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

[schumigirl]

Enjoy those ribs Mac.........no grilling for us today........making nice dinner for DH for Father's Day........asked DS if he was cooking........he said he would buy us takeout....lol.......so I'm cooking.

Hope all daddies have a great day..........


I was reading a trip report there and writer mentioned tourist in her area thought there were no grocery stores........reminded me somehow of the time we were coming home from a short trip to Amsterdam and an American lady asked us if we needed a special visa or something to come to Europe.........she looked genuinely confused when we told her the UK is in Europe

Babadook movie was worst movie I have ever watched. If you haven't seen it.......don't waste your time......donating it to charity shop tomorrow.

Have a great Sunday.......

Lol, DS sounds like me, takeout.

Happy Father's Day to all the fathers!

 

[pcstang]

Yep, losing part of your family.

Agreed. Hugs to your family.

 

[Lynne G]

Thanks all. After a nice wet pass by Stormy Bill, we have tropical weather.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.

We will be grilling tonight. No need to heat up the kitchen.

Yep, a trip to walmart always seems to take longer than expected. And when went to the one in DC, wine had to bought there too. Cannot do that where Keisha and I live.

Stay cool ya'all.

let me tell you about my day so far.
first, i woke up at 5 then drank 7 cups of coffee so i wouldn't be able to go back to bed.

then i started boiling the ribs on the stove.
i do this for 5 hours then let them cool, and later on the grill for a few hours.
started to do the cut up for potato salad, the 2 different pickles, celery and secret ingredient.
put it all aside for later.

then started to boil the eggs and potatoes.

when Ace hardware opened at 9 this morning, went there for a new gas tank.
can't risk running out of gas as those tanks generally only give 20 hours of cooking time.

made lunch for mr mac and myself.

now sitting down to dis a bit.

but went to check if i needed to change the water for the potatoes cooling in the sink.
all was fine.

starting typing here and thought to check on the mayo.
in the fridge, panicked as only have a little left there.
came back to dis more

now had to get up so thought i would get the other jar of mayo out of the pantry.
i have none.

back to the store for the second time today.
drats.

i dread doing one item shopping.
not hitting walmart as it is packed on sundays.
will go to Jewel instead and pay the higher price.

 

[schumigirl]

and secret ingredient.

That made me smile.

I have four or five recipes I won't share with anyone, no reason really..........one is a marinade/sauce is make for pork........one friend is so annoyed I won't tell her what's in it........she guessed most but there's one thing she can't guess and it drives her nuts........thing is.......it's so simple she would never think of it........lol

 

[macraven]

schumi, if someone you don't like very much asks for a recipe, give it to them but add things to the list or take away some of the ingredients when you give it to them.
they will never ask you again for a recipe......


my pork ribs are done.
have them sitting in a foil pan to rest.

in about a couple of hours, i'll baste the with sauce and put them on the grill low heat for two hours.

made up the potatoe salad and i'm calling that dinner.

sad thing is after all the hours of prep and working with the food, once we sit down, it will be gone in 5 minutes.
10 minutes if i have the tv on and they start watching that in between bites.

dessert is tri layer white cake with strawberry filling and gel.
vanilla icing and whole fresh strawberries on top.

come on over.
bring your fork.

Yum! You two are making me hungry! Steaks on the grill later! Happy fathers day to all the dads! On another note....Doing a week or so at WDW the end of Sept into early Oct and then switch to USO, or so I thought. I just called to book my room at PBR and the mythical Portofino suite is available for my platinum upgrade. But, youfirst black out dates have made me rethink my plans. Not happy!

to quote you pcstang, i am also "not happy"........


enjoy your steak !!

 

[Bluer101]

Got to love those YF blackout's.

Mac, the food sounds wonderful.

I finally decided where DW was taking me after vegging all day (way to hot down here to be outside).

We went to Flannigans, I had a full rack of ribs, DW had prime rib, and DS had mozzarella sticks with a root beer float lol.

[keishashadow]

Saw quite a few Pitt Pirate shirts in downtown DC today. Guess a ball game is in order tonight.

Have a great week end all!l

Keisha, get stoned! It should be an awesome show.

after the weekend's showing, the fans likely added bags of shame over their heads.

sorry to hear of your loss, difficult for family, hang in there

concert was amazing! will try to remember to upload video. weather was awful up until concert time (so glad to have club seats to stay out of the rain). skies parted and a double rainbow appeared right before stones took the stage.

DH had to work midnight shift father's day but he was thrilled to get his new pressure washer & case of beer. I can't wait to see the deck after it's cleaned lol

good day all. I have week full of medical appointments (bleah) and trying to get it together for trip (yea).

 

[Lynne G]

Pre-trip excitement for Keisha! Hope all medical issues are good. And thanks, we are doing better. Not ready for a dog yet though. And photos yes! What a great time you had at the concert. We had rain when we were at the Taylor concert, but luckily was not heavy and passed in a short amount of time.

It's Monday, and Bluer has kindly sent another day of southern FLA weather. Probably will hit a heat index of 100 again by tomorrow. Last night, the low was 78. AC has been running day and night. Take care all! (Still recovering from some great grilled steaks, even made mashed potato with gravy).

 

[Mrs bluer101]

Hope everyone had a great weekend and a Happy Fathers Day. Everyones dinners sounded really good. DH wanted to go out so that is what we did.

 

[pcstang]

Feel like having pancakes today for breakfast.........

 

[keishashadow]

morning sunshines

my oldest DS is being taken to build a bear for a minion and to see the new movie which premiers on his BD. had to laugh when I heard the plans, he's psyched lol.

so humid & wet here, all the rain we've turned into a rain forest of sorts with all the bugs crawling out of the woods & knocking on my door.

lynne - the girls won a big one! do you think they're going to bring it home?

 

[macraven]

keisha, i think all grown men need to have the fun of making a minionion.

how lovely the movie makers are celebrating your son's birthday by premiering the new movie.
