Laura I know you are so proud of Caili. She looked wonderful in the skating costume and it sounds like she did a great job. (Although being from the deep south, I don't really understand how it is judged, I know it is a difficult sport)

Don't worry, Gretchen, I have no idea how it is judged either!

Dinner tonight was easy...Becky's leftover mutter paneer that she gave me and naan. I've found my new Indian take-out food source...Becky!

I was searching for slow cooker recipes and look what I found http://www.recipetips.com/ They have all kinds of recipes I temporarily got lost looking and forgot why I was there. I had no idea there were so many meatloaf recipes. Ok back to my search

I added this one to my bookmarks. There are a lot of recipes here!

Well, it is that time again and I do have a spooky menu planned:

Breakfast: Red-eye eggs

Lunch: Worm sandwiches

Dinner: Finger sandwiches, bat wings, goblin goo
Should be fun! All are invited!!!

Thank you for the recipe. Your menus are always such fun!

I've done that so many times before. There are so many websites out there, I found this one on the DIS boards and it's, well let's say unique:

I enjoyed this one too, Kathy. Added it as well.

Tonight is chicken soup and crusty bread. I was going to make beef stew but Buddy thought the guys liked the chicken soup the last time I made it, so chicken soup it is!

No pictures from last night's dinner. We ended up going out.

I think tonight is going to be pasta with broccoli but it's kind of early and things might change.

Hi All!

We are having grilled filet mignon, some kind of noodles or rice from a bag and a salad.

Janice and Kathy, love those sights you posted. Thanks!

Riley looks adorable!!!

Thank you!

Lauren I had to laugh at "poor" Riley and his old navy shirt.

I think I am going to run to the store today to see if they have any costumes left. Tom is the one that wants to dress him up...go figure!

Lauren Honestly girl, I tried to see from the photos what you were describing, but I have absolutely no visualization skills. I'll just have to wait to see the finished pics. The tile looks good though.

Thats cause its a mess!!!

Lauren - Riley looks so cute!!!!!!

Thank you!

Alan and I really try to make the holidays special for the kids. Alan came from such a horrific childhood, and really has no memories whatsoever. He wants more for his kids. My childhood was pretty full of traditions, so we're trying to come up with a happy medium. My hope is that the kids will remember the fun family times, and forget about all the times I scream at them to do their chores, clean their rooms, etc. Hopefully it's working.

Glynis, If I did half as much as you, I'd be happy! You do a great job!

I don't think I shared the pic of us from Barktoberfest a few weekends ago. Here is our family:

Aimee, sorry you had a rough day. I know all too well how it feels when a family member says mean things. My sisters have a habit of that. Just be strong and know that it is probably jealousy of some sort.

Good news about Pixie!!! Your pic is great! Thanks for sharing!

My Kady would love to see your pup dressed up...I am not going to show her because she has tried to dress the cats and that was not pretty

Dinner tonight was easy...Becky's leftover mutter paneer that she gave me and naan. I've found my new Indian take-out food source...Becky!

Sounds good to me!

Becky - That's the way DH likes his roast beef, how did you cook it and what cut of roast did you use? He doesn't care for "fall apart" roast, the kind most people like.

Tonight I'm trying the Chicken Enchilada recipe posted by rkwells. Also making refried black beans and taco rice.

Have a great day everyone!

Morning all! Well, we're back from our magical trip to WDW But not too sad, really, we'll be back "home" in January! The weather for the most part was okay--just had some rain on Saturday for F&W. F&W was great, but it was really crowded, so not as much sampling as I would've liked. MNSSHP was AWESOME--one of the best times we've had at the MK! We're already trying to figure out how to do it again next year! I have some pics I'll post later--now it's time to get back to the daily grind

Oh, and WFD--probably spaghetti, b/c that's what I've got in the pantry!

 

[TigerKat]

Welcome back Steph, sounds like you had a great time! Now you know we need to hear about the reaction to the surprise!!!!!!!

Tonight we're having BBQ out. I have a BOGO free dinner coupon that expires Thursday. I think I'll get the usual - brisket and loaded baked potato with hot rolls. YUM.

Thank you my friend! I will be ordering! Did you ever order the beef skewers?

 

[OKWMom]

Stephanie - Glad you had a good time! Did the kids get well in time for the flight? Did they feel ok during the trip?

Kathy - Thanks for the heads up on the Omaha steaks. I'll check into it this afternoon.

Tonight's dinner is a new recipe. Saucy pork chops. I haven't decided what I'm making to go with it. Probably either a corn pudding or cheesy orzo, whichever strikes my fancy tonight.

 

[THE HAT]

afternoon all--

I am doing a bit better, I even made it to Ross' last football game on Sunday!! I get to take my brace off for a few hours a day so that is VERY nice as well!!

I hope to start actually cooking real meals again after Halloween, with me feeling a bit better, and having a bit more use of my left hand, and then to have football done with, it should work out ok!!

