Weekend Recap: The Indians Game that Never Was Edition

Perhaps you weekend was crazy like mine, or maybe it was more relaxed and low key. Either way, I'm thankful for weekends. Let's start at Friday shall we?

Friday my dog Cashew was supposed to get a bath. Right as my mom and I were getting ready to leave, my dad walks in with paper towels wrapped around his finger. He was trimming bushes and sliced his finger with the trimmer. Thankfully, it is just a really bad gash that probably should have had a stitch, but is healing slowly. So I bandage him up, and we are running late to the groomers. I called and told them that we were on the way, and find out that they couldn't take us. So we rescheduled. That should have been an indication of the weekend ahead.

This was prior to the madness!
Saturday I had bought tickets to go to the Cleveland Indians game. My parents always do nice things for me, so I wanted to repay them a little bit. The day was gorgeous! It was sunny, a nice breeze, and we hit absolutely no traffic until we got off of 77. We got off the exit at 6:09. Then the traffic hit. Oh, what's that heavy smoke from? At 6:30 we turned to go to our normal parking area, except we couldn't. That smoke? From a building fire across the street from the ballpark, and next to our parking spot! We drove around the city to look a parking spot. Except it took us 2 and a half hours to get back around to the front of the stadium. Guys and gals, it was pure madness, and awful. There was absolutely no place to park. AT ALL. So unfortunately, we decided to go home. I didn't see the game, no fireworks, and I didn't get my bobblehead. I was upset, but I guess the Lord didn't want us at the game for some reason. So it was 9:30 at night, and we picked up a pizza from one of our favorites, Wedgewood Pizza. We wanted to eat it there, but the dining room closed at 9:00. We got behind a slowpoke driver for a good 30 minutes. Then, we almost hit a deer on a road where we never thought a deer would be. By the time we got home, it was 10:30. I'm so glad that pizza was good. If I wasn't trying to get my girlish figure in check, I would have ate 4 pieces of that pizza. Ya'll, we had been in the car for 6 hours! SIX HOURS! That's halfway to Myrtle Beach, and I was going to CLEVELAND for crying out loud! I was thankful for my bed that night.

Addition: The Indians are allowing us to exchange our tickets for a new game! Thank you Jesus!

Sunday, I went to church. I felt refreshed and revived after coming out of the sermon. I wanted to update my workout playlist, so I search for some songs on iTunes. And more than half of my music was missing!! What?! Thankfully, I had all of the music on my computer. A quick Google search was all I needed to learn how to import it to my library. Then I had to get all the album artwork. So that was an hour of my time that was wasted dealing with that nonsense.

I am hoping for a much better week!

So, how was your weekend? Hopefully better than mine was! Leave me a comment, I'd love to hear about it!

Cooking for a Crowd: Spaghetti Sauce

My family likes to save money when we have parties. One way to do so is to cook everything ourselves, instead of hiring a caterer. Today, I wanted to give you a recipe for spaghetti sauce that will feed a crowd. This recipe is best made in an 18 quart roast pan. We bought most of our sauces and tomato paste at Costco. Ingredients: 2 onions 3 cans diced tomatoes 2 #10 cans of tomato sauce 1 #10 can on spaghetti sauce 1 heaping tsp of garlic minced 2 (28 oz) cans of crushed tomatoes 4 (6 oz) cans of tomato paste 1 tsp sugar Onion and garlic salt, italian seasoning, parsley, oregano to taste 1 pound of each: ground meat, hot and sweet sausage Look at the deliciousness!  In a skillet brown your meat and sausage in a little oil. Once browned place off to the side. Combine your onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, and crushed tomatoes. *Sweat your onions down first, then add the garlic. Then your tomatoes.* Open your tomato sauces and spaghetti sauces (we li

It's Been Awhile...

 Hi! Do you remember me and this little blog? I've been thinking about starting this blog back up again, and I am just going to jump in with both feet and go for it! In the past what, 4 years since the last post, I have learned a lot, and have a lot to share! So if you'll bear with me, I'd love to share some fun tips and tricks and recipes with you here on this little space on the internet.  I will give you a little reintroduction of myself.  I'm Mandii. I'm a small town girl full of random information. Sports facts, check. Fashion tips, oh yeah, I've got those a plenty! Recipes? You're speaking my language. I love all things faith, family, fashion, sports, and food related. Which is exactly what you will find on this space. I love to travel even though I don't do it nearly enough.  I don't know if I am going to commit to a full 5 days on here yet. I'll play it by ear, and if you'll stick with me, I think we can do some great things here!  I&

New Schedule!

 I think to start off, I am going to be blogging on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday's. I think that is a good schedule to start with that won't be overwhelming, and you readers won't get bored.  So in my time off in the blog world, I worked at a clothing boutique and absolutely fell in love with it! I found that it is something that I am really passionate about. I have learned so many tips and tricks while working there that I can't wait to share with you! I mean we also have lived through a worldwide pandemic. Add that to the list of things you never thought you would type! Haha! I have continued to cook and bake, take short little trips here and there. I truly do lead a very boring life. Haha!  If there are any topics you'd like me to cover, just let me know and I will try to see if I can cover them!  Don't forget you can follow the Mandii's Muse Facebook page here !
