The What's For Dinner Thread - August '09(recipe index in OP)

No decision on WFD..hopefully take out.

Greg dropped my car off this morning for a tire change, it had a bubble in it after he drove into a pot hole yesterday morning & something else snapped... the axel is what was holding the tire on......
After the pot hole he drove all the way to Long Island & back. Thank the Lord the tire didn't fly off while driving the highways or George Washington Bridge.
He could have been so hurt. He isn't seeing that right now he is just focusing on the $1,000+ dollars:sad2:

Nan, how is Buddy? How are you?
 
Unfortunately, Caili is not feeling better. I took her to the doctor, and it sounds like Caili has pneumonia. We had to go for a chest x-ray, and I am waiting to hear the results. This came on really fast -- she only started coughing yesterday -- so my mom is thinking it may be H1N1 related. I'll know more after I hear back from the doctor.

Oh my, I surely hope it's not H1N1.:hug: I will be keeping her in my prayers. I just found out one of Kyle's friends was just diagnosed with it yesterday.:sad2:

Alexis is doing well, she saw the dr this morning. He said to be aware that c-diff is hard to get rid off. Not to be surprised if it comes back when we finish this round of antibiotics. At the 1st sign of diarrhea, we'll have to send in a specimen. She may need several rounds of stronger antiobiotics. He said to be vigilant with the lactobacillus. Ugh. She was able to get the nasal flu vaccine today, even though she threw a fit over that. I guess she's just had enough of doctors.

Poor child has got to be very sick of Dr's and anything associated with them.:hug::hug:

OK, gotta run...Bon Jovi is going to be playing tonight too...and Bruce has a permit at the stadium until 1am!!!!

Have a great one all!

OMG, you know I'm a BonJovi freak, take some pics!!!!!!! Enjoy your night my friend, you deserve it!!:thumbsup2

Well here is another Matthew update:

He didn't do as good on the 6 holes to make up from yesterday. I just knew he wouldn't!!:confused3 And instead of 18 holes today they only played 9. He shot a 41. Not real great but not a total waste either.

Continued good thoughts for Matthew!!!!!! You must be so proud of what he's already accomplished!:thumbsup2

Just a quick update -- Caili is improving. She is now awake and she had a little to eat, so I am hoping this really is just pneumonia. Who ever thought I would say that? Flu would be worse though.

BBL. Thanks for all the good thoughts and prayers!

Prayers offered that it's not the flu. Take care my friend.:hug: Please keep us posted.

Nan, how is Buddy? How are you?

I am with Greg. I think I would be sick if I got a bill $1,000:scared1::scared1:
But you are right he is very lucky.

How is your DM and DMIL doing???

Laura, I sure understand hoping for just pneumonia! Prayers that's all that it is! :flower3: At the beginnning of the week we were wishing for the flu just something besides an infection in the abdomen. Well we got our wish, but who knew that a little bacteria could be such a bad thing.

Robin, $5 a lb lobster!:banana: I hope your hubby enjoys his "very expensive" anniversary dinner!!! ;)

Maria, Sorry about the car troubles! I was wondering what in the world possesed you to take on the attic! Now I know, a remodeling project! ;)

Glynis, I'm sorry you don't get to go out, but I hope you get a freezer full of elk!!

Ellen, How much more do you think I need to slow down? I slept until almost 11:00 this morning!! :goodvibes I really want to get my washing & most of my packing done today & this weekend. I'll have A before & after school everday until we leave on Thursday. So it needs to be done. Plus I tend to get a little crazed with last minute packing. I promise you I'll be less stress if I get it done now! I do love how much you worry about me!:goodvibes Prayers for Matthew! I'm sorry I didn't get Jay's package done this week. If things are good, A & I will do it this week. If not it might have to wait until after our vacation.

Kathy, Did you go to the dr? Are you okay?
 

Ann, I'm done with much of the purging in the attic

Lauren, we decided not to go to Bruce tonight.L
You are one focused woman!

It really is a good thing you say home tonight. It would be horrible if you got sick before your trip.

Buddy is okay today. He would not say much because Welby and Nola came by and he was playing with the baby. Welby started to fuss about his back and he told her he was fine. Nola would not understand why he pal was not rolling around the florr and tossing her around.

I have an appt with my Dr. for Monday morning, hopefully I will be getting a cortisone shot.

I hope that this seals the deal and you are pain free!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, this is not fair! She has been sick too much, poor kid :sick:

Honestly, I do not blame her. She has seen oo many Dr's lately, adn they have prodded and poked her way too much!

OK, gotta run...Bon Jovi is going to be playing tonight too...and Bruce has a permit at the stadium until 1am!!!!

Have Fun!!

He didn't do as good on the 6 holes to make up from yesterday.

I will be in the kitchen all weekend canning apples, making apple pie filling, apple pies, applesauce and apple butter. I love this time of the year. Come Sunday my pantry shelves will be full. Let the snow blow - I am ready!!

I know he is going to do awesome!

I have not made apple anything in too long. You are inspiring me!

BBL. Thanks for all the good thoughts and prayers!

