Sloppy Joe's, Marbles' Eye and present wrapping!

The sloppy joes were ok. Terence really liked them, I was impartial (but I'm not a big ground beef eater so...). I'll probably make them again though, just for him :)

Marbles' eye looks much better, I'm thinking maybe she'll be ok without a vet appt. I'll keep a close eye on it though. I think we'll seperate them for the christmas holidays when we go to Dryden. I don't need to come home to dead or maimed cats.

And now, it's present wrapping time! I might try to make some goodies as well, maybe some cookies (Terence's favourites) and cinnamon buns (cuz Daddy likes them oh so much).

Sloppy Joe's

This is the recipe I'm using for supper tonight, I hope it's tasty!


1 lb ground beef
2-3 stalks celery, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon vinegar



1. In a large skillet, brown ground beef, celery and onion.
2. Drain the fat
3. Stir in remaining ingredients, simmer covered, 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. If Joes appear too'loose', leave cover off and let moisture evaporate.
5. Cook until it's the consistency you like for serving on toasted buns.
