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

[liamsaunt]

Becky - as usual, your pics look yummy. Tell me, what are the green dots in the mushroom soup?

It's chive oil. I just bended one cup of chives with 1/2 cup olive oil and 1/2 cup canola oil. Let it sit in the blender for an hour and then strained it.

Hi Everyone Just wanted to say

Hello!

Well, my son has H1N1. My doc didn't even test him- he said the lab was all backed up and even if Jack's test came back negative he wouldn't believe it. So Here I am- trying to take care of him while I don't have a good leg to stand on!

Yuck...I hope he is better soon. Don't overexert yourself!

Kathy, I hope you are feeling better!!

I have the day off from work today. John got back from NYC last night (we had planned to go down for the weekend but could not find a reasonable hotel), so we are just planning to spend the day relaxing together. Not sure WFD yet.

 

[Glynis]

Yes he got Tamiflu! He has Asthma so we have to be super careful... but so far so good.

Thanks for the though Glynis- my mil just called to see how he was but never ONCE said, "Do you need anything?" I need a loaf of bread.... That's her though- she's not gonna change.

Wish I was closer, but I don't think a loaf of bread would make it from me to you in time!

 

[LBKB]

Kathy hope you start felling better SOON

I am swamped today at work. No time to read back right now. Will try to later.

We are hosting a Re Think Laity Convocation today here at the Church. They are expecting 150+ today and tomorrow. I am going to try to stay out of the way. Maybe if I stay in my office no one will see me. I have so much to do that I really hope they leave me alone.

TGIF!! I only have worked 3 days this week but I have had to get 5 days worth of work done in 3 also. Another 4 days off as again I am taking next Monday and Tuesday off. Gotta get my vacation time used before the end of the year.

WFDT ~ Ham, scalloped potatoes, yams and a peach jello salad. There should be enough leftovers to last the weekend. That is my plan anyway.

Make it a great day my friends. Love to you all !!

Morning Y'all,

Kathy- I know you must be sick you haven't checked in yet! I hope it's not the dreaded pig flu!

I'm debating myself whether to go back to the dr. My sinuses are still bad, but I'm not sick, sick.

Nancy, I'm glad you survived the concert!

Homework was much better last night! Still a lot of work but no meltdowns. She also brought home some good test grades, so that made her happy!

Glynis, Have fun bowling!

Ellen, Good luck hiding today!

Becky, I hope you have a nice day with John!

All of you getting that rotten weather, stay safe!

I have to go to hand therapy today & I have no clue for dinner. I'm kind of in a funk. Oh I know I haven't had any coffee yet! BBL need coffee.

 

[liamandcaili]

my "little piggy" has informed me that he now hates ham.

Don't you love it when kids inform you they hate food that they previously ate? I am glad your son was able to get the Tamiflu. I've heard that they aren't giving it out to everyone. I hope he starts feeling better soon and you don't get it.

Fries are frozen Alexia brand. I have to say they make some good products.

I like most of their products too. The kids like their sweet potato fries.

Nancy -- Did Kady enjoy the concert?

Sheryl -- Great job on the tests, Alexis!

Ellen -- I hope you are able to get everything done. Is tonight winery night?

I got some awesome news this morning. Greg is able to join us in Disney!! Then he'll get to come back here with us for Christmas. I'm so excited!

I haven't figured out dinner yet.

 

[TigerKat]

Haven't read back, just this page...Laura, I'm so excited that Greg will be joining y'all in WDW and spending Christmas too! Your entire family must be thrilled!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure what I have is just a bad cold but it's miserable as I have lost my voice and just feel plain lousy.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Are you achy, running fever? Pay attention, if it's the flu, you want to call your dr for the tamiflu! If not, take some vitamins & go back to bed!

That's great!

I am soooo sleepy today, this weather has got to go! The rain has been off and on today but is supposed to be gone tomorrow.

I have been sleeping a little better but still wake up between 3 and 3:30 and 6 and 6:30 everyday. Woke up this morning at 3:15 and immediately knew it was my first wake up time.

Dinner tonight will be spaghetti with Italian sausage.

Nope, just coughing and congestion.

 

[Disney Ron]

Laura, so happy for you all. It is going to be a great trip and holiday season for you all!

Kathy, please take care of yourself and that means NO GYM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lauri,

Lunch menu at DM's was- Salmon, old fashioned scalloped potatoes, peas & corn, & homemade apple crisp for dessert.

