What I've Been Up To: Part 2

If you were wondering where I've been, you can find part 1 of my September post here! Like I said before, I find it hard to believe that today is October 1. I blinked and September was gone.

One night after work, my Bubba (grandma) made stir-fry. She hasn't made it in years, and my parents always used to rave about how good hers was "back in the day." So I finally got to try it, and it was so good! We had salad and bread to go with our meal, but I only took a picture of the stir-fry. She can definitely make that again!

This past month we also continued our bad luck at Cleveland Indians games. Do you remember this game where we had tickets to go and couldn't find a parking spot because of a fire? We got our "redemption" tickets for Sept. 12. Whoo! The day came and it was gray and cloudy. It rained the entire drive to Cleveland. It rained through the start time. Yes folks, we were in a rain delay. My mom said at 9:30 that if they didn't call the game by 9:40 we were going to head home. at 9:39 they postponed the game. We walked outside, and it had stopped raining. They entertained the people that were waiting by playing movie clips, and songs that had to do with rain. You have to love a ballpark that plays Singing in the Rain while you wait! To make a long story short, I think I'm bad luck.




Like my photo skills?! 

This past month I've also been spotting some eagles. While you can't actually make out the fact they are eagles in the picture...trust me. There was an eagle, and there happened to be two. These birds amaze me every single time I see them, and I am proud that this bird is a symbol of our country.

That back half of the month was spent dog-sitting my aunt and uncle's dog. Lacy is my Cashew's sister, and they had a great time visiting each other. My aunt and uncle missed her terribly, so I sent them this picture to remind them that she loved them even though they were having a blast in Aruba.

That just about sums up my September. I have posts already planned to get this blog back on track. I've missed you readers!!

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.

Vegetable Lasagna Recipe

I made this lasagna recipe, and I think my grandma declared it the best thing she's ever eaten. She kept going back to the dish, and cutting off a small slice. Each time she would say, "This is so good!" So, if only she liked it, my day was made. However, every member of my family loved this dish, and I know you will too! It is a perfect way to use up Summer vegetables, and enjoy a delicious meal! My comments are in italics!
