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

[schumigirl]

So a pantry over there is a thing you buy? Here a pantry is usually a large walk in room just off the kitchen for food storage......lots of older houses have them. We turned ours into our wine room when we moved into this house.


Charade, yes Michael Crawford was known for a tv show called Some Mother’s Do Ave Em........he was hilarious in it......very simple comedy from the 1970’s.


Janet.....yes, can’t wait till our Chinese place opens up again......I’d run through hoops for a ChI see take out sometime soon!! Hope it was good and you enjoyed it,.....well, your Misters hair looks good!! I only started doing Tom’s hair when we bought the gadget.....I’m quite pleased with how I did Kyle’s today.....he’s happy with it, so I’m happy........

Yes saw the beaches in Fl!! We have another 3 weeks of lockdown here, but Boris is planning to start unleashing us next week!! Too early imo. But, we’ll see.......




Didn’t win the quiz tonight either, but the girl who won it deserved to win.......I have to say our questions were voted the hardest ever, and hardly anyone got any right......lol.....think we took it a tad too serious.......oops!

Midnight here, not tired so will watch some tv for a while.....Kyle is up stargazing with his new camera on the telescope.

Not much going on tomorrow......same old........

Yes, me too, Schumi. Seems all the Chinese places around us are closed too. I was really in the mood for it, but alas, none to be had. Made chicken tonight, as no one knew what to eat. Saturday night was our usual Chinese take out.

 

[Sue M]

Keisha yes my TA can access booking, it’s Trip Advisor. The general thought on Dis is they just don’t want to deal with cancelations. Who knows.
Are you booking early Aug? I wonder too what WDW will look like And how it will open. It will have to be worth the 6hr flight for me to go! I’m not expecting fireworks or parades either. Have no idea how they’re going to handle food! Gotta eat! It could be they limit the # of off site guests when parks hit the designated capacity similar to what they do during Christmas.

it’s such a shame for the decent ones. Yes, look forward to the day they can reopen.

I can recreate most dishes......almost the same, but not quite. And it’s nice having a night or two off cooking.......

It can be. Some houses do have a pantry like you described. Unfortunately mine does not. Right now we have a cheap, pre-fab one. It serves its purpose, but we really need more storage space.

I know of at least 2 Chinese restaurants near me that are open. One is a local full service restaurant. The other is Panda Express.

Dh tried calling our favorite Mexican place tonight, but the line was always busy. We thought they might be having phone problems, so he decided to drive over there to place and order. He called and said they were so busy that it would be a 45 minute wait for food. I am glad they are staying busy. I would hate to lose that restaurant.

Since I won't get to see my brother and SIL for a while I had an idea last night. My brother requested no wedding presents, so I decided to send my new SIL some flowers with a welcome to the family message. I did not realize that floral delivery charges were so high. I found a coupon code online that took 20% off the order, so that made the cost a little better. She should get them on Monday.

Still waiting on dinner....

We have 2 Chinese restaurants open in our area, we made the mistake of ordering from one last weekend only because we were desperate.......

Our youngest son has a friend and his family has there own Chinese restaurant, I don’t remember where exactly they are from, he comes over to our house often and they refuse to let us turn down meals provided for everyone as we often let the kids have a great time together and sleepovers and such, they really are great folks and we love their food.....very good!!! We are regular customers even when they aren’t having a get together. We love the broccoli beef and sweet and sour chicken and the crab rangoons!

Our pantry is where we have a lot of our dry food goods and we store other things in there also, paper towels and goodies lots of cereal and did I mention goodies!!!

Texas Roadhouse for dinner again tonight steaks are wonderful!!!

Relaxing by myself currently so got Bill and Ted on, we have an audio system throughout our house, I make sure everyone can hear the wonderful grooves from this movie.

Leaving the light on.

So, you would have thought I was crackers if I had said we walked into the pantry to pick something out.....lol.....yes, storage space in a kitchen is essential.

Flowers would be a nice touch.

lol....we have our local Chinese that is excellent and know the owner as he lives in our village, but there is another one we occasionally hear folks say, oh we`ll give it a try....I always tell them not to bother...….do they listen? No. Do they regret it.....absolutely!!! It has a good hygiene rating in their window....but they don't seem to know how to cook nice food correctly...….



Such a late nice for us last night.....slept a little longer than usual this morning.....pancakes and fruit this morning I think.

Time for breakfast.....but the sun is shining again even though it`s to be fairly cool today.....no plans of course....maybe a little ironing and general looking for something to pass an hour or so......I`m sure I`ll find something. Tom will wander down to his man cave for an hour or so…….

Dinner is steak in ale pie, cooked the beef yesterday....reheat with puff pastry on top of slow braised beef in gravy. Lush dish!!!

