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

GD said the chicken & dumplings were amazing. It’s always a bit of a surprise when they don’t come out heavy. I tasted them to be polite & decided on veggies & chips with dip for my dinner
I have a Havanese! God never made such a gentle & loving pooch. He, too, is a world class snuggler

Lol my thots too. Always doubted if they were real meat

Never heard of that, interesting. Still just raining hard here. As in all day this far, beats snow

Flight left for chicago at 1pm. Sitting in ATL
Being hopeful Something will show up. On delta, decent chance

would u believe SWA arbitrarily assigned him to leave PIT at 5 am on 2/6??? & return same afternoon. SMH

he’s ran into issue getting refund to his CC. Insisting he take a flight credit. As if, they cancelled the flight. Wonder how many people do fall for that

Good for her, lived her life in her own terms

I’m giggling at that phrase. I’ve done book of the month eons ago. That sort of thing re liquor & wine was always illegal in our state, so strange to my ears Enjoy!

That’s why God made peanut butter

Nice. Would u believe I was able to grab steakhouse 71 & beaches/cream yesterday, just a few days out? Many say people cancel in droves day or so prior.

GD sitting in box. It literally falls apart every time it lightly touches anything not sure if that’s the norm or she has a defective one

Here, those who wear them ‘for real’ tend to be quite dismissive of the dime store cowboys. Friends that ride swear those old poop kickers are the most comfy kicks they have.

Yes, a lesser cook find them heavy…..you done them proud! Dumplings should be light and fluffy…..

Yes, Gin of the month is a good one…….I cannot envisage spirits and wine being illegal……at anytime!!

Yes, my friend did live life on her terms……her son Alasdair came round to visit us the other night, he’s so like his dad it’s uncanny, but for a brief second Tom and I saw his mum in him……we do miss her and can’t believe she’ll have been gone 6 years this coming June.




Off to bed now……….almost midnight for us………

Have a lovely Thursday evening…..

No one in our house eats peanut butter. We hate peanuts. We do have almond butter, but DS is terribly picky. He’s making himself mac n cheese. DH ended up eating taco meat with me. We had a decent amount of leftovers in the freezer, so we need to eat them up. Making chili on Saturday, so I will need containers and freezer space for the leftovers.
 
Well, after that talk of steak sandwiches, what did we do? Go to the butcher and got a pound of chipped beef. And little one thought grilled cheese was not good enough for lunch, decided we’d have the cheesesteaks nut on rolls, but on toasted Italian bread slices. Eh, was still very good tasting for me.

But fading fast. Good night all. And yeah:

Keep a light on, no stubbing toes tonight.
 
Thank goodness Lynne left the light on!!
I hate stubbed toes

it’s 64 now where I live and it’s all gonna change tomorrow

heavy rain for maybe two days as rain will start later tonight

I can live with the rain
Have enough food in the fridge so we don’t need to do any grocery runs for the next 3 days.

and have enough cat food ..
The two cats live for their feeding time

I started counting noses this evening and see missing homies
Hope all are hanging in there and doing okay!
 

I thought it was Wednesday all day :rotfl: Dh was like...Ummmm hon, it's Thursday!!!! I totally don't know why I was thinking it was Wednesday...but I'll take that tomorrow is Friday! Good grief, it is time for some time off!

We had moose steak tonight. It was a bit of a tougher cut, that I took out, but it turned out great. Roasted sweet potato wedges and roasted asparagus rounded out with a little salad on the side. It was a good meal. I am really trying to use as much of the different cuts we have. It is definitely not going to waste.

Tomorrow night is homemade pizzas /calzones. Dh has had a hankering for calzones, that he seen on some cooking show. So tomorrow night, we will have pizza night.

Nice. Would u believe I was able to grab steakhouse 71 & beaches/cream yesterday, just a few days out? Many say people cancel in droves day or so prior.
I was able to get a Brown Derby lunch reservation, as well as a Wolfgang Puck in Disney Springs for our arrival day. I was shocked. Still hoping to maybe snag a lightsaber reservation. I'll keep checking back. Not sure how we would get that home, but it would be cool for dh to do for ds's birthday present.
Yes, Gin of the month is a good one…….I cannot envisage spirits and wine being illegal……at anytime!!
That is a brilliant monthly subscription club to be in!!!!!!!! My sister-in-law would love that! She is the gin lover in our family. I'm more partial to vodka :drinking1

My boys eat soooooo much peanut butter. Probably because it was never allowed at school as a nut free zone. We can't afford the good natural pb, as they would gobble it up too fast. You gave me a meal idea for next week - chili! Thanks for that!
Well, after that talk of steak sandwiches, what did we do? Go to the butcher and got a pound of chipped beef.
I am going to have to google chipped beef. Now I'm wondering if we have something similar here.

