Sheryl- I hope that you are up to the trip tonight. It would be awesome to eat at John Besh's restaurant on someone else's dime!
Kathy- You can spread your depression out here. We'll share it with you.
Chris did make it with his GF. Dinner was roasted chicken, baked potatoes, broccoli and green beans. We had his baguette with balsamic vinegar and oil as well. I bought tiramisu and Limoncello cake at Costco but they were not hungry for dessert. To tell you the truth they were both troopers but we bored the socks off of them. His Mom will be proud, especially after Kady cornered them with a gynormous I Spy type book
I hope everyone is feeling better.

Alex loves Costco's tiramisu, where is the Limoncello cake found bakery? I loved those I spy books. Alex drove me crazy with them he had to have them all.
Anywho, glad you got to spend time with Chris.

Tonight we had our cheese plate, so it was assorted crackers and breads; brie, gouda, gruyere and cheddar cheeses; a spinach salad with gouda and candied pecans; and baked apples.
Here's my really complicated baked apples recipe
Wicked Easy Baked Apples (serves 4...unless you are talking about my kids and then it serves 2)
4 apples, preferably Macintosh, but any baking apple will do, peeled and cut into pieces
cinnamon
pat of butter
You can add a little brown sugar if your apples are tart
Put apples into microwave safe bowl. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Top with butter. Cover and microwave for 3 minutes. Stir. If apples seem too firm, microwave a minute more. Stir again. Serve.
Tough, huh? The funny thing is that whenever I make them for guests, not only does the house smell good but everyone loves them!
ETA: Nancy, I'm glad you got to see Chris!

Y'all, this recipe was very tasty and low calorie too! It is also very quick, I fixed it in about 15 minutes.
Maple Balsamic Glazed Pork Tenderloin
Ingredients
1/4 cup maple syrup
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 (1-pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Combine syrup and vinegar in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook until reduced to 1/3 cup (about 3 minutes), stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in mustard.
Cut pork crosswise into 8 pieces. Place each pork piece between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or small heavy skillet.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork evenly with salt and pepper. Add pork to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side. Add vinegar mixture; cook 1 minute or until desired degree of doneness, turning pork to coat. Place 2 pork medallions on each of 4 plates; drizzle about 1 tablespoon syrup mixture over each serving.

Great - my refrigerator/freezer just died tonight.
Oh no!!! I'm so sorry =(
Kathy Sorry to hear about your frig. I don't like appliance's to go out without prior notice. I hope you can get a repairman out to figure the problem and get it fixed.
I may grill out tonight.Yes you heard me correctly. It 40 degrees right now. I may put out the lawn chairs
of course I may get a little wet since it might rain too.
Aimeedyan How are you feeling?
Sheryl I hope your neck is doing a little better too.
Laura Those apples sound delish
Last night we watched Underdog which I rented from Netflix. It was a pretty good movie. Hershey was pretty jealous. I think we might have missed some parts since we were watching the goofy dog watching the movie.

Today we are going to Red Lobster, running a few errands, and possibly a movie. The day's plans are unsure.

WFD at your house?
And now for an update on:

