Warning bad news post so please read at your own risk!


I hesitate to post this here, mainly because I hate bringing this thread down & you are all having such fun, but since I did let you all know that I had to fly down to Florida as soon as we got back from HHI, because my mother had yet another blockage in her heart & I think it's only fair I keep you updated. We since found out it she was inoperable due to her age (77), emphazema, etc. & unfortunately she passed away yesterday. I am truly okay & at peace, especially since I got to say my goodbyes a few weeks ago. The last time I spoke with her was on was fittingly on Mother's Day. She is in a way better place than she had been in a very long time & truly she kept saying she was tired & she just wanted to go. She was back & forth from a rehab hospital to a regular hospital. She was on her death bed one minute & fine the next. She went back in the hospital Sunday due to congestive heart failure. They had her sitting in the chair yesterday & she asked to lay down because she was not feeling well & she died shortly after. The nurses say she passed peacefully. She is to be cremated & her remains sent up here for burial with my father. We are hoping for a graveside service next weekend so I probably won't be on much next week. But really I am fine & in fact had posted as usual yesterday, shortly after finding out. I was enjoying all the POC intrigue & didn't want to interrupt.

Sorry to hear your sad news.

Our thoughts are with you so that you may keep strong in the days ahead.

David & Family.

So dinner last nite at Buca de Peppa (or what-ever) was actually pretty good. Except for this twichy sensation I had in my stomach for a-while. <chuckles> I know it's just pasta - which is like $0.50 a box on sale. And a nice bottle of Ragu and Trader Joes' turkey balls would only cost me $5 to serve 4.... and the meal a de Buccas' ran just over $30 after adjustment for the $10 off coupon. But it did taste different from my Ragu and turkey balls.

Anyone know WHAT they do to make it have that taste? Is it the cheese? Is it olive oil? WHat is it? We had a futi de mare linguine and 2 kids' orders of spaghetti and meatball (1). No drinks except what came with the kids' meals. I liked it - but I could make six batches of TJ turkey balls and pasta for the same money. Maybe more...

If I made a seafood linguine - I can make a huge portion of clam sauce and linguine for under $7... which happens to be one of the only "good" dishes that I make for near scratch.

Oh well... what are you having (or have you HAD) for supper tonight? I'm having left overs plus I made some angle hair pasta because I was in the mood.

Gotta get one of the girls from school now.... Alicia got the other one because she wanted to go to the car wash with Mommy...

Cheers!

I too make a mean lingini with white clam sauce. Secret is "garlic" BAM!!!!

Also I make a delicious pasta carbonara!!! I am getting hungry right now!!!!!!!

Gotta go and eat!!!!


Karen

Also Tiramisu!!!!!!!

Okay Crash you're scaring me!

You should see what I didn't post....

I was afraid of offending some folks

so I'll just leave it up to your imagination!

How funny...

... when your post said "BAM"... I briefly thought about an early "version" of my secret recipie for clam sauce. It used to generate immediate and volumous GAS! "BAM"

Without the flames....

<chuckles>

and I do use tons and tons of garlic now. Ummmm....

I think I'll go make some clam sauce NOW!​

 

[allshookup]

Diane much and prayers for you and your family

Diane as one who had to say a peaceful and loving goodbye to my Mom a few years ago I want to extend my sincerest condolences to you. It is truly a blessing to have the opportunity to know that well deserved rest and freedom from suffering has come to someone you love so much and I know that will help sustain you. to you and your family!

The seashell and flowers are awesome. I wish I'd thought to install one of those when Jared was little.

As for that....that....clown?......good thing it's a urinal, because I think it would scare the pith out of little boys!

What time is dinner?????

[captaincrash]

Well...

.... the sad truth though is that my Clam sauce used to really be about THAT BAD with generating GAS. It was laughable for a while until some folks started asking for medication to deal with the gas intensity.

That said... I am going to step away in a moment (you've all heard me say that before repeatedly) ... to whip up some clam sauce. I think I have everything I need to make it.

AND... if I may say so - chuckles are sometimes an effective bandage when one is bruised or wounded. It works for me most of the time.

Now I'm off for a bit to get my sauce started. Alicia loves my sauce and always quips it's better then any restuarant. Plus I bought a seafood Cioppino base from Trader Joes yesterday that I want to try tonight. SO there's gonna be a lot of pasta to sample tonight.

 

[captaincrash]

Karen

Are you saying you're dressed for "my kind" of supper already?

​

 

[brack]

I support two teams.... Wales and whoever England are playing!!!

David

I am the same way with basketball ......

I support the University of North Carolina and whoever is playing "Dook" University.

This was beautifully spoken Mary. And everyone elses' remarks were also nicely put as well. I was the guy taking the short cut with the picture alone... but seeing as I too lost my Mom near 20 years ago - I have serious and real feelings about things like this. It was (and remains) easier for me to try and keep it simple.

Cheers... as I attempt to slip away again to get some pots and pans out for cioppino and clam sauces. So this only makes it the 2nd (or 3rd) time I'm saying I'm gonna go now.
