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

[Where'sPiglet?]

We're going to grill some steaks this evening after the game. I'm going to make my first attempt at onion rings. We'll also have au gratin potatoes and a spinach salad.

That sounds good.....

Oh dear...you mean there's another thread like this one on here?!?

No WDW for me in 2009... Unless I don't end up moving, then maybe I go the 3rd week in August. I think I'd rather move though...

Hi everyone,

It is in the 50s today and finally some of this snow is melting.
DH watched DS this morning so I could stay in bed and sleep after the awful night we had. Thanks to my wonderful DH I got to sleep until 9:45am!!!

WFD- swiss chicken, zucchini, beets, and rice pilaf.

Thank you!

I only see you and Sheryl on there. I want to see when everyone else from WFD is going. Do you think we get our own list together? I want to try and see everyone from here...

So far we have:

Tiger Kat ... October 17th - October 21st (Beach Club Villas)
Shovan ... October 15th - October 22nd (Beach Club Villas)

So I am thinking maybe for me the 16th - 19th...??? and we can meet up on the 17th or 18th.

I've been reading up on vertigo and it sounds like I have a classic case of it. It got so bad last night I was throwing up. Now today I'm OK. I'm making an appt with my Dr. on Monday, apparently there is medication for it. I never want to feel like that again.

Kat, my son had a severe case a few years ago. It was triggered when a refrigerator leaked Freon and was terrible. The meds did not work and he was miserable. He saw one Dr who gave him decongestants (I think) and that helped more than anything else. I hope that your Dr finds the answer, don't mess around with this.

Shovan - I was thinking about you and Alexis yesterday at work. My friend told me that she saw a kid that had messed himself (stomach virus going around - which I'm pretty sure I DON'T have - is so bad the kids are throwing up and uh going #2) standing in the hallway and the teacher was at the door SCREAMING at him- "YOU CAN'T COME IN HERE LIKE THAT! YOU ARE NOT COMING IN MY ROOM WITH THAT MESS!!! GET OUT!!" I think she has a 2nd or 3rd grade class at that time; she is a "cluster" teacher and changes classes each period.

I would be after that teacher's job No reason or excuse to treat a child like that and as a parent the Superintendent of Schools and the board of Ed and me would be on very familiar terms.

If they can't reach the parents, or if the parents can't come to get them, then yes, they are sent back to class.

I'm still feeling a little bit "off". I'm sooo tired lately and queasy. A bit dizzy too, but not like Kat. I woke up at 11 and since then I've taken two different naps. I'm up now but we'll see how long that lasts!

Our school nurse has clothes in every size along with brand new underwear and socks. Buddy and I had seen a notice on the board asking for donations of new undergarments and gently used clothes but even though he wanted to go shopping I felt we had done enough. Well enough until Kady came home in clean clothes. All of a sudden those clothes meant a lot more so Marisa and I went to Children's place for new things and I keep a shopping bag to put clothes Kady no longer wears. The nurse told me that she is always looking for clothing that does not mark the children as the lid who had the accident.

I hope that you are feeling better today.

Kat, hope your feeling better. Greg has had severe spells of this for years~


Tonight my niece is supposed to have a very big part in her show (Naked Brothers Band) on Nick....so that's what is planned tonight I better watch because I may be quizzed next weekend when I see her.

It sounds like Greg has a terrible time with that.

Maria- I hope that you feel better soon. I know you hear it all of the time but please just give in to this and stay in bed and rest.You never have a chance to fully recover and the next bug zaps you, I bet that bug bite you got just wiped out your immune system and you have never been able to get back on your feet.

Okay, now who is your niece? I'll try to find the show and tape it on the DVR.

Hey y'all,

We had a nice day today! The weather was beautiful! Went to a market, browsed plants at home depot & went to a rest. ate outdoors.


Tomorrow I am going with my girls to "Get our Chocolate on"! to quote Chris. It's a PBS local fundraiser called Chocolate Sunday. All kinds of chocolate desserts from local rests., bakeries, etc & fancy Adult beverages too!!! No one under 21 allowed. How cool does that sound! I'm just a little excited!

We have a sunny day here too but it is going to get colder. I am seriously jealous of you today. I am a chocoholic and would love to be there sampling all of that too.

This tired Mom is up yet again!!! DS is just starting to fall asleep on the couch.

Check in tomorrow, unless I am sleeping all day.
Ann

If I can get myself motivated I'll get more propane. That migrane left me drained yesterday I never finished my errands.

Feel better today!

Dinner will be up in the air today. I picked up Buddy's cousin yesterday and she was in tears. Her Mom is not looking at weeks, the Dr says days. Like every family there are stressful family dynamic so she is very upset. She asked Buddy and Me to come today to see her Mom, I was worried she would be overwhelmed with company and offered to go on Monday if that was better but Sharie said just come. Buddy is worried that there will be no Monday She was so fragile when I was there yesterday that it looked to me like she was waiting for Sharie to get here.

Sounds great!!!! I'm off to the baseball game, great weather - sunny & in the 70's, I'm gonna get me some sun today....

