Yesterday, my college friend Christy and her family came to visit from Texas. Christy has three little girls. Emily was delighted to have three girls play with her all day. They loved carrying her around and playing with Emily and all her toys. As if that were not fun enough, we went to the Gentry drive through zoo. Emily has NEVER been so excited. I think she was having "spells" because she was so thrilled. I love going to the place too, so I guess she gets it natural. Emily loved the animals coming up to the window. She would say hi to them and played peek-a-boo with a few of them. She spent a lot of time saying "oooh, ooh,ooh." We all had a great day yesterday. I loved being with Christy and her family and catching up on things. This morning when Emily woke up at 5:00a.m., I put her next to me in bed so she would go back to sleep. She had a dream that caused her to smile big behind that pacifer, I couldn't help but wonder if she was thinking about her fun day.
Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck...
