Morning Y'all,
First thing, Lauren extra prayers for Charles today!
Prayers for you too.
Again I have to thank of you for the prayers & well wishes for Angelina!
I really believe all my friends are the reason she is doing so well! She didn't take any percocet during the day yesterday!!! I don't know if she took one before bed last night I haven't spoken to her yet this morning. Either way she is doing very well.
I am so excited DH just picked up our mail that was held while we were away. My DM sent me the Food Network Magazine as a surprise!!!I have not read it all yet but so far I think I am going to really like it!!!!
This weather is so miserable to come back to. Rain, rain go away!!!!
That was very nice of her!
I'm trying to save up my coke points to get it. (per Stephanie's suggestion
) I'm going to have to buy more Coca Cola products because I'm jealous everytime one of you mentions that magazine!
Wow, that is great! I hope her recovery continues to go well.
Six adults...five if my brother is working. She does always make too much! It drives my mom crazy.
It seems like the rain has stopped here. There was a scary moment at the school this afternoon. I was waiting in the drop-off/pick-up loop, and all the kids had come out of the school and were waiting. It was pouring rain, so they were all drenched. Suddenly, there was a bright flash of light followed by a huge boom of thunder. The kids all screamed and ran back into the school. No one was hurt, thankfully, but everyone was a bit shaken. Maybe the school will come up with a better plan for what to do when there is bad weather.
I had the leftover meatballs, Liam had leftover sausage, and Caili had leftover fried chicken. You're going to hear a lot about leftovers here this week.
Well I know some people not complaining about how much Becky cooks!
Laura, I'm surprised they send all the kids out in the rain! Even Alexis' school doesn't do that. (and we all know they do some very goofy things.) They have a small shelter & hold the kids in the library until the parent's car is in the line. A teacher with an umbrella walks them to the car. (although I am on the kind-4th grade dismissal side of the bldg.) But the cafeteria is on the other side so I'm sure they hold the kids there. Sorry for the scare everyone suffered!
I have that book in my classroom. One of my girls loves it. (It's the same author, Maurice Sendak, of
Where the Wild Things Are) EVERY DAY she reads me the August poem. (WHY August?
)
It goes:
In August it will be so hot
I will become a cooking pot
Cooking soup of course-why not?
Cooking once, cooking twice
Cooking chicken soup with rice
The first time she read it to me she's like "You're going to be so hot this summer! It's HOT in summer!" No lie...
Here's a link for all 12 months of Chicken Soup with Rice. I like February and March also.

April is poetry month!
Cute! I've never read that before!
Sheryl what an amazing recovery Angelina is having!!!! Continued prayers.
I forgot to post this picture....maybe somebody saw Remy & Armand's performance but I don't remember reading that on the thread. DM & I didn't know this happened at Chefs de France at lunch but it was so cute.....They chat & sing back & forth.
That is neat, I didn't know they did that either!
I have a few prom pics to post:
Kyle is so handsome, love that gold tie! His girl is such a beauty too. She must have done a wonderful job on her redo of her hair, because it looks gorgeous!
I solved my freezing chicken parm dilema, it came out so good I want to have it again, so it's tomorrow night's dinner.
Don't know what's for dinner tonight, I used to be so organized.
Glad your chicken was good!
Good morning!
Laura- That had to be scarey!Kady looked so cute this morning. She almost never buys lunch in school because there are a lot of things that have some dairy in them but today is foot long hot dogs to celebrate Red Sox opening day. She is in her Red Sox pajama bottom type pants her Baseball shirt. Under it is her Boston Tee shirt and of course no outfit is complete without a matching cap
Marisa checked with her teacher about the pants, I have never seen any children in this school wearing them but the teacher thought it would be okay today. The hat comes off when she enters the building though. She is tickled, Jeff is meeting her for lunch in his matching shirt
Dinner will probably be something with ground turkey. I want the bulgar casserole but am out of several things. I may take Nola and run to the store, if not I have to regroup
Did y'all take a pic of Kady? Let me know if it's on FB, I can't keep up on there & here! It sounds like a fun day for Kady!
I know you all are praying and keeping my brother in your thoughts but can you say an extra prayer today. He was admitted to the hospital last night. He was coughing up blood and a tumor or more than one are bleeding. He is being taken off the blood thinners so hopefully that will help. He was also supposed to go for chemo today so not sure if that will happen.
More prayers!
Lauren, I know this is a hard time for you. Please try to remember to take care of yourself!
Thank you for wanting me to stay around! I definitely will. I lurk on this page everyday, lol, and have been since the beginning of it. I have benefited so much from the recipes and tips, and I ALWAYS enjoy the pictures of the food.
I am not the greatest of cooks, though I do try. So if there is any way I can contribute, I will.
No more lurking!
I think I might try Glynis' curried honey chicken. Glynis what do you serve with that?
What a spread Laura had for her birthday! I soo want to be a liam sister! 
It expires this month so I just shoved it into the freezer to be safe. 
I wish I had been able to take the stupid thing back in August when my boss did it for all of the staff. Now I'm going to have to participate. 
It's much easier to keep your head down in a group of 80 people.
