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

Hope its something good!

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

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.

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.

Hi guys, thanks for the well wishes, but unfortunately I have a very high tolerance for pain meds. I'm having to take 2 extra strength vicodins at a time to relieve the pain and the right side of my face is swolen. I just spoke with my dentist and he said my gums are probably irritated from all the deep digging, DUH!!!!!!! He said to give it one more day and take as many pain pills as I need. So I may be pain free but I'll be in a stupor and look like a chipmunk.

WFDT: Eggplant parm with a nice big salad I havent' made that in forever, and its def. one of my favorites!

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.

OUCH!!!!! Nancy, great save on the laundry basket though

For my quesidillas i usually just wing it. basically what i did last night was take 2 of the nice big Mission Tortillas ( per quesidilla) and smear refried beans on one side of each and then add sauted' onions, peppers, grilled chicken and red. fat cheddar cheese to one side, top it with the other beany toritlla and i crisp/melt them on a grill pan, flipping sides till they are equally crunchy will pretty grill marks..i use a pizza cutter to cut them in triangles..
For the guac..i do a simple mix of 3 ripe avacados, 1/4 of a white onion, 2 cloves of garlic and i chop it all up in one of those cool winding choppers..or the magic bullet ...YUM!

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.

YUm...and YAY our Sox won last night!

So I may be pain free but I'll be in a stupor and look like a chipmunk.

are you chip or dale??? OH wait..you must be Clarice!!

Gina - Honey I'll answer to any name today!


ETA - If I'm up to it I'm going to attempt to cook dinner tonight - Chicken fingers in garlic/basil/lime butter, pasta and ???

Having grown up as "Chipmunk Cheeks" and still enduring it into adulthood.... I bet you're still as cute as a button.... .......yeah, fell free to smack me at anytime, cause that's what I always wanted to do to people who called me that.

I think tonight we are going out for dinner.

Today is Alex's first day riding a school bus and first day in middle(jr high) school. Poor thing was so nervous I had to remind him to breath.


Kathy My mouth gets angry when the dentist is poking around too. I hope you start feeling better.

Nancy Glad your feeling better after your trip. My orange cat is unaware he is a cat SHHH! He also is very nosey I lost count of the times I had to fish him out of the laundry tub and the toilet.

Deanna I have a recipe for oven fried parm chicken, not sure if it's like at POP I've never been there. I'll post it tonight.

Hi Y'all!!

I missed too much yesterday to multiqoute everything!

Nancy, So sorry you fell! I would have dropped the laundry & schmooshed the cat to save myself! Hope you start feeling better! That maple glazed planked salmon sounds great! You have to start doing some food porn for us!

Kathy & Hersey, I'm a grinder & a clencher too! The dentist has given me this awful mouthpiece that I can't sleep with at all! I put it in & usually can't fall asleep with it & even when I do fall asleep, I end up finding it chucked across the room in the morning! I have to try using it though, I'm actually grinding all my teeth down & my jaw makes some awful noises. The dentist said I'm going to end up have to get crowns all over my whole mouth if I don't wear it!

I can't believe how many of you commented on my hubby being handsome! After 30 years, we forget these things!!! He is a very good guy & very appreciative of my cooking, I just hadn't noticed the handsome part in a while!

We had a great time at the Equarium (as Alexis calls it) yesterday! She was so excited she got to feed the stingrays! We took the Ferry across the Mighty Mississippi to get there. She had never done that & thought it was the greatest thing. Although she didn't get Ferry & Fairy, at all, so she calls it the Tinkerbell Ferry!!! We also grabbed some beignets & cafe au lait but couldn't walk around the Quarter at all, way too hot!

So I was to worn out to cook last night, ate the rest of Lauren's Yummy London Broil & Becky's Coconut Rice and we were more than happy to have that!

Sorry, if I forgot to mention something. I go off one day & I have 4 pages to catch up on!!

I'm trying to do french bread today! One regular french & one whole wheat. I'll let y'all know how it turns out. Don't know what's for dinner maybe just bread & cheese! Or if the bread is a bomb, it'll be take out!


Just hung up with DH, another WDW trip! Well sort of, he wants to go to the Daytona 500 in February, he called & was able to get rooms at OKWV!!! My Mom is going to join us, so should be fun!

 

[Nancyg56]

Good Afternoon All!

Kathy- You take your pills and relax. Two vicodin would have me in a coma so I think your pain must be sky high!

