The What's For Dinner Thread - August '09(recipe index in OP)

Yes and that's exactly what it is, ear infection, but I can't figure out why it keeps on happening.

That stinks!

I hate underwires.

I do too! If I find a bra I like that is underwire I will take the wire out.

Have to go pop some microwave popcorn and snacks together then off to the movie.

No I don't think it would be too sweet. Does your grocery stores carry Iron chef sauces? They make a really good general tso sauce I also like sesame garlic.

No, I've never seen those sauces here.

I copy recipes by taste. I can figure most recipes from restaurants by taste. Unusual spices throw me though.

I wish I could do that, you're good!

 

[Glynis]

I agree!!!

I'm not real good at looking at a recipe and judging the outcome. It's a take off on Gen Tso's chicken. I saw it today and am considering trying it, does anyone think this will be very sweet, if so it probably wouldn't work for Johnny:

It looks good to me, but then I like sweet with my meat!

Hi all! I am reading but I am down with the Nola bug It came on last night while was shopping adn is making me groggy. I'll catch up, just wanted to drop by.

Unfortunately I'm battling the darn vertigo again, not sure why this keeps happening.

I hope you both feel better soon!!

All dressed up with no place to go......no Billy Elliot for us.
We are back home, DM has a bad stomach virus.

Aimee what are your Christmas dates now?

DARN! Will you be able to see it soon?

My dates now are Dec 17-26 (now - I have only booked our airfare there since it was a fantastic deal ($69 minus $25 coupon!) but I'm still waiting on a great return fare.

 

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

Maria [/B] So sorry your plans changed. Did Emily ever hear where she was going to be relocated to for the play?

No, she & the 3 other girls are still waiting. I hope she gets NYC but if not I think she will decide on passing due to the distance. I wouldn't mind the 6 months in London but we don't want her uncomfortable.

Ann, I think Williamsburg is nice but maybe to quiet, especially that time of year. Maybe Hersey Park & Williamsburg?
Williamsburg & Charleston?

 

[bigmerle1966]

Well my free movie turned in to a $30 one, plus popcorn! Went to the park, watched the little cartoons the movie guy shows first and then he says "Now enjoy our movie tonight- Babe the Gallant Pig" Seems there was a problem with the licensing agreement and he couldn't get M vs A! And we weren't there when he started so we missed that announcement.

We were going to stay and watch it but it was a little chilly and the boys really didn't want to see that movie so I took them to see "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" For those of you who are going to see it keep this in mind, the first Star Trek movie!

FYI, my DH confessed his love for you this morning when he read this!!!!
Next vacation maybe another time of year.

How is DM?

I skimmed through but do not have time to respond...sending hugs to everyone!

Tom's Mom and Charlene and family came by yesterday and we went out to eat. This is Tom's last weekend here. Andrew also had his first soccer game and we had landscapers here all day doing our wall. This is a project that we were going to take on for years and it just never happened. We would have killed each other. You should have seen the guy climbing trees to get the vines out. Then they were hoisting the saw up to him to use and he was swinging that around...nuts!

Thank you Sheryl for the reminder...I wanted to tell you guys that when we were making the decision to move, it was very difficult. And I was talking to my sister Jane about it and she said something along these lines to me..."Look at all the great friends you made on the computer. You will be fine...meeting new people and keeping the friends that you have made all around the country". It was just comforting to hear and to know that my family knows the wonderful friendships that we all have made here. Love you guys!

Not sure about dinner. We have a couple things to do around here today and the Giants are on late...so we may have some munchie type stuff.

My sister is going on vacation again so I am having my Mother here for a week or so...with everything going on, I am not going to be on that much...I will be skimming though.

Have a great day!

How true! I am amazed at how many friends I have made. You know we'll always be here for you.

Hoping your Mom's visit goes well.

Hugs to everyone I miss being able to be here more. My hip & back are not adjusting to well I'm prying it gets better.

Everyone have a GREAT day

 

[Glynis]

Well, it was another long, night here. Timothy was cranky, feverish, and come to find out he was cutting 2 new teeth. They finally broke through sometime during the night, but it was a long process! Poor little guy! None of my other kids ever had such a hard time with teeth.

Dinner tonight will be pork chops with rhubarb chutney. It's a new recipe I've been dying to try, so I'll let you all know how it is. I'm also making some brown rice to go with it, and some kind of veggie. Not sure what, though. Got to see what's available in the garden and in the freezer.

Have a good day, all! I'm heading back to bed for a while!

 

[HERSEY]

Lauri I hope your pain goes away.

Yeah for me I just fixed a leak in my downstairs bathroom. I love it when I can fix things. If only I can fix everything I would be a very happy camper.

I think I am going to try Tyler's ultimate beef stew today. I let everyone know how it turns out. And darn double darm I have no red wine I guess a trip to world market for wine is in order

 

[TigerKat]

Lauri - I will keep you in my prayers, hoping your pain goes away.

Glynis - Poor little guy, hopefully you can get some rest today.

Janice - I am very impressed with you fixing the leak!!!!! Can't wait to hear how the stew came out.

 

[Disney Ron]

Lauri, please take it easy. Sorry you are not well.

Glynis, poor little guy. Hope you both get some needed rest.

Janice, what a woman!!! I wish I was handy. My DM was always the handy one when I grew up.

WFD- I made meatballs this morning. My DH just wants some plain meatballs with no sauce on buttered french bread for dinner. Easy but one of his favorites. I will probably have a traditional meatball sub for me with sauce please!

 

[scotlass]

[Disney Ron]

Vickie, congrats on the newest clan member. Much happiness to them all.
You must really be looking forward to your holiday!!!

Kathy, how is Kyle feeling?? Can you believe the house is finally sold!?!?!

 

[TigerKat]

Kathy, how is Kyle feeling?? Can you believe the house is finally sold!?!?!

Much better, thanks for asking. No, I honestly don't think it has sunk in that the house is a done deal but that nagging weight is definitely off my shoulders.

 

[Where'sPiglet?]

No, I honestly don't think it has sunk in that the house is a done deal but that nagging weight is definitely off my shoulders.

Perhaps it will sink in when the mortgage does not come due next month?
