LIVER AND PEANUT BUTTER? You kiddin' me right? And BISCUIT ATE THAT? Poor lil doggie. Sounds like you have a wonderful day planned for tomorrow. Wish I could make it. I thinK I will be home trying to relax some before work on Monday. You have fun and a great day tomorrow. Give Biscuit a kiss for me. He/She is a precious dog.
I usually put chicken in mine, but today I just used some chicken broth instead. Trying to cut corners every which way I can. I got a boston butt today for $4.00. They had them for 99 cents a pound at the store. I will put that in the crockpot tomorrow night or Monday morning. Then we'll have dried pinto beans one night and make chili out of the leftover beans. I keep trying to come up with cost cutting ideas. Maybe we should start a COST CUTTING thread of some sort? We could all probably use some ideas in cutting corners. Any suggestions?
