Blogging and Cooking

I am still having to fiddle around with this blog. Lost my profile photo and photos in my posts and had to figure out how to get them back on.  Took me awhile........

This is a practice blog so I am just posting whatever I am thinking about.

Last night my grandson and his friend had dinner with us. I had the one dish that I know everyone in my family likes - a recipe that I got from my husband's aunt years ago. She called it Beef Stroganoff, but we just call it Beef and Noodles. Here it is:

Beef and Noodles
1 pound Ground beef
1 medium Onion chopped
3 cups Medium noodles
3 cups Tomato juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
1 can Cream of mushroom soup
1 cup Sour cream

Brown ground beef and chopped onions. Drain off grease. Add noodles, tomato juice, worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Cook until noodles are tender. Add cream of mushroom soup, followed by sour cream, stirring after each addition. Make sure food is not hot enough to boil when adding sour cream or it will curdle. Yields: 4 Servings

Working on Blogger

Well, it's the first day of March, and now I will have 2 months under "archives"!!  Of course, it doesn't matter that I started practically on the last day of February.

In doing some research on blogging this weekend, I found that Blogger uses Picasa Web Albums to store photos that it's users post.  Upon checking my albums I found that even photos that I had used and then deleted from my blog were in my Picasa Web Album - although some of the photos were repeats.  I deleted the repeats and hope I got the right ones.  The photos are still on this site this morning but, according to the article I read, sometimes it takes 24 hours for them to be deleted from the blog.

This morning, in trying to find the site about Picasa and Blogger - since I forgot to bookmark it - I couldn't find it but I found a lot of other sites about this subject..........so guess I will do some more research.

PS After trying in vain to reposition and add a new gadget, I found I could not make it work using Firefox for my browser but was able to after switching to IE.  (Not my idea - I found it after googling)

My Day

I walked 3 laps around the mall this morning with my neighbor.

Went to my grandson's and granddaughter's basketball games.

Came home and worked for HOURS on this blog and as, can be seen, made very little progress - but I'm getting there - stumbling around all the way!  I requested Dummies Guide for Google Blogger (or something like that) from the library.  Hope they send it soon.

In between those things, I did a little housework and made dinner.

I'm ready for some TV and bed.

Leftover Valentine Cookies

 

I made Valentine cookies for my grandchildren.  These I had leftover and put them in my freezer.  Couldn't take it any longer, got them out of that freezer........and ate them all!  I have got to quit doing things like this.

Leftover Christmas Poinsettias

 My Poinsettias from Christmas are still looking good.  I am waiting for the cold weather to pass so that I can plant them outdoors

This blog is a practice blog.  I am not sure where I am going with it - probably it will be just a journal.
