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

[TigerKat]

Hope all is well. Busy day yesterday...Andrew had a game. He has improved - I am so proud of him and all the practice he has been doing.

Tell A I am very proud of him too and I'd love to see a pic of him in his baseball uniform.

WFD - White beans & rice with grilled sausages and a chopped salad.

 

[liamandcaili]

It's been quiet here today.

Lauren -- for Andrew. It's so great when their hard work pays off.

Caili has skating and Liam has a baseball scrimmage tonight. My parents are handling the baseball game and taking Liam out to dinner beforehand. Caili and I will probably have sandwiches.

 

[Nancyg56]

Good Morning! I hope that Monday finds everyone well.
Maria- Just in case I miss you, best luck tomorrow. I will be thinking of you and hoping to hear that the surgery has given you much needed relief.

Lauren- How did Andrew do?

Kathy- have you heard anything from that buyer?

I hope to check in later today but I am not sure that I will. My Aunt is not doing well, she is 95 and I think that it is a matter of days. We took turns staying with her all day and night yesterday, she is not waking. She suffered a seizure or stroke while I was with her, and that seemed to make her very uncomfortable. Gail is with her now, she spent the night. I will go after she and my cousin come up with today's plan.

edited to ask that you say a little prayer that she passes in peace, it is her time and she seems to be taking her time finding her way. This is to be expected, she never did have a sense of direction and was easily sidetracked.....I am her niece in this regard..... so I can understand why her journey is taking longer than the nurses thought. We always allowed double the time we needed to go anywhere because we always seemed to take the scenic route.

 

[scotlass]

I have news and you're not going to believe it!

I have a new sister-in-law!

congrats...

!

Dinner tonight will be A-1 and Dijon steaks in the crockpot. Don't know how it will turn out, but it was given a positive review on the crock pot blog. I'll let y'all know how it turns out.

I love A1...thats on my must buy list for October.Im sure it will be ok in my case !!

Good morning! Today is a big day - I am baptizing someone for the first time.

.

How did it go ?

Im sure youse did great.

Good Morning!

Well done A...great when the hard work pays off !!



We had a beautiful weekend here and today is also glorious.
Its the boys last day of school hols.
I took the day off work to do what ever he wanted.
He picked the local park for a kick about !!

Sometimes the simpler things are the best.

Nope, don't expect to. Because it's such an old house and has been vacant for years we can expect lengthy inspection reports every time. We just need the right buyer who's ready to buy "as is".

Had to think about my Mom when you said this, Mom always took the same route. Prayers for a peaceful passing for her.

Have a fun day! Simple is better...Kyle & I took a little road trip on Friday and I SO enjoyed just talking with him in the car.

Hoping we hear from Sheryl today.

 

[Aimeedyan]

I'm sure you'll do just fine.

ETA: Aimee, I hope the baptism went well. I am sure you were great.

How did it go ?

Im sure youse did great.

Thanks guys! It went really well - I heard lots of great comments and my supervisor told me it was perfect.

Here are some photos from yesterday. The grilled tuna:

the green beans, potatoes, and mushrooms:

The panini I made later because we were starving!

Not sure WFD yet. I need to go food shopping. John and I are off work today for a state holiday (Patriots Day), so I have the afternoon to come up with something tasty.

 

[EJ4Disney]

A quick check in. I will read back and properly check in later but I wanted to let you all know -

Hug the ones you love.

It is such a sad day here at our little church. We have just gotten word that one of our members has died very suddenly.

Her and Doug sang together at our early service just yesterday. Her name is Karen Darby. Karen was a VERY good friend. This is such a shock and loss. She will be soooooo very missed.

You just never know when your time will come. Please take today and tell the ones you love how important they are. Call them, hug them or pray for them. I will never be able to give Karen a hug again or hear her lovely voice. I did tell her yesterday how I enjoyed the song that her and Doug sang. Oh so beautiful. What a very sad sad day.

