Don't ya hate it when. . .

So anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE to read and that I LOVE my dog, Sasha. I mean my very first post on here was about Sasha. So needless to say I was very excited when I saw that Oprah's new book club book was a book about dogs. Having been burned once before reading one of O's book club books, I really would not recommend The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet, I was also slightly leery at the same time. Since we don't have any extra money to be going out buying books when the public library here is pretty well stocked, I put the book The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski on hold. So months go by and eventually I see the book on the Best Sellers shelf at the library which means that I can get it out for a week. I spend the next week with the book glued to my hand and still don't finish it. I then have to wait about another month before I get high enough on the hold list to actually get the book for my allotted 3 week stint from the EPL. Luckily for me this time frame falls during the recent Christmas break so since Scott was off work I became slacker mom and read like crazy! So before this already long story gets any longer I'm just going to say I really hate it when you read a book but you're not quite sure how it ends. Did the main character die? Did the bad guy die? Did everyone live happily every after? If you like books with endings like this I have two book recommendations for you - The Story of Edgar Sawtelle and also The Giver.

Sloppy Joe Squares

1 lb ground beef
onion, to taste
salt, pepper, chili powder, & garlic,to taste
2 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp Worcestershire
3/4 c Ketchup
a good squirt brown sugar BBQ sauce
1 1/4 c water
2 pkg crescent rolls
grated or sliced mozza

Cook beef, onions and spices until beef is no longer pink. Add flour, water, ketchup, BBQ sauce and Worcestershire. Simmer 15- 20 min. Line a 9x13 pan with 1 pkg crescent rolls and bake 5 min at 350F. Spread beef mixture over crescent rolls and then spread cheese over beef. Top with 2nd pkg of rolls, making sure dough touches edge of pan. Bake again until browned, about 15 min.

I didn't have any brown sugar BBQ sauce so I just used what I had and added a handful of brown sugar. I also used the Kraft Tex-mex already grated cheese instead of mozza. For an easier clean up I sprayed the pan with Pam.

I think if you just fried the beef and added a can of Manwich it would be just as tasty!

Is anyone out there?

I'm just curious if anyone really does read this??? Sometimes I wonder if Cath and Jen are the only ones? Oh well, it's still a good place to post pictures I guess? I wonder if I can post this with only using question marks? Maybe I should stop now while I'm ahead?

Okay yeah it's official I'm crazy - I'm laughing to myself about doing a whole paragraph with only questions. . . shaking my head but still laughing. Yep I'm a loser!
