I am under 55 recipes* now--I must get this done! At least to prove something to myself if not the Handyman...
because...
...about 22 years ago, 50 of my closest friends and family, who had been on an
e-mail forum with me, sent in recipes in different categories and we compiled a cookbook.
I decided to count those down!
Why?
because one night I was looking thru the cookbook and I said, "I should make every recipe in here for my blog."
The Handyman/Mayor, who thinks he knows me better than I know myself, said "you'll never EVER do that."
Well, maybe I will! Maybe I'll show him!
Which brings us to Diana's 'Easy Crockpot Chicken'
**********************************
I just need to hurry up and 'get 'er done'
Then I'll show him!
And as always, it's not about the quality of the photos, it's about the family, friends and fun we have all had together!
This is a great chicken to throw in the crockpot and come home and have dinner all ready.
And you get a yummy sauce to put over rice or on mashed potatoes. A mushroomy sauce.
I'm pretty sure I used skinless thighs, which take a strange photo, BUT they are moist and delicious.

Diana--her one and only recipe in this cookbook countdown.
Hello--goodbye!
Diana moved away to Colorado about ten years ago. Our communication has been sadly, not so great.
But when Diana lived here in Winnemucca, we had such a good time together.
We traveled. For work.
Okay, we traveled in rural Nevada. For work.
One fun place was the Bunny Ranch in Parhump, Nevada.
So, yeah--prostitution is legal is some counties in the state of Nevada.
I'm not here to argue yay or nay in support thereof, BUT once when Diana and I went to a tourism conference (Rural Round-up) we got to tour the Bunny Ranch.
It's a brothel.
It was nice. And clean. And had some really interesting rooms.
Our conversation went like this:
Me: Oh wow!
Diana: Holy Crap!
Me: This is nice!
Diana: What's that pole doing in the middle of the room? Where's the bed?
It went on from there.
I will leave the rest of the conversation to your imagination.
I write Diana letters sometimes-- she is not a good snail mailer. (sigh) Maybe she'll read this and feel guilty. 😂
It's worth a try, right?
I don't have any photos of us together! That's a crime.
But here are photos I do have of Diana.
She and her husband Jeff, helping with the para-mutual betting at the mule races.
Diana and her husband Jeff--motorcycle riders!
At the Grand Canyon.
And just Diana, at her house--getting ready to make some Easy Crockpot Chicken perhaps?
Here is the hard part...
Because I have miscounted numerous times, I feel untrustworthy to say how many recipes I have to post.
I think it's 35. Or 46. (I think I have 46 more to post, but 35 more to make)
(It would have been easy if I had gone in cookbook order, but no, I jumped all over the place and everytime I have to make a new one I have to flip thru all the pages--every single 'unnumbered' page, to find one that doesn't have a check mark!
sigh.
Anyway, this is recipe #321
Obviously, I didn't get this countdown accomplished in 2022, but I have high hopes for 2023.
That's my story!
