I’m So Excited! And I Just Can’t Hide It!
After 4 long years, tonight was my last night as the Homeowner’s Association President!!! I got guilted into doing it 4 years ago (and basically every year since). I tried to step down last year-ya know, I had a newborn? But, this year it FINALLY worked and I am NO LONGER ON THE BOARD! Wow, what a thankless job that has zero perks. ZERO. All it is is other homeowners calling you on Christmas Eve asking you to come sweep their roof for them-that got a big “NO”. Anyway-I’m DONE.
Dinner tonight was some tri-tip that I had in the freezer. I threw it in the crock pot this morning with some Bone Suckin’ Sauce and chicken broth and cooked it on low.
I’m all out of my Bone Suckin’ Sauce 🙁
I served it sliced on buns with Trader Joe’s BBQ sauce. I LOVE this sauce!
Shaun and Lucy got regular mayo, but I picked something new up to try. Garlic-Herb Lemonaise:
It was really good. There’s eggs in it, so it’s not vegan, but it’s made with canola oil and has a nice tang.
I also put some vegan cheese on it. I’m trying to use this stuff up. I’m not a huge fan of processed crap, even if it’s vegan. Here’s my non-photogenic dinner:
The brussel sprouts were frozen ones that I threw in the oven with some balsamic. I wouldn’t recommend trying to roast frozen brussel sprouts. The weren’t very good. Thankfully my sandwich was.
Shaun usually hates meat that I cook in the crock pot but he REALLY enjoyed this and gave it a 3.5 out of 5 stars.
After my meeting Shaun asked if I would go get him some dessert. It’s been POURING rain, thunder, hailing-basically the worst storm we’ve had ALL YEAR and he gave me the pouty face about dessert. So I picked some stuff up:
(I think I deserve an award for wife of the day today). Guess which one I had?
You’re right 🙂 Some more processed junk.
It was DEEEEEE-licious though!
Alright, off to go watch some Idol. See you in the AM!

Congratulations on no longer being president and for becoming wife of the year instead!!
Hard to resist the pouty face for sure, but I’m with you on the Cuties!
Congratulations on the news! I am sure you will find better things to do with your time! =)
MMM…ice cream sandwiches…oh so good..
yay for not having a thankless job anymore! i can’t imagine the junk you have to put up with from people. but not anymore 🙂 have a good first day of freedom 🙂
(p.s. congrats on getting on kath’s blog…the cranberry jam looks amazing!)
I cannot believe your hubs doesn’t like crockpot meat!? We are obsessed with our crockpot…. speaking of which, my mother-in-law stole mine. I need to get that back!
That sandwich looks delicious!!
I haven’t had those Tofutti Cuties. I really want to try. Do you they taste “tofu-y”? Yes, that’s a word.
I’m still excited guys 🙂
Kara-he is one picky dude!
Jasmine-they taste JUST LIKE ice cream sandwiches. My VERY PICKY husband who hates just about anything soy LOVES them. Try ’em-they’re yom!
I discovered Veganaise hidden in the dairy section of my grocery store four months ago and I haven’t looked back. I’m not Vegan and I don’t eat tons of sandwiches, but I like the cholesterol free-ness of it. I’ve even convinced the hubby that it won’t kill him if he eats it once in a while too.
