Wendie, I am so glad your Mom is doing better! You must be so happy.
And good luck to Kyle with his games being scouted! Great name for a pitcher.
Yesterday I made comfort food, we had a good friend over for dinner and the game. his Dad, who he has been caring for, passed away last Sunday at the age of 90 so I wanted to make something he would like. This is chicken, stuffed with proscuitto and brie, served over pasta with a sauce asparagus, white wine, chicken stock, and parmesean cheese. We also had garlic bread (not pictured):
Not photoed are all the crazy snacks I made to go with the game! The biggest hit, as always, was the buffalo chicken dip. I swear, if you want to make a man swoon at your feet, you should make buffalo chicken dip. My DH literally kissed my feet after eating some of it! I also had three other dips, all dairy based (onion, hot pepper, and herby scallion), with chips, and I also made nachos, and put out honeyed bourbon chicken wings (I did not make the wings, I bought them from my local store). It was all yummy, and of course the Patriots won, hooray!
Here is today's dinner. Some nice, refreshing, healthy salad, with radish, carrot, red onion, pistachios, gouda cheese:
lasagna! here is the meat one:
It has ground beef AND sausage in it.
The vegetable one, with spinach and mushrooms:
and, more garlic bread:

You must be so excited!

I would not have one if they don't want one. I would host a nice cocktail party or something like that. When it is a little closer to their date and the fuddy duddies have gotten over their snit, then I would plan a celebration.
( I have a whole other set and they are different) Anyway, my Sis IL told me she chose an engagement ring and her soon-to-be fiance will give it to her on Valentine's Day. They are both going to try to have their previous marriages annulled as both were married to freaks, and then will set a date. I am going to stand up for her. She was alone for so very long so I am very happy for her. My MIL, her mother is happy but I think a little scared. She lost two sons, a daughter and her husband so she is going to be alone after Janice leaves. She is incredibly strong so I know that it will all work out.
