Dinner may be similar. I bought the stuff for DH to make goulash yesterday so if he decides to make that tonight then I will have to scrounge up something for myself out of the freezer. I can't stand goulash! Yuck!

If he does not make goulash then I think I will cook some pork chops. I have some hot and spicy shake n' bake to put on it and we can have a big salad with it. I will also probably open up a can of carrots for the kids. They will be thrilled. I am suprised my kids have not turned orange yet.

Brandi - I ended up with wine...I had to do it like shooters in the kitchen so she didn't know. Lovely.

John is on his way home and I am over being mad...and I got Samantha a great surprise I read about on the boards today. We are dining at Coral Reef for lunch on Friday. They are going to have a diver in the tank take a sign in the water that reads "Happy 4th Birthday Samantha, Love Mommy, Daddy and Haley"....I also ordered a cake! The woman I spoke with was soooo nice. and I actually made the dining reservation at the restaurant podium. I am not telling John so I think it will be great...(and if I already posted this ignore me. My wine shots are getting to me)

I had to dig around the closets for some warm clothes. Jasmine, the fairy and my half pirate costume will be cold Thurs night. My sister is BEYOND excited but her costume is supposed to arrive tomorrow. She has been tracking it. I also had to did out CJS for John and I am not quite she how the belt thingie goes but hey, he can at least do that for himself.

Well, I better get back to packing...I am going to dread opening this thread come Sunday night.

Samantha will love that sign, and the cake! How fun, can't wait to see the pics. You are a very forgiving woman to be over the in-law thing so quickly. I bet the wine helped, I am going to try that next time. My MIL is here right now but it's only noon. I guess it's 5 somewhere though, maybe I will give it a shot!

Becka, What is your version of Goulash?

I make a ground meat and bean casserole type dish that my DH claims is like what he knows as goulash...

My mom never cooked anything that she called goulash so i have nothing to compare it to.

 

[becka]

I also should probably mention that I am DS's hero today!

Yesterday at the store I bought two big pumpkins for carving, the stuff to make pumpkin pie and Halloween candy - including what to a 4 year old boy appears to be the coolest candy ever invented. Ladies and Gentlemen I bought gummy body part candy. Yes if you stop by my house on Halloween you can have a gummy tongue, finger, foot, etc.. Nathan thought it was the best thing since sliced bread and was begging for a tongue this morning!

We are going to carve the pumpkins and make the pie on Sunday and he is way too excited. I love how much fun he is on holidays! He also wants to make bat cookies but I am a little leary because of what happened with the last bat that came into my house!

 

[klineyqueen]

Hey!!! What happened here?

Not Becka, but we do the same as you kristin. I have heard of a variety that involves cubed beef, cooked for hours. We do it like a very thick stew up on the stove top.

We do goulash here with elbow macaroni and hamburger pasta sauce. It is kind of a cross between mac and cheese and spaghetti.

My boss keeps falling alseep, so she just laughs at me, when I pull the window up. We are even.

Ummm....we just call that macaroni and beef.

I call it...Blech!

Is this going to be one of those chicken pot pie debates?

The goulash I know (but don't often make) is the beef cubes/tips in a sauce with a lot of paprika; serve it over egg noodles or rice...

We need to send Tana out to KFC again and see what she comes back with!

 

[TanaL]

I am sure that could be arranged! Only problem would be getting them in the group for dinner. I wouldn't be able to make ressies for thiem until late November, if Military rates are still available by then.

Caroline, what about making the ressie now to take advantage of the discount, but buying trip insurance in case the timing doesn't work out?
