My Nameless Internet Friend of FIFTEEN years

posted my last blog to a big mailing list because of the What-Is-Art video I included. (Check it out- it's at the very beginning of the last post). When she told me she did this I was happy because there are so many people there who should see it and thought I would check to see what my numbers were. Whoa, Nelly- I usually get about 20-30 visitors a day, but yesterday it hit 250. For my little bloggy, that is huge so I thanked Nameless Friend and told her I LIKE the numbers and to do that every day for me! Her answer to increase my numbers:

'then you better start blogging about something other than quilts. How bout cute doggie pix? Hot yoga nudies? Recipes for the crock pot?'

So, to attract new viewers here I go!
The Cute Doggie:  She pouts from the back of the couch when her hard boiled egg breakfast is late.  Quite pathetic.















Hot Nudie Yoga  (check the wall art-  looks like it would hurt!)


And finally, some crock pot recipes especially chosen for this Nameless Pal because she has a garden that is keeping herds of rabbits and several families of deer well fed. Her is MY solution for her problems!

Rabbit Stew
INGREDIENTS:
• 1 or 2 rabbits (or pheasants if your rabbit trap doesn't work
• Salt, pepper and paprika to taste
• 1 c. sour cream
• 1 c. cream of mushroom soup
• 1/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp. instant onions
PREPARATION:
Season cut up meat. Mix sour cream, soup and Worcestershire sauce. Add instant onions. Cook in slow cooker on low for 8 hours.

Venison Stew
INGREDIENTS:
• 2 to 3 lbs. tenderized venison, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 1/2 cups French dressing, vinaigrette or marinade
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 2 carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 3 stalks celery in 1 inch pieces
• 1 can (14.5 oz.) whole tomatoes, mashed
• 1/4 c. quick cooking tapioca
• 1 whole clove garlic
• 1 bay leaf
• Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION:
Marinate venison in French dressing for 12 to 14 hours. Drain off dressing. Put meat in slow-cooker with other ingredients. Cook on low heat for 8 hours.

And today's find, appropriate for me because last nights delicious Posole did a job on my gut (I finished up all my Santa Fe spices, guess I overdid it):

Toilet Paper Holders      TMI, I know.

What a great blog! I am a QA visitor but knew I wanted to read this every single day, so I put a shortcut on my desktop. Now that you have recipes(lose the wild game, pls) I will be even happier to read you. How about my Southwestern Meatloaf for a possible recipe offering:
1 slightly beaten egg
3/4 cup soft bread crumbs (1 slice bread)
3/4 cup salsa
1/3 cup raisins
1/4 cup finely chopped almonds, toasted
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1/4 cup salsa
Salsa (optional)
Directions
1. In a large bowl stir together the egg, bread crumbs, the 3/4 cup salsa, the raisins, almonds, onion, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and cloves. Add ground beef; mix well. In a shallow baking pan pat meat mixture into an 8x4x2-inch oval loaf. (Or, pat meat mixture into an 8x4x2-inch loaf pan.) Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 1 hour.

2. Drain off fat. Insert a meat thermometer into center of loaf. Spoon the 1/4 cup salsa over meat loaf. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes more or until thermometer registers 160 degree F. Transfer meat loaf to a serving platter. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

3. To serve, slice meat loaf with a thin-bladed serrated knife. If desired, serve meat loaf with additional salsa.

Hope you enjoy this,
Your New BF,

Letoile from QA

Why does the nude yoga photo crack me up? I dunno, but it does. I love the variation in toe form. The middle guy seems a little tense.

I think you took that comment about what you needed on your blog just a TAD to literally. Thank the gods that those yoga guys were not in a different pose! Would you like my recipe for Bunny Pie?
you serve it with dyed eggs on the side. ;) Thank you for the smile of the day and perhaps tomorrow too. claudia

Thanks for the venison recipe. Now I know what to do with the deer I'm vowing to strangle for eating up my roses yet again!
