The return. Or, when I actually had an hour to do this again.

So, I recently realized that it's been about a year, give or take 10 days, since I last did this bloggy thing.

Here, in a slew of pictures, is why. Imagine the song, "Our House" By Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, playing while you view them. Or maybe imagine the March from Raiders. 
That's a little more epic.

So, I've been a little busy with other things. Mainly, one other thing. Or, as we like to call her Miss Cora Gruntkins Gruntington. OK, Gruntkins isn't her real name. 
She just grunts a lot. 

We also decided to buy a house in June too, yeah. a month before the baby was due we were moving.  Might as well stack everything all up together, right?
Anyways. 

I could have been updating this, if, you know, I had one of these:
Alas, I am not the raggedy Doctor, nor am I a companion..*sigh*

Most recently, I have been exploring the glories of my slowcooker. Do you think, if I had a TARDIS, I could use my slowcooker and it wouldn't be slow? And all the food would turn out wibbly wobbly?
I have learned from my slowcooker that it is almost impossible to F* it up. 
Seriously, you can put everything that is left from the CoOp basket into it, add some spices, and quinoa and TA DA, you have an edible dinner.  
Well, mostly. 
Don't throw the fruit in. 
You know, unless you like your chicken curry with umm... a pear in there.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.



This is my most recent concoction:

4-6 chicken or turkey bratwurst, uncooked
a cinnamon stick
4 cups of apple cider
.5 cup of apple cider vinegar
2 cups cubed butternut squash 1 inch cubes
1 cup cubed, peeled rutabega same size
2 cups cubish cut carrots same size too
1.5 cups of quinoa (dry uncooked)
1 cup of dried cranberries
salt, pepper and sage and thyme to taste
Throw it all into the slowcooker in the order give above and let it rock out for 5-6 hours at low until the brats are cooked through.

It's kinda like Thanksgiving in a slowcooker.

I would have included pictures of it... but.. we ate it.
Ah, it sounds like my hour of bloggy time is up. 

I hear grunting.
