Something About Nothing............ #14

[schumigirl]

Schumi I was glancing thru the threads here and not paying attention to who said what.

when I read the post of
“Ok, we always have plenty got you a spot saved at the table!!!”

I thought it was you as that’s what you usually say when we like your menu.

Lol

I get my kids all mixed up here.
(It would have been so embarrassing to call one of my kids here by the wrong name.)

btw, will there need bacon in the morning??

You know you`re always welcome at our table.......we should have a ladies brunch.......bacon as the main feature......

Yep we have bacon tomorrow.....Tom knows how you like it cooked......

Third glass of wine now.......beautiful red that we`ve coveted for a while now......

B has now been moved into her dorm room. Her new roommate has not shown up yet. I helped her set up her half of the room, but we decided not to put anything on the walls until after her roommate arrives and the decide if they want to rearrange the furniture first. There are also a few things she needs for the room (trash can, bathmat, etc.) but she is waiting to see if her roommate brings them.

Came home and found that the turntable for my microwave had arrived already. Yay!

Then I opened up Facebook and saw a horrible post from a friend in North Carolina. Her 26 year old stepson, who she has been mom to for the past 20 years, has died. She dosen't have any other information right now. Her younger son and B were in preschool together.

I am now trying to do laundry and catch up on housework. Waiting to see if B texts me with a list of things she forgot.

Schumi, I’ll get the boat ready so have plenty of bottles of wine to go with that bacon!

charade, that is sad your friend lost her boy.
has to be painful for her.
Of course you’ll hear from B with a list of items she forgot to pack.

dpln, main course is at Schumi’s but we will expect you to have dessert set up for us.
(do you have leftover bday cake for us?)

Yes we have some although it’s going quick, I have to say Sam’s club has some very good cake for the money, perfectly moist and oh so good.

How do you spell spoiled = strawberry rhubarb pie!!!

Truly dreadful Charade for your friend and her stepson. How do you begin to deal with that.

Glad your daughter has settled in ok.....oh hope she hasn`t forgotten anything......she`s not too far away from you if I remember correctly......

 

[macraven]

Dang
All this talk about food has made me hungry.

Instead of what I was going to cook tonight, sending Mr Mac out for bbq rib carry out.

We have a full wine cellar of wine.......plenty of choice.....even the odd sweet ones that our friend Janet loves so much.....

Dutch Apple pies and plum crumble here.....home made vanilla ice cream too......we`re all sorted in this house.....

And bacon.....always bacon......

Oh go for the bbq food mac......



This movie called Finding Your Feet is amazingly good....funny, sad and poignant all at the same time.......

[schumigirl]

Yep, one is a disease......imagine that!!!!


Almost bedtime here......and still raining......but strangely warm for this time of night.

Have just turned on slow cooker......beef in ale for tomorrow evening`s dinner......then off to Scotland on Monday.......so excited to leave although it is a long drive......worth it though.....

@Charade67 such sad news. Not something you can ever deal with fully. Sounds like B will be organised and good she’s not far away.

Em is at a friend’s home for supper and rang me to say she’s had a phone call from L!!! Amazing as he will not normally allow it but apparently she came on the phone and said “I miss you Mummy and now when I miss you the Judge says I can ring you so here I am”. Hopefully if he continues to allow it things will be better for everyone going forward because L will be happier knowing she can do that and not worry so much.

I’m back in bed now and ready to close my eyes again - my BBC sounds needs some new items adding as I’m listening to it so much.

Goodnight to everyone and enjoy the rest of your evening x

I rarely listen to the radio sadly.....but I imagine they do need some additions.....

Glad your daughter got a call from your GD......such stress all round for all involved.....

Have a good sleep......

 

[DisneyLifePapioNe]

Steaks are on.......

Sipping on some old style in a red solo cup.....lol

Just Kidding about the old style it’s actually fireball.....lol even better....like drinking rocket fuel!!!

 

[mckennarose]

but still cherished times whether it`s just the two of us or all three.......

It is. I was really sad we had to cancel our May trip, as all my kids were coming with us. The last time I had all of them in Florida was May 2018. Oh well, planning for next year I guess.

and have an absolute ball with my son and DIL who make us young again getting us to stop up for the dancing and visit places we may not have done otherwise.

Sounds like fun! My middle dd and her boyfriend are like this with us. Tomorrow we are having an anniversary party here and they will be bringing the "throw, throw, burrito" game. They keep us active! I may wind up with a black eye though.... lol!

managed to eat the rice pudding

MMM, I love rice pudding... enjoy!

Her 26 year old stepson, who she has been mom to for the past 20 years, has died.

That's so sad, I'm sorry.

sending Mr Mac out for bbq rib carry out.

Sounds like a good plan. We're still not set on dinner yet. Talking over our options. But if Mr. Mac is feeling generous, he's welcome to bring us bbq up here in PA! We don't have many bbq places.

Steaks are on.......

Don't cook mine too much! I like it medium.

Just Kidding about the old style it’s actually fireball.....lol even better....like drinking rocket fuel!!!

Love fireball. My kids (adults) hate it, but my son in law is my partner in crime when it comes to fireball. When we vacation in Florida together, it's our arrival toast together.

Wouldn’t do one past medium.......

If you ever need an extra fireball toaster......

Usually have it on tap here..........lol.....ice cold also!!!!!

 

[mckennarose]

Good! That's sacrilegious to cook it to death. At least that's what I keep telling my youngest dd's boyfriend. We're introducing him into the "blood is not bad" club with regard to steak.

If you ever need an extra fireball toaster......

We'll start a Fireball club.... you, me, my son in law, and my youngest dd's boyfriend are in so far. Hubby is a Crown Royal guy, but can be persuaded.

Lol.....we make some apple Jell-O shots once in a while......

I think they might have some crown apple!!!

 

[DisneyLifePapioNe]

Mck is it bad though if I enjoy my top sirloin steaks with ketchup.......?????

 

[DisneyLifePapioNe]

Ribeyes were great tonight, funny there is still one waiting for consumption on the table, others packaged for reheat later.

Broccoli and potatoes with sour cream and butter with some shredded sharp cheddar!!!

The diet will start tomorrow, I say that everyday!

 

[mckennarose]

Deal! He loves Crown Apple! It's his fav. We have some Crown peach right now and it's pretty good too.

Mck is it bad though if I enjoy my top sirloin steaks with ketchup.......?????

You can put whatever you want on your steak.

I believe Lynne has some cheesecake.....

 

[Lynne G]

Yay, party at DisneyLife’s house! Yum, yep, I like my steak not much past mooing. Medium Rare, yes. Yes, McK, we have a little bit of cheesecake left. Gray goose with crushed ice, after my Chinese take out gets eaten.


So sorry to hear of son’s death, Charade. Sending peace and comfort to his family and friends.

And Zoo for you, after taking a little longer to get home,
saw quite an accident. Nothing like driving on the trolley track raised lane.

I see a bear, oh my:

Why hello Rhino named Tony:


Aww, baby flamingo. See, not so oink


And such pretty giraffes:


With that, so much food being discussed, I need to eat my dinner. Have a super nice night. Radio weather guy said a muggy night. Good thing our home AC is making indoor nice. Mall today seemed to not have AC going strong. Was nice to get back to AC car. Happy that quick returns were had.