I hope you don't get too much rain. It might encourage your lawn to start and then lawn maintenance starts.

Well, I'll leave a light on for anyone who might have trouble counting sheep, or for our early risers across the pond.
 
You are hired as our light keeper!
Pay is not good for this job but you’ll be saving a lot of us for not having a skinned up knee on those stairs here!

The only time we have PB in our house as no one likes it either, is when I make Satay Chicken which isn`t very often, but something none of us like. Tom does love nuts and I`ll eat salted nuts or flavoured spicy/bbq ones in the mix with snacks if we have anyone over for drinks, but that`s it. But, not a nut fan at all......oh I do like pistachio nuts lol....there`s always an exception.

We`re the same mac......not the rain although we could be doing with some rain, but no need to go out for a few days. Got enough fresh produce yesterday to keep us and planning for takeout Saturday night. Thinking Chinese right now......

Glad the cats got their food though......

Home made pizza night sounds fabulous!! And a good way to get cooking as a family, that`s always fun!

After being told what the military called chipped beef it`s a big no for me!

Yes, the gin of the month is fun. You never know what you`re going to get.....unusual gins you can`t buy in stores from all over the world...this month it`s from Australia, and you get different mixers and syrups to make the cocktail of the month and various sweet and savoury snacks, again ones you can`t always buy in any store, and some dried fruits for decoration in the glasses. I opted for every two months as I keep screaming.....we don`t like gin.......lol.....truth is we kind of do now, but much prefer the flavoured gins.

Appreciated the light this morning pumpkin........ ::yes::



You are hired as our light keeper!
Pay is not good for this job but you’ll be saving a lot of us for not having a skinned up knee on those stairs here!

Absolutely.......it`s still pitch black here in the morning, although it is getting slightly lighter in the evenings, whereas a few weeks ago it was still dark at 4.30pm. Spring is on it`s way, it`s just taking it`s time.......





Planning a day at home today so hoping to get lots done and be quite productive......or maybe not. I do plan to make soup, I spent all day yesterday making the broth, so will roast off the veg this morning and enjoy a nice soup for lunch and will bake some rosemary bread to go with it. Not usually a soup fan unless it`s one of my home made ones. I`d never order it in a restaurant for example.

Going to be cooler outside today, so I`m glad I`m not going out.

Finished my book yesterday, and I do need to think about getting the book group organised again, I said I`d start it back up this month, but might be next month now. It`s like herding cats trying to organise some of these women! Can`t please everyone with what time suits, so going to pick a time that suits myself and one of my closest friends and the rest either make it or they don`t.

Spicy chicken with ginger, pineapple, green onion and plum sauce for dinner tonight for me, Tom is having a haggis again as the butcher made more as it was so popular......one taste a year is enough for me and maybe a movie night. Missing some get togethers with friends, but this time of year folks are hibernating. We do have a meal planned in two weeks though for a dinner out, the odd lunch too, but that`s it.

And Friday again.........

Happy Friday ☺​
 
It’s not the chipped beef like you add gravy to. It’s very thin slices of meat that is cut, from a good roast of beef. It’s liked, because as sliced so thin, it cooks in minutes. Lean meat, and oh so tasty. We have it every so often, as a quick meal. Traditionally, it’s on a hoagie roll, but you can eat it without bread. As we had bought a loaf of Italian bread, toasted slices of that we used. And of course, ours are cheesesteaks. Wit is a given. Here, if you order from a cheesesteak place, you never say I want cheese or not. You simply say wit, if you want cheese. Otherwise cheese is not put on a classic steak sandwich. Most also add onions and sometimes even peppers. Grilled soft, with the meat, if you like those additions.

