Easy Peasy BBQ'd Pulled Pork Sandwiches

I cam across this idea on Jillee's blog One Good Thing and
 then ran into it again on her Pinterest Page. 
She had found it on Pinterest (of course!) LOL
It was a quick and easy way to shred cooked chicken
with your KitchenAid!

Her photos are pretty self explanatory.
Using the paddle while the chicken is still hot,
start out slow on low speed then increase speed as
the chicken becomes for shredded.

SO, the other day I needed a quick and
easy meal to come home to.
I threw a pork roast into the Crock Pot so it
would be nice and done for Pulled Pork Sandwiches.

After I got home I removed the roast from the Crock,
let it drain, then started the task of pulling.
 Jillee's idea popped into my mind.
I thought it was the perfect time to try it out.

Did as she described

And Voila!
All shredded super quick and easy.

All I had to do was add a bottle of
BBQ sauce and we were ready to eat
 our Pulled Pork Sandwiches!


 Lve my KitchenAid!



How To Stop Church Gossip



"How To Stop Church Gossip"
Mildred, the church gossip, and self-appointed monitor of the church's morals, kept sticking her nose into other people's business.
Several members did not approve of her extra- curricular activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence.
She made a mistake, however, when she accused Frank, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his old pickup parked in front of the town's only bar one afternoon. 
She emphatically told Frank (and several others) that every one seeing it there would know what he was doing!.
Frank, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just turned and walked away. He didn't explain, defend, or deny.
He said nothing..
Later that evening, Frank quietly parked his pickup in front of Mildred's house ... walked home .... .and left it there all night.
(You gotta love Frank!)

Water, Water, Who's Got the Water?

Surely not us!
More water cut backs are in place.
My gardens are so dry.
I'm going to have to look up how to do a rain dance!!
Wanted to pick a bouquet for the house,
but so many plants are wilted.
Scared I'm going to lose some during this drought.
I managed to find a few Honeysuckle blooms - you know Honeysuckle, you can't keep that one down!
So I made a small bouquet.
Yes, it's a little puny, but let me tell you the scent isn't!
One of my fav scents, brings back a lot of
memories from my childhood.
Which normally I would relish,
but been kind of melancholy lately.

More on Infused Spa Waters


I've been broadening my horizons since my last post on
I've figured out what to do with some of my Grapes...
Make infused water!

You could use red or green Grapes, but since I have Thompson Seedless coming out of my ears that's what I used.
I cut each Grape in half and threw about a couple good sized handfuls in. Since Grapes have a mild flavor, I didn't even bother measuring.
I had purchased a pineapple and had some leftover so I threw in a small handful, I didn't want the Pineapple to overpower the grapes.

Let is sit till the next day and yummy!
I still had some Pineapple left so I threw the rest in along with Strawberries. A light tropical flavor, but need to watch how much Pineapple you throw in, as it can over power!

My Cucumbers are coming in, more than that first lonely one!
 I tried Cucumber, Mint and Lemon.
I have Mint in my garden and my neighbor gave me some Lemons off her tree. Cost - zip!
The flavor was  mile yet invigorating, probably from the Lemon and Mint ;)
My neighbor also gave me some frozen Lemon juice she squeezed from the her Lemons, so when the fresh ones are gone I'll try that. But when using the whole Lemon you get the oils from the rind too. 
But my all time fav is Watermelon!
Tastes like Summer!
Confession, I don't know what others do, but I always eat the fruit/veggies that makes it into my glass or is left over when the waters gone. Waste not want not!
