Ham, Sauerkraut and Apple Rolls on Cheese Potatoes
Step-by-step directions with pictures!
I think swiss or cheddar cheese would
go good with this.

Not been moving the greatest since yesterday.
My back, well it's on my backside but in my hip
area, has been hurting lots.
Then for some reason my hand are swelled
up, throbbing and hurting from carpal tunnel.
Hope Santa brings me a case of ibuprofen
in my stocking this year. I'm gonna need it!
I still have a few things to wrap. Been trying
to find boxes to put things in to wrap but
have been afraid to look for them behind
shopping centers ever since security stopped
us one day and said we were stealing them
out of the dumpster! I'll never get over that!
Can't wait til 5:00pm when my honey gets home!
3 days off for him then 2 days work
then 5 days off. Any extra help around
here will be so appreciated!
I'd work on Christmas dinner
stuff but there's nothing to make ahead of time
and no cookie or goodies to make.
So I guess I'm kinda bored at the moment
with nothing to do or bake.
Well I just checked the mail and saw
I got 2 magazines, both Whole Living
from Martha Stewart. Got this
with some of my points accrued with
one of my survey sites I do.
Soooo gonna go and read those
and if I find anything of interest in them
I'll be sure to post it.
And hopefully the ibuprofen will kick in soon.
Also have been doubling my dose of
vitamin d3 to 4,000 iu because I have
been feeling soooo tired. Might up
it another notch to 6,000 iu's if this
doesn't help the tiredness.

2:00pm

Couldn't take it anymore and had to go
make something.
So I made up a dozen pickled eggs.
I threw a little of this and a little of that in it.

Boil eggs, drain in collander and let sit while you make
this below. Once cool you can remove
shells and place in a large, glass jar.
.


1 15 ounce can sliced beets & juice
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup splenda
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon garlic
2 Tablespoon horseradish
1 Tablespoon steak sauce (or worcestershire sauce)

Reuse saucepan from eggs and add
the above ingredients in it.
Bring to a boil for a couple minutes.

I cut the top off a 2 liter pop bottle
and used it to funnel the above into.
You will have to chop the beets up
a little to get through the funnel.
Shake the jar once full to
distribute the contents.
Allow contents to cool some.
Then put in fridge for a couple days.

I've always wanted to make some deviled
eggs with pickled eggs so just might
do that for Christmas dinner.

Hmmm, might try these sometime
and add a can of beer into the mix.
Ok, probably not for the kids but I usually
make these for my hubby only so I'm
sure he wouldn't mind!
