Well I'm back from the dentist, temporarily. I'm in the beginning stages of gum disease, which believe it or not can be caused by stress. Me - stress? I have to go back this afternoon for deep root scaling and antibiotic injections in the area of the affected gum. Sounds like fun, huh? Guess I'll be all looped out on pain pills later So if I say something stupid, please just ignore me or just laugh.

Recipe, please!!! I love quesadillas, and am always looking for favorite guacamole recipes.

Kathy I hope your feeling ok. Deep scaling is a great torture device. Are you a grinder and clencher? That can cause gum problems. I've dislocated my jaw once while sleeping Not funny at the time though.

Alex starts school tomorrow.

Tonight we are having italian sausage with onions and peppers and some kind of side I haven't decided yet.

Have you all looked at the items at the food boothes for the F&W. I better loose some of this baggage so I can feast.

Wow, a lot of schools start early on this thread. Liam doesn't go back until the Tuesday after Labor Day and Kindergarten for Caili doesn't start until two days after that. I think Liam is ready for summer to be over, though.


Oh, and don't worry everyone. I won't spoil Becky's surprise.

I wish the kids did not start until after Labor Day. It still feels like summer to me. Kady begins next Wednesday but Marisa is all ready . She hit every supply sale there was this year and has a huge box to send to school for the teacher after my niece "shops" for her classroom. Debbie is a behaviorist in Hartford and makes nowhere enough money (kind of like our servicemen) so having to buy extras out of her own money is obscene!

I knew you were just teasing, half the fun of surprises is trying to wheedle the info out

Last night I got to A&P at the most perfect time. The meat guy had just put markdown stickers out- so I stocked up!

Lucky! My grocery store used to do that nad I always got there early , but it happens rarely now

Not fun!

Recipe, please!!! I love quesadillas, and am always looking for favorite guacamole recipes.

You beat me to it. DD makes quesadillas,, actually it si the only meal she is happy to make so I also want the recipe, please.

I am not cooking tonight. I was going down the cellar stairs, did not see the cat who was stretched out across the second step, went tail over teakettle down the stairs doing somersaults along the way and then landed on my head. I took the cat with me and now he keeps glaring at me like I was at fault . I never did drop the laundry basket though . I have been taking Advil all day but now I am starting to really get sore so Marisa is stopping at the Giant Grinder place we like.

 

[HERSEY]

Oh Nancy I hope you aren't to sore. I did that except with one of my fat dogs, the cats know better.

Oh, that hurts!!! I hope that you are ok. Take it easy tonight. Let the others take care of you, now!

I tripped down the stairs at 8 months pregnant with my son, Jacob. It started me into labor early. Luckily, no complications, but I was sore. I had broken my tailbone during the fall. Imagine pushing during labor with a broken tailbone. I was so happy to have the epidural!!! Recovery was icky, though!

 

[TheBeadPirate]

Kathy Have you all looked at the items at the food boothes for the F&W. I better loose some of this baggage so I can feast.

I figure I can add it on and take it off with what I'm already trying to take off. I'll have to lose 300 lbs to lose 50.

Oh Honey! I hope you feel better! It's one of those I do to my friend Cindy "Oh gosh! Are you all right?" "Yeah, I think so." "Good, cause THAT was funny to watch!" I gotta tell you though- that laundry basket and cat would have both been sacrificed to the landing!

Yep, I grind and clench. The procedure was fine but the novacaine has worn off and I'm really feeling it now. Just popped a pain pill

We're a mess aren't we? Seriously, hope you start feeling better.

I didn't get to check in on this thread all day! I actually had work to do for a change. Drat! Sorry if I missed anything good.

Here's last night's dinner--jumbo shrimp stuffed with crab, sliced tomatoes, and corn fritters:

Tonight we are eating late because DH has an 8 PM conference call with some people in Singapore. At least he can do it from home. So, I am just making panini, not sure what kind yet, and we'll eat them while vegging in front of the TV--watching the Red Sox, probably.

 

[Aimeedyan]

Hey guys!! I've been back from my trip for a few days but have been crazy busy and NOT cooking so I haven't stopped by here. Disney and the cruise were fantastic and I now need a vacation from my vacation =)

Tonight I'm grilling chicken wings and drumsticks. I've never made these before but we really like going to WingStop and Hooters for wings and they are so expensive so I bought a package of frozen ones and decided to give it a shot. I bought a bottle of Sweet Baby Rays, after the mention of it on here, and I think I'll just baste as it grills. Hope it works!

Not sure what we'll have with it. Probably a rice or pasta and beans or something similar. Haven't been to the store since I left on vacation so nothing fresh in the house, sadly.

 

[zipuzee]

Kathy - Hope that pain pill kicks in quick for you. I think the worst kind of pain is when your mouth or teeth hurt.

OUCH!! Geez Nancy take it easy. I'd hate to lose a new friend. I'd probably take it personally
Seriously, I hope you are really okay and feel better soon!


