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

[franandaj]

Well I've been home less than 10 days (not even unpacked yet) and were already at a hotel back at Disney. We left home at 10AM this morning, and had a 12 PM demo. Then we hit two food booths and I was full, plus it was hot so I hit the wall. We went up to the Concierge lounge and I drank water while Fran ate cookies and took a nap. Our room wasn't ready before we had to go to our next demo, so we went back to the room after the demo.

Fran went to bed. It was a two bedroom so we invited friends to come with us. Suzie and her two boys were in the second bedroom and we let the boys hang out while she and went back to the CL for desserts and a glass of wine.

Unfortunately I'm getting hungry again now that everything is closed! Oh well hunger is my friend!

Good mornign Ladies! Well is is still freezing here, and I think they are calling for some more snow, but not much, thank goodness!!!

Brandi- I hope that you are taking it easy. I knwo that it is hard, btu please do not overdo!!

Ellen- Golf? WE cannot see green here for miles! LOL!!! Have fun!

ALlison- I sometimes envy all the traveling you get to do. ENjoy your Disney time!!!

I am not sure what we are having for dinner tonight. I had made a pot roast last SUnday night, and it was delicious!!! Monday was the storm, so we had Bud's favorite....sandwiches. WE had a combination of leftovers and hotdogs, (for the last tine in a long time, Buddy's cholesterol is wicked high....so no more of that stuff even on 100% whole wheat rolls!!!)

Last night Marisa Kady and I went to see Beauty and the Beast and I had popcorn for dinner. Yum!!!! Buddy had dinner with Welby and the girls, so corned beef hash and eggs. The movie was really well done, I think. I want to see it again!

I am working today, and have to get all my books in order to do my taxes tomorrow. YUCK! I think dinner will be chicken something. LOL!

Have a great day!

Good Morning y'all (Ellen, Alison, and Nancy)
I am doing well, I had a little set back yesterday I promise I was taking it easy, not lifting anything I should not and honestly, David will not let me do anything. I started bleeding again and had some pain. To make matters worse I had to get my eyes checked for my pressure and glaucoma. My Dr said my eyes were doing good, but on the way home my car acted really funny, I took it to get checked out. It is a 2000 Acura CL with 150+K miles. Well turns out the transmission is gone, I suspected by the way it was acting. They wanted $7K, so after I called three more places, they were all with on $100 of each other on the price to fix. Long story short, I am not the proud owner of a 2017, V6, 6 Speed Honda Accord, black crystal outside and black leather inside, with sunroof. It had 5 miles on it when I drove it and twenty-two when I got home last night.

Ellen - no golf here either, just snow on ground.
Alison - have a great time and enjoy Disney
Nancy - both my kids were living here when I started also. Time does fly..

We've been having fun, but have not been on any rides except a special ride of Pirates for the 50th Anniversary. We got to ride it with the lights on!
We have been eating up a storm between food demos and kiosks. Tonight is Robert Irvine.

I hope you all stay nice and warm! I almost thought I was getting heat stroke yesterday between the wine and heat!

Brandi, take care of yourself! Sometimes it doesn't take much to open a scar. Congratulations on the new car! It's getting about time for us too, we have a 2003 Expedition with almost as many miles.

I got home last night. Great time at Shanghai and Hong Kong....with a bit of food. I'm definitely slowing down where eating is concerned and don't seem to crave sugar the way I used to. Good and bad, I guess.

 

[PrincessInOz]

There's always a TR. LOL!

[dgbg100106]

Feeling better today but still taking it easy. Thanks everyone for taking care of me.

PIO - Checking in for your TR

 

[Nancyg56]

Good Morning Ladies!

PIO Welcome home!!!!!!

It is stinkin cold here! last night I made a roasted chicken dinner with mashed sweet potatoes, broccoli and peas. And gravy for Buddy. No more baked goods in the G household.

