OH no, what have I done?

Where are we today ? 
 clic a pic to enlarge it
       Waking up to another cool morning 32F (0C) at 5 am. Got some computing done and coffees consumed watching a very nice sunrise  outside our dining room window. Because it is not going to be a great weather day we put a roast beef in our slow cooker and let it just go all day long on low. Making our house smell wonderful.  
the sun is beginning to rise
getting better 
here it is
            As the sun came up I went for a nice walkabout before it got too windy, Got a mile in and back home again. Getting windier and colder, not much outside fun today that's for sure An East wind on our patio side with gusts to 30 MPH. Supposed to have some rain showers later and cloudy all day. Glad we got to soak up some sunshine yesterday.
then the color went away
by one of the cabins I noticed this mourning dove on a nest
too cool

Blog issues

      I have been having issues with spam comments coming in for moderation, way too many emails, they never got posted but still annoying. So I thought I would go in my settings and clean them all up, I have stopped the emails. But the spam folder was getting pretty full. Pretty easy to do right? So I thought I would delete all the spam comments. Then I went back on my blog and was sure I had some comments from last night and early this morning. What the heck!!!! Here I had deleted the last 100 comments from the previous week. Oh no!!!! What have I done??? I treasure all my comments from our readers and reply to everyone of them. Try as I might I cannot get them back they are gone into cyber space.. Think maybe I need to just leave my settings alone from now on. 
     Oh well think maybe I will just stick to posting my blog and cooking I seem to have pretty good luck with that. We enjoyed a tasty lunch , more ham bean soup then I took a nice drive to Forest looking for a couple of things. Got what I wanted and back home again to relax inside enjoying our page turners. Smelling the roast cook and making us hungry. Rained most of the afternoon and the temperature really warmed up to 40F  (4C) though the weather network said 46F, not here thats' for sure. I did get out for a bit took a few wet pictures and back inside to warm up again
        While reading this afternoon and our roast cooking away I decided this would be a good day to make some Broccoli Tots a recipe I got from Shirley last winter after a tasty treat for happy hour. For this recipe you can click HERE or my recipe blog top right sidebar.
making the tots
all chopped up , next time I will chop it more
ready for the oven
they smell wonderful and very tasty
      For our roast beef tonight we like to make some Yorkshire Pudding and this mix works wonderful quick and easy, Only on Canada we have found it, though too bad, we stock up for the winter with these mixes.
our roast beef cooking nicely in our slow cooker
Yorkshire pudding is done and we are ready to eat
this sure was tasty with a bit of gravy
some cottage cheese on our salad for a treat

and the broccoli tots
almost forgot the carrots but we enjoyed them too
   This sure was a very tasty meal we both enjoyed . I do love my beef but beef does not love me. So a Pepcid AC was needed to help my tummy.  We did enjoy it though at the time.
    No visible sunset tonight and cooling down rapidly, soon back to freezing again. Maybe will warm up again in the next few days, but won't hold my breath. Time to become a couch potato.
    Thanks for stopping by and hope I don't screw up your comments anymore.

  3. Cow fat and my tummy are bitter enemies. So I tend to skip any beef that is not extremely lean.

    1. Any beef seems to bother my tummy, so we rarely eat it. Chicken, fish and pork don't bother me at all. I and best to stick with that.

  9. Beautiful sunrise George! So sorry about your comments I know I like to go back sometimes and look at mine :) I have found that chopping the tots is very tedious to get them small, but they looked delicious to me..not always pretty but always tasty! Don't know if you have a small food chopper or processor we just recently bought one and what a difference in chopping the tots! I paid 20.00 for mine at wlamart as didn't want anything to take up much room, just a thought. That roast beef and sides looks absolutely delicious! YUM!