Pretty sad when you have to be glad that a child has pneumonia :sick: Poor thing, I am glad she is responding to the medicine.

No worries. The weather heated up here, so I'm not in the mood for a warm dessert anymore. I'll appreciate the recipe when it's cooler out! Thanks for thinking of me!

It is clammy here!

Well, I don't get my night out tonight. Alan wants to do some more elk hunting tonight. It's really his last night to do anything as we have family commitments all day tomorrow and Sunday. So, he's going to take some of the kids and hunt tonight, and then he'll take me out for dinner tomorrow night. I'll settle for that!


I am going to tell Buddy that Alan is hunting Elk. He loves to watch the big game hunting. He used to take Daniel to the turkey shoots at the Sportsman Club. Now my Dan is pretty OCD and he had a lot of ticks when he got nervous, but shooting at the target was fun for him. Well Buddy decided to take him hunting one year and so I went shopping and got him a bright orange sweatshirt to go over his jacket. There was no kids hunting gear so I had to get adults stuff. The orange gloves were huge but I wanted him covered. He had won an orange heiney heater at the gunclub so he also brought that. THat nervous kid got bored really fast. Between, the extra long gloves that he kept flicking and his the crispy "seeds" in his heiney heater Buddy was going crazy. He found an elastic band in his pocket and started snapping it so by then the hunting was over :lmao::rotfl2::rotfl: Buddy never gets anything anyway but he said Dan made sure no deer came anywhere near them that day

Some day I'll share his fishing trip with Donny and Marisa :lmao::rotfl2::rotfl2:
He could have been so hurt. He isn't seeing that right now he is just focusing on the $1,000+ dollars:sad2:

That is all Buddy would see :sad2:

You are sleeping because you need the rest! I know that you like to get the packing done early but Holy Moly Woman! Slow down!

Dinner is my own tuna noodle casserole. Thanks Aimee! I don;t like canned soup so I make my own sauce. It tasted good so I hope tha tit is good now that it is all together. I=

I am enjoying my pineapple vodka over ice while I DIS. I needed it because I cannot understand how come I have so much cleaning! We are only two people and I clean all the time. How come I am up to my elbows in work?????? I have decided that I am going to be done tomorrow no matter what! I wanted to seal the porch but we are going to ha rain in the morning. Maybe Welby and I can go buy bottles for my rosato, we ran out of clear bottles.

I want to start more wine next week, Welby thinks I nuts but that is because she cannot drink it ;) I told her that Buddy and I are going to be parked in front of the fireplace all winter long so we need wine! Now I just need to get Buddy to fund it :woohoo:

You are telling me to slow down?!! I'm washing clothes & packing Not SEALING the porch????!! It's No wonder you feel like you're cleaning all the time! Outside window washing, porch sealing! If I attempted that kind of stuff, first they'd lock me up for insanity, then they'd have to shoot me cus this old horse would be done! :laughing:


Kat, enjoying chatting with you! I'm going to ask for help to keep you properly medicated during your trip.;) If we all make sure Kathy has her fav drinks, she'll forget she even has an ankle!!! :goodvibes

Tonight was Popeye's chicken. :thumbsup2 That tasted good I haven't had fried chicken in forever.

Laura I am praying Caili only has Pneumonia also. :hug: Poor thing pneumonia is bad enough lets not think of the flu.

Lauren You never mentioned Bon Jovi! I would have driven over for him. I hope you are taking pictures and having tons of fun.

Nancy I am hoping Buddy is not worrying about the extra scan. :hug:

Sheryl I am glad Alexis is feeling better.:hug:

Maria I am glad Greg didn't have an accident and got hurt. Sorry about the $$.

Ok I am off to do a little cleaning so I can get some extra stuff done tomorrow.
 
Ann, Leona is doing very well. We owe her a visit but I just don't know when that will be. Hopefully Greg will go down & visit her & spend some "boy time" with his friends.
My Mom is busy as usual but looking forward to meeting some of the Dis girls which I'm so happy about.

Sheryl, not a remodel but I just had it with all the stuff! Also, if the baby comes & we are still living here the office will have to go into the attic.....I want a little studio in the garage because the garage is not in the front of the house so while I'm "working" I can have natural light.

Kat, so what are your favorite drinks???? hmmmmmmmmm

I hope Vickie is having a great time & didn't have any pain flying.

Dinner ended up being hot pastrami sandwiches, cole slaw & knishes. Very low cal;)
Greg is sucking down a Jack Daniels on the rocks.
 
Allright Miss Sheryl since you see the need to get me liquored up I'll be happy to oblige. Bring on the wine ladies!!!!!:rotfl2: Johnny has this image of both of us liquored up and trying to get in the scooter together....:laughing:
 
My Mom is busy as usual but looking forward to meeting some of the Dis girls which I'm so happy about.

Now I am sulking! I did not realize your Mom was joining you, I was sorry that our paths did not cross on our last trip.

:rotfl2: Johnny has this image of both of us liquored up and trying to get in the scooter together....:laughing:

:lmao::lmao:

Y! If I attempted that kind of stuff, first they'd lock me up for insanity, then they'd have to shoot me cus this old horse would be done! :laughing:

:lmao::lmao::lmao:

ETA that Welby brought brownies over and they ae calling me!

