I love the crock pot cooking I have a pork tenderloin on now, the weekend was great, we had so much food and good company, the coast was beautiful.

Anyone who would cook a pork tenderloin on anything other than a grill needs to be arrested and beaten.

Hey now, a crock pot tenderloin fixed MY way is awesome. No babysitting a grill. It came out browned, moist inside and plenty of southern flavor.

Hell, I like pork tenderloin anyway you wanna cook it. I know what moon means I understand what hes saying, its hard to beat a grill, but the way SSC cooks you can bet I'll be on time for supper, heck I'll be early.

Especially after a winter.
I love the grill,but we all don't live,in that area year round.
especially in winter..I do love my crock pot..

Anytime Tyler, there is always a meal cooked, I grill about 3 times a week but to cut back on using the stove I am learning many new crock pot dishes, just mastered country ribs bbqed uses Sweet Baby Ray's sauce and let them cook OMG they are so good.

Just talked to the kids they say there is a small warning of heavy rains from something tropical, I really haven't watched the weather enough to see it. We are off today but back at it tomorrow.

Ok here we go again , the spaghetti plots are all over the place but local is saying between Lafayette and New Orleans , either way that puts me on the wet side, they are saying 6-8 inches of rain if not more.Plus action is suppost to start picking up the next couple weeks. Spooky with the anniversary of Camile. The joys of the sunny south.

Typical late summer here humid, and a huge line of rain coming, so far hurricane season has been reasonably quiet in my area. Works for me . I ran out to see the Harvest moon last night, it was quite a sight here ,clouds but it made an eerie view. Worth fighting the skeeters to see.

Well looks like Karen is getting her act together , we are in Tropical Storm warnings and 20 miles away is Hurricane warnings, pain in the ass.

I really wish this storm would make up its mind, east ? west ? or north ????

Hope it goes oK for you, I think you'll be alright you've certainly seen worst..  

I guess we missed that storm, I have seen the updates yet.

It is 200 miles south of us but the wind shear is tearing it apart but it has gotten stationary, our tides are up and there are mandatory evacuation orders for the lower parishes, we had a run on gas at the stations today but I am good with what ever happens I have extra gas for the generator but I can always put it in the truck...lol

Ok where is this Fall weather ??? Mid Oct. and still have the AC running. It is great for all the festivals and fairs but sucks for the light bill.

Hot cold-hot cold, 2 mornings below freezing now back to the 80's I have a yard full of citrus trees loaded down guess I will be making kumquat and satsuma jelly this weekend.

Well winter is going to arrive but not without 2 days of nasty rain, it is sunny but windy today, I have moved all the plants in the greenhouse and have everything set up to keep them toasty warm. By Wed.& Thurs. night our nighttime temps will be in the mid 20's....

I just made a pass through the yard and picked the satsumas, kumquats, lemons and tangerines and grapefruit. The trees are loaded. Guess it is a jelly making day tomorrow, good for a rainy day project.

Getting ready to start my grocery store run before the 2 day rain sets in, then jelly making and a host of other preps for Thanksgiving. My daughter and granddaughter are taking food to a homeless shelter, my daughter has collected over 6,000 lbs on her job, this is the 3rd. food drop off in the last 6 months. Everyone have a great day.

That's great your daughter and granddaughter are taking food to the homeless shelters, its good to hear nice deeds are still being done in our society.

My brother is cooking our thanksgiving turkey this year, hes got everything he needs for Thursday. We're having the basics, turkey in the oven, stuffing (stove top), mashed potatoes and gravy, a green bean casserole with those dried onion ring things on top of it, and rolls. Looking forward to it!

That sounds like a great meal Tyler. Sounds like your brother is a great cook.
I am really proud of the kids, that shelter feeds over 200 family's a month.

Burrrrr it is cold and windy with a light mist that may turn to sleet later on tonight. A big pot of baked potato soup with crumbled bacon and grilled ham and swiss sandwiches hit the spot tonight. Nothing like southern comfort food to warm the bones.

Cold for sure 22 for tonight, busy finishing up the first round of dishes for tomorrow and desserts, I really hope it warms up earlier than 9am in the morning but dishes are done , gotta go set the water outside in a few, don't need busted pipes for sure.

Have a great Thanksgiving SSC, and try and stay warm.  

Thanks Tyler I hope your day was a wonderful one, it is cold for sure below freezing now and last night it was 22. But 70's are on the way back next week.

Almost 80 for today but a change is coming 5 days of rain with temps dropping by the weekend, prayers to my friends in southern Missouri who are facing ice and snow and frigid temps. Hard to believe I grew up in that kind of weather and now 50 is cold to me . We are in our foggy time of year, visibility this AM was less that a quarter mile