Ah, even in this early morning, that talk of food is making me hungry. And it’s almost breakfast time for me. And not much to look at. While I do have eggs and bacon, it’s not that day I can do a bigger breakfast. Hence, I did put overnight oats in the refrigerator last night. So that what I’d say is boring, oatmeal. But as have tea, thinking of oddly making some hot chocolate. Sweet in the morning is not a bad thing.

But as Pumpkin is dragging the week, I’m like WAHOO, it’s a Friday,

Was so strange. Woke up 15 minutes before my alarm went off, thinking it was 7 am. Um, was hours before that time, but as was up, decided a bit longer shower was the right thing to do. And hey, a little time with more tea? Oh yeah.

Weather. That unwanted arctic air is arriving again. Hence, 55 degrees out and drizzling rainy right now. But as it’s usual for temps to rise though out the day, thanks to that cold air arriving later in the day, by 6 pm, we will be closer to 35 degrees. The only good thing that shot of cold air from the arctic, is a clearing of the clouds. Hence, our Saturday will start with an overnight temp of 14, with 29 the high. And a full day of sun. So there’s that. Sunglasses and a winter jacket. But that’s tomorrow’s weather. A predicted, we are to get an inch of rain to fall this Friday. That’s quite a bit of rain. With that snow almost almost melted gone now, that much warmer start to today, should be a very wet, and rainy filled Friday. Was oh so foggy yesterday. With that melting of snow mixing with bands of rain, lots of moisture in that air. Was hard to see the lights on the street, as we had to go out for a food run. Just a pick up of a few things. And would you know? Little one wanted to go. Yep, we have Starbucks inside some of our stores. Hence, she was happy, as it’s been very early closing times of most Starbucks stores, and even those in our malls. But at least inside the stores, they are open longer. So yeah, food and coffee run last night. And no, not even Jack or headless horseman seen in that heavy fog. But was spooky enough. So thick.

With that, oatmeal should be done heating up, and time for a tea refill and put some milk on the stove. Ah, Friday!

Fabulous Friday homies. Give that big WAHOO, as means alarms can be turned off for most, though an very early start for my older one tomorrow, and a work weekend for him. But for the rest of us, ahhh relaxing days are coming soon.

Anyone else get the recent U survey as to HHN tix, potential types & costs. Horrifyingo_O. would like to think they are just testing the waters there.
i do love that ’rare-here’ name
can’t believe she’ll have been gone 6 years this coming June.
aw, it doesn’t seem that long from when you shared it.
We hate peanuts

popular choices. Sadly, never dined at either. menu at BD doesn’t appeal to the mr & I’m far to lazy to walk over to that side of DTD Or vice-a-versa. Tempted tho, what do you like there?

stupid supply chain issues messing things up I’ve heard. keep trying up to bitter end, people do cancel. It’s fun to be the observer (video photographer lol) too
but something none of us like.
Et tu, Carole :rotfl:

oh no, not that sort of chipped beef. Although, every few years i get a hankering for SOS, made with the white gravy I otherwise don’t touch

yes, it melts in your mouth. even tho I had big breakfast since kiddo here (those quarter sized hash browns, bacon & Mickey Mouse shaped cinnamon toast), I’m droooling thinking of them for dinner lol

stuck head out door & saw only a couple inches of new snow on sidewalk. Put on robe & went out to get the newspaper from curb. hit the top step & realized there’s a good 1/4 inch, if not more, of ice Under the snow. Door never shut so fast The mr is off work, he can figure it out. Couldn’t pretreat as it was still raining at midnight.

lol......your posts always make me smile!!!

Yes, I have been getting several surveys recently.......that one yes, you can see where their minds are going with pricing issues.

lol......sos......made me gag!!!

Yes, Alasdair is a very Scottish name, his dad is Scottish, not sure if you remember he actually grew up about 20 minutes away from where I grew up.....same age and went to some of the same places but never met till I saw him as a consultant when I thought I needed surgery......we had quite the conversation.....then months later we met E and became friends immediately. It was funny having the connection with P already. It does feel like I only saw her yesterday some days....

Glad you never went out on that ice......especially a few days before you head South.......a bruised butt is the last thing you need!!! Ice is horrible....


Did not get that survey yet but last night had a long survey about hhn
Nothing exciting on that survey

There have been quite a few recently.......one took about 25 minutes to fill in....one of the hush hush ones......lol........





