Stewing it Up!!!

Hi All,

We've had a pretty low-key weekend because Rosie has been under the weather. On Saturday morning we headed to our local grocery store, Stop & Shop, to do our weekly shopping and buy the ingredients for the "Nor'easter Beef Stew" recipe (posted last year). My friend John was supposed to come over for dinner so we could start planning a Christopher Reeve fundraiser. Anyway, Rosie had an accident in the grocery store and we were beyond mortified. This has only happened one other time @ Kmart!!! Another horrifying experience!

When we got home, she had the runs.Needless to say, we knew she had something wrong. We decided to cancel our plans that evening with her being sick. We had no idea if we would be cleaning up the condo all day. Caitlin will get together on Sunday w/ John and work on the fund raiser plans. Saturday night we stayed in and played Scrabble. Caitlin beat Kyle in a close game. Cait is addicted to playing Scrabble on Facebook.

Sunday morning we began cooking the beef stew since we had bought everything for it. We feed Rosie a rice and 1/2 her dry food. She is pretty starved, but seems better than yesterday. Kyle has to work this evening so he is staying home w/ the dog while Cait meets up with John at a coffee shop to start planning the fundraiser. This post has a few shots of Cait cooking. It was a group effort but I refused to let Cait take my picture since I had not yet showered. Cait had not showered either but she still let me post the pics. Have a great week.

P.S. Did you all hear about Hurricane Kyle?

P.S.s. Last night we made an apple blueberry crisp and it was FAB! Not diet friendly, especially with the gob of vanilla ice cream on top :)

See the big pot behind Cait? It is filled to the rim with beef stew. Cait wanted to double the recipe. Not sure that was a good idea as we have no room for freezing it in the freezer!
