Good Morning, Ladies!

Bad weather again this AM - slept in til 7, after a fitful night.

if the roads clear - hospital visit - my friend received her test results yesterday - she has a rare incurable lung disease called LAM, for short. She's pretty scared and upset, understandably, so i'm in 'crisis management' mode.

eat on plan
drink lots of water
box up tied blanket, wrap for Christmas and tag - 1 done.
clean bathrooms
work on pirate lettering

Happy Day, all!

yay

OK just read Cheryls dinner menu -

It's from Rachael Ray's February magazine. We'll try it out tonight and let you know how it is If it's good I'll post the recipie after dinner

 

[rlovew]

Sure- I can share- I did lunch instead of dinner since DH is gone for the day and my brother was going to be gone for dinner so I cooked lunch instead of dinner. The recipe is from the Better Homes and garden Seafood Cookbook - I think my mom got them when they were probably a book a month club thing when my parents were first married or so.

Shrimp and Crab Au Gratin
2 tbls butter
3tbls flour
1 tbls chicken gravy base
2 cups milk
5 oz American cheese shredded (1 1/4 cups- I used cheddar instead)
8 oz crab meat (fresh) or 7 1/2 oz can crab (I actually halfed both of the fish when I made it today)
8 oz shelled shrimp (if it is large I would cut it up- we always used small shrimp)
paprika

1- In a saucepan melt butter- then blend in the flour and gravy base
2- Add milk- cook stirring until thick and bubbly (I cooked over medium heat)
3- add 1 cup cheese
4- Add crab and shrimp pieces

It calls for making these in toast points (you would have to look up a recipe) but I use the pastry shell cups that you can buy in the frozen food section)

5- pour into cups and sprinkle with cheese and paprika

The recipe calls for you to bake at 350 till hot (10-15 min) but using the pastry cups I don't bother baking them I just pour the recipe over the cups and serve like that- I don't bother adding the extra cheese or paprika.

They made a great meal.

let see, we did Dixie Stampede...FUN!
Irish Tenors sounds really FUN!!!
Laura Ingalls house was pretty neat to see it all! especially if you're a fan!
Eureka Springs is beautiful....Jim and I stayed at a B&B for our first dating anniversary we were put in the "Downhill Room" so we thought it was down the hill from the main house....no it was literally sliding down the hill, the angel of the room was all wonky, but very pretty room.
and the cavern's a pretty cool too....remember to wear a jacket and gloves, it gets really chilly in there!

You will have a wonderful time with Rachel, hope you can get some great momma/daughter bonding time too, after all she'll be your "captive" during the drive!

That sounds like fun!

I don't know about your DH, but mine goes on a mission to get me to misbehave! Case in point, Senior Frogs x2 on the last cruise!

 

[wdwmickey]

Hmmmm--DH did "make me" drink 2 margaritas at lunch today We could get into all sorts of trouble
