My dog climbed up on the footstool next to me
where I was crocheting granny squares.
She was shivering, SO I covered her with GS's...

She re-positioned a couple of times
but those squares stayed on her...

She didn't like the one on her head, so she knocked it off
and went back to sleep.
Silly girl!

Making fresh tomato/basil sauce for dinner tonight.
Nothing like the smell of fresh garlic, bell pepper, basil, thyme
and tomatoes in the kitchen. Yum.

1 package of Italian sweet sausage
three medium size tomato
1 green bell pepper
4 cloves of garlic
fresh basil
sugar
fresh thyme
3 tbsp water
 6oz tomato paste
salt/pepper/oregano to taste
Brown beef/sausage over med/high, add garlic, chopped peppers
stir till brown
add diced fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, sugar, fresh thyme, paste, water and seasoning.
Simmer over medium heat till bubbles, reduce heat and let simmer for a 3 hours,
stirring every 30 minutes.
Will serve four to six people over spag OR

Really good next day too!

And my daughter gets it from...?
I wonder who...
Me Perhaps?
