I am behind with the 31 Days of Slow Cooking. Last week was crazy busy with parent teacher conferences on Monday and Wednesday nights. I did not get home from work until almost 8:30 on those nights. Then I had activities with the boys on Tuesday and Thursday evenings so I was gone on those nights. Then my Hubby and I went on a weekend trip to Louisville, Kentucky so I was busy during the weekend.

Welcome to Day 25 of 31 Days of Slow Cooking.
We are almost to the end of this series.
Since Halloween is next Monday, I’m going to play This or That – Halloween version.
I have always said since I was born near Hershey Park, I must have chocolate in my blood.
Witches, hands down – Especially if they are good witches.
Treat – Yum!
I dislike scary movies, so Halloween party would be preferred.
Skeletons
When the boys were younger, I would go trick or treating. Now that they are older and go out on their own, I hand out glow sticks not candy.
I seem to get so lost in corn mazes so I prefer hay rides.
I like funny costumes.
I prefer pumpkin seeds. The Imaginative One loves pumpkin pie more than pumpkin seeds.
I wouldn’t want to do either of those two choices. However, I would prefer to walk alone.
Bats
I love pumpkin spice.
We celebrate in my neighborhood.

Your pets least likable character trait.
It’s thundering outside. The rain is pouring. Suddenly lightening lit up the sky.
No one’s home but the dog. He needs comfort from the scary storm outside. So what he does he do?
Does he run and hide in the bedrooms of the family members?
No, he decides to run through the doggy door into the backyard where it’s wet, loud, and dark and then bright when lightening lights up the sky.
He goes to his secret hole in the fence that no one can find.to patch up.
Then he runs to grandma’s house.
Either he finds a little hole in the fence and runs into her backyard to her doggy dog. He escapes the bad storm.
Or he stands at the side door whimpering until someone lets him.
Meanwhile, his owners get a call from grandma telling them that their dog is at her house.
This is one of our dog’s least likable trait. We can’t believe that he doesn’t run and hide during thunderstorms. Instead he will run over to my mother-in-law’s house.
When we leave for the day, we have to check the weather before leaving. If the weather calls for rain, the doggy door will be shut so he doesn’t run to grandma’s house.
It’s early in the morning. People are trying to sleep. All of the sudden you start to hear squawking coming from the living room.Or you hear “Nich-o-las,” “”Get off the Computer,” and “Beak Bump.”
You can not sleep because the bird is insistent someone come and pay attention to him.
Then there is the mess all around the stand. He thinks there are imaginary birds sitting on the ground. So he throws food to those imaginary birds.
This is my son’s bird’s least likable trait. He likes people to pay attention to him. If they don’t, he will either start squawking or talking up a storm until someone pays attention to him.
What is your pet(s)’s least likable traits?

Welcome to Day 20 of 31 Days of Slow Cooking!
I decided to Google a writing prompt for today because I was coming up blank on what I should write. I found a website called Massive Sway that had writing prompts for each day in October. So I’m using today’s writing prompt.
What do you like to do on a dark and stormy day?
Last night as soon as the Wee One had soon left for his acrobatic lesson with his grandma, the dog decided he was going to jump on me. He was breathing on me and shaking like crazy. Why was he doing that? It was getting ready to storm.
I was working on progress reports at that time so I finished working on them. Then I took a bath and just relaxed.
The rest of the night was stormy. It made for good sleeping weather. However I kept getting interrupted by the dog walking into my room, jumping onto my bed (something he’s not suppose to do), walking around my head, and then jumping off the bed. He did that a few times before finally settling down for the night.
It continued raining throughout today while the temperature was dropping. I wish I wasn’t at work because it would be a good day to just relax, read a book, and cook some cookies or brownies. On a rainy day, it’s nice to make soup in the slow cooker.
In fact, I had made taco soup last night. We had more of the soup for dinner tonight.

Welcome to Day 19 of 31 Days of Slow Cooking!
I’m a day behind with the Write 31. Life has gotten a little crazy around here. I ended up having to write an Individualized Educational Plan for one of my students. Then I had to get ready for a meeting with my principal. Finally I had to write detailed progress reports for each of my students. That’s only on the work end of my life.
My mom ended up moving out on Monday. She is within three minutes driving time from my house. That is if the weather is nice. I can walk there in 15 minutes. Having her close is so much better than the previous situation. She used to live 40 minutes from me.
So I helped her out with moving out on Monday. Actually I used the Imaginative One’s strength to help get the tv, microwave, and other boxes out to her car. He and I ended up walking to her apartment so he could help get some of the stuff out of the car.
Last night I took her shopping so that we could get a tv. The one she took to her house ended up not working. It was manufactured in 1996 so maybe it was time for a new one. LOL! So my life has been CRAZY for the last few days.
With the crazy came a writer’s block. I couldn’t figure out what to write and I didn’t want to write. Now it feels better to have some of my inspiration back.
I’m going to attempt to have the next recipe up later tonight.
How’s your last few days been?
Today’s recipe is for Chinese Pot Roast. I have two other recipes for pot roast on I’m Hungry. One is for my favorite pot roast and the other is for balsamic pot roast. Both are delicious.
The soy sauce in this recipe gives the pot roast a different flavor. Serve it with my honey ginger carrots and plain rice.
I think the beef hash would be good with this pot roast. Maybe instead of using potatoes use the rice.

Welcome to Day 18 of 31 Days of Slow Cooking.
This a bittersweet dinner recipe for me. I cooked it for the second time on the day my sister passed away. I got the call from my mom when I was about to sit down with my family to enjoy the dinner I prepared.
I attempted to eat some of the meal but was so worked up that I could not enjoy it what so ever.
The rest of my family enjoyed the flavor of the pork. The balsamic vinegar lends a bit of sweetness to the pork but is not overpowering.
