Catching you up...

I lost both internet and VIOP phone yesterday around 9:00 AM and both are still down (thank God the cable still worked)! So, here's what's been going on...

Did all the housecleaning after a hearty breakfast of two eggs over-easy, fried Spam and toast. I know, I know, Spam has its detractors, but I am not one of them! Deep cleaned the bathroom this week.

Went outside around noon and raked the side lawn, so the whole front of the house is now presentable. I will need to throw out some grass seed when the ground warms up a bit. I have a lot of little bare spots where the squirrels hid, then dug up, the black walnuts last fall.

Put the roast on at 2:00 PM. Here's how I did it: Put in a cup of beef broth, then a rack. Put down a layer of four small onions, cut in half, four russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks, and the three turnips, peeled and chunked. Put the roast on top of that layer. Put three ears of sweet corn, cut in half, next to the roast. Then put a splash of Worchester sauce on the roast, some onion rings and four good sized Portobello mushrooms, cleaned and cut in half, on top the roast.

Covered the roasting pan with tin foil and baked it at 375 degrees F. for two hours. Excellent Sunday dinner!!! Took a picture and will post it if my stupid internet connection ever comes back!

Tried to watch the Nascar race, but it was rained out. Couldn't use the internet or phone (pain in the butt!) So watched cooking shows, then "Extreme Makeover" then went to bed...
