G-O-D and Beef

Just a couple of random things to talk about today.........


1)  Someone gave me this pamphlet this morning: 

I did open it and inside are some interesting musings about "the stench of the dying and the human waste", etc.  Hmm........thanks?  But I'm cool with Jesus, the devil does not "have a claim" on me.  To quote a song I've heard to the tune of OPP:  Are you down with G-O-D?!  Yeah, you know me!! 
No, really, I've heard this song.
As a side thought, is it blasphemous if I use WWJD to mean What Would Julie Do?  Some of you already know that my Catholic guilt makes me feel like I shouldn't even sing along to Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode.  I was 12 when the song came out.  I thought it was sinful then and I'm still not convinced it's o.k...........

2)  If you need a dinner idea, here's a quick, easy and delicious recipe for beef sandwiches in the slow cooker.  Put a 2-3 lb beef roast (pretty much any kind will work: rump, pot, etc.) in the slow cooker.  Empty a jar of mild giardiniera into the slow cooker.  Cook on low 8-10 hours.  It will shred apart and be great on yummy sandwich rolls.  I like to top mine with mozzarella cheese and put it in the toaster oven for a couple of minutes to melt the cheese and toast the roll a little.  So good and so easy!  Let me know if you try it!

  2. It's an Italian relish. We mostly use it on beef sandwiches. Your family is Italian, ask them if they know. Now I'm curious to see if it's more of a Chicago thing...

  4. I am upset with myself that I am Italian and never heard of this seasoning!! Needless to say, I am intrigued and will be looking at the spices the next time I hit the grocery store.