This is just the BEST NEWS EVER!!!! Prayers really are answered!

 

[liamandcaili]

Thanks, everyone! The kids are really excited. They were jumping around the house when I told them.

Ann -- You really have some great meals at your parents. I am so glad they take such good care of you.

Kathy -- I hope you feel better soon.

Marilyn -- I haven't been sleeping right ever since the time change. I've had some pretty bizarre dreams.

I ended up making black bean soup for me tonight and the kids had chicken nuggets and fries.

If I don't get back, have a great weekend everyone!

 

[HERSEY]

Good morning! Where is everyone?

I hope everyone who was sick is getting better.

Laura That is great that Greg is able to come home I can only imagine how excited the kids must be.

I am behind I know I read back later tonight. I have to get moving I am cleaning carpet today and hopefully the rest of this house. I wish once I clean it, it would stay that way.

Ok why are the smilies moving again? I really hate that.

 

[Disney Ron]

Rain, rain go away!!!!!!

Not sure what is for dinner...DH is going to a PC basketball game tonight.

 

[Nancyg56]

Thanks, everyone! The kids are really excited. They were jumping around the house when I told them.

How did I miss this?????????????????????? Best Christmas present ever!

Good morning! Where is everyone?



I am behind I know I read back later tonight. I have to get moving I am cleaning carpet today and hopefully the rest of this house. I wish once I clean it, it would stay that way.

I'm here! I'm here!

My house never stays clean, I get so frustrated, just Buddy and me and I am always trying to catch up!

Dinner tonight is at the Chowder Pot We are meeting there and then off to TSO! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you stand another Buddy thing? The first time we went to see TSO he was whining that I was dragging him to the Opera on a "school night". It was the Friday after Thanksgiving and he had to work the next day. Well he was hooked! and we have been going ever since. And ever since then he has become an authority on the proper day to see them. They have only gotten it right once since then, he wants our concert in December, just before Christmas and on a Saturday night. Never the day after Christmas, never before December 1st and Horrors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! never the middle of November! He wants me to email them and tell them that! He pictures one of those guys drawing the concert route, stopping at the Hartford dot and saying "Hmmmmm, how can we piss Buddy off? Push Hartford to the back of the pack and see how many more cities we can have the perfect date for." Because their schedule is all about him

Dinner tonight is at the Chowder Pot We are meeting there and then off to TSO! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a night, I am so jealous!!! DH & I love TSO. My little sister in my sorority use to work at a Chowder Pot. They have really good food. Enjoy your night.

 

[TigerKat]

Maybe it's the congestion in my head but I'm really feeling dense...what's TSO????

WFD - Sheryl's seared scallops with warm tuscan beans, if I find nice scallops.

 

[scotlass]

Hey, lassies.

Laura - Im so happy about Greg,as Nancy said best Christmas prescent EVER !!

Nancy - I love your Buddy stories,its been a crappy morning here but your post put a right big smile on my face,thank you and thank Buddy for...well..being Buddy !!

Ann Raining here too,also high wind warnings....god I miss The Sunshine State !!


FB'ers will know but I had a dentist horror again on thursday,but not only was it horrendous it was also really bizarre !!

I walked in and not only did my receptionist welcomed me but ALL the receptionists did,big cheery smiles,and chat.

Then a dentist I dont know passed and smiled and waved.

When it was time of my appointment I went in to be greeted by more smiles and through out HORROR appointment staff were coming in to say hi !!


I left in quite a mess but also very confused...then I spoke to my mum,who had been with me the appointment I had before my holidays.

When I told her what happened she burst out laughing.

It turns out when I was gettin my toothout I had the whole clinic in an uproar,I had been so loud and hyper everyone in the place had heard me.

I have no recollection of any of this but apparently Im REALLY,REALLY funny when in a trauma and on the verge of a break down.

Who knew !!


Have a good day lassies...BBL x

 

[liamandcaili]

Nancy -- Enjoy your night! Your Buddy stories always make me laugh.

Vickie -- Your story has me laughing too. I guess it was good that you found out later why everyone was saying hi.

Kathy -- TSO = Trans Siberian Orchestra It took me a minute too.

My neighbor invited us to dinner tonight. I don't know what she is planning, but she asked me to bring a cheese plate. Easy enough! The weather is miserable.

I booked Greg's flight last night!
