Yesterday (are you singing the Beatle song yet)

Yesterday was truly a bad day. Woke up at 5:30 am like normal. When into the kitchen to get my morning coffee and my 2 fur babies had turned my kitchen (witch is small anyway) into a canine toilet. Grrrr....2 towels and 1/2 roll of paper towels later, the fire in the wood stove is being a bitch to get started. Grrr...work (all 3 1/2 hours of it) was ok. It's work so it can't get any worse. Get home and the neighbor brought down some meat (yeah, a good thing). Started on supper. We had meat, noodles, veggies and a couple of cans of mushrooms. Cool, I'll make a good old fashioned casserole. No mushroom soup, so brown gravy. No, with brown gravy it just turns into beef stew and I want that this weekend, not Monday night. Spaghetti sauce, no veggies don't go with tomatoe sauce, at least not tonight. I have a couple of packs of white cheese from past hamburger helpers I haven't used. I'll make a cheese sauce. Cook the meat. Cook the noodles. Open 2 cans of peas and 2 cans of mushrooms. Mix it all up together. Out of milk so I used the juice from the peas and mushrooms. And no cheese sauce, at least not the yellow sauce I was looking for. I tasted it, it had a bit of cheese flavor but no sauce. I tear up a few slices of cheese and stir that in. It'll help I'm sure. Put a little shredded cheese on top (thought there was more in the bag) and put it in the oven. 350 degrees for 30 minutes. So I pull it out, not the casserole I was looking for. We eat it. It tasted good (would have been better with real cheese sauce) and nobody died. My hubby said I used to much of the juice but he's a man what does he know about magic. Anyway, that was yesterday, which is over and done with. I learned something. Bad days with bad endings don't mean the end of the world. Life goes on and tomorrow may be better. Tonight is going to be Elk meat with something. I've got 3-4 hours to figure out what to have with it, as it is in the oven now slow cooking.
