Friday Night Crafting

So I have to say I'm thankful for the end of the week it has been a bit trying I'm so keen to get back to routine but my head is saying its not ready.

Anyhow  orders are up to date and gone DT boxes are winging their way to the designers over the weekend and the house has returned to its normal status quo with May having left.

So tonight I am crafting and DVD watching - I have - Elizabeth, Cheating Fate and Atonement

The girls have informed me they are having a sleepover complete with sleeping bags marshmallows their little DVDS, (portable DVD screens) One dolly and two teddies - Suits me fine all I have to do is get the marshmallows (which I did!) and help them decide which room they want the sleepover in - this is one good thing about twins!

I have this bubbling in the crockpot... ( this is at 3 hrs to go stage)

I saw this on Jennifer Stewart's blog the other day and thought thats what I haven't done in ages - is a roast AND veges in the crockpot - I tend to do lamb and chicken alot and only occasionally throw the veges in too- when I first did it I thought no way cant work but it does and its yum. So this will be a nice change. Smells divine.

You should really go read her recipe she does it way better than me but for what its worth here is my version

Crock Pot Roast and Vegetables

1 Beef roast
2 tablespoons crushed garlic
1 onion, diced
1 bay leaf
Worcestershire sauce
3 stalks celery chopped
Red wine
1 can cream of mushroom (campbells)
½ can water

Throw it all in the crockpot put everything down the bottom and mix it around a bit - then add the meat on top -

and with 3 hrs before we want to eat I also put in  small potatoes  pumpkin and carrots- they fit around the edges

And on the stove top I do green beans. The girls love them - not - but I still do them.

and I also have this rice and apple pudding in the oven

Now to find the top of my desk and I am all set.

Enjoy your night
