Choice Morsels

We had plumbing work done today.  I needed a new kitchen faucet we'd purchased put in, the values under the sink fixed (apparently they leaked when Hubby tried turning them off a couple weeks ago) and the master bathroom sink handle, which was straight, but 90 degrees opposite of straight, straightened. Clearing out the cabinets in both, then putting everything back has taken all afternoon. It necessitates cleaning along the way and I put shelf liner in the bathroom sink cabinet before putting it's stuff back. Hubby just called that he was stuck on base. A thunderstorm lightning strike triggered security alarms and the Air Base shut down the gate, stopping traffic from departing base. Right a rush-hour, too. That means a major back-up. He was in his car in a parking lot where he could see the line of traffic, waiting for it to start moving, so he knew the gate was open again. So, busy day.

Today's recipe is from a Taste of Home magazine featuring slow cooker recipes:   Slow-Cooked Sirloin. Delicious!  Sirloin steak is cooked in a richly seasoned broth-Worcestershire mix with bell peppers & onions for 4 hours on high, then just thicken broth into gravy and serve sliced over rice or mashed potatoes!   It's simple and easy.  I bought a tray of 2-sirloin steaks from the meat department, because I wanted enough for two meals for us, so we could each have half a steak, about 5, maybe 6 oz.  (I mean, really, who wants to eat just 3 oz of steak?) The double-pack was cheaper then buying them singly. They were each 4 inches by 8 inches--not super big. For a family of 4, I believe you'd need at least two steaks.
