Something About Nothing ... #12

[macraven]

Vicky by the time I got the Taco Bell box for you and drove the two hours to your house....you would be asleep while I banged on your door

And I would probably be hungry again and eat your food
Lol

I had to google “gin glasses”.....never knew there was such a thing & I lurve gin!!

Lol.......yep, it’s a thing! Bit of a money maker of course as it’s just a wine glass really.......although our wine glasses are huge in comparison and have been compared to goldfish bowls........lol......hate small wine glasses!

We actually ended up having one large rum, ginger beer and loads of lime.......nice!

Hey mac...get a taco salad for me please or one of those $5 boxes...just kidding...not on my diet.

I had sesame fish for dinner...I'm still hungry.

Sesame fish sounds good!!



Up early this morning.......too early! But, DS is leaving early this morning for work so I’m up too.

Not sure what is for breakfast yet.......will look later....

Got plumber coming for yearly boiler check......keeps the warranty and guarantee up to date...should be no issues as it’s only 2 years old. And working just fine.

Then physio appointment later today.........apart from that a quiet day ahead.

Have a great Wednesday............

Good Morning, another very dark commute before dawn. Will see sun today, but once again, blustery out.

But yep, it's Wednesday, and that means,

. Yes, the camel has arrived, and that means the week-end is slowly coming into focus. I am so ready for it.

Hope your dinner was good Mac. We ended up with grilled cheese sandwiches. Well, I think little one had mac and cheese, and soup. She had to remind me that she does not like grilled sandwiches. Oh well, the rest of us ate them. Bacon and cheese, ham and cheese, and plain grilled cheese, though I think a tomato or two with the plain cheese got made too. Just felt like that kinda day. Pizza for lunch today, so most likely will tell the kids to fend for themselves for dinner. I'll be too full. Eh, I think we have some pizzas in the freezer, I'll ask older one to turn on the oven as I commute home. Then food can be ready in about 10 or so minutes after I arrive. Even better, if it beeps to say at right temp, I'll tell him to grab the pizza, and put it in the oven, then even faster dinner time. LOL Weekday dinners, yep, made for speed.

With that, the sun is up, and the tea needs me. Later homies. Wonderful Wednesday to ya all.

 

[macraven]

All the foods Lynne mentioned made me hungry

I eat all those basics
Especially sliced tomatoes on the cheese sandwich!

 

[schumigirl]

I love cheese and tomato sandwiches......but never, ever have one for some reason.......Tom eats a lot of cheese.....me not so much unless it’s Brie.......not as good with tomato!


We are to have a cold spell hit this weekend apparently......not looking forward to that, but did buy a new winter jacket today.......3/4 length for when I don’t need a full length coat. All lighter jackets now put away until a Spring.....

It’s grey and has a cosy hood if I need it, although I wear hats a lot in winter.....

Dinner is lemon chicken for me.......boys are having fish and chips......

I’m hungry now..........

 

[pattyw]

Happy Hump day all!

Chilly and dreary here today!

Yumm- cheese!!

About to leave work- Spending the afternoon today with my mom!! Hair salon, lunch, and later dinner! Maybe Chinese!

 

[Lynne G]

All pizza'd out. Yum. And oh the cheese on the vegetable one. Time for a nap? I wish.

Sounds like a nice afternoon, Patty. Sweet to spend time with your mom. Chinese dinner is a win anytime, in my book. Tends to be our Saturday dinner. Yum.

Bad hair day. The way the tree is swaying, I'd say blowing a hoolie. But the seasons are a changing, tree still has some green leaves, but now golden ones are becoming more numerous. Nice you got a new winter coat, Schumi. Using my lightweight winter one for now. Good for until, oh my it's cold. Then I have a 3/4 coat that's heavier, and keeps me warm. We've been 10 degrees cooler than what should be our temps, so far this October. Not a trend I'd like to keep. And, as long as no snow on Halloween, like we had a few years ago, I'll be good with the cool.

Hoping for a quiet afternoon. Tea, more tea, oh yes it is.

Thanks for the lemon chicken idea Carole...now I need to thaw out some chicken for dinner.

Today is nice but it's supposed to be cold and raining for the next few days so I guess I'll have to do my yard work soon.

I love cheese which is probably one of the main reasons I need to lose weight.

Have a wonderful Wednesday

 

[buckeev]

Have fun in Orlando.

.

Hmmm...Conspicuously absent is any mention of having fun in Milwaukee...Just sayin'...

I love lemon chicken!!! Tom and Kyle hate it though.......so it’s always a solo dish! I hear you on the cheese......wish raw carrots were as appealing like cheese and crackers are!

Have fun in Milwaukee mr buckeev...........

I need to Google and see what’s in Milwaukee these days...........

I do t know anything about Milwaukee other than beer. It just doesn’t seem like a place you go to for fun. Hopefully I am wrong about that.