So much for the best laid plans. My friend J decided to have a morning tea party today....sent me a txt early, so popped round and met a few of her friends I hadn`t met before, nice folks and nice morning all round and some nice teas with cakes, although it was a little early for cake.....nah, never too early for cake!

I did get my veg roasted and had some lovely soup for lunch. Kyle calls it my 48 hour soup as it takes a day to make the broth and then a day to let flavours develop.......lol.....he`s not wrong. Froze the other half of it for anothe time, veg soup is something I only eat occasionally.

It is barking cold here again......temps say around 42F but real feel is much colder, even with the sun shining. Glad to be in.

Still waiting on gin to be delivered.........::yes::
 
Yeah, last year got that HHN survey. Haven’t seen much of them lately. I seem to get them every so often.

Ooh, that hot chocolate was so tasty. But as routine, back to that ever so enjoyed tea.

Raining hard enough, as went to toss trash out, and quite wet I got. Eek, ice under snow, ick Keisha. I’d rather be in much warmer weather soon too. But ah, we haven’t even figured out a day for our anniversary dinner yet. If we get too close to Valentine’s, we’ll do it later in the month. But have fun at the mouse starting this weekend.

I think we only ate one time at WP’s fast service when we had free dining. Never saw any interest in BD either. No much of interest in any food at HS. Did have a good meal at the PP when we were at DS this past December.

Ah, not even close enough to lunchtime yet. Sigh. But enjoy all the talk of food.
 
Gin of the month has arrived......not the box they originally said, I was expecting a Gin from Oz......but looks good all the same........classic English Gin.

Not sure about truffle flavour crisps, not a fan of anything funghi......especially truffle flavours. But, will give them a go.



gin-S.jpg




Had a giggle today though......my friend said she had bought me a gift......handed me a x10 magnification mirror for using to do my eyebrows. She laughed as a few weeks ago as I plucked my eyebrows as she came in for a cuppa.......with my glasses on....not an easy feat I tell you. I do have two mirrors that have magnification, but obviously not enough!!

So I can now do the old eyebrows easier........it`ll sit nicely on one of the bathroom shelves.
 
It's a fun day Friday stop in :cheer2:

Temps have risen and are very tolerable again, but with that a huge dump of snow to boot. The drive to work was interesting with all the snow. That's life living in the great white north lol. But I'll take the mild temps over the deep freeze any day.

Hoping to leave work a little early today, to get home and whip up some fresh pizza dough so that it has enough time to rise before we make it into pizzas. It is a me thing, but I much prefer to use homemade dough over anything I could buy at the grocery store. I have one conference call I need to do today, and I am hoping it will be early afternoon - since it is Friday, then I can leave early.

I'm sorry your getting our arctic air. As a Canadian we are all about sharing and being kind. I thought we would share our cold air with you :rotfl: I'm sure we will be getting it back here soon lol.
does it taste like venison?
No. Honestly, we are extremely lucky that they area where dh got him, is an area that you can't hunt unless " you know" the land owner who will give you permission to be on their land. The area is good farm/ ranch land. He was basically a grain fed moose. He was a magnificent animal and the butcher did a great job of processing it. This is by far the best wild meat we have had - ever. And we have some type of wild meat in our freezer every year. There is no " gamey/ wild "taste like mule or whitetail deer can have. The rut season was over when he was taken down. I am making a pretty big dent in the freezer already with the amount we have eaten.
popular choices. Sadly, never dined at either. menu at BD doesn’t appeal to the mr & I’m far to lazy to walk over to that side of DTD Or vice-a-versa. Tempted tho, what do you like there?
I want to try the burger that they have on their menu!!! I'm a burger / sandwich girl. This will be our first time to HS. I have only ever been to MK. And dh wants to go see Galaxy's Edge. I may end up cancelling, as there is sooo many things that I want us to try. We want to take the gd to Disney in the near future, and if she was along we wouldn't be able to fully enjoy that area. So this is the perfect time to enjoy it as an all adult experience. He has zero interest to see any other parks without gd along. Which I am fine with. So we will just enjoy a full day at HS doing alllllllll the things we want.
So I can now do the old eyebrows easier........it`ll sit nicely on one of the bathroom shelves.
I am the same!!!! I just go get mine waxed now. My eyes are just too bad to do mine anymore. With my bad vision and add now that I need bifocals :rolleyes1 It's just easier to have someone else do them for me.

