Back to work

It was my first day back at work after the two week winter break. Most of the teachers and staff seemed notably more relaxed and smiling than before Christmas, and the kids were relatively quiet and well behaved, too. Some time off seems to have done everybody some good!

Last night I seared two pounds of stew beef meat and started simmering it in the crockpot with beef stock, crushed tomatoes, sautéed garlic and onions, and two bay leaves. It went into the refrigerator overnight, and then I put it back on low heat before I left for work this morning. As soon as I got home I tasted it for salt and pepper (the meat was falling apart in the broth) and then added two bags of frozen soup vegetables and a generous splash of red wine. Now it's simmering on low heat, still, and will soon be ready. I'm looking forward to having soup for the next few nights! It will make my first few days back at work easier if I can come home to a tasty dinner that's already made.

Have a good week, everybody.

  2. The soup looks good! Glad your first day back was good. Mine was good too. I think everyone needed a two week break.

  4. You call that soup? I would have that served on either rice or a baked potato. It looks more like a casserole to me. Sounds delicious.

  5. Soups, curries, stews - you name it, I like it! They don't necessarily have to have meat in them, I like the vegetables only variations just as much, and this is definitely the time of year to make and eat them.
    You too have a good first week back, dear Jennifer!
    It is my first day back at work today - yesterday was a holiday in my part of Germany. The working year 2020 is about to begin for me...

    1. Good luck returning to work! I like winter food like soups and stews a lot, too...especially when we have colder-than-normal temperatures.

  6. Having the evening meal taken care of always seems like a huge hurdle out of the way! Crock pots make me nervous, though. I have an irrational fear that they'll burst into flame when I'm not home, LOL!

    1. Gregg has some of those same reservations about the crock pot! I think he tries not to think about it, though.

  7. Barlow Stew sounds great. I would eat it with some fresh crusty buttered bread which I could also use to mop up the bowl.

    1. Fresh crusty bread would be great! I ate mine last night with Saltine crackers. Gregg had a pimento cheese sandwich grilled in butter. :)

  8. I too thought your stew a lovely sight.

  9. That stew looks great! My stomach is growling. I had all my teeth out so my mouth is healing and I'm on a liquid diet so everything looks so good to me :)

  25. I being hearing about this blank ATM card for a while and i never really paid any interest to it because of my doubts. Until one day i discovered a hacking guy called RICK HACKER WORLD , he is really good at what he is doing. Back to the point, I inquired about The Blank ATM Card. If it works or even Exist. They told me Yes and that its a card programmed for random money withdraws without being noticed and can also be used for free online purchases. This was shocking and i still had my doubts. Then i gave it a try and asked for the card and agreed to their terms and conditions. Hoping and praying it was not fake. One week later i received my card and tried with the closest ATM machine close to me, It worked like magic. I was able to withdraw up to 5,000 Euro. This was unbelievable. So far i order a ATM Card of $ 100,000 Euro without any stress of being caught. I don't know why i am posting this here, i just felt this might help those of us in need of financial stability. blank ATM has really change my life. If you want to contact them, Here is the email address: rickatmcardoffer@gmail.com or Whatsapp: +2348061639317

Mr Frank Carlos of Email: atmgeniuslinks@gmail.com  is giving out these cards to support people in any kind of financial problem. I must be sincere to you, when i saw the advert, I believed it to be illegal and a hoax but when I contacted Mr Frank Carlos, he confirmed to me that although it is illegal, nobody gets caught while using these cards because they have been programmed to disable every communication once inserted into any Automated Teller Machine(ATM).

  28. I want to share my testimony on how i got the blank ATM card. I was so wrecked that my company fired me simply because i did not obliged to their terms, so they hacked into my system and phone and makes it so difficult to get any other job, i did all i could but things kept getting worse by the day that i couldn’t afford my 3 kids fees and pay my bills. I owe so many people trying to borrow money to survive because my old company couldn’t allow me get another job and they did all they could to destroy my life just for declining to be among their evil deeds. haven’t given up i kept searching for job online when i came across the testimony of a lady called Judith regarding how she got the blank ATM card. Due to my present state, i had to get in touch with Hacker called OSCAR WHITE of oscarwhitehackersworld@gmail.com and he told me the procedures and along with the terms which i agreed to abide and i was told that the Blank card will be deliver to me without any further delay and i hold on to his words and to my greatest surprise, i received an ATM card worth $4.5 million USD , All Thanks to OSCAR WHITE , if you are facing any financial problem contact him asap email address is oscarwhitehackersworld@gmail.com or whats-app +1(323)-362-2310
