HI there,
Well Ed is at home...No procedure yet..They have to do a consult with the surgeon who did his open heart surgery and make sure the procedure they want to do is safe..I saw the xray or his corotid arteries... The damaged one you could barely see..It looked thread size ,where the other side was easily visable.
We are having spaghetti and meatballs today.. I'll cook the meatballs outside of the sauce so that DD ca have hers meatless..I'll use the extra GB to make my stuffed peppers(with macaroni not rice) tomorrow.

Keeping you all in my prayers.

Morning all--

Ross is back and full of a million stories...he had the time of his life....they went out lobstering, which was a surprise to the kids. They also went up into the lighthouse at night. He can't stop talking about it. (proud mom moment warning) and one of the dad's that went came up to me, and said that Ross is quite a boy...and couldn't get over how smart he was, that he knew that these were all smart kids, but Ross is scary smart! He also said that he was excellent, and the best behaved. (that meant more to me then the smart part, lol) They didn't get home until 7pm, and they were tired, hungry and very very smelly, lol.

You have every reason to be proud of Ross. Each time you post about him it is clear what a great kid he is, but as a parent I know how important it is to hear form others that the young man you want him to be is the young man he really is. Please keep telling us about him, I like to know how all of my friends kids are doing.

NIce! I think i'm going to treat myself to a mani and pedi today..i am so overdue, it looks like i have talons on my feet!



Tonight: cookout at a friends, so WFD: Reisling ( hahah , i think i am going to try the "relax" kind...) i have been craving wine all week, and because of my "counting calories" i have had to put it off..but not tonight! woohoo!

have a great day everyone!

I am jealous, I need a mani and pedi as well and have not made time. Risa and I want to get one next week before we go, I hope we squeeze it in.

Let me know if you like the RELAX. I like it, but do not have a refined palate. I hinestly can't tell a good wine from one tht is not so good, I just know if I like it

Let me get ya'lls advice on something.


I'm just the worried aunt...

I can't give any more advice than has been offered here, but I also feel that the pediatrician should advise your niece. The Dr is best able to balance the risk vs the benefit. Good luck.

Can you say OW!!

No cooking for me tonight, we'll probably do take-out!

I love take out nights!

No cooking for me!!! Tonight is date night for Alan and me!!! I can't wait! I think we're going to go to Outback Steakhouse. We have a gift certificate that needs to be used!

Have a great time!

Have a great weekend everyone! I'll have bleacher-butt by Sunday evening....3 baseball games & a soccer game !

At least I get another week with her.

I am so glad that a good owner has come forward, but I know you will be sad to let her go.

HI there,
Well Ed is at home....

Keep us posted, Jenny.

Last night we had KFC and cake. Tonight i picked up fish sticks FF and chicken nuggets. I have no idea if we will end up having them, I landed wrong on my leg and now I am very sore. I am off it for the rest of the night.

Let me get ya'lls advice on something.
My DB and SIL have a 3 month old baby boy. He was having trouble with his formula - spitting it up. So they tried some different formulas - same thing.
Well my brilliant Mother told them he's spitting up because of the iron. That he should just drink regular cows milk. So they now give him a bottle of 2% cows milk every few hours.

I am sure your SIL doesn't want to do anything to harm her baby. Have her talk to the pediatrician. 12 months for cow's milk was pretty firm for my children, although they were allowed to have cheese or yogurt earlier than that.

Dinner tonight is grilled chicken, eggplant sticks, and roasted asparagus.

Oh no! Take care and stay off of it my friend.

Nancy, Oh my. Please, please, please rest and feel better...

She snores like a freight train!! Our Shih Tzu snores some but nothing like this one! She wakes us up at night =)

I was going to take her today but DH's coworker has decided she def wants her, knows everything about her, and is going to pay the pet deposit at her apt next Friday after she gets paid so we're going to take her to her apt next week, let her get accoustamed, and leave her. Man, just thinking about it is making me eyes swell up! We thought about having them meet today and if the lady wants her, she could come get her tomorrow but since she doesn't have the pet deposit paid yet SHE decided the responsible thing would be to wait until she does. Sounds like a winner! She's a first time dog owner so I'm telling her things she needs to have set up for her.

At least I get another week with her.

Great news! And since she is going with a coworker, you will get to see her once in a while!

Oh, Nancy! Please take care! I'm so sorry about your leg. Let everyone else baby you for a while. You have to be tip top for your trip!

 

[liamandcaili]

Nancy -- I hope you feel better. A good way to stay off your feet is to go for that pedicure.

