Small things that make you happy!

Cooking. I enjoy a good meal so when I eat out it's a special thing or for a craving. Last week I treated myself to Panda Express which I hadn't had in a while, and every plate I made from my take-out may well have descended from the heavens on a blessed dragon's back, it was that good.

At the end of the day cooking is my stress reliever, it helps me put that stop at my "end of day" to "home time" mostly. I have been craving pot roast and my grocery store had BUY ONE GET ONE FREE tri tip. Well, you don't have to tell me twice!

I'm about to pop it in the crock pot and make a nice dinner to share with my friend tonight. It's no fancy recipe, just the cream o'campbells I've made for years... but it's so simple and good. Last time he came over I made chicken chili--with a salsa verde base.
