Cheese Fest

This weekend was the Blair Cheese Fest up in Blair,WI. Blair is the place where my in laws have hunting land. James and I rode up there together on Saturday morning. I had been to Cheese Fest a many years ago, and well it hasn't changed a bit! The town, the people..nothing. Not surprised. They have a grocery store called the"Grocery Store" now.(but rumor has it that it is closing) For being a cheese fest, there sure is not a lot of cheese. OK, well I did have a cheeseburger and we shared some cheese curds- but really that is about the extent of the cheese to be found! Other then that it is just another excuse(like the people up there need another excuse) to drink and get drunk! Not one of us up there didn't do just that. I was proud, stayed out and had a good time til bar close. I can surprise people(especially my husband) sometimes!! All and all it was a good time. Missed my kiddos and was happy to see them Sunday when I (yes only me) got home. James is probably at this very moment climbing down his tree stand to start the 2 hour 45 min ride home! Like me he is tired! (At least I got to ride in the back seat and rest my eyes all the way home!)

So, here starts the long fall trek for me of being a deer hunters widow. From last weekend(opening of bow) up until the week after Thanksgiving, every weekend for him - most likely- will be spend on the never ending quest for that bigger buck.

Oh, and yes...thanks again to my Mom for watching the girls! I really appreciate it and I know James does too.

Baby Back Ribs - the super easy way!

Image
This turned out to be a super easy way to have delicious baby back ribs during the week.  Normally, I would never attempt anything like this during the week because it would usually be a meal that would require that I  drag out the grill to do.  In this cold - getting really old, Wisconsin winter, I do not want to deal with the grill.  That's James' deal, not mine and if we waited till he got home we wouldn't be eating til 9pm!  (that's bedtime, silly!) Carol's Baby Back Ribs  1 rack of baby back ribs, cut into 3-4 rib sections. Salt/Pepper/Paprika BBQ Sauce In your slow cooker (oh, yes...I did forget to mention it uses the trusty SC) spray the sides down with cooking spray.  Place the ribs in the SC and cook on Low 8-10 hours  (high for 5-6).  After the allowed time to cook, take out ribs and place in pan.  Slather with your favorite BBQ sauce and cook in 350 oven for 30 minutes.   Yup! Its that easy...

Favorite things

2 of my recent additions to my favorite things.  First I will tell you about this product I came to know and actually is perfect for the dry skin our winters cause us to have.   SheaMoisture brand products This stuff in particular is what I am using now.  I use it daily as a facial moisturizer. It is sooo thick I store it upside down and have to take the cap off to squeeze any of it out.  It absorbs quickly and it has oats, aloe and Vitamin E in it to calm skin.  It has a pleasant smell...not too perfumey.  I also have a nice Olive and Green Tea body wash that I am using too. I don't think its for African skin only....I was wondering at first and I do think the company does make a lot of products for African skin and hair....though after looking for pictures online to post of this I am beginning to think I am the only white girl using this product!   The website it pretty nice. www.sheamoisture.com  I will need to check...

Stitch Fix. I tried it.

Image
Well I did it, finally.  I ordered my first Stitch Fix.  I have to say I am a bit disappointed and I was so excited and hopeful.  I did end up with a pair of jeans that I surprisingly like.  Length is long like I like and they are a dark wash.  Nice to have another pair to wear. (I have like 10 pairs, I wear one.)   I did tell MY STYLIST that I do not like short pants.  Too short and I will not wear.  She did take that into consideration and I was happy about that!   What I learned - I need to specify NO BLOUSES.  I do not wear them.  Becky told me they (Stitch Fix) likes blouses.  I do not.  Also, while the dress they sent me when I first looked at it was like UGH, but I tried it on and it was actually ok. But, I am not in the market for a dress right now. So it would hang in the closet. Just a note on the pictures.  I am sick with a nasty cold and really don't have...
