Early Morning

I've been awake since nearly three o'clock this morning but in that morning sleepy daze. Aware and awake but still sleeping in a way. I made Italian Beef yesterday and that's what I plan on having for lunch for a couple of days.

It's just an incredible and easy recipe to put together and let cook for hours. Get a roast, a crock pot, some sweet pepper rings in a jar (up to three jars depending on the size of your crock pot) a packet of zesty Italian dressing mix, a little beef broth, and the rest with water to cover the roast.

Put all of the ingredients into the crock pot, roast on the bottom and pour the jars of peppers over it as well as the dressing mix, pour in a little beef broth, and let cook for ten to twelve hours on high.

Take a fork and separate the beef, it should fall apart very easily but get the fat out of there. Scoop out the peppers and put them onto the beef and mix them with the meat, again with a fork. Serve on dinner roll or a bun. You'll be in meat lover's heaven for a good twenty minutes.

The Date and I watched the first season of Breaking Bad yesterday and then Thing 2 and us watched Insidious. She's been wanting to see that for a long time so we rented it and gave it a spin. It was ok but I believe Thing 2 is getting to the age where she realizes horror movies aren't really scary anymore. The Date even said it wasn't very scary. I thought it had a decent story, it crossed over into hokey a couple of times though.

The really bad bad guy that they were setting up the movie for really didn't do much in the end. That kind of sucked as it would have been more fun to unleash that creature instead of letting him almost disappear from the screen.

Breaking Bad is a very good series. The first season is only seven episodes long but we both believe we can get into it. Yeah it's a tough subject to watch as it involves making meth but it's really got enough humor to offset a lot of that horror. It's got drama by the shovelful though and situations pop up that really make you either laugh or cringe or both.

Give it a watch.