WFD at your house?
All right, that's just about enough of that outta you. You get your butt out of lurkdome and come back and chat with us!!! We love you!
And now for an update on:
The Romance of the Smitten Kittens
Bear with me. I have a lot to cover.
I felt soooooooooo much better talking to Kevin Wednesday night. Seriously, you have no idea. I was e-mailing him about something else on Thursday, and made a point to tell him something along the lines of, "I hope you know you and Robin are always welcome at our house. Please don't wait for an invitation." Well, Robin called me Thursday night. We had been yakking off and on all day on AIM, which she has on all day for work anyway. She had said many times how bad of day she was having. I told her to feel free to call me when she got off if she needed to vent. The poor girl got home at 8:50 and called me and we were on the phone until 10.
Anyway, I made mention to her something like, "If you guys are ever bored and don't have any idea what you want to do, please know that you are always welcome at our house. Please don't wait for an invitation. Just let me know so I can make sure I'm not in my pj's, LOL!" kind of thing. *After discussing soooooooo much with Kevin and realized he cared about us, AND the four of us as a whole, a lot more than I realized, I wanted to make sure they knew they could "pop in" anytime. And I meant it.*
Oh, one more thing. I told you guys we were going to let them come to us for awhile and let them make the plans. So I didn't invite them over last night like I had been. But I wanted them to know if they wanted to come over on a Friday night not to wait for us to invite them.
Anyway, I got a text message from Robin yesterday morning. It said, "Want me to bring the stuff to make Le Cellier soup tonight?" I laughed and told Scott, "I think we are having company tonight!" You don't know how much that pleased me. Am I making sense?
So they came over last night. Robin brought in ingredients to make Le Cellier beer cheese soup (it's killer, I'll post the recipe if you want). We sat around and talked forever and watched some episodes of Scrubs. At one point we had 2 separate conversations going: me and Robin, and Scott and Kevin. Kevin was talking about the 4 of us going up to Pigeon Forge here soon. Robin and I can go shopping, and he and Kevin can go biking at Cades Cove. So we are making plans for all of us again
So all is well with all of us and there is no more "please please please get a room" vibes in the room anymore. They toned it down a LOT and we are no longer uncomfortable. Plus, the element of friendship with us had been bumped up a thousand.
Oh, I also found Kevin some good general practitioners in the area to get his problem taken care of. He thanked me for them yesterday and said he was going to get right on that. I'm so glad. What a horrible burden to have to carry with you for so long.

Morning all--didn't get to the Jambasta last night, so it will be on the menu tonight. Last night ended up being pizza out again. I'm getting pre-trip, pre-race jitters so I'm just a big ball o'stress right now. Guess it's a good thing I'm working this weekend, to keep my mind on other things
Kathy-- and more Sorry about the fridge

A dead refrigerator is NO FUN! Are you going to try to get it fixed or just bite the bullet and buy a new one?
Due to bad weather, my son's "NYE part for the elderly" had to be postponed until today- so I have to go to my Mom's and make some cheese spread and shrimp dip. I'm trying to lose weight and this will be a challenge. I had lost a pound and a half this morning on the scale so I'm going to cling to that thought at the party.
I need some ideas on what to do with boneless chicken breasts for dinner tonight. Something without a lot of fat and calories. I thought maybe a lemon and garlic stir fry kind of thing, throw some frozen green beans in it and a little fresh grated parmesan. Maybe serve it over a little angel hair pasta.

Fridge update - Not sure what's going on. After we took everything out and stuffed it all into the frig in the garage I tried calling for service(we have an in-house service warranty) and they were closed, I have to call back today. Now it seems like the darn thing is working again.... I'm waiting on DH to "analyze this situation and make a decision" on whether to put in the call for service.
. If his highness decides not to put in a call and it goes out again, he can do all of the unloading next time.
WFD - Surf & Turf, Omaha Strip Steaks and King Crab Legs!!!

That made me laugh my Dad would say that and then head for the restroom. He would usually come out and say "We will just watch it for a few days and then see"

Doing much better, thanks for asking! The culprits seem to have worked out and I'm now nervous to eat anything that hasn't been cooked to death.
Tonight's dinner is grilled steak, spinach, and baked potatos. Maybe a small salad, too.
Yep, it's 75 degrees here today. It was 25 earlier this week. NUTS!!! But at least we can grill in comfort
DH is golfing so I'm working from home and watching trashy TV. Aw, I love Saturdays like this.
I hope I am not imposing here but I just thought I would add what I am having for dinner tonight.
I have a chick roast in the crock pot when it is done it will be turned into shredded beef~I have been so hungry for it that I decided to make it today.
I also am having a beer cheese fondue (I read it on a thread last night and thought I would give it a try)
I also have a pot of sauce on for tomorrows dinner.