Well, I should get some papers shuffled. MY tea is now gone, I sure could use another one though.

Have a great day everyone...stay safe!

Oh I miss getting them waxed, legs too. The woman that used to do it for me stopped during the pandemic, so I don`t really want someone else doing it as she was more a friend than just someone doing a job, and she did it in an annexe to her own home which was nice. I keep saying I`ll find someone new, but not yet.......now I can see the eyebrows, might be a bit easier.

I agree, homemade dough is far superior than store bought stuff.....you never know what they put in all that stuff.

Enjoy those pizzas tonight!
 
I skipped a day posting and now I feel like I am behind 2 days. Yesterday was a busy day. After work I had to go pick up our dessert for the evening. There is a cheesecake place nearby that I have been dying to try. One of their options is a mini 4" cheesecake, so I got a chocolate one and a lemon one that was Keto friendly. I then went home, did some last minute cleaning, cooked dinner, and then had our friends over. I was really tired at bedtime.


Laying low now for the coming days as our countdown is getting smaller. There has been some covid at Dh's work, but in all honesty with the number of staff that they have (75+) staff they have not have any cases until now. Go figure it would happen when Dh can't contract it before our trip :laughing:. So now he is requiring people who enter his office sanitize and mask up again lol. I told dh that the minute he starts to feel sick to let me know, as I have a few rapid tests that I secured for while we are on our trip. and we will test him. Crossing our fingers nothing happens in the next 14 days when we have to have our test to enter the US.
Hoping there is no Covid exposure and your trip can go on as planned.

Was in dental chair this am, bonding again pulled off the one molar that needs some sort of permanent fix now that crown has failed. Glad it’s covered as still has root, have heard some horror stories about that sort of thing going horribly south. Knock on wood I’m good till the other side of mouth heals up from last week’s surgery. Will restrain myself & try to eat mostly semi soft food In the meantime.
Sorry to hear that. Hope all goes well.

bounty is a dryer sheet here.
I think you are thinking of Bounce. Bounty is paper towels.

Bounty is a coconut bar covered in thick chocolate.......lush!!!!
Yum! Looks like our Mounds bar.

In our first few years visiting in September, there really were so many empty places in Disney. And yes, I doubt it`ll ever happen again, nowhere close.

These pictures were taken on a Friday afternoon and we couldn`t believe our luck riding so many times without getting off.......CM`s were like......yeah keep going if you like.

It really was empty. These were all September 2008 our second year visiting.
That is just mind blowing. It looks like the park isn't even open.

same, when i do remember to use a sheet, it comes from a blue box with a bear on the front. No idea of brand Name
Snuggle?

Which were the ones with the almonds in them?
Almond Joy. Remember "Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don't."?

We are dog sitting for my sister-on-law. He is a little poodle / havanese mix. He's a grumpy old thing. He is happiest sitting on any open lap and is the snuggliest little thing. I laughed at him last night making his rounds to everyone. Ended up laying in my spot on the bed with dh when he went to bed, then gave me the stink eye when I had the nerve to move him to climb into bed last night :rotfl: Then one dh leaves for work, he snuggles in close to me lol. Such a little stinker.
Aww..he sounds adorable.

Shudder! Steak um’s. Nope,
Ew. I remember those. Not a fan.

I don't know why they already canceled school for Friday though. It's supposed to not rain/sleet. It will still be very cold in the morning and no sunshine until later in the day. I guess they just wanted a break.
See they sometimes cancel because part of the roads in the county get his worse than others. The roads can be completely clear where I live, but still very messy in the western part of the county.

Just got sent this gif......

Love it......
So cute.

Bought disney tickets, scored 2 dinning reservations I was wanting, and still sitting on the fence about making one other reservation for dh to make a droid and then ship it to son who has a birthday while we are away. Ordered our universal tickets through a rewards program we use - I'll take free tickets using points for purchasing items that we regularly use :cool: and am waiting to receive them. Like I said...lots of check marks today ✅✅✅
Can you go ahead and make the reservation and cancel later if not needed?

I think one day I`d like to visit Texas, especially Dallas, all due to JR of course.
I had a 3 hour layover in Dallas once. I guess that doesn't really count. I lived in San Antonio for a year, but was too young to remember.

