Adventures in Cooking This Week and My First Fishing Tournament

Well first, I must apologize to Hayley. She went to the store to get some frosting and muffin cups so she could make cupcakes for her coworker's birthday. She goes to mix the batter and realizes that I had hard-boiled every egg in the house. Oops. I wanted them for spinach salads. She calls me at work and asks if there is anything you can use to substitute for eggs. I do a Google and not anything I keep at the house....TOFU? Really?

Anyway, she had to go back to the store and I know she was in a hurry because she had to go to work. What can I say.....Sorry Dear.

So I made some Asian Slimming Soup this week. I didn't have the cabbage so I just added lettuce. Don't do that. It makes a mess. Every time you take a spoon of soup, a big piece of stringy lettuce will drip all over your face. Other than that, the soup was okay.

I found a recipe to try this week for peppered roast beef with a horseradish sauce. Well, I accidentally bought pot roast and not roast beef. Crud. So now I have a pot roast with carrots and potatoes in the crock pot, but by goodness, I still made my horseradish sauce and it is yummy. Here's what I used:

• Sour cream
• Horseradish
• Lime juice
• Tiny bit of mustard

Anyway, it's good on my finger, so I know it'll be great on my pot roast this evening.

So the weather is going to be great in Texas this weekend. So the boyfriend who is a bass fisherman (he's won money doing this), signed us up for a tournament. This is a small tournament, so I won't be winning any new bass boats or pick up trucks. Whatever. He better give me some good bait.

He always uses different bait than me and he seems to catch more fish. WTH? Last week, he put a white pom pom thing on my line and he had a rubber worm. Really? I think I was duped. But this is for money, so hopefully, he'll fix me up right.
