I got it from the Times Picayune (our local newspaper) many years ago and the family loves it!

While we were there I got the call that my Gram's prolly has 30 days or so to live so I'm trying to get things worked out here for the store, Wanna B, Rick, etc so I can head up there. NOT looking forward to it. Kathy, I understand completely now. This is the woman who raised me(my mom died when I was 6) and I don't want her to go, but yes I do- I know she's miserable and doesn't want this.

Thanks for wondering where I've been. It makes me glow to know I was missed. I missed talking to ya'll too. Especially after going throught the bajillion million pages that I missed!

I'm so sorry about your grandmother! Please know that she and you will be in my prayers!

Lots of catching up this afternoon - I actually had to work this morning at work.

Lauren - I didn't google Tom's diagnosis because I know I will worry about it from now until you hear from the doctor. When it comes to health problems (mine and those of friends and loved ones), I tend to "borrow trouble" as my late grandmother would say, so I'm simply going to pray for you and wait for what I hope will be good news.

Lori - I am ashamed and not a very good diet buddy. I fell off the wagon this weekend on our anniversary and have gained 4 pounds. I started back dieting yesterday and hope to have some of your willpower. I'm so very proud of you for making wonderful choices in VERY tempting situations. I know you must be really excited about nearly being in that smaller size. Congrats!

I'm so sorry about your grandma. If we can help at all, please let us know.

Kathy - Love the birthday presents. I like getting cooking stuff too. As a matter of fact I bought myself a mandoline for Mother's Day. When I told Kenny I wanted one and saw the clueless expression on his face I told him I would pick it up myself. Lord only knows what I would have ended up with otherwise.

I wish you all could have seen my husband chasing kittens through our back yard last night. We now have 5 of the 8 treated and are trying to figure out how to catch the final 3. We are still hoping to find homes for everyone. Our local shelter is full and told Kenny they had to euthanize all animals brought in. Now considering this is the man who stopped traffic to get a baby deer out of the road, you can imagine there is no way he would deliver any of the animals into a death sentence.

Anyway, I am actually making dinner tonight. We are having Glynis's Pizza Meatloaf Muffins. Lori, I'm making all of them with the 96% lean beef and 2% milk mozzarella. Kenny and the kids will have spaghetti and garlic bread with theirs, I will have salad with mine.

Hope I haven't left anyone out, if so I'm sorry.

Gretchen

Hi, everyone! Dinner tonight will be something with ground beef. Not sure what, though. It's going to depend on how hot my house gets. DH gets home in a couple of hours, so it will be nice to have him back.

Starting tomorrow we'll be camping, so I won't be posting until Monday (maybe Sunday night). Dinners at camp will include:

Tomato soup and sandwiches
Spaghetti and meatballs
Taco salad
Dutch oven chicken and potatoes
Dutch oven lasagna

kathy--yummo on the Royal Easy recipe! Thanks for posting!

Well, the sun has finally peeked through the clouds and the rain has stopped. Time to go outside and play--thinking the rain we've had this summer is part of my funk, feeling better already seeing the sunshine!

Funny you should mention that - Kyle ratted and told me Johnny didn't have a clue what a mandoline was, good thing he was smart enough to ask for help! It's Farberware, nothing fancy, but good enough for me.

Glad DH is coming home, enjoy your camping trip, it sounds like a fun family time!

Tonight we had shrimp cocktail (very good) and lobster. I decided I'm not making lobster anymore...too messy, too much work. Next time I'm buying the frozen lobster in a can in the frozen food section-yummy and all the work is done for you...and no mess!

Now wouldn't it have been funny if you ended up with some fancy schmancy music instrument with lessons and all! We could put ya in a cajun band once ya learned up some!

And you don't have to listen to the poor things scream! In case you didn't see our "discussion" a while back, the Northern or should I say New England gals were messing with me.

That's exactly how he remembered the name of what I wanted!

 

[HERSEY]

Kathy That chicken recipe sounds wonderful I'll have to try it.

Lori I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother We are always here if you need us. To you for keeping up with the dieting. So far I'm all talk.