[Lynne G]

Ooh, I’m doing that sipping tea today. Us, too have had a sunny start. And yeah, I hear my heater on, so a tad too cool for me too.
Woke up at 6, so yep, a late start as well. Finished up the wash, and now enjoying a quiet house. Read Schumi is having some more lush meals, but I have no idea what dinner will be at this moment. There was nothing left over, from dinner yesterday and little one said my mac and cheese was really good last night. It was, for some reason, as maybe we were all hungry. LoL

With that wonderful talk of food, I may take out the bacon and have a fuller breakfast. One of the perks of a weekend morning. I did pick up more eggs yesterday. With the grocery stores limiting the number of people in it, I found it easier to get what I wanted and get out of there. It was not pleasant to stand outside in the brisk cool wind, though. But hey, little one went through the Starbucks line. And a line that was. But an easier one, as we stayed in the car.

Tea needs another refill, so have that super easy Sunday, homies!

 

[keishashadow]

Talk bacon to me

Since the mr’s been on afternoon shift, it’s been flowing rather freely. Will I get drummed out of the corps if I admit I’m getting sick of seeing it lol?

Sun is shining, should hit the mid 50’s here today, yea!

Keisha yes my TA can access booking, it’s Trip Advisor. The general thought on Dis is they just don’t want to deal with cancelations. Who knows.
Are you booking early Aug?

We tend to book all DVC related travel 11 months out or there’s no (good) room left at the inn.

I’m treading carefully, as it’s my understanding the DIS rules frown on mentioning specific travel agency’s names. Some are automatically blacked out, I get it as the site’s sponsor is a travel agency. Disclaimer: not my intent to endorse any here

Ok, that’s done , now you really have me confused lol. Your travel agent is trip advisor or they are an authorized agency booking thru tripadvisor? I know a few people who had dabbled booking WDW trips part-time via authorized agencies, they booked thru the official disney agent website portal. None lasted long, said it wasn’t profitable since the IATAN/CLIA discount restrictions were tightened up a few years ago.

Perhaps it runs differently in Canada or maybe something has recently changed in the trip advisor formatting. the US website is typically utilized as a informational/review site. I’ve seen Carole pop up there re Loews hotel reviews in the past.

It’s Sunday which means pizza night at my house.

Watching Seinfeld episode 6.17 "The Doorman"

 

[macraven]

chad!

We now have another poster from Indiana.

I watch a lot of Seinfeld ...

Thanks! My wife and I just finished That 70's Show a couple weeks ago and have been binging through Seinfeld. Happy to be here from the Hoosier State!! Planning to be checking into Pop Century on July 5!!!

 

[macraven]

I finished the seasons of quite a few tv series and have now moved onto the second season of Law and Order.

You flying or driving to Orlando?

 

[chad_1138]

We are driving. We will drive to Valdosta on Saturday, and then only have about a 3 hour drive on Sunday.

 

[macraven]

I think it’s about a 14 hour drive for you for a straight shot.

Once you go past Chattanooga and hit I 75 in GA, watch out for the few speed traps.

 

[cam757]

Good Morning SANs Peeps....

Well I didn't hear from my boss Friday so I guess I am not furloughed. I told my husband
I will probably be like Milton from the movie Office Space. My boss will not tell me and I won't know until my paychecks stop

Bathroom is 90% done. DH worked hard all day to get it back together. He did a very nice job. We will probably run out to Lowes today to buy a couple of odds and ends to finish up.

I have been mask resistant for awhile, but now some stores are requiring them. I tried making a no sew mask, but it looks ridiculous. I'm trying to find someone local to make one for me.

I don't like the one I have. I just can't breathe in it. I am going to have to come up with something different.

Checking in from frigid NE PA! Brrrr...... It's only 35 right now and it did snow again yesterday, but not much stuck. Really only a sprinkle on my deck remains.

Yikes, that is cold. Hope the weather has warmed up today.

A coworker of another of my daughter's sadly passed away from it. She was late 30's, healthy and it doesn't make sense. I hope they can figure out why some get so sick and others don't have any signs.

Wow, that is sad. The virus certainly doesn't discriminate.

Speaking of recipes I have a question..... Do you share recipes?

If I had a recipe someone wanted, I would gladly share it.

It can be. Some houses do have a pantry like you described. Unfortunately mine does not. Right now we have a cheap, pre-fab one. It serves its purpose, but we really need more storage space

We have a small reach in pantry. I would love a room I could walk in but that will have to wait til the next house.....With all the extra stuff I have bought lately, I have had to find overflow storage in the spare bedroom.

Dinner is steak in ale pie, cooked the beef yesterday....reheat with puff pastry on top of slow braised beef in gravy. Lush dish!!!

That sounds delish!! I love pastry pie dishes. I need to preplan my meals better. Most of mine are last minute throw together meals.

Welcome Chad! I love Seinfeld reruns. I watch them several times a week. The Office is my favorite. We watch that one almost everyday since it reruns constantly on the comedy channel.

 

[Lynne G]

Brr, my DH hares to fly, so quite the road trip for us too to the Mouse. Safe travels in July, Chad, and welcome. Years ago, we left Orlando at 6 am, and went into our driveway at around midnight. Only stopped for gas and food. I fly the 2 hour or so flight since then. Though as a young kid, never seemed to mind the summer road trip my mom would do to visit her parents. Many a summer I spent on the Miami beaches. Fond memories of those trips.