Kathy--I hope you know that my heart was with you this past weekend!! You are doing so great with becoming a non smoker!!! I am proud of you my friend!!

Stephanie--glad you had a fun trip, when you get a moment, give us your highlights of it all!!

Lauren--I love your tile, it is beautiful!! I love picking out tile...I have piles of it for our upstairs bath remodel, that has been sitting there for 3 years as Kris is always doing everyone else's jobs, lol...such is life!

Glynis--I love your themed meal..I usually do a special themed snack in Ross class, but this year I will have to skip it, I will do a special holiday one before we leave for WDW instead.

Nancy--How is the knee doing?

It is a beautiful fall day here in Maine..sunny, 53 and we have our #1 Sox to boot!!! Ross is wearing a different Sox shirt every day this week...On Monday he wore all Sox gear from his hat, to his watch, to his own socks,lol!!


Tonight is Ross' halloween class for Karate..they dress up and do some different things. Supper will be sandwiches and veggies and dip.

Hope everyone has had a good day!

Thank you my friend! I will be ordering! Did you ever order the beef skewers?

I sure did, that was on my last order. I haven't tried them yet.

Tonight's dinner is a new recipe. Saucy pork chops. I haven't decided what I'm making to go with it. Probably either a corn pudding or cheesy orzo, whichever strikes my fancy tonight.

If it turns out good would you post it please?

Kathy--I hope you know that my heart was with you this past weekend!! You are doing so great with becoming a non smoker!!! I am proud of you my friend!!

Thank you so much Wendie!! It sure is good to have you back. I'm two weeks smoke-free!!!!

 

[Glynis]

Thank you so much Wendie!! It sure is good to have you back. I'm two weeks smoke-free!!!!

Hooray for 2 smoke free weeks!!! You are one strong lady! Keep it up and know how proud I am of you!!!

 

[Glynis]

Dinner tonight will be bow tie pasta in a cream sauce with chicken and broccoli. I hope it's good. The recipe sounded good. Cross your fingers!!!

It's taken me a while to get on today, as I've had to deal with Halloween crap! Leslie ripped her Snow White costume at a party last weekend, so I had to fix that. I also had to figure out how to make a size 7 stuffed dragon costume fit a size 4 little girl. Last, but not least, I had to make a Sacagawea costume for Katie's wax museum tomorrow. Got it all done, but the fringe. I'll do that as soon as Katie gets home and kicks me off the computer.

Stephanie - It's good to see you back. I want to hear all about the surprise!

Lauren - What costume did you end up with? There were tons of adult size costumes left at Walmart when I went this morning.

 

[TheBeadPirate]

Hey all! I'm back from WDW also but Rick's got me working on data so much this it the first chance I've had to get on. I worked on time tickets yesterday at home and stayed in my jammies all day! Didn't even realize it till it was time to collapse! So i finished those and emailed them to him and already had a file waiting for me to transcribe. I need to catch up at the store too but here I am!

We had a fun time at F&WF! The Village People were a scream! We sat in the front row and the Indian came over after the show and grabbed my hand and called me Baby Girl! (insert swoon here) Let me tell ya, I haven't been a baby girl in a loooonnnnnngggg time! But I had fun singing along and I think Rick was suprised that I knew all the words (my secret fetish- disco). Could only have been better if it was longer and followed by the BeeGees, but sadly that's not to be!

Party for the Senses was great! The food was amazing! Details to follow when I have the program in hand and can remember everything. My "old-timers" is setting in!

And let me tell you- Sheryl is the same in person as she is online! We had a great time. I still haven't unpacked but when I do I'll get some pics on here.

WFD tonight? Ground turkey something with something on the side and water (with a little Diet Coke thrown in for dessert). Trying to drink more water is getting to me....but I made it through Disney drinking more water than Coke...but that paled in comparison to the wine and beer.

 

[HERSEY]

Wendie glad your starting to feel better. I hope Ross has fun at his halloween party.

Kathy for your continued success being smoke free.

Alex and his homework are driving me crazy. He has to find items in our house from different countries He wanted to know where the dogs came from

We are having grilled brats and some kind of side that I still have to decide on.

 

[TigerKat]

Hooray for 2 smoke free weeks!!! You are one strong lady! Keep it up and know how proud I am of you!!!

Kathy for your continued success being smoke free.

Thanks so much my friends.

We have a winner....... the Chicken Enchilada recipe posted by Gina (rkwells) was a HUGE hit. Awesome and "EASY"!!!!!!!!! Just because we tend to like things a little spicy I added about 1/4 c. hot green taco sauce. YUMMO!!

 

[liamandcaili]

Welcome back Stephanie and Lori!

I spent all day sewing Caili's Halloween costume (my Dad said that if there was an opposite for the Latin Semper Paratus -- always prepared -- it would be Semper Lauras) so dinner tonight was pasta with jarred pasta sauce and spinach. It was all I could manage in 15 minutes.
