Phone Calls, Chicken and My Brother

Oh Wednesday! The middle of the week. 2 more days until the weekend. My schedule is still very hectic with the first day of school being less than a month away! I am holding on for dear life. Lately, I have been trying to catch up with people on the phone and playing phone tag. I got the chance to speak to my Aunt Kathy yesterday. Let me give you a little back ground info on my Aunt. She is zesty. Yes I think Zesty will describe her right now. She is loud, the Queen of QVC and HSN, blunt and funny. I had not chatted with her in a while and gave her a call. She called me back yesterday morning but I was busy with work. She left 2 voice mails. When I checked them it was her husband. He had seen my name on the caller ID and thought I was the plumber. I called her back and talked for 2 hours. A Very Lengthy time. We covered all topics (family, favorite products and what not) and I'm glad I got the chance to speak with her. I also chatted with my brother. He was very skeptical when I told him I was starting a blog. But he did tell me that he has been reading it!!! And then got all sensitive on me because I called him my big headed brother!!! So Dear Brother of Mine- You will always be my big headed older brother and I would not have it any other way and I'm sorry if I've offended you but you know that I LUV U!

I also cooked a little Chicken in the Crock pot on Sunday. I think that I would call it my Chicken Roast Recipe! It was very simple and I am still eating the left overs. First, put about 1/2 cup - 1 cup of chicken broth in the pot. Next, add your seasoned chicken thighs. Add some red potatoes cut into quarters and some carrots. Cook on Low for 8 hours. The trick to this recipe is seasoning! I can't mention seasoning enough. It is very important that you season the chicken and the vegetables! I used some season salt, pepper and a few secret ingredients. Paprika would be great for some coloring. I did not want to use Garlic but I am sure that it would be great. The chicken was very tender and juicy. I wish that I would have removed the skin from the thighs! I also made some purple hull peas. They were very tasty. I just wish that I had some fresh okra and fried green tomatoes. Enjoy the rest of your day!!!
