chicken coop is surrounded by milk weed and they like milkweed plus, they attracted to things that stink! haha.

Those little buns are adorable! And Thumper, as always is so handsome.

I totally understand getting Isabelle fixed first.

 

[Chrisdoc]

Those butterflies are such a lovely colour, we don´t see many over here, don´t know why but I miss them, there were so many in England when I lived there.

Lovely pics, love them all.
