Didnt forget about you all, just adjusting to changes here at our house.  I am back to work full time.  I have to get into the rhythm of my new schedule.  I could wax on poetic about change but I will spare you what you already heard a million times.  It just is what it is!

These are delicious!  Next time I will try pork mixed in with the beef.
