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

[Where'sPiglet?]

I am feeling so blah today. I do not even care about my trip. I even considered canceling it. I don't know what my problem is, but I'm in some sort of funk for no reason. I just want to go to sleep but I think I'm going to be up all night. I'm out doing laundry right now but the place closes before my laundry will be able to fully dry, so I'm going to have to either sit and blow dry it with a hair dryer or pack it wet.

It is the winter blah's. You will feel better once you get on your trip. You also are getting over that virus that brings the blah's too.

My Dm cooked me my Valentine...Lobster!!!

She made 2lb baked stuffed lobsters, baked potatoes, broccoli, and salad.
I am so stuffed, it was a nice treat and surprise.

My hairdryer died today...does anyone else have these things die on them all the time or is it just me.

Here's a little NOLA food porn for y'all, we frequent this little place about a mile away quite often:

Raw oysters

Chargrilled oysters (my fave)

Blackened redfish w/crabmeat

That seafood looks yummy.

We golfed (aka, he golfed and I read magazines, Dis'd, and drove the cart like a crazy woman over every hill I could) until it was well past dark (7pm) so he could finish all 18 holes. We drive by Target and I told him we neeeeeeeded to go because the Home Design was 75% off and I had to see what was left. He was "starving" so we had Taco Bueno. In other news, their new black bean and rice burrito was very tasty!

We did score at Target; the one rug we wanted for our kitchen was the only rug left and was 75% off. Whoo-hoo!

I love a good bargain!

As I was packing them up, I told the kiddo to be carefull bringing them to school. She told me "Of course, there shouldn't be broken hearts on Valentine's day." She was quite pleased with herself after that one.

I think Janice might be right. Spring is right around the corner!

Yup, what you said

I am just getting ready for bed, long long day. Janice let me take her Steam Generator. OMG! That thing makes a lot of steam but I was ironing for over 2 hours! Buddy was not sure what shirt he wanted tomorrow and so I ironed several. They were scrunched in the closet and needed to be redone. Then I steamed Kady's dress....all 8 layers! And Marisa and Jeff's things looked messy so I finished them too.

Now I think I am done so I am off to bed, we will go to the wedding tomorrow ad I think back to the hospital in the evening. They are not leaving her alone through the night so I told the girls i would stay tomorrow if they wanted me to. I am praying that we get that chance but she is so frail. One thing, Chris has been sick that Buddy has not spoken to his Mom and has tried to get him to open the door. She worried that if something happened he would never forgive himself. This morning he told me he felt badly his Mom could not get there to see her so I explained she could not and that Chris understood but that I wanted to call her but that I did not want to overstep or to hurt her if he then refused to acknowledge her. I was able to tell Chris that she had one less worry today, thank God.

I hope everyone has a nice weekend and a wonderful Valentines Day. I'll check back Sunday.

Hi, guys. I'm here. I'm reading every day but just not posting. I wanted to give myself a few days to get my crap in order. I really felt like I wasn't bringing anything to the thread and just decided to step away for awhile. I didn't really think anyone had noticed I was missing.

For those of you who read my Facebook, you'll notice today's status says, "Valentine's Day seems insignificant when your wedding anniversary is 2 weeks later." So obviously I have nothing special planned for today. But we are going to lunch at Ruby Tuesday's.

ETA: By the way, I have a bone to pick with whoever suggested the Rosa Regale. I picked some up at the liquor store yesterday and I nearly drank the whole flippin' bottle! Holy crap, that stuff is yummy!!!

Good morning. I'm still sick but feeling a little less blah. Janice and Nancy, I hope you're right.

I'm at the gate now at the airport. The laundry is dry. Woohoo! I got maybe 2 hours of sleep last night so I don't really feel so hot. I am planning to sleep on the plane.

Have a good day!

 

[Disney Ron]

Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!!!!

If you open yourself up fun comes. You need sun and a little warm air hitting your face. Ok I need to stop I am jealous.

Lindsay Of course we notice. And you do bring something to this thread as we all do LIFE. Without ALL the personalities here it is just another thread on the DIS.

Tonight I am making pot roast like my grandma made mushroom soup and onion soup mix with roasted potatoes and something green

 

[FormrCastMbr]

Good Morning!

Happy Valentine's Day!​

Kathy, You pics look awesome! I really could go for good seafood.

We are going out tonight...I think to Texas Roadhouse. We have only been there once and I really liked it so that is where we decided.

Have a great day!

I know this may sound weird, a friend told me to do it and I love it. At Texas Roadhouse, for your sides get the sweet potato and baked beans and put the beans on the sweet potato........AWESOME!

 

[OKWMom]

Happy Valentines Day everyone!

Tonight I'm making ribeyes with balsamic glaze, roasted potatoes and cheese biscuits. I picked up some cream puffs for dessert. We had actually planned to go out, but our babysitter forgot so we are staying in instead.

I'm going to work most of the day so I hope I get a lot done.

OK, so you want a pregnant chick to go to a restaurant and put baked beans on a sweet potato???!!! I am sure its really good and when we go, I will try it.

We have decided to stay in since I am not feeling great...my new meds are making me a little nauseous (I am on a pill form of insulin now). I think I am in a bit of a funk too...
