Tuesday - November 20

Cloudy, but mild day (low 60's).    I met Claire at 8:00 Mass and then we enjoyed catching up over yummy peach/raspberry scones at The Coffee Hound!
 
I ran some errands, back home to do laundry and organized the basement somewhat to start getting out decorations tomorrow.    Liam and Connor are coming after school (1/2 day) and will help carry boxes upstairs and let the fun begin!!!    (No lights till after Thursday, though)!
 
Mark and I visited Ed and Donna Rae in the afternoon and then had a delightful evening with Father Doug (pastor) and Marty, next door neighbor.    Marty's late wife, Angie went all thru school with Father Doug,    Great evening with 2 great guys!
 
I have a recipe I'm going to share that has become very popular (thank you Jane)!!!!!
 
To-Die-For Roast Beef
 
3 lb. roast beef (sirloin tip)
1 envelope Italian dressing mix (like Good Seasons)
1 envelope Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix
1 envelope McCormick's brown gravy mix
 
Place the roast in crockpot, then sprinkle the 3 mixes on top and rub into meat.   Cook on low for 8-9 hours.    Do not add any liquid as there will be plenty from the meat and the au jus is excellent on mashed potatoes!!!
 
Hope your holiday preparations are underway - and keep the stress level to a minimum!!!
