Penzeys Spices

One of my favorite places to easily spend my time is Penzey's.  If you have never been there, you should go.  Quality spices, herbs, and seasonings.  One of the things that I really like about the store is that every single thing that is sold there has a jar filled with the product for you to smell.(I guess you could sample it but that would just be gross!!!)  I purchased something called Sate today, because I thought it smelled good(now I just have to find a recipe for it!) I also purchased their Florida Lemon Pepper.  I have had that before and it is great on fish!  Since James doesnt read my blog, and I know none of you will tell him....I bought him a Christmas gift from there today.  I bought the Taco Gift Pack....Original, Bold, Chicken and Rojo Seasonings.  Really it is a gift for the both of us, but I can say it is for him!!! 

I wouldnt mind getting a gift certificate for Penzeys for Christmas, or a subscription to their magazine.  I actually always enjoy getting the free catalog because it has a bunch of recipes in it as well.  And if you are lucky, I guess...which I have not been, I believe you are supposed to get a coupon in the catalog for a free product listed on the coupon...usually a product that is showcased thru out the recipes in the catalog!  I think my mailman (or someone in the postal service) takes mine!


Check it out if you have the time.  Great place to get gifts.  There are a few in the area...one on Bluemound Rd and the other over by 124th St.

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 a lot of energy to put much into this, plus its been a llllloooooooonnnggggg time since I last blog

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!  You could put a rub on the ribs of your liking

Hit the road James, Jenny, Jadyn and Jenna!

Well, if all went as planned we should be on the road by now.  I planned on going into work on Friday at 4 AM, and not take a lunch so I can be out and on my way home by Noon.  Hopefully on the road by 1:30 pm.   We are totally winging this first day/nights drive.  We were initially going to stop 1/2 way through Minnesota, but are plans have changed and we are going to see how its going and try to get to Souix Falls, SD instead.  Push it hard one day, take it easier the next days drive....   We are all super excited and hopefully I can come home with some awesome pictures and great memories!
