Oh what a GREAT Teaser we had this week!!!!
Before I get down to business, I think I’ll go ahead and tell you WHO our fabulous Guest Teaser was and give them their BADGE OF THANKS for helping make our Teasers so much fun every week! This photo was sent to us by our friend Sarge (the Pawlice Commissioner of Blogville). Thanks Commish! This is for you…….
Let’s show you the photo once more before I tell you where Sarge’s family took this photo……………….OKEE DOKEE??????? Mr. Silver Briefcase – please pop that photo up on the screen for our visitors will ya ?
Neato photo isn’t it? It was taken at Little Round Top, Gettysburg PA, USA. On July 2, 1863, the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg, Union forces seized this high ground and held it throughout the remainder of the battle. This photo was taken from inside the monument looking out over the site. Here are two other shots Sarge sent in so you can see more………….
WAY cool photos and now for the NEWS you’re waiting to hear……………………..first of all, who commented first yesterday? Some of you who follow comments know that my buds from Facebook Oliver and Calvin were FIRST! This is for you guys:
My FIRST RIGHT GUESSER was my buddy and pal who is becoming a force of nature in the Tuesday Teaser Department (watch out Easy) is Raz from Friends Furever ! This is for you my friend:
If anyone else guessed Gettysburg, then you get a RIGHT GUESSER badge! WOOT!
AND, of course, those of you who were wrong – or had no clue on today’s Teaser, you have the right to add to your collection of GREENIES!
Now that wasn’t very painful was it? Certainly not for Raz – but maybe just a TWINGE from everyone else? Never fear -there’s always NEXT Tuesday……..and I just KNOW you’ll be here straining your eyes and using google search like mad so you can be FIRST……..yep – I know my audience by now don’t I ?? HAHAHA
NOW, for PART TWO of today’s blog post………..why PART TWO? Well, because it’s Bacon’s SHOPPING AROUND THE WORLD DAY! And you know I try to post for that occasion even though it means “double blog” stuff on Wednesdays once a month. Oh well………….this month’s challenge by Bacon is to post a recipe and ingredients for “ANYTHING WITH PASTA” !! Well, we do love our pasta around here (not me of course but my Mom and Dad are pasta-holics for sure). What I’m going to do is an old favorite which I think we MIGHT have actually blogged about on a previous “SHOPPING” but so what – some things should be repeated right? This is one of Mom’s favorite QUICKIE recipes and my Dad insists she make it A LOT. I’m OK with it because I always get a tiny bit of cooked hamburger!!
MOM’S HAMBURGER STROGANOFF
Ingredients:
1 lb. hamburger (1 lb. Lean Ground Beef – $5.99)
Sour Cream (amount depends on your taste!) (16 oz. $1.29)
Flat Pasta Noodles (1 bag egg noodles $1.95)
1 Can Cream of Mushroom Soup ($.97)
2 cloves garlic chopped (or more if you’re a garlic-a-holic) (50 cents a clove!)
Brown the burger with the garlic…………….drain……….add cream of mushroom soup and as much sour cream as you like. I probably put about half a container in – we LOVE sour cream and it mixes well with the soup…….also, you MIGHT need to add a little bit of milk to thin the “sauce” down to make it the consistency you like!!
Cook the noodles………………….add salt and pepper to taste for the sauce………and MAN OH MAN IS THIS DELICIOUS AND INEXPENSIVE!
There you have it!
A double blog – TWICE as much
Sammy as you thought you’d get!
Hugs, Sammy
Well done everyone! Yummy recipe too Sammy — don’t you like hamburger?

I love hamburger but just a tiny little taste………..most things I’m insisting on having a sample of – sometimes it’s a WINNER and sometimes it’s in the YUCKY department, but whatever Mom and Dad are eating, I want to at least KNOW ABOUT IT! HAHAHA

Concats Olver, Calvin and Raz! Oh boy I was completely wrong… think we send the new glasses back to the store huh? Sammy that sounds eggs-tremely tasty… sadly european peeps are not able to make sour cream…that’s scandalous… can we replace it with creme fraiche too?
LikeLiked by 1 person
I think your Mom’s glasses are OK – and I’m glad you haven’t had a chance to EAT them yet! I think crème fraiche would work in the recipe instead of sour cream but just adding regular milk to thin out the soup will also work. Mom discovered the sour cream thing but prior to that had just used milk. It’s a tasty and VERY EASY recipe – Mom gives me a little bit of the “gravy” and since I like sour cream, that’s THE BEST.
Happy Wednesday!

Concats to Oliver and Calvin, and Raz. My mum was sure that it was in Ephesus because the arch is the same shape and the outlook was so similar. The only thing she had doubts about is that the arch looked quite a bit narrower than the arch of the Koressos Gate.

Others guessed Ephesus too! Interesting photo really isn’t it……the arch fooled people a bit I think……..and it’s a “bumpy and lumpy” landscape which is a little bit puzzling too.

Thanks for the pawsome badge! We’re excited to have guessed right again. Mom went to Gettysburg with HER Mom and her Aunt when she was young (87 bazillion years ago). It was a really cool place to visit.
That recipe sounds wonderful! Mom is going to add it to her recipe box!!!!

You can’t eat right when you’re (a) on vacation and (b) having a blast……they just don’t go together with watching your diet! She’s determined – she will do it – I know she will and so does Mom. On the recipe – Mom sometimes puts chopped onions in there too – AND also adds extra mushrooms once in a while because she and Dad love sautéed onions and mushrooms. Talk about not dieting – this probably is a “heart attack in a frying pan” but Mom says “WHAT A WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”.