Sheryl- It's funny how we stop seeing our DH the way others do. I think because after many years together it is not what he looks like but what he is and does that really matters...............Your Alexis sounds like such a sweetie!

Lori- Chipmunk Cheeks Someday I'll tell you my nickname .

deedee832- I tried to find it but so far no luck. Stay tuned, someone here may have it.

 

[Nancyg56]

Glynis- thank you for updating us on the mine accident. I cannot imagine hoe those poor families have been coping so far, now with what is to come . That owner seems to have a lot to answer for and if he was remis he really needs to pay. There is no excuse.

 

[Aimeedyan]

Tonight we're having rotessiere chicken that I picked up at Costco yesterday with chopped spinach and probably some pasta or rice. I will be getting home around 9pm for dinner so I'll eat whatever DH left behind =)

 

[liamandcaili]

Nancy -- I am glad you are feeling better today. Take care of yourself!

Kathy -- Painkillers make me sleep...for about 24 hours at a time. I hope you start feeling better soon.

Sheryl -- Woo-hoo about the unexpected Disney trip!

Dinner tonight was chicken with SBRs Honey Chipotle sauce, eggplant sticks, broccoli, and corn on the cob.

 

[HERSEY]

Good evening! We went out to dinner to celebrate Alex's first day of Middle school. I didn't go overboard on my diet . A small 8 oz flat iron steak with some smashed potatoes (I didn't finish them). Alex had about 1/2 of the steak. He had a really good chicken parm w/angel hair.

Chipmunk cheeks is one of Alex's nicknames poor kid alway had round cheeks.

Glynis Those poor families I don't know how I would cope knowing my husband brother or son was down there

 

[Glynis]

Tonight's dinner was a huge hit! And it was....listening Kathy?.....EASY!!!

I heated up 1/4 cup vegetable oil and 6 tablespoons butter in my large skillet. I then cooked 6 medium sized salmon fillets for about 4 minutes per side, until it flaked easily. Meanwhile, in a small sauce pan, I mixed together 1/2 cup honey, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, and 6 tablespoons of butter. I heated this while the salmon was cooking, and then served the sauce over the salmon! DELICIOUS!!!

 

[TigerKat]

Glynis - That sounds incredible and right up my alley!!!!!!

 

[LuluLovesDisney]

Well, I'm only having frozen chicken strips and salad for dinner, but I wanted to share my news.

During Wishes on 8/14, Rob proposed to me! I was so shocked and so happy when DF told me that he can't wait to make all my wishes come true! My ring is so beautiful and I had the most amazing surprise (SHOCK) of my life! I will be calling soon about my DFTW!

I am really happy and excited and when I get back off cloud nine, I will post some of our food pics, because we had a great trip in every way (including the food!) and now the diet starts seriously!

I will post a picture as soon as I can!

 

[FormrCastMbr]

Congrats again LuLu!!! Why get off the cloud stay there but be sure to share your trippie, pics, planning...we love that stuff!

Nancy -- I am glad you are feeling better today. Take care of yourself!

Kathy -- Painkillers make me sleep...for about 24 hours at a time. I hope you start feeling better soon.

Dinner tonight was chicken with SBRs Honey Chipotle sauce, eggplant sticks, broccoli, and corn on the cob.

Painkillers make me sleep too, but only the Caribbean rum based drink kind. Nancy, I seriously hope you are feeling better soon. I feel your pain. My stairs and my knees have an intimate relationship.

And now, my dinner. Note I have not talked to Laura for a couple of days, but tonight DH and I had....chicken with honey chipotle bbq sauce (note mine was stuffed with pepper jack cheese), corn on the cob, and broccoli--my broccoli was shredded in a slaw with great hill blue cheese....yum. No eggplant sticks, though, since mine are hopeless. Here is the picture:

Hey Y'all!

I'm so excited my french bread came out really good! The white french bread came out beautiful, the wheat I sort of messed up the shape moving it to the pizza stone, but still tasted great! For my first time making french bread, I'm pretty proud of myself! I didn't realize how much cheese I had in the house either, so we had a really yummy dinner!

Here's pics!

The cheese was (from top left) St. Andre. Fleur de Lis Cow's Milk Triple Cream, we actually had this Louisiana cheese at Flying Fish on our last trip. I found it at Whole Foods. Then Amish Blue, and the brown one is the Norwegian Goat's Milk Cheese that was given to us by Bob's Norwegian business associate. With creole tomatoes, apples , olives & proscuitto we were stuffed!
