This is the living room. So sad to see the stains on the carpet - they're bad.

This is the dining room. I am pleased to see there will be room in it to stash the dishwasher when not in use. They are leaving us the table and chairs, but I will need a table cloth and cushions to hide the stains.

This is our laundry room. They took the washer and dryer out after I took the pic. I love that it has that long shelf for hanging clothes.

Yet again...

Best crock-pot chili ever. Trust me. 1lb lean ground beef, 1.5 cups of salsa, 1 can of tomato sauce, 1 can of dark kidney beans, 1 can of light kidney beans, 2 tablespoons chili powder, and one diced onion. Top with shredded mexican cheese!

Applesauce chicken

This is the "year of crock-potting" recipe that pasta queen recently blogged about. It was pretty good, but needed a good amount of extra salt. Maybe it was because I used unsweetened applesauce.

Trying to expand my horizons

This is the brie dip recently written at the "A Year Of Crock-Potting" blog. I wish I had used more cheese, the cheese ratio was definitely off. It is so expensive, though! The dip was yummy when spread on the apples. It was also my first time trying walnuts since the allergy tests, and it was a success!!

It may not be ladylike to continue rubbing one off on your perch while someone takes a picture.... But you gotta admire the bird who knows what she wants and doesn't let anyone stop her happiness!

Clutter! Chaos!

Proof that I have been packing. I am an idiot and put the boxes so close to the door I can't close the blinds, but I am grateful to have been getting stuff done!