 

[macraven]

Milwaukee is a good town
Spent many hours there

Since Brewers did not make it into the World Series, he can go to any sites or restaurants with out it being crowded

I’m done with baseball for this season

 

[pattyw]

Had a great dinner out with my mom and Troy- Chinese (YUM!!)! Joe had to work late tonight.

A little tv and some wine and off to bed early!

Have a great evening everyone!!

 

[Monykalyn]

Thanks for the Humpday reminders-love the meme's as usual!!
Finally remembered to call and make hair appointment-and she can get me in Friday! She was wondering what happened to me LOL! Just been so dang busy and then out of town when had days off! Monday and yesterday were 7am-9pm days-Tuesday I got home for about 30 minutes before having to run boy to soccer. Dinner for me (snack for kids after band and soccer) was Wendy's at 9 pm. Didn't even want to eat by that time but knew I had too or I'd end up with a terrific headache. Tonight got to cook-pan fried fish with prosciutto and pan sauce of wine/lemon/capers, risotto, and creamed spinach. Easy and quick (everything cooks in time it takes for risotto to be done~20 minutes). Forgot to take fish out of freezer this am, so thawed under water while I checked the chickens. Think the hens have almost forgiven me for going away-came running when I opened door and cuddle chicken nearly ran over my heels trying to get inside. Shorter and cooler days mean fewer eggs though. Had board meeting over lunch for Boys&Girls Club. And big Wingapalooza event coming up-expect to raise $80k in profit for local children's charities. Bet there is even some wings hot enough for Schumi! One booth has you sign a waver due to heat level.

Middle kid took her driving test today-DH took her. Not sure exactly what happened as she won't talk about it yet, but she's pretty upset. We've done lots of practice so I'm sure she will pass next time.

Weekday dinners, yep, made for speed.

Yes! or crockpot so cooking is done when I get home think MiL is getting me an instant pot for Christmas.

wish raw carrots were as appealing like cheese and crackers are!

right??? can eat my weight in cheese and crackers (and so can rest of my family!!)

Have fun in Milwaukee @buckeev! It's been many years since I have been in Milwaukee, but I have been to Brewers stadium many times. and my cousins used to live there-I remember as a child being able to wander down to local corner store with my cousins and buying candy and those balsam airplanes that had the rubber band that wound up the propeller to make it fly.

Sounds like a good night Patty!

Have a wonderful Wednesday

Hope yours was wonderful too!

I’m done with baseball for this season

Yep me too. Although Yadi won a huge award for being such a humanitarian (for his work in Puerto Rico)

Charade-that sounds like a very traumatic experience! We had 3 women go missing on graduation night 26 years ago (2 teens who had just graduated that day and one of the teens mom)-still no evidence of what happened to them. Lots of rumors (some credible) but no charges on anyone.
Senior year will fly by for B. It's fun and scary and exciting all at once. What a cool memento from her theatrical experiences though!

The boy ate 3 pieces of fish, risotto and spinach and apple juice for dinner and now came up looking for more food! And here I though grocery bill would go down with one less person living in house

 

[Tgrgrl]

I made little effort for dinner tonight....broccoli cheese soup ( from a mix, just add water......my favorite! ) & Reuben sliders for Hubs & kids. Literally took 5 minutes to make & 20 minutes to cook & they ate it like it was a 5-star meal!! I give up.....I had 2 glasses of Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc & a chocolate chip cookie for my dinner and I was in my happy place......

One of my friends lives in Simpsonville, SC, where the $1.6 billion jackpot was drawn. She has been radio silent today on messenger & FB.......I’m dying to find out if she won. Wouldn’t that be crazy !!!!!

I need to go to bed but I’m thinking about food & money.

 

[RAPstar]

Got to see Josh Groban and Idina Menzel in concert last night. I bought the ticket ages ago during national concert week when Ticketmaster had a bunch of tickets for $20. Mine was at the very back of the floor, but it just so happened that there was a second stage they used so I got to be almost right next to them. It was so cool, and this is probably my favorite picture that I got:

 

[Lynne G]

That is so cool, RAPstar. Sounds like a nice way to spend the night, and great songs, I bet.

Well, it still isn't Friday, and I am ready for the week-end. Should take off Friday, and enjoy it a little longer.

And, weather guy report: When you are sitting there watching my reporting, drinking your coffee, you may want to take a peak outside, there may be frost on your car windows. I am so not ready for such cool mornings. Then, he said, will be a bright, cool day, 52 the high, and will feel like 52. Yep, I'd say that's a cooler feeling day. But sunglasses needed, so there's that......

Hey, boys and girls, it's the day you raise a glass that it's going to be a good day, and the fact that it means tomorrow is Friday. That's right - Thirsty Thursday is starting. The sun is still not up, but I am.

.

With that, I need tea, more tea, and more tea. Sending lots of good thoughts to those not feeling well, and hope all are feeling better soon.

Enjoy your trip up North, Buckeev. Bring a jacket.

I love both of them ! I remember when Josh got his “start” on the Ally McBeal show back in the late 90’s. And Idina, wow, did she sing “Let It Go”?