We are having steak fajita's I did literally run through costco to get the 2 things I really needed (milk and piggy ears for the dogs) I had to get back home before the storm hit. Poor old Minnie doesn't like thunder and lightening. Hershey could care less.

 

[liamandcaili]

Wow, I had a lot to read just from last night!

Now throw the brothers in there and there are 7 of us. My Dad called me Muffin all the time (that was our dog)QUOTE]

My maternal grandmother had a huge family -- 19 surviving brothers and sisters -- and two of the brothers and two of the sisters had the same name. I guess they ran out of ideas after a while.

Lauren, I hope everything turns out to be fine with your health. I know it is hard not to worry, but a lot of the time, the doctors see something off and just want to eliminate worse-case scenarios. I underwent a bunch of tests this past fall because I was experiencing vertigo. After a CAT scan, the radiologist said, "Well, it's probably nothing, but you could also have a brain tumor." I know my mom barely slept for two weeks, and I nearly had a full-blown panic attack during the MRI, but everything was fine. I hope you get the same good news.

i saw a recipe page 494 for lemon icing ?

I think that might have been me, but it was for cookies. I love baking, but I don't make too many cakes.

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.

I am so glad you had a great time. I laughed at Buddy in the coma over the grill.

This is the woman who raised me(my mom died when I was 6) and I don't want her to go, but yes I do- I know she's miserable and doesn't want this.

to you Lori. It is a difficult time.

I like getting cooking stuff too. As a matter of fact I bought myself a mandoline for Mother's Day. When I told Kenny I wanted one and saw the clueless expression on his face I told him I would pick it up myself. Lord only knows what I would have ended up with otherwise.

That is my DH. One year, I had him give Beck the money he would have spent on Christmas gifts for me. That way, the gifts would still be a surprise, but I would have a much better shot at getting things that I wanted.

Dinners at camp will include:

Tomato soup and sandwiches
Spaghetti and meatballs
Taco salad
Dutch oven chicken and potatoes
Dutch oven lasagna

This sounds much better than the food at my last camping experience. Have fun!

Well, the sun has finally peeked through the clouds and the rain has stopped. Time to go outside and play--thinking the rain we've had this summer is part of my funk, feeling better already seeing the sunshine!

I hope you continue to feel better!

Sheryl -- I plead ignorance. I have no idea what a muffaletta is.

Kathy -- I think you should give your dinners the Royal treatment.

Okay, I think I've caught up, but I may have missed something. The kids keep interrupting me (come on, what's up with that? Don't they know I'm DISing?? ) Dinner tonight was salad, crusty bread and corn on the cob.

 

[liamsaunt]

Last night ended up being kind of a disaster dinner wise--I could not get the pizza dough to stetch even though I tried two different balls of dough. Then I got really hot and annoyed, so decided to go on stike, but realized I did not have enough time to get takeout before Big Love. I ended up making us sausage and pepper subs. They were fine, but I really wanted pizza!

Tonight we are having a chicken I am cooking in my rotisserie with lots of spices, a salad of tomatoes, sweetonions, lettuce, and haluomi cheese broiled onto baguette slices, and corn on the cob.

I am feeling better today too! Hooray!

Tomorrow I am taking the day off from work and going to the Cape with Laura and the kids. Maybe I will take a picture of the clam roll I am going to eat after the beach. Yum...clams!

 

[TigerKat]

Laura - Have a great time tomorrow, check this out on the muffaletta:

Becky - So glad you're feeling better. I want a pic of that clam roll girl! Have a great time!

Yum! Sounds good! Thanks for educating me.

I am sure Beck will be taking photos tomorrow, and I guarantee at least one of them will be of the clam roll.

Well, my good mood was short lived. We did get to play outside and I got my burgers and dogs grilled--but then of course the rain started again. But what made me the madest was that at 6:30pm DH calls to say he's going out with people from work for dinner. Normally, I wouldn't mind, but he could've at least called earlier, I already had dinner plated and on the table waiting for him. Anyone have an extra freezer I could use???
