THE WAY IT SHOULD BE - NO MUSS NO FUSS - ON THE GRILL - ELSBETH SERIES - DAD OF THE YEAR - JIBBER JABBER

 What to do on a hot summer night and the kids are restless?

The way it should be.
 --------------

CHUCK ROAST IN A SLOW COOKER OVERNIGHT. 

One sliced onion, salt, pepper and a 1/4 cup of beef broth. Nine hours on low. Plenty of broth for a boat load of homemade gravy too. No muss, no fuss! Four dinners for us.

GRILLING 

This photo from a friend, makes me want to pick up a cold beer and stand there watching the grill. A man thing?

 All the bases covered!

OR SOME SALAD AND STEAK FOR DINNER

Keto friendly.

HOMEMADE 
 

Olive oil, fresh lemon, garlic, salt, pepper and some dill salad dressing. I could not fit any more in the dish. The sweet pickle was, like the whole salad, not planned. Surprisingly, the pop of the sweet pickle worked well with the homemade dressing. 

 JIBBER JABBER

A quiet, hot week. Same same story. Heat and morning humidity drains my energy and attitude in an instant. At least another month of days like this. Not complaining. Well, maybe a little bit.

ELSBETH , the 2 season series.

My wife came upon this quirky, lighthearted series a couple weeks ago. We finished the two seasons last night and I was surprised that I so enjoyed this series. Usually, anything fluffy like this is not my kind of entertainment. But, this is mindless entertainment, good actresses, actors and a wonderful array of guest/support actors in each episode. The stories are well-written and there is talent in the behind-the-scenes folks producing this series. I am also not a fashion person, but my wife is and brought to my attention the high-end designer wardrobes worn in each episode. Many fashion designers are also real life characters in a few of these episodes. Still do not know why I did enjoy this; maybe the bright colors, flash and the degree of absurdity that were an integral part of the lead actress's character. 

I did not like the first two minutes of the first episode opening though. But that never happened again in the following episodes. Give the series a try on Paramount.

DAD OF THE YEAR from Bustedknuckles 

You will enjoy this short video. This fellow knows how to be a dad to his son. His son will never ever forget these times together and they are just beginning. 

Appreciate the visit this week.