Tonight is lazyman stuffed cabbage. Bud will hate it but it is going to be healthy. I am using ground turkey and brown rice.

 

[dgbg100106]

WFDT - Salad for us.

 

[franandaj]

I ended up bringing home take out Chinese for us. I can't say much but we got the letter today that our ex-tenant will sue us for his deposit. If I can help it he won't get what he wants.

 

[dgbg100106]

Alison, that does not sound like fun!

WFDT - Chicken *david*, asparagus, bell pepper, cucumber

 

[PrincessInOz]

Nancy - thanks! Sadly, it's still stinkin' hot here...although it did start to cool down today. I'm hoping that we've seen the last of the hot weather here.

Alison - Oh no! That really does not sound like fun. I hope it all works out.

Brandi - your dinners sound amazing.


WFDT? It's Thursday and we usually have a 6.30 pm music lesson to make. So, we hit the local ramen noodle bar tonight.

Good Morning everyone,

I have been suffering from my allergies for the last three days, and I have skipped dinner the last two nights.
Maybe I will lose a pound or two. LOL I can't tell you how many boxes of Kleenex I have been through.

Tonight for dinner is chicken fajitas, but I am using something called a soy curl, in place of the chicken. David is game to try it, so fingers crossed it comes ok good.

 

[dgbg100106]

Last night I actually ate dinner! Tonight we are going out to dinner with friends. We will be going to a place called bo brooks here in Baltimore.

Brandi - Feel better soon.



Tonight, we went out for dinner to celebrate my mother's birthday. I ended up ordering a seafood stew. I was expecting Bouillabaisse. I got seafood paella! It was super tasty and delicious but I was really after something soupy.
*sigh*

Good morning girls,

Again I am sorry I have not been here. I have been very busy - as always these days. We had 7 funerals last month, and of course I was chair along with another lady. That kept me on my toes for sure. Along with the 3 services a week and dinners on Wednesdays and lunches on Thursdays. Lent is one of my favorite times in the church, but dang Pastor Anne is keeping me busy - oh wait - that it what I am being paid for. After Easter I should - but hold don't hold me to it - calm down some. I really miss our daily talks.

Brandi ~ Oh my goodness, you take care of you my friend. I don't like to hear you are still not feeling well. But I am excited for your new car. Oh how I love the smell of a new car. I could make millions if I could figure out how to bottle that smell.

Alison ~ I am so sorry you are having to go through nasty tenants. I really hope you win!! Will we see you on "The People's Court"? Just kidding!! I am so glad you are having fun at DL - you lucky duck!!

PIO ~ Thanks for the link to your trip report. Welcome home!! You are finished with the heat and we are DONE with the cold. I can't wait to just see the sun shine at the moment. We are having a really rainy spring - which it good for everything except my mood.

Nan ~ Poor Buddy!! Why is it the things we love the most are the things we can't have. I look back and everything I loved as a kid is now a NO NO. Something is just not right with this picture. But thank goodness he has you to take care of him.

WFDT ~ Breakfast for dinner. Doug will thrilled - this is his favorite!!

Make it a great day.

 

[dgbg100106]

Wow, look slike we have all been busy!

Last night for dinner David and I had Mexican leftovers.

David and I are doing really well and I am feeling much better, he is doing great, hopefully I can get my butt in gear and start an exercise program again.
If you ladies remember several years when I did Insanity, I do not feel like I can go through that again, so I will be going back Rockin Body! Are you guys ready for snark?

 

[kimmar067]

WFDTT? Take-out pizza, garlic knots, mussels, and GF pizza for the hubby....

 

[franandaj]

Whoa, this thread has been slow!

We're out at DL for two nights, waiting in the CL until our room is ready. Tonight for dinner is Steakhouse 55 and we'll probably order one of those crazy giant bone in Rib Eye steaks. There's five of us dining tonight, so we can get sides as well.

 

[kimmar067]

....wow, that sounds dee-LISH!
