Bailey’s, LOL!
Looks yummy! I like the idea of adding extra lemon juice!
Beau likes a ‘pudding’ for his evening snack at times. I make the sugar-free with half and half. There’s like 1 CARB in the whole bowl! (Atkins Diet trick...)
15 calories of canned whipped cream on top and a crushed up cookie - whatever is on hand.
My Kale is now slow-covered but still edible by me and the hens!
Kinda nippy out this morning. 25 below 0. It is supposed to cool off some this week though. Not much gardening going on!
The day started off well ... almost-full moon hanging above the mountain ridge & everything was ‘shades of white’ with snow. We had light fog creeping in from the river so the landscape wasn’t in ‘sharp’ focus but had a dreamy, fairyland quality to it. I was out early, just before the sun with its golden rays popped over the big mountains to the east, which gave the landscape a whole new look.
The trash didn’t get picked up yesterday due to the weather. I thought they might come today so that’s why I was out early, to get the can back down to the road. It did get picked up, so I don’t have to deal with reporting a missed pickup.
We are being serenaded by a new batch of cows next door at the Cow Palace. New cows bellow almost constantly for 2-3 days before they settle in. At least we can’t hear them in the house.
Yesterday, I cleaned out the small amount of Thanksgiving leftovers in the fridge & a bunch of old stuff out of the big freezer. The foxes, coyotes & whatever cleaned up most of it overnight. There is a frozen hunk of beef bones still there & the crows have worked on that this morning. We have some turkey bones & another old piece of meat going out tonight so the feasting will continue.
There are 2 (old) chuck roasts in the freezer. I think I am going to try the brisket recipe you posted on one of them because there are so many flavors in the rub, cooking liquid & final sauce. The meat isn’t freezer burned, but it could need some help when it comes to ‘taste’.
The rest of the afternoon, I am watching college football playoffs ... mom got the house decorated & I got some small projects done for her so I am putting my feet up & taking the rest of the day off :-)
I was happy for 25 ABOVE zero, today. It was positively BALMY out there!
25 ABOVE must be ‘Shorts and Sandals’ weather for you, LOL!
Aw!! Thanks Diana!
(I slept till 9:00, so had a good start!)
That Brisket rub will turn those roasts to BUTTAH!
I am doing a ‘Coffee’ roast on Monday for a friend that is visiting. He’s the ‘Camp Cook’ for Bear Camp all Summer and Fall so I want to WOW him a little. This one would serve your roasts well, too! I’ve made it half a dozen times now, to rave reviews.

I know you mentioned that you don’t ‘do’ coffee at home now, but it only needs 2/3 of a cup. Maybe you could borrow leftovers from a neighbor? LOL! Even Instant Coffee (GASP!) would work in a pinch. You just want the subtle flavor. In this recipe the onions and the herbs do all the heavy lifting. ;)
Whaet! Hlæfdīge! Helas! (What? Lady, alas!)
Brave search summary: "The term "Lady" in English derives from the Old English word hlæfdīge, which literally means "loaf kneader". This compound is formed from hlaf, meaning "loaf" or "bread," and dīge, meaning "kneader" or "maker," related to the concept of dough. The word hlæfdīge was used to describe the woman responsible for kneading bread in a household, reflecting her role in food preparation. Over time, the term evolved into "lady," and while the literal meaning of "bread kneader" is no longer in use, the etymology remains rooted in this domestic and agricultural role. The evolution of hlæfdīge into "lady" reflects broader societal changes, where the domestic role of bread-making transitioned into a title of high social status."
So there! (Here endeth the English lession of the Day!)
Well done.
And yes, I actuality read it.
Mom drinks coffee so I could get her to make 2 cups instead of one ... or I could get out my percolator (we each have one) & borrow some coffee from her (I gave her what I had when I quit) to brew something stronger than what she makes. I have 2 roasts so I could do both recipes.
Call me ANYTHING...but late for supper, LOL!
I did not know the origin of the word. Beau would LOVE a book like that - because I’m always telling him word origins and he wonders how I even KNOW this stuff. And I beat him at ‘Jeopardy’ a LOT! ;)
Dude. Remember me? I’m the one you found years ago with her nose IN A BOOK? ;)
P.S. And DO NOT get your Etymology (Words) confused with your Entomology! (Bugs!)
P.P.S. My favorite ‘word origin’ is the word, ‘Enthusiasm.’ ‘En thos’ means, ‘With God.’ So try to be a little more ENTHUSIASTIC in all endeavors, would ya? LOL!
"The Elements of Old English" Moore, Knott, Hulbert, Geo Wahr publishing AnnArbor MI. 1977.
Still have it and am looking at it right now!
Brave AI Search (NOT me) gives this: "A pot roast can be prepared using Malta Goya as a flavorful ingredient, particularly in recipes inspired by Latin American and Caribbean cuisine. While traditional German pot roasts use malt beer, Malta Goya serves as a non-alcoholic alternative with a rich, malty flavor that complements the meat. The beverage, made from malted barley, corn syrup, hops, and other ingredients, imparts a sweet and slightly bitter taste with notes of caramel, toast, and molasses, often likened to a non-alcoholic stout."
Never heard of the stuff - looked at a couple of online comments which were mixed & I think I will stick with coffee; however it was an interesting suggestion :-)
It may not be too available where you are in any case. I bought some to try in a pulled pork recipe and it worked IIRC.
I have a bottle occasionally. No alcohol and that’s fine.
(I think its speaking to you Diana! What is it saying??)
Last name is Yoder, so probably Amish/Mennonite...Is that tack on the wall to the right? :)
