Something About Nothing..........#11

[schumigirl]

I'm sure I was supposed to do something today.........but I still can't remember what it was?

Was a beautiful day but now at nearly 7pm.......it's cold. Heating is on for a while. Although I am about to have some White choc ice cream........lush!

Nearly the weekend

We need a wine glass smiley.........large one.........

 

[macraven]

well come on over to my house.

i'll break out a bottle of wine and share it with youse....

 

[schumigirl]

Make up a spare room..................


I remembered what I was supposed to do............nothing urgent......sort out travel insurance still not got it sorted..........Latest we've ever got it.....usually as soon as flights are booked we get it.......better late than never. Will do it tomorrow as if I do it having had wine......well......

A few years ago I had a massive clear out of gadgets and gizmos that I hardly used.......like pasta makers, juicers and strange things I'm not quite sure what they were..........they're making their way back into my life.

I bought an ice cream maker today and a new kitchen aid mixer thing. DH just shook his head and smiled. I did promise him home made ice cream tomorrow night

Never quite knew why I had a pasta maker........we don't eat an awful lot of that in this house........oh well.......

 

[macraven]

but if you ever get the urge to have home made noodles, you'll be all set up.......
just like the boy scouts saying, be prepared.



i'm not into the pasta makers.
dinners at my place are eaten like it is a race.
they can chow down and be done with the entire meal in 5 minutes, make it 3 minutes if a game is on tv.

after i spend hours shopping and preparing a meal,
it's over quickly.

then the males all disappear during clean up the kitchen time.

this is why i don't own a pasta maker.

 

[schumigirl]

I think I used the pasta maker twice.....maybe 3 times in however many years I had it. No, pasta is not a popular choice for us. Kyle does love wholemeal pasta and of course Mac an cheese.......so yes I don't miss that.......I do like noodles though....but now it's rice noodles I have to eat if I eat noodles and they are tasteless. So I don't bother. Don't blame you for not having one........easier to buy fresh from a deli.

Sweet potatoes for me most nights. I'm the only one that likes them.

Ok......brag moment........I don't do the cleaning up.......DH does that usually......he is usually finished first though......so I don't complain about making all the meals. I do clean up as I go along though as I hate mess. We have black shiny granite worktops in kitchen and they need a polish after you wipe them........I do usually have to do that as he does forget that bit.....every night!!!! Lol........

Hi everyone! I'm doing well and now that dad is home things should hopefully go back to normal. Mr Bluer and I need a vacation from our hectic life but it might be a little bit until we can get away. It is now time to play doctor at home for a little bit until dad is up and running on his own. He is doing well just needs a little help from time to time.

Lol.......just told him that.........he said I'd miss him too much if I did....... He does take the trash stuff down to the end of the driveway.........I hate that job!!

It is exhausting caring for a relative like that. But at least he's home and it gets a bit easier then.
Take it easy when you can

joy joy (as ren and stimpy used to say...)

delighted to hear from you and the update the homefront is doing well

yes, you definetly will need a mini trip planned out in the coming month so you can relax and have fun.



do i need a magic ball to guess where you will be going for fun and relaxation.........

 

[schumigirl]

Had a blonde moment yesterday........thought I had lost posts in my trip report.......sent a pm to one of the webmasters asking very nicely if they had been removed or lost for whatever reason...........doh!!! I found the post that I thought was lost......on the other persons trip report............

I knew I'd had a conversation with someone about club level at RP......yes.....on their trippie!!! Very blonde moment. So emailed webmaster and apologised for my error..........no wine was involved in my error.......

Another beautiful day here, bit chilly but warm in sunshine.......hopefully have some barbeque food if this keeps up this weekend..........

Have a great Friday and weekend too

 

[macraven]

i'm hungry.
now i want bbq food..

 

[Lynne G]

Hmm, just got home from a very long drive. Tired, but at least I can crash on my own bed. Gues I have a fir bed, as the one I slept on this past week was was too soft for me.

Thanks for the update Mrs. Bluer. It is very had to be caretakers. Vacation is needed when all settles. Hang in there. Glad Dad is home now.

BBQ. Hmmm, after eating out all week, my kids let nothing in the kitchen, so take out tonight. No shopping until tomorrow, I have to go through all the mail, and big pile of wash. So much for my week-end.

BBQ food is what we're doing tomorrow night........will set a place for you.......steak......burgers.....lamb leg steaks marinated in red wine and assorted herbs.......lush.........and chicken kabobs.......healthy salad too......will expect you at 6.30

I did it again. Only tonight I forgot to put my sweet potato in the oven!!! Oh well.......pulled pork and salad was just fine......the boys had fries with their Angus burgers..........

Nothing planned this weekend apart from watching Bahrain Grand Prix........and hopefully having the grill out and barbequeing Saturday and Sunday.......I'm learning the lingo mac......I'm grilling now........

Nearly bed time here.......definite lazy weekend ahead...........

 

[schumigirl]

Won't be sitting outside today...........ffffreezing.......well ok not freezing but there's a cold breeze coming off the sea.......so will grill outside, but eat inside......where it's warm. Strange as its so sunny outside, and boiling hot here in the garden room which has huge windows so I spend a lot of time here........

Using new ice cream maker today for first time......making white chocolate and coconut flavour..........yum!!

Sat watching old black and white Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes movie........my favourites!

Have a good Saturday

 

[macraven]

people must have a life.
it's dead here....


hope all are having a great weekend day.
anyone out mowing their yards yet?

with the heavy rainstorms we had about 2 weeks back, grass is growing and next weekend we'll have to mow.
well, i won't mow but Mr Mac will mow.

Someone else with nothing to do this Saturday night...........but I have DH sat beside me.....well other side of room.....nice bottle of red wine open.......not too shabby!

Got plans for next Saturday though......yay........got 10 coming for dinner!!!! Eek!!! No vegetarians thank goodness.........only got dessert planned so far......pavlova, some flavour of home made ice cream and a cheesecake....flavour to be decided yet. Everyone's bringing an appetiser or nibble type food.....so just main meal to think of. Maybe rib of beef.

But tonight is for smooshing along the settee with DH.............

Our grass needs cutting.......it should have really been done today as we've had no rain for ages.....so no excuses........but we will get around to it...........well like you mac I won't mow.......DH or DS does that.......I kinda mooch around and look busy when it comes to gardening...........

 

[macraven]

well, since you are 6 hours different with our time zones, i'll have you to post back and forth with until your wine bottle is empty...........


i can't remember the last time i had 10 guests in my house.
just order in pizza and make the desserts.
that's what i would do.....


saturdays here are dull when the weather isn't good.
it's low 50's now but very windy.

i would prefer orlando weather any day of the week than what i get here.

 

[macraven]

reread your post and just noticed the smooshing

i remember the thead where i used that word......
when i was talking about smooshing pennies..

you should use smooshing more in your posts....

It's been raining here for about 8 days! Been working on the pool today. Aggravating as usual! Having a few beers takes the edge off. Sounds like everyone's weather has been less then perfect.

 

[macraven]

pcstang, isn't it unusual to be working on the pool in 40 degree weather?
