Sunday's Dinner Debacle

This is what our pork chop sauerkraut dinner looked like when we left for church. This is also what our pork chop sauerkraut dinner looked like when we got home from church. In my haste to prepare dinner, finish up my lesson for sunday school, etc. I didn't push the electronic buttons enough times. When I looked at the digital readout it said low for 8 hours. That was just what I wanted. When I got home and there was no cooking smell in the house, I checked again. It said push to start. I didn't dare use meat that had sat at room temperature for 4-5 hours, so we threw it away and started over. I was able to come up with broccoli & cauliflower steamed with melted cheese, spinach salad, cantalope and black grapes, and a wheat roll. Not bad for a quick substitute. I was mad about wasting 6 pork chops, potatoes, sauerkraut and mushroom soup. Oh well. Hopefully you will get a chuckle out of my dinner debacle which I'm sure you will never do.

It's was so fun to have Jen and Will this past week. Will is such a cutie and Jen's a terrific mother. They left yesterday after the dinner debacle and went to her sister's for awhile. We started missing them immediately.

Just a note to let you know that Steve went to Dr. Toronto today and found out that his knee will heal. He has a deteriorating miniscus (I have no idea how to spell that.) It is an old injury from years past that he tweeked and it became inflamed. There is no additional permanent damage and no arthritis. He got 2 cortizone shots which should speed his recovery. He'll be back to yard work soon. I thought that you would all want to know the good news.
