is in the crockpot as we speak. The picture definitely doesn't do it justice. It looks like meatloaf...and that, it definitely is not. It is a roast, rubbed down with chili powder, cumin and smoked paprika (smoked paprika? who knew!), seared and plopped in the crock pot. Deglaze the the searing pan with some stock, throw in a little tomato paste and chipotle peppers and reduce. Add in a bunch of garlic and onions, pour over the roast, wait 6-8 hours...and voila! At least, I'm really hoping for "voila." There's a lot of excitement and anticipation built up, and this baby better deliver. I'm planning to throw together some guacamole, and unfried-refried beans (crockpot was doing double duty today!) that are currently sitting in the fridge. And then there are the fresh-made whole wheat tortillas I picked up from H-E-B today....YUM! I'll let you know how it turns out. Like I said, expectations are hiiiiigh!
Ok, so on to more interesting topics - the rest of our Thanksgiving vacation in Oklahoma! We took Audrey to Rusty's to get a taste of Oklahoma-style custard. I suppose it's not very different from Georgia-style... Anyway, I think she liked the chalk best. :)
I think we wore her out...
Thursday I took these three to Chick-fil-a for breakfast! Uncle David and Aunt Susan "helped" Audrey get up to the slide in the playplace... I think they had a good time. Also Audrey finally started to warm up to David. All it took was a couple trips down the slide on his lap!
We kicked off the weekend by stepping on a bee. The poor little kiddo. I was very thankful that my fellow "crunchy" girlfriend (Sherilyn!) had a fight with a bee a few weeks ago herself, and was able to point us in the right direction. Audrey's whole little foot swelled up, but we treated it quickly, and she soon fell asleep on Mimi's lap and by the time she woke up she wanted to walk on it! She didn't complain about it at all after that!
Saturday morning we went to breakfast with some ladies from my family's church, and then to Lydia's salon to get ..... ~ Audrey's first hair cut ~ !!!! (Pics to come!)
Then we were off to OU to take more pictures with Heather. Those will come later as well... but for now, these will have to do!
Later that day we watched Georgia get beat...very anti-climactically, I must say. It was still fun watching football with my fam. It's been a while!
Ok, that's all for now. Next time....potty training! Ah!
Ok, you're not allowed to write that much about food ever!!!!! I am now starving!
