That is what was for dinner tonight !

Yesterday evening I made my very first ever Pecan  Pie.  It is only recently in the last couple of years that I have grown to like pecans.  I had all the stuff so I made a pie.  I may have undercooked it.  I got a beautiful looking pie on top, soup underneath.   I followed the recipe on the back of the Karo jar and only cooked it for 50 min.  I put it back in the oven today and cooked it for 30 more minutes, but the damage was done. 
So I have learned what not to do.  We will have to wait cause this is a lot of pie filling to eat for me and Pop (with moderation).  I wonder if I can put it in canning jars and freeze it?  Might be better later.

For dinner tonight I made Spaghetti from scratch.  I haven't made sauce from scratch for a really long time.
I used no salt added sauce  and paste.  I cooked half a white onion, 2 cloves of garlic and about a 6 cremini mushrooms and 4 button mushrooms.  I used ground turkey flavored with poultry seasoning and I jar of heart smart Prego spaghetti sauce.  To add in the flavor I added some sugar since we can't add salt.  It was really good sauce.  I cooked it for 2hrs in the am and then added the meat, onions, mushrooms and garlic when it was closer to dinner time.
We also had a small green salad, gotta have veg with dinner.  I haven't made a sunday dinner in along time and this was really good. I do miss being able to put sausages in the sauce, that is how we used to do it along time ago, but with age comes diet restrictions.

When you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

It is a funny title, it is something my mom used to say when I was complaining about something or someone that had nothing to do with nothing except my own selfishness.  Believe it or not when I was younger I was really selfish and only thought of how things effected me. Needless to say, saying that in a Blog is kind of funny. Lol. 

 For those that are interested, I have a consignment space here in Bremerton.  I am selling some of my mom's old dishes to help pay for things I need as I don't have a job and can't get one anytime soon (taking care of Pop is full time unpaid with no outside help).  I am also trying my hand at selling some jewelry I made.  One of my sisters gave me some supplies and I am trying to do something with it.


 I have sold some of the dishes last month and 1 pair of earrings.  I am satisfied.  I am thinking of putting some of my Black n white photography up for sale as well.  I talked it over with Pop, he wasn't to keen on the idea.  He did photography in High school ( it is a way we connect) and he is funny he doesn't seem to want to let go of my art work.

When I was in College he learn to paint at the Sr. Center in Puyallup because I was painting. Another way for him to connect with me.
It is hard for me sometimes because the Art and Craft things I do, I do them for myself.  I do ask his opinion when I am done, or about colors sometimes when I am stumped.  He can have really good ideas sometimes and even his bad ideas are good cause the help me decide what I don't want.

I hope you enjoy the pictures and I will post again soon.
