Howdy, radu! Hope you had a splendid day today and that the coke roast turned out as good as it sounded! Hope your weather was moderate and no rain on a day like today. Ours was lovely and in the 60s.

We got a gift of some food from friends...baked chicken, dressing, gravy, potato salad and 2 pies to go along with the ham, asparagus and baked sweet taters that we already had. Good thing, too. We found out almost too late that Dulcie doesn’t like ham. EEK!

Howdy, LUV!

Whew! Sounds like your friends saved the day with the baked chicken. And it also sounds like y’all don’t have to worry about going out to eat for a few days. LOL!

I reckon the cola roast was another hit. It was a 2 lb. roast and I put half away after supper. Hubby ate the other half! I has veggie “steak”. I wrapped some cut up potatoes with butter and seasonings in aluminum foil and slid them in next to the roast to cook while I dealt with the cat feeding. There was also the broccoli casserole I baked last night. Not a huge meal but it was plenty for just the two of us. The woman who comes by every year to gather pecans from our trees brought a pecan pie this morning.

Our temps weren’t quite as warm as yours but the mid 50s felt nice enough. Nary a cloud in the sky either. To be honest, we wish it would rain SOON because this has been a VERY dry month. Leaves on the ground and everything so dry has people worried about wildfires springing up. It was a year ago that Gatlinburg was almost destroyed.
No rain in the forecast until late next week and that is a small chance. But the temps will be nice - - 50s and 60s. No complaints here!
