DDA Chapter 18

[PNO4TE]

It is helping keep me awake! I should be cuddling with Gary, but I am to pooped. I know ewwww, but I do feel bad.

Hey... he didn't cook dinner for you either!

Pictures as promised

The both look wonderful and she looks so happy

Poor Alton!

You go right ahead with your sparkling wine float. What kind of ice cream do you have?

I've never had a wine float, but Chambord and vanilla ice cream is delicious. Mix it in the blender. Now I'm hungry.

I am a grump...

But I think I have a right to be! I was at work this morning by 9:00 and before I left Bob and Kristin suggested that we meet when I was done for dinner out. Now, you all know that we have not been dining out like we usually do, so this was something I was looking forward to.

I got a text from Kristin about 3:30 saying we weren't going to go out, that she was going to cook dinner. OK, I could deal with that. So I went home about 5:30 and Bob was sitting on the couch watching TV. Kristin was in bed taking a nap. I asked about dinner and Bob said it was up to Kristin... I waited an hour and she was still asleep so I asked Bob if he wanted to go get something to eat. He was not interested and said he was going to take a nap!

So... I looked around the kitchen and pantry and I honestly didn't see anything that I considered to be fixings for a "nice" dinner. What I saw was what I heated for myself. That made me angry and I am not very happy with the other two occupants of my house right now. I feel as if someone could have had something ready for me to eat when I got home from working all day. After all, Bob didn't work at all and Kristin only worked 3 hours.

OK, thanks for letting me grump away. I feel better now that I got it off my chest. But... I also have a hankering for something for dessert and there is nothing here.

I'm sorry Elin. I think you have a right to be annoyed with them.

I have a funfetti cake here that I whipped up today. Should I run a slice over to you?

 

[PNO4TE]

I did, Jeff was putting up the tools from working in the yard.

well, then he is off the hook.

 

[MinnieMouseMom]

I would serve this at a dinner party in flutes!! It is delicious.

You're an inventor!!

 

[PNO4TE]

Everything okay?

Alyssa said she saw you today when we drove by the studio. She said you were walking in the door and you had on a red sweater. Was she right?

Keep reading ... and she is right! I did have on a red sweater. Still do.

Holy cow, you all went on a post spree today!

Janet - Garrett and his date look so cute together! Did you end up getting the necklace for her?

Thank you Tammi! Yes I got her a necklace, I hope she likes it. They were going to exchange their gifts at dinner, so I will find out tonight.

 

[PNO4TE]

That looks really good! So how does it taste?

YUMMY! Kristin decided to make one with her soy ice cream and says it is good too. We will probably have to try another one. Just to be sure, you know....

 

[babytrees]

with all the wine talk (which, shoot me, I do not usually like) I made myself an adult drink. Tastes good

in a little bit PBS is running one of my favorite musicals "Singing in the Rain"...so I will be getting off to watch that in bed with a book. (I can't do just one thing)

keep reading.... I think I found some therapy. But thanks for the offer of cake.

(Elizabeth might take you up on it, though!)

Jeff is just getting up to dish up some cookies and cream ice cream here

 

[PNO4TE]

I think this whole thing is just so sweet, Janet. Should I remind you that Bob and I had our first date at his senior prom?

 

[Tammi67]

OK - the ice cream has been purchased and the Shiraz is in the freezer.... stand by!

I can't wait to find out how this turns out!

 

[my3princes]

I made hot pastrami sandwiches for dinner. Then the kids had some Valentine's Cake. I had a small piece too I knew that we were going to the Aquatics Center so I thought it would be okay. The kids swam, I did a quick set of weight training (my arm muscles trembled for almost an hour afterwards), Chris did spinning. Everyone got exercise. Now we are all just couch potatoes

There is room in the lifeguard course so I will be taking that next Friday night, Saturday and Sunday. It sounds a lot easier than when I took it 25 years ago

 

[Tammi67]

I love Alton Brown and "Good Eats" too. He is definitely married with at least one child! He just seems above it all, kind of... not sure how I mean that exactly.

Peculiar?

 

[marcij]

me some Orin Swift!!

I am very impressed. What else do you like of his?

 

[Tammi67]

I would serve this at a dinner party in flutes!! It is delicious.

A winner! YAY!

How has your evening been?