Nancy I am hoping Buddy is not worrying about the extra scan. :hug:

No, not really. He has never had a spinal so he wondered what the injection felt like but other than that, the test does not bother him. It is a four hour test so he is going to be miserable by the time it is over. i feel very badly for the technician, he will need to deal with him. JK! He will complain to me when it is over. We are both impatient people so we want it all done yesterday,

Dinner was so good! I had some nice Italian bread with it, there goes my diet!

Your Italian bread you ate & the brownie I just ate!!!!!:eek:

Mid-trip I'm having a change in room mates....Greg will be with me Thurs-Sun & then Mom Sun-Wed. My girlfriend Marlu (Liam's Mom) will also be there with Liam, DH & her pregnant belly...they are there Wed-Sat. We are going to have a birthday breakfast for Liam who's 4 this week!!!!!!!
Our friends from Orlando + their 2 kids might join us for that breakfast.....
This all reminds me I should put in my green grocer order.

I hope Lauren isn't getting rained on....

Nan, how is Welby?
 
Unfortunately, Caili is not feeling better. I took her to the doctor, and it sounds like Caili has pneumonia. We had to go for a chest x-ray, and I am waiting to hear the results. This came on really fast -- she only started coughing yesterday -- so my mom is thinking it may be H1N1 related. I'll know more after I hear back from the doctor.

Poor Caili. Last time they thought I had pneumonia I just had an upper res infection. Not fun by any means, but thankfully not as dangerous. They did an xray and when she called with the results I asked her if I needed to change my meds since it wasn't what he thought and she said no, the meds are the same :confused3 so then I wondered why I had to pay a copay for an xray if the medication didn't matter anyways :laughing:

Alexis is doing well, she saw the dr this morning. He said to be aware that c-diff is hard to get rid off. Not to be surprised if it comes back when we finish this round of antibiotics. At the 1st sign of diarrhea, we'll have to send in a specimen. She may need several rounds of stronger antiobiotics. He said to be vigilant with the lactobacillus. Ugh. She was able to get the nasal flu vaccine today, even though she threw a fit over that. I guess she's just had enough of doctors.

I hate that this may not be the end of this for her. :hug:

Now we have to just sit back and wait and see how the rest of the division did this week. We should know by the end of next week. I'll let you know when I know. Thanks so much for the good thoughts. It sure doesn't give us much time to get plane tickets or rooms if we are going. Oh well.]

I'm sorry he lost his vibe by having them split up the rounds. Hope it still turns out well for him. :goodvibes

Lauren just called and let me hear Bruce over the phone...:yay:

:woohoo:



DH came home... but only after a heated conversation from me. :rolleyes1 We ran errands tonight and ended up at Pei Wei.
 
Maria, glad Moms are well. Your trip sounds like fun the best of all worlds.
Being surrounded by family and friends.

Kathy, the image of you and Johnny has me cracking up. One of these days we have to chat on the phone. Can't believve the only time was when I was rushing to the hospital.

Aimee, glad you DH made it home with a little persuading. ;)

Sheryl, how is Alexis doing?

Laura, I hope Caili improved a bit overnight.

Nancy, join the sulking club. I told my DM yesterday I am so bummed I am missing out meeting everyone.

Janice, hope you got everything done you wanted to. Oh, I use to love Popeye's and have not had it in years.

Sending prayers to Buddy, Matthew, all the sick kids, and each of you.

Going to DB's house tonight for my nephew's 14th Birthday party. Boy time flies, seems like he was just born. Dinner will be party food.
Luke is so excited to go, he has been talking about it all week.

I bought the kids Halloween costumes from Childrens Place. Luke picked out a dinosaur costume...well, it arrived and he is scared of it! :eek: So it has to go back to the store. I have a Mickey Mouse costume I bought when he was a baby. It finally fits so I am going to try to talk him into that. He is being so strange about dressing up. Typical phase I guess. Emma is going to be a flower. It looks so darn cute on her. The hat with chubby cheeks is precious. DH exclaimed, "She is the prettiest flower, he has ever seen!"

Here is Emma's costume.

Ann Too bad Luke would have made a cute dinosaur.:laughing: But I understand Kids like what they like. I never took Alex out trick or treating when he was really little. I didn't like the scarey part of halloween.

Aimee I am glad your husband saw the light.;) Some times it takes a few times upside the head with a frypan but they do see the light sooner or later:lmao:

I am getting very sorry I can't make it this year to meet you all. And it is got nothing to do with it being 70 degrees warmer in Fl than here either:rolleyes1.


Tomarrow is Alex's 15th birthday. My baby is taller than me:upsidedow He is going today with friends to rock climb and I get to stay home and clean.

Tonight dinner is ham steak, potatoes,snap peas.

We are just doing a couple of family stops. I agree with you about the whole Halloween thing.

Happy Early Birthday to Alex!!!!! party:

I just didn't want to overlook it tomorrow. Enjoy that big guy.
