If you have never tried a Hormel Pork Roast... You don't know what your missing. Found in the same area as traditional pork loins....this chubby little piece of meat is fabulous. The best part....the price... I usually can get one for under $5.00 Publix will on occasion carry them I can always count on....Yes...I'm going to admit this....Walmart.... Below are two of my favorite recipes to make with this fork tender... perfect for two people... "I'm hoping it's really from a pig" piece of meat... After all Hormel are the people that also make corned beef hash in a can... And the Boss' favorite... Dinty Moore Beef Stew... Trust me these recipes will not disappoint... perfect size for two with some leftovers... Makes about three portions.. start with one of these..... Or one of these... My cooking vessel of choice... I like to call this de-constructed Shish-Kabobs.... I love the flavors of a Shish-...

It's been 2 1/2 years since we moved into the House...and our Master BR has been missing  something....that extra "touch" If any of you have a husband like the Boss you will know that asking them to hang something for you turns into a big production... I'm talking....levels...banging on the wall to find the studs... hooks that have special dry wall screws... too much for me to just stand by and watch... Then the tape measure comes out because he feels everything needs to be lined up... do you know how hard that is to do....I mean really... It can be done but who has the time... And then you have the magazine suggestions that  tell you to lay out your "stuff" on the floor before hanging... Make a diagram on a big piece of paper to see what is going to go where.... Forgot that...all I use is my eye.... a hammer and a plain old nail.... I happen to have unusually high ceilings and large furniture and the space behind the bed just didn't look right.......

Asked recently what has inspired my Decorating Style...I simply answered.... "take me on a Trip".... and let me bring home a boat load of Souvenirs.... I am the Queen of Souvenirs..,,, We have been traveling the world for 43 years... Which leads to my "brief" (yeah right) story about the Title to this Post.... 43 years ago me and the Boss were Airline Employees working for Mohawk Airlines.... Don't ask.... a small prop plane carrier out of Upstate NY... we got many a free pass on larger carriers due to the fact that Mohawk didn't compete with anyone... I was 20 years old...the Boss 21 when we took our first trip to Italy.... Time for the trip to be over and to fly back home TWA....overbooked the flight leaving us stuck in Rome.... If you have ever tried to board a European Flight it's like a free for all... We got bumped.....But being airline "people" The TWA employee made us an offer no one would refuse.... We could catch a flight going in ...
