Have You Tried the Purdue Oven Ready Roaster

I know I haven been awfully quite but there has been a lot going on in my household. Have you been introduced to this bird?

Have you ever bought one of those roasters in a bag? If you haven't tried one they are very easy to prepare.

Here is the bird fresh out of the bag, nice and moist. Cooked to 180 degree perfection.

I have also been doing a lot of writing - a mix of business, poetry and a little creative writing.

Tamari Roasted Salmon

My latest dinner from A Chica Bakes. Here is the link to her recipe. I may have used a little too much mayonnaise, but it was good. Very simple. I used plenty of aluminum foil to help keep down dishes to wash.

I made this little house over at my mother's house with my niece. Perfect use for old Christmas cards.

The cover opens to put stuff if you desire.

Here is my little Christmas tree.

I also did a little writing...

Skirt Steak Grandma

This was my dinner last night thanks to Jacques Pepin. The recipe comes from his book More Fast Food My Way.

Here is the recipe from the book

And here is the she Jacque Pepin show that goes with this recipe.

Here is the link to the television show information.

I also did some writing. I like characters so here are some.

Theater Tonight!

Tonight I am off to the theater - Ivoryton Playhouse to be exact. They are doing The Woman in Black.

The play stars Steven L. Barron who was last seen in the 2010 production Driving Miss Daisy and  Ian Lowe.  The show was directed by Maggie McGlone-Jennings. The story is based on the novel by Susan Hill. It is sure to be a success. 


On another note this is what I had for dinner last night.

Yes, it is a television dinner but it is healthy and I don't like to make it a habit of eating frozen dinners. If you are going to eat healthy one of the better frozen meals to chose is Amy's. Here is what the meal looks like fresh out of the oven.

It was tasty but I would not recommend a frozen dinner on a regular basis. 


While I did have a frozen meal for dinner I did have time to do a little more writing that was fun - Role Model: Arthur "Artie" Abrams of Glee. 

Able to Get in Some Writing and Steak

I have been keeping busy. I wrote two articles recently, Role Model: Kurt Hummel of Glee, Role Model: Brittany Pierce of Glee, Role Model: Rachel Barbra Berry of Glee.

For dinner I had steak tonight...

I marinated this steak with extra virgin olive oil, Balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Garlic, fresh parsley and cilantro, and A1 Steak Sauce. I marinated it for 4 hours and then I grilled it, and added a little butter on top. Oh the cholesterol it must have. It was yummy!
