. He is a man who likes his dinner though so..............
Oh my, I missed a lot yesterday!
Sandy- I laughed when you forgot to post dinner, I am usually talking so much I forget that this is a dinner thread
OceanAnnie- I would love your recipe for the dump cake. I like to tinker with recipes as well.
Sheryl- I loved Sandy's birthday greeting to our Queen also. I broke open my little, and I mean little, bottle of Rosa last night to celebrate and it was amazing. My sis and I each had 1/2 of a glass. I told you it was small. I am taking the bottle to the guy I like to buy wine from, he said he would get it for me...we can't find it here.
Laura- I think I have affectionately referred to the two of you as the Liams Family.
Dislifer- I am in CT also, and it is hot here!
MinnieM21-
Becky- I hope that you and your DH feel better soon. This cold has been with you for a while now.
I didn't see that the recipe called for 2 (!) 21 oz. cans of pie filling. I used about 7 fresh peaches. LOL. Luckily we really like the cakey part. Still very tasty even with rather sparse peaches. (I saw my snafu when I was "sprinkling" the cake mix on top. Way disproportionate.) Anyway, I sprinkled brown sugar over the peaches and was looking for some more spices. Couldn't find them quick enough so I used pumkin pie spice. LOL. What the heck. It had everything I was looking for. Tasted great. I put strawberry cheesecake ice cream on top of it, while it was warm. It was one of those, "I have to enjoy this alone.", moments Paula Deen talks about. It was that good! 
I hope you had a wonderful day, I know it is hard not having your boy with you, but I know that his phone call was such a great gift to you today!! I had a toast to you at supper tonight, Kris and Ross raised their glasses as well....what can I say my "boys" are good sports to my oddness
Dinner tonight was made 100% by Ross..
to your guys for understanding our oddness!!!
DSIL grilled the meat to perfection once again, and this was with a shabby grill. I am going to need to break down and invest in a new one, but I want one with all of the bells ands whistles, so DH is almost in a coma thinking about it
Honestly, thanks for all of the well wishes for my family. I have not seen Timmy in 2 years so having him and Chris here together was one of my happiest days.
Thinking about poor Buddy! I'm so happy you had such a wonderful day having them both together!!
Hi Nancy,
I got the recipe from recipezaar. It's really good and so easy! With that said, I goofed it somewhat.
Now WFD - I didn't plan this but we're having Royal Baked Chicken(mushrooms & artichokes), pasta & green beans!
He really is such a good sport about all of my teasing.
Jusy trying once again thanks for being patient liamandcali
I still get confused with it.
I spent the day taking care of my grandmother as we had her yearly evaluation for home care and then I had to take her to get her stitches checked and some more X-rays, after that I took her for some lunch and brought her home. Ross and I then ran a ton of errands to get things ready for his karate boot camp this weekend.
I even have the japanese symbol for Queen tattoo'd on me....Kris has King......uh oh...I have just revealed my wild side to you all..
Gretchen- you and Lauren are the Cat Whisperers.....that is great that you are taking care of them!!
Lauren--I hope that things are "OK" for you health wise....I am sure you are getting worried and a bit frustrated at this point as well. We are all here for you!! Prayers said for you and

cat. I wish Tom didn't have allergies or she would be inside with us.

Morning all! I've been in a tired funk the past couple of days--if I didn't know any better, with the moodiness and cravings I would think I was preggers.
don't know~ I think it's great Ross cooked the whole thing! Prayers here
for your grandma! AND your food looks awesome! Love the lemon meringue, so pretty!
Hope your wine guy finds some big bottles of it very soon! 
I handled claims for a small HMO whose method of payment was to do everything possible to avoid payment!!! And I had to take the phone calls from the patients! Yeah that job lasted about a year. What I wouldn't pay to have someone else come in to clean up after me!
Morning Y'all,
Didn't do any cooking last night, DH brought home a muffaletta for dinner. Mmm-mm.
Lauren, I know you must be really starting to worry now! Saying some prayers for you friend that everything will turn out fine!
Y'all have a good one!
Sheryl
The doctor was pressing on my neck and told me my pituitary hormones are off so now I have a sore throat and a stuffy nose (that is kinda where the pituitary is). Go figure.
Oh, I have always wanted to try Muffaletta....I have to come visit!!!
Thanks for the prayers. I always think the worst and I always get sympathy pains.
Tom thinks he has diagnosed me, with Googled help, with Hashimoto's...we'll see in a couple weeks.
hang in there, girlfriend!! 
I do this with Rick. I don't know how we'd ever keep up with a child. I was lucky that StepS Nick was almost 16 by the time I was introduced.
I'll make sure to pass on to Rick that he gave you a thrill on your birthday!I had to share this with y'all - I cannot go to the grocery store without giggling when I pass the Magic Shell. I just did it again
Lori - Where are you? I can't help thinking about Rick when i see it!
He'll think that's hysterical....right up there with "Are you Kathy? NO! Are you Kathy?" 
You've been elected as diet buddy-so I had to let you know! And I've almost dropped a size- the next size down is a little tight still but I can button and zip if I don't try to breathe real hard. I missed talking to ya'll too. Especially after going throught the bajillion million pages that I missed!
I'll post the chicken recipe - it's very good!I can't believe I did it
That's tonight - it always comes out good and so EASY!Kathy, How'd that ROYAL Chicken turn out!
Thanks for the prayers. I always think the worst and I always get sympathy pains.
Tom thinks he has diagnosed me, with Googled help, with Hashimoto's...we'll see in a couple weeks.
Even if it's hot dogs - they'll be "Royal" dogs.
Saying some prayers.