So far Kyle hasn't played, he's not adjusting well to this sitting the bench but we knew going in that it would probably be this way.

I don't blame him but as you said, starting was probably not going to happen right away for a Freshman. His time is coming soon.

 

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

Kat & Lauren~ I just sent Brenda my dates for F&W so I should be up there soon.

Nancy~ Glad your feeling better & prayers to you & Buddy...
My niece plays Mrs. Scoogins, if you taped it she was in a red dress & had glasses on.

Ann~ If I had your phone number I would have called you last night, I had major insomnia & was on FB the same time you were posting here. Hope your napping~I think my sleeping schedule is all mixed up because I slept so much for 4 days.....

I'm going to stay put today even though it's so beautiful out......
I'm watching Bridezillas...oh boy!

 

[THE HAT]

super quick pop in.....

Nan--Prayers for all of you through this time. I am glad that Sharie has you to lean on, you are such a comfort to everyone!

Kat--I hope you feel better soon with being dizzy.

Ann--Get some rest!

Supper is who knows, between packing for the trip, and Kris bringing home the china closet and sideboard from my grandmothers today(which means the whole house needs to be moved around) my house is upside down.
My Gram's 95th b-day party was perfect, she was thrilled. My bf and I went to see her today and she was a bit confused on things and very tired from yesterday.

I hope you are all having a nice day.....hugs to all!!

 

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

Wendie so glad your Gram had a great party!!!
I have some of my Grandma's furniture & they are some of most cherished items so enjoy your china closet & side board.

Hi, everyone! I survived the 10 kids!!!! It actually wasn't too bad. We only had a couple of instances of bad behavior, but otherwise things went well. Alan took all the kids (except Timothy) to the swimming pool yesterday afternoon, so I did have a quiet afternoon.

Nancy - Prayers are coming your way for the whole situation. I'm so sorry for everyone.

Sounds like there is a round of ickiness still making it's way through the WFD group. I sure hope it goes away soon!

Dinner tonight is round steak Italiano, with broccoli and rice. Dessert is a chocolate chip snacking cake.

Off to bake! Talk to you later.

Hi, everyone! I survived the 10 kids!!!!

I have an hour at home before heading out for a church dinner. I'll eat there, DH will have leftover pizza at home.

Afternoon all! See, it only took me a couple days to find the new thread! Haven't been cooking much this past week. DS was really sick the beginning of the week, then had to babysit our installer for our new tv service, and now I"m not feeling well. Not sure what the deal with me is, but just feel off. I haven't been to the store lately, so I think the only thing we can have for dinner is a frozen pizza. Very gourmet around here!

The Oct. meet and eat sounds like great fun but not in the cards for me. I just booked one of the new Treehouses at SSR for January this weekend, not leaving us many points to play around with. That coupled with our house repair, means only one trip to WDW for us this year. Poor me!

 

[liamandcaili]

Maria -- I am sorry you had to cancel your trip.

Tomorrow I am going with my girls to "Get our Chocolate on"!

That sounds so good!!

Our school nurse has clothes in every size along with brand new underwear and socks.

Ours has the same. They are always looking for donations at the end of the year.
to you and Buddy. I know this is a difficult time.

Becky is back. I don't know when she'll be checking in, but she has a lot of cool stories and lots of pictures. They had a great time. Dinner today was roast chicken, cauliflower gratin, roasted butternut squash, asparagus and eggplant sticks. Becky was vegetable-deprived during vacation.

I heard from Greg today. He is doing well, but he has been recycled. He did not pass one of the physical exams (he had to do 47 push-ups...he did 75, but they only counted 45 ) so he is training for a couple of weeks, and his new class starts March 1. He is happy because he figures it will be warmer by then, but not hot.

 

[TigerKat]

I don't blame him but as you said, starting was probably not going to happen right away for a Freshman. His time is coming soon.

Unfortunately his time came today and he got a big "Welcome to college ball little freshman"...he only lasted one inning and gave up two home runs. The good news is that PJC was just smashing the ball today, none of our pitchers did well at all. The other freshman who pitched also gave up two home runs. It will be a day he won't soon forget, who am I kidding? Mariah is here making him feel better right now.....

 

[HERSEY]

Kathy I was going to say poor Kyle, but it seems like he is doing just fine. AHHH young love!

Laura Sorry about Gregg, it is a game they play. I'm glad Becky had a great time.

Stephanie Would you take pictures of the treehouses? I want to stay there one day.

Glynis Glad you survived! How is the elbow?

Laura - Thanks for encouraging me to try the fried onion rings, my guys said "they rocked" and it was very "easy"!!

I'm glad they liked them! Liam and Caili are always so happy when I make them.

I am sorry Kyle had a rough outing, but that always happens when players move up to a higher level. He is a smart guy...he will learn and he will figure out how to get the college players out. For now, he has Mariah to soothe his wounds.

Janice -- It was a big class, so they dumped a lot of people right at the outset. At least Greg was given another chance. 115 guys failed, and only 19 were invited to stick around for the next class...Greg was one of them. He really wanted to do some pre-Ranger training anyway, so he is getting that now.

Glynis -- I am glad you survived the weekend!
