On Sunday we are starting a confirmation class at a nearby Episcopal Church we are interested in. This class will help us know more about the local church and the greater Episcopal church. It will last six weeks and could lead to us joining. I am excited about getting started and seeing what God might have in store for us. We have been visiting some churches locally but are settling down for awhile. It should be fun.

Pesto Ranch Chicken with Root Vegetables

- Medium bag baby carrots
- Small bag red potatoes
- 4 shallots
- 1 jar prepared pesto (6 oz or so)
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Place carrots in bottom of large slow cooker. Cut potatoes in half and place on top of carrots; season liberally with salt and pepper. Rough cut shallots and cube butter; scatter both on top of potatoes. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and lay in single layer on top of everything.
In small bowl, mix together pesto (save the jar), ranch dressing mix, and minced garlic. Add about a half cup of hot water to the pesto jar; place lid on jar and shake well. Uncover and pour evenly into slow cooker. Spread pesto mixture in bowl evenly over chicken in slow cooker. Cover and cook for 6-8 hours on…

This is way cool. Very fitting tribute to two British institutions.

Very slowly, Americans are cutting the cord with traditional pay-television providers.It’s not the mass exodus that has been predicted, even though the alternatives to cable and satellite are extensive, convenient, and inexpensive.

For some this is a real choice to paying for both TV and Broadband at the same time. I still prefer to watch shows on a real TV and watching as it comes over the air live. Many folks will get a old school over-the-air antenna to get digital TV channels from their local broadcasters.
Doctor Who, The New Season Starts Tonight!
It
is a high holy day in the nerd/geek community today. A new season of Doctor Who is upon us. The Doctor and Clara are here to save the day. I am excited to see what adventures await. The one thing about this show is that it is fluid but also stays the same which is interesting for a time traveling Time Lord. I predict tonight is going to be good on BBC America.
