12:37 making pot roast in crock pot for dinner and snaking on over Labor Day - Browned it on both sides, saved the drippings, thickened with a spot of flower and added spices and onions, made a small gravy - added that to my beef broth water in the crock pot. Added chunks of red potato, onions some basil and bay leaves - set on high for 7 hours. YUM Same time making chocolate chip cookies for the carpenter who is on day 2 of our bathroom remodel (no we are not done yet!!!) Sat and watched a movie about Dale Chihuly (my mentor - his stuff makes great quilts!!) Then news was talking about death of Ted Kennedy!
