Good Morning All!

I am not getting any email notifications from the DIS since the boards were upgraded. Am I the only one?

I have to tell you all. I get a lot of teasing about my WFD friends, but since I put all of the cards up my DH reads them all. He asks who is who and of course I have lots to tell him. Lori- he told me his GM always called a sandwich a "sammich" and got a kick out of your card. I think it took all of these cards to make you all as real to him as you are to me.

I'll figure out dinner later on. We are going out for NYE so I shopped for appetizer food for NYD but I can't even think of cooking lately. We have a lot of food that seems to keep piling up in the refrigerator and we love leftovers so maybe we'll just finish them all up. We have another Nor'easter heading our way tonight, we'll see how that turns out.

Tonight it's boo patties and fries.

WFD at your house?

Fries with your boo patties???? Have you lost your mind woman???? Sorry, couldnt' resist....

I think we'll have lasagna... I cheated and bought a Prego Lasagna at Superwalmart yesterday.... everyone here likes it and it's certainly cheaper than making one from scratch.... heck of a lot easier too!

Lindsay Have a double helping of fries

Last night I had pizza no healthy fish. The Pizza was calling to me I thought it might wake the neighbors what could I do?

Not sure if healthy will win tonight or night I will have to see what wins the arm westle.

Nancy No, you are not the only one not getting IM's it seem it was a trade out for the new system. Maybe they wants to gradulately bring everything online so not to overload it all at once.

You're such a thoughtful neighbor.

Nothing healthy here tonight, my guys have been begging for fried chicken, so we'll have the chicken with mashed potatoes and turnip greens - southern comfort food!

Lindsay - Enjoy those fries!!!

Becky - We want more pics!!!!

Hi everyone! Sorry I have been gone for so long but it was hectic through the holidays and afterwards I found my internet connection was down. It was certainly an experience trying to get cable service between the holidays.

I know I have missed a lot and I have read through all of the posts but won't be able to respond to everything.

Sheryl - I'm so sorry I missed your birthday! I hope it was wonderful.

Laura - I got your card on Christmas Eve. Thank you so much for the card and for the extra picture.

I PM'd Lauren about the girls' weekend. It sounds like fun!

What time is dinner? And can I stay for the Prime Rib and bacon wrapped scallops tomorrow?

I'm making Jambalya tonight and that doesn't sound as good to me as what you're having. But I can't fry chicken to save my life (but don't tell anyone - I'd get thrown out of the southern woman society for that).

How did I miss scallops???????????? I'll go with you!

Gretchen-I missed you and am glad you are back!

Hi Guys,

Not sure whats for dinner. I am thinking steak and salad...maybe a carb thrown in there. I haven't really been cooking.

I just placed a grocery order on line, just have to go pick it up. Gotta love that convenience.

Tomorrow will just be Tom and I and he requested his all time favorite...chicken francese and linquine. So I will serve that up with salad and bread. I have so munchies we can also put together and champagne or course. We may be in bed by midnite.

Did anyone see the movie The Heartbreak Kid with Ben and Jerry Stiller? Funny movie! We watched it last night.

Have a great day all!

Ok I might be jsut having a blind moment, but anyone know where Lindsay's Boo patties recipe is?

I just finished watching You got mail, love that movie make me cry everytime.

I'll hold dinner until you get here and of course you'll have to spend the night because we'll be drinking.

You CAN fry chicken. I have the recipe posted here - it's so EASY!!!

I wish we had the luxury of grocery shopping on-line.

I love that Chicken Francese recipe too. Tomorrow night at midnite Johnny will be snoring and I'll be outside sipping champagne and watching fireworks - our yearly ritual.

Forgot - Haven't seen Heartbreak Kid yet but we did watch American Gangster last night, it was awesome.

We saw Charlie Wilson's War last night - very good!! And we went out to Cheddar's for dinner and I made excellent dinner choices. I'm on a strict diet to drop this 10-15 pounds I've added in the last two months. I went shopping for clothes this week and burst into tears. I had no idea I had packed on that much - I'm almost 2 sizes larger.

It wouldn't be as huge of a deal but I have a really really big day coming on Jan 23rd and I wanted to 1)buy a new suit for it and 2)look really good in it. So, I'm trying my hardest to drop it fast. Which also means I need to hit the grocery store for healthy snacks!

Tonight, I am making the BBQ chicken hashbrown casserole thing. I think I'll make a veggie for me and only eat a bite or two of the hashbrowns, and pull off the cheese. That way it'll just be a baked BBQ chicken breast. That should still get me under my daily calories.

I hate dieting.

Here are pictures from last night's nine-course seafood spectacular!

First course, fried oysters...YUM!

Next up, smoked salmon terrine. TOOOO smoky! But pretty...

then, tuna tartar...yum...

sushi for my brother...I put on too much rice but oh well...

next, nantucket bay scallops with lemon buerre blanc, SOOOO yummy:

then, mini cod cakes with tartar, kind of bland...

WORST course, squid....it tasted like FEET!

next, yummy clam chowder:

then, roasted sea bass on lemon and fennel, so tender and moist:

final course...sole in parchment wrapped around a mushroom-scallion stuffing with truffle oil:

Patriots game snack, roasted nuts with rosemary, brown sugar, butter, and cayenne pepper:

tonight's linner coming up next! I love that I figured out how to add the pictures to my posts, finally.

So today I decided to do much less cooking. Behold, the giant italian feast!

First, make a big pot of marinara:

Then, lots of other food. This plate has a sun-dried tomato-ricotta frittata, roasted red onions and fennel, and ricotta salata:

giant hunk o parmesean with balsamic vinegar:

plate of meats and olives:

some fresh mozzarella marinated in red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and something I grabbed from the spice cabinet called pizza seasoning:

two kinds of garlic bread. Cheesy:

and SUPER cheesy:

here are vegetables from the italian grocery. Left to right there are marinated artichokes, sun dried tomatoes, roasted eggplant, marinated mushrooms, and roasted peppers:

Now for the healthy food! Toasted ravioli:

arancini (that's risotto, chilled and rolled into balls around mozzarella cheese, breaded and fried):

big honkin bowl of sausage:

a nice healthy salad (nobody ate any of it):

and, as a final reminder of our healthy meal...CHEESY bread:

As you can see, I made MUCH less food today.


Hmm....hungry....

 

[Nancyg56]

I headin for Boston!

Becky- you served Parmesan with balsamic vinegar. Chris will be home tomorrow and i know that he will be here during his leave for a meal. He would drink balsamic vinegar adn I always have a nice loaf of crusty bread to dip in good olive oil and vinegar, but how do you serve the cheese? I bet he would like that.

Marisa found some soy pizza and mac and cheese today at the grocery store so Kady gorged on pizza. I have been eating cookies in front of the fire place while I try to clean out the Christmas movies on the DVR so no cooking here. I'll just finish off the lemoncello cake . I also have to finish off the opened wine so I don't need to toss it. I will pay for this tomorrow night when I have to somehow get into a dressy outfit for NYE but I'll deal with that later. We are going to see the second Harry Potter movie later on this evening.