Well, we didn't end up having asparagus because I didn't have any. I was completely convinced I picked some up the last time I got vegetables, but unless the kids snuck into the refrigerator and ate it raw rotfl2: ), then I didn't. Since I didn't have anything else green, it was just the chicken, the eggplant sticks and raw carrots.

last time I thought I bought something but couldn't find it. I did find the chicken a couple days later after I was hunting down the strange smell It slipped under the seat.

Nancy Take care of that leg.

Aimeedyan You are a better person that me I couldn't give up those babies.

 

[Aimeedyan]

We had the Shepherds Pie tonight - I think it was someone's recipe on here? Irish Rover?

Anyhoo. I really liked it but DH didn't. He picked all the celery and carrots out but did eat the rest. I told him that was fine, eat it for now and I just won't make it again =)

 

[LindsayDunn228]

Back earlier in the year, my husband and I decided to read The Stand. I finished it a month or so ago and Scott finished it this week. To celebrate, we are going to Ruby Tuesday's for lunch and a blondie Yes, the book was long and tedious, but my husband is a slow reader and was really happy he read the book. Corny I know, but we have fun

WFD at your house?

 

[FormrCastMbr]

We are having the left over flank steak from last night...probably on rolls/sandwiches. Not sure of the sides yet.

Have a great day!

 

[HERSEY]

Good morning! I'm taking a rest before I start really cleaning.

I think today we are eating out I don't want dishes. Tomorrow we will be in the Disney by the time some of you are waking up. I hope I can sleep tonight I'm so excited in case you can't tell.

Lindsay It's good you and your husband read. It seems to be a lost art this days. We are bringing the new spiderwick book with to read so we can be up to date when the movie comes out. I enjoyed those books now Alex is hooked.

Nancy Take care of that knee. My old knee hurt a little coming up from the basement this morning. We have been having some cool mornings low 50's.

Everyone else I'll try to take lots for food pictures to tide you over for your trips.

 

[TigerKat]

Janice - I hope you have a safe and wonderful trip. I'm the same way the night before - too excited to sleep!!!! HAVE FUN !!!!!

Nancy - I hope you're feeling better today!

Gretchen - How are you??????? Please check in!


Tonight we're having Redfish Meuniere with Lemon Spaghetti. I found another ancient recipe that I haven't made in decades - Walnut Cherry Cake !!!!

 

[liamsaunt]

Janice, whoo-hoo! Have an AWESOME trip!

Nancy, sorry about your leg. I hope it feels better this morning.

Jenny, good thoughts coming you way for Ed! (Oh, and how about those RED SOX!! )

Here are some photos from last night's dinner. Guacamole--very chunky with lotf of cilantro, the way I like it:

And, the fish tacos:

yum...more tacos:

Even though these are WFB photos, I am posting them for my friends in the New Orleans area--more cooking from the N.O. package. Chicory coffee (YUM!! I like this even better than regular coffee!)

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1355/1457891767_bf69e67922.jpg

And, for your amusement, my attempt at beignets. (they look nothing like the photo on the package!! They tasted good though--I did add more sugar after I took this picture.):

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1078/1458757016_4f78c45f35.jpg

Tonight I am making the ricotta gnocchi I had on the agenda earlier this week, a big salad, and something with chicken, not sure what yet.

 

[TigerKat]

Becky - YUMMO on the fish tacos!!!! I couldn't live without my chicory coffee. Let us know when you run out, I'd be happy to send more! The beignets look yummy also!!!

 

[HERSEY]

Just finished printing our broading passes.

Becky I'm going to miss your pictures. You wouldn't want to see my first attempt at beignets

Cubs are in the play offs wouldn't that be something if it was the cubs and the red sox?

 

[liamandcaili]

last time I thought I bought something but couldn't find it. I did find the chicken a couple days later after I was hunting down the strange smell It slipped under the seat.

I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time, just like Becky wasn't amused when she left a chicken sitting on the dining room chair all day and overnight, but it's amusing now.

Cubs are in the play offs wouldn't that be something if it was the cubs and the red sox?

It could mean only one thing -- the Apocalypse is near.

Have a great trip, Janice! I can never sleep the night before Disney either ... that's why we're taking a night flight so we wake up there

My parents, the kids and I are going to an Oktoberfest after Liam's soccer game today. If the food looks decent, I'll have dinner there. If not, I'm not sure. It will just be me and Caili because Liam is heading to the Red Sox. It should be a festive atmosphere at Fenway tonight.