We did bacon cheeseburgers for dinner. Yum! and so healthy. Instead of losing weight for Dis and F&W, I think we are just stretching our stomachs to make sure we have room to enjoy all the good food
And on that note - I just paid off our trip. So yippee to me and now we just wait

 

[FormrCastMbr]

Nancy, I hope you feel better...that sounds like an awful spill you took.

Becky, dinner looks amazing as always!

I had broken my tailbone during the fall. Imagine pushing during labor with a broken tailbone. I was so happy to have the epidural!!! Recovery was icky, though!

OMG! How unbelievably painful that must have been...I had an epidural with A but they gave me too much and then let it wear off...yikes!!!

I am afraid!!! Went to WW tonight, lost another # and then went out to dinner and pigged out...

Yep, I grind and clench. The procedure was fine but the novacaine has worn off and I'm really feeling it now. Just popped a pain pill

Hope its something good!

Welcome back! You will love the SBRs!!!

 

[LindsayDunn228]

Today I am making Crockpot Italian chicken pasta with roasted garlic bread.

WFD at your house?

 

[FormrCastMbr]

We are having the grilled pork chops, teriyaki noodles and sauteed zucchini and summer squash that we did not eat yesterday. We wound up goin out.

Have a great day!

 

[nucpharm29]

Last night I ended up making Porkchops with apples and stuffing. And then a friend invited me out for a "girl's night" dinner. So, we'll be having the pork chops again tonight--at least I will be

Kathy--PD that your gums heal quickly and that pain is history today!

Nancy--OMG, girl, take care of yourself! LOL about not dropping the laundry basket!

 

[Nancyg56]

Oh Nancy I hope you aren't to sore. I did that except with one of my fat dogs, the cats know better.

This is the cat that is oblivious to everything. He is strill trying to be a cat but is never going to get there

I tripped down the stairs at 8 months pregnant with my son, Jacob. It started me into labor early. Luckily, no complications, but I was sore. I had broken my tailbone during the fall. Imagine pushing during labor with a broken tailbone. I was so happy to have the epidural!!! Recovery was icky, though!

I am in pain just thinking about it!

I figure I can add it on and take it off with what I'm already trying to take off. I'll have to lose 300 lbs to lose 50.

I know the feeling......lose weight so that we can gain it back again. What a circle!

As to the chuckle...my family is still laughing! Kady has described to everyone the cartwheel and somersault that Nana did.and how she had to tell Nana to look where she is going.

Kathy - Hope that pain pill kicks in quick for you. I think the worst kind of pain is when your mouth or teeth hurt.



OUCH!! Geez Nancy take it easy. I'd hate to lose a new friend. I'd probably take it personally
Seriously, I hope you are really okay and feel better soon!

I wonder if Kathy and I took the same pill . I don't do drugs well so I had to wait until I went to bed, but I slept reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally well.

We are going to be at the F7W festival as well and I keep thinking about all of the new food that I have to try and of all of the new kinds of wine that I need to sample. Unfortunately I have not lost any weight so I am in trouble.

Nancy, I hope you feel better...that sounds like an awful spill you took.

Thanks Lauren. I can't believe how much better I feel today. I was afraid that it would be worse so I am lucky.

Kathy- Hope you are not in pain today!

Oh My. I'm so sorry. I hope they are able to handle this quickly and with as little pain as possible.

I hope you are feeling better today. This is why we have a ranch style house with one floor. I'm a terrible clutz and I just know I would do this at least once.

Now that sounds like a training program I could follow with no trouble at all.

I figure I can add it on and take it off with what I'm already trying to take off. I'll have to lose 300 lbs to lose 50.

Lori, if I actually sat down and added it all up, I figure I have probably lost a million pounds in my lifetime, give or take a ton. As someone who can gain by walking past the bakery, I have fought this battle since elementary school.

We are having the grilled pork chops, teriyaki noodles and sauteed zucchini and summer squash that we did not eat yesterday. We wound up goin out.

Congrats on the pound lost!

I thought we would be having leftovers tonight, but DS ate like a horse last night and there isn't anything left! So I think tonight we are having pizza casserole with garlic bread and salad.

Have a great day everyone.

 

[Glynis]

Nancy - I'm so glad that you are feeling better today! Take it easy, as your aches and pains may multiply today.

My kids really enjoyed their first day of school, and I'm so glad! I always worry, but it seems like the teachers are going to be just great!

Dinner tonight is Jacob's favorite: salmon! Today I'm making it with a pecan-honey sauce. It sounded good. Of course, Jacob's fillet will have to be "naked" as he only likes lemon juice on his fish. Purist!

Well, the Salvation Army and the Red Cross packed up and left the mine area last night. Alan says that pretty much all hope left with them. The press has been kept in the dark since there was no press briefing yesterday. The best guess is that once microphones and cameras are sent into the 5th hole a decision will be made. If signs of life (or bodies) are seen/heard, they'll drill the hole bigger and send a capsule in to get them out. If not, it will be over.

Our governor is livid over this whole thing, and has ordered an investigation into the Murray company to look for other infractions in mining practices. It's all going to be on the Murray dime, too.
