The What's for Dinner Thread - August 2014 (recipe index in OP)

WFDT? We are having steak, baked potatoes, and some sort of veggies but I don't know what yet.
 

I wanted to tell you my veggie red sauce came out really good. I used the TVP and it worked well, fooling Buddy.

HE also came home last night cagey as can be, bearing a plastic container of something from Marisa. Whole Foods makes a buffalo Tofu, and it buffaloed him!
 
We're having open faced Turkey sandwiches (got to use up the turkey I cooked last weekend!). Not sure about the veggies for now.

Love it!

Has anyone been in contact with Ellen? We last heard from her sometime during lent. It's been a while now.
 
Caught up the the Melbourne Chapter of the Dis tonight. As we all travelled to Shanghai and Hong Kong together recently, we had a lot of reminiscing to do.

WFDT? I had chicken curry with roti.
 
Last night was perogies, potato and jalapeno!

Tonight is Pizza.

Today for lunch is Mexican we are having a party here at work. I made two gallons of margaritas, and a gallon of guac.
 
Brandi - Hope you have a great time at work. A Mexican party at work sounds like a lot of fun!
 
AGAIN............I have to apologize for not being here. I have been busy, but that really is no excuse. I miss you all so much. I am going to make a conscious effort to get in here daily from now on. I need you ladies!!

That makes sense to me about the earthquakes. We have had a few tremors here but nothing big I think there from Kansas and Oklahoma. We live in tornado alley in Nebraska (blah). We are only here because of my dh's job. We grew up on the East coast and we didn't have tornados huge snow storms and one year my hometown flooded but no tornados.

Welcome!! From one Nebraska girl to another I am glad to meet you. I don't very often meet someone from here. Where is home? I am from Lexington - smack dab in the middle of the state on I80. Talk about snow - last Sunday we got about 9". We even had to call off church services.

Brandi & Alison ~ Thanks for your concern. I really miss you ladies when I don't get in here. I am sorry I worried you. But hopefully I am back!!

Brandi ~ I saw that jar of tequila - holy smokes I wish I was closer. YUM!! I feel so bad that you still are struggling. Bless you - please take care.

Alison ~ You have really been having a great time lately. You know how envious I am. But lucky you. How is Fran feeling? How is the apartment coming?

Nan ~ Holding Pat and your whole family in my heart and prayers. Please know we are here for you whenever you may need us.
That Bud, he just makes me laugh, but like we have said a 100 times, him and Doug are SO alike. I love him and I want him to live long but sometimes I just give up. He is a big boy and knows what he should have and what he shouldn't - his choice. But like you if I cook it he will eat whatever it is. MEN!!

Kimmar ~ I am so glad you have your kitchen back. Yea!! Finally got my bedroom back and now Doug is talking about doing the kitchen. As much as I would love it I will NEVER let him do it himself. If and that is a big IF right now, I will hire it done and they will have 6 weeks. PERIOD!!!

PIO ~ So glad to hear that DS had a great time in Japan. What an awesome experience. I am loving your TR. And as always your pictures are breathtaking. I copied your chickpea curry. I am trying that - can't wait.

To everyone else that is new - WELCOME!!

LIfe is busy for us. I swear - I told Doug just the other day - we are busier now with the Grands than we were with 3 kids at home. But we love it!! We have baby calves all over our pastures and we have 9 of them we are having to bottle feed, so that keeps us busy and very close to home right now. Matthew and Stephanie are running the Lincoln Marathon on Sunday and it is the Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders meeting in Omaha on Saturday. Doug has to stay home to bottle feed, but I am going. I'm staying with Matthew & Katlin. We will all go to Omaha tomorrow, but we only have credentials for 4 so we will have to go in, in turns, but we don't care as it is very interesting and a lot of fun. Just getting away for a few days and seeing my kids will be fun. Last night was Ethan's Spring Band concert and Lilly will graduate preschool next week and Liam the next week. They are growing like weeds. I talked to Harper (2) on the phone the other night and she is talking in sentences - when did that happen?

WFDT ~ Subways on the road to Lincoln. YUM!!

Make it a great day and a fantastic weekend
 
Glad to see you stop by Ellen! I had been missing you for a while, but kept forgetting to say something!

Alison ~ You have really been having a great time lately. You know how envious I am. But lucky you. How is Fran feeling? How is the apartment coming?

I have? I did go out for my birthday this week, but I have been busy, busy, busy for the last couple weeks. Showing the vacant apartment and yes working on the dang old apartment. We're still not out but getting closer. Stuff is slowly disappearing.

WFDT? No clue! Since I'm not allowed to make big meals, maybe we'll have Italian delivered.
 
Ellen, glad to see you back, don't scare us like that!

Bottle feeding, pictures please!

Cinco de Mayo was a huge hit. one of the guys here brought hostess fried pies cut up in pieces for a dessert, everyone had fun giving him a hard time.

Have a great day everyone!
 
Since it's Cinco de Mayo we had some Mexican goodies. Here are some pics if anyone would care to see.....including some Sombrero Cookies and Pinata cake (filled with candies).

That was quite a spread @mmouse37! What was all the stuff on the buffet? Looked great!

We just ordered from our easy Italian place on EAT24. We just hit "order last order" I have Linguine and clams with Minestrone. She gets a small Veggie pizza add sausage and a salad for four with ranch. Works for us, we get a meal of leftovers out of it!
