I Had a Quiet Saturday

This dinner of steak  and oven-roasted french fries was the highpoint of the day.
DH did the grilling while I made the fries.

They were so good and easy to make. Just slice up fresh potatoes into a stick shape, sprinkle with olive oil (or vegetable oil) and seasoning. I used a french fry seasoning, which was basically salt, pepper and paprika. Then bake in a 425 degree oven until almost tender. Mine took about 20 minutes.  I then put them under the broiler for a few minutes to get them nicely browned.

Freshly-baked M&M cookies served as a sweet after dinner treat.



I spent some time today sewing counter mats from quilt blocks that I had no other use for. 
They are a nice big size. As you can see the red ones easily accommodate a 9 x 13-inch cake pan.

Right now I am watching the Florida Republican Presidential Debate. I expect the remainder of my day to be quiet and relaxing.  I hope yours is, too.

    It was not so quiet here today...I had a 5 year old motor mouth for most of the day..but I wouldn't change a thing.

    That's a really good idea about the counter mats. I should make some of those. I am always grabbing individual pot holders to throw under a hot dish. GREAT idea! xo Diana