Nice. Would u believe I was able to grab steakhouse 71 & beaches/cream yesterday, just a few days out? Many say people cancel in droves day or so prior.
I have noticed that there are a lot of good reservations showing for same day or one day out. On a future trip I want to go without making any ADRs and just leave it up to chance and see what we can get same day or making a reservation just one day in advance.

No one in our house eats peanut butter. We hate peanuts.
Wow. I practically lived on peanut butter when I was younger. I'm not really much for eating peanuts (or any other nut) but I love peanut butter, especially when paired with chocolate.

it’s 64 now where I live and it’s all gonna change tomorrow

heavy rain for maybe two days as rain will start later tonight
60 here but rainy. Hopefully it will help melt the lingering snow.

I was able to get a Brown Derby lunch reservation, as well as a Wolfgang Puck in Disney Springs for our arrival day. I was shocked. Still hoping to maybe snag a lightsaber reservation. I'll keep checking back. Not sure how we would get that home, but it would be cool for dh to do for ds's birthday present.
Brown Derby is dh's favorite Disney restaurant. We have to eat there every time we got to WDW.

My boys eat soooooo much peanut butter. Probably because it was never allowed at school as a nut free zone. We can't afford the good natural pb, as they would gobble it up too fast.
I don't think I have ever had the natural peanut butter. I am brand loyal to Jif.

After being told what the military called chipped beef it`s a big no for me!
Ew! No!

It’s not the chipped beef like you add gravy to. It’s very thin slices of meat that is cut, from a good roast of beef. It’s liked, because as sliced so thin, it cooks in minutes. Lean meat, and oh so tasty.
That sounds SO much better than SOS.

And of course, ours are cheesesteaks. Wit is a given. Here, if you order from a cheesesteak place, you never say I want cheese or not. You simply say wit, if you want cheese. Otherwise cheese is not put on a classic steak sandwich. Most also add onions and sometimes even peppers. Grilled soft, with the meat, if you like those additions.
Now I'm craving a good cheesesteak. I like mine with onions and mushrooms. No peppers.

Yes, Alasdair is a very Scottish name,
There is a young couple at my church that have a little boy named either Alasdair or Alastair. I'm not sure which.

Okay, finally caught up. Since I cleaned yesterday I really don't have anything that needs to be done today. I think I will go watch mindless TV for awhile. I have been binge watching the show Castle on Hulu.
 
@Pumpkin1172 @keishashadow I missed your ADRs. I think Pumpkin said she got Brown Derby and Wolfgang Puck. What did you get Keisha?

We love Brown Derby. They have good steak and a nice on on the kids menu that DS gets, since he doesn't eat a lot of food. I love the cobb, grapefruit cake, and grapefruit cocktail. Haven't done the new Wolfgang Puck. I have a while until we make ours for May. I think I am going to try to get Jiko, HBD or Space 220 or Via Napoli, and Be Our Guest or Plaza. It's a short trip for a friend's wedding so really only 3 days of meals. We have eaten at all of these before except Space 220. We haven't tried the new prix fixe at BOG though.
 
Have been reading along as best as I can and jumping in to chat

Quite an active group here today and that is so nice to read what all the homies have been doing

We had our heavy rain early morning hours and it was 60 degrees at the time
Rain disappeared by 8
Glad it was not an all day rain

Not that I was going anywhere today but it gave Mr Mac a day to go out and bike ride in the battlefield paths

He was what I call “ under foot” while I was cleaning the house and prepping for our dinner later tonight.

I would post to all that have been on the sans today but using my iPhone I never figured out how to cut and paste

Hogs to all that have posted and those that haven’t yet today!

I have tonight’s dinner all set now!
Nothing fabulous but a simple meal of a cold shell pasta dish with white albacore and side salad.

A few times each week we do a very light dinner which won’t have leftovers.

Oops just remembered I need to pick up an order at the bbq place down the street from us

Ribs and coleslaw slaw pick up

YUM YUM YUM. All of that sounds delicious!!!!!!
 
I’m sure we will do the ribs tonight and the pasta dish for tomorrow
It will keep fine overnight and eat it tomorrow

Did not want to deal with him getting an attitude of what the heck is this for dinner …. If I said we are cutting back on calories and having a simple meal

I know him well…..lol