I'll be back later

I am so very sorry

 

[Disney Ron]

Ellen, sorry for the loss of your dear friend. You gave wonderful advice taking time to tell those you love what they mean.

Nancy, sorry about your aunt.

Maria, sending prayers for tomorrow.

Lauren, kudos to A for his hard work paying off... keep it up kiddo!!

I was a bit MIA this weekend, but all is well. DS is regressing with his sleep once again and it is paying it's price on this advanced maternal age pregnant mom. I need to find some solution before Emma comes.
My Dad has been good listening to the doctor's orders and resting to ease his pain. I am going to take my Mom shopping while Dad is napping and then have dinner with them tonight. He told my Mom that Luke is good medicine for him. Sunday was there 51st Anniversary!! It seems like yesterday I was telling you all about there 50th party I was planning. Boy how time flies.

Have a wonderful day my friends!
Ann

Hi Everyone! This is actually Marisa, but I wanted to post some news. I havent been posting much because my life has been so hectic but GUESS WHAT!?!!?!?!?!?


KADY HAS NO MORE TRACES OF FOOD ALLERGIES!!

The doctor called about an hour ago and i have been crying since then. Kady is out with a friend so i cant even tell her! I am going to surprise her tonight by taking her to Dunkin Donuts for a donut. She misses those the most!

I will stop in again later! Have a great day!

Great news!!!

Maria - Thinking of you and hoping all goes well tomorrow.

Forgot to mention, I think Kyle has a fractured rib. He was wrestling with a friend Saturday and has been in pain since. Just called the doc and there's really not much other than pain meds which he doesn't want. Any suggestions? I've been giving him ibuprofen and we have him wrapped.

[liamsaunt]

Ellen, I am sorry about your friend.

Marisa, that is such great news! I am sure that Kady will be thrilled.

Dinner tonight is going to be oven fried chicken, cole slaw, potato salad, and devilled eggs. Oh, and biscuits. We are off work today because it is a holiday here in MA and we are both starving so I think dinner is going to be in about an hour. I'll probably fall asleep before Dancing with the Stars even comes on.

Kathy, for the rib I think all you can do is keep him taped up.

Would you mind sharing your chicken and deviled egg recipes? Your dinner sounds so yummy!

 

[Glynis]

Lauren - Congrats to A!

Ellen - I'm so sorry for your loss. It's never easy!

Nancy - Prayers said for your aunt. I hope her passing is peaceful and beautiful!

Kathy - Not much you can do for a broken rib. Make sure he coughs, even though it hurts. You don't want pneumonia developing!

Maria - Good luck on surgery tomorrow.

Dinner last night was pretty good. I made a mixture of equal amounts of A-1 and Dijon mustard. Then I spread it over both sides of some steaks. I put them in the crock pot, and poured 1/4 cup beef broth over them. I cooked them on low for 7 hours. They were so tender we didn't need a knife to cut them. Pretty good flavor. Not wow! but all my people ate them.

Dinner tonight is something with chicken. Not sure what, yet, as I'm too tired to think straight. Not only has Timothy been getting me up numerous times at night, but I've been dogsitting for my dad, and the dog was up several times each night, as well. I'm glad I'm giving the dog back tonight!

I am so sorry. It's painful to lose someone you love but even more painful when it's sudden.

Very sad yes you don't know when it is your time. It was the same way with my dad. I talked to him one day then the next no more. BTW today is his birthday.

Yeah Kady I wish I could lose my allergies to nuts and tips?

My grandmother broke her ribs the doctor just prescribed rest ibuprofen and a rib belt. It is going to be painful for a while sorry to say. Make sure he eats a good diet while he is healing.

Maria I hope tomorrow goes quickly for you

 

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

Nancy~ prayers for your Aunt.

YEAH KADY!!!!! Bring on the donuts! That sweet little girl deserves a break.

Scotlass, congratulations on your new sisiter in law.

Kat, hope Kyle feels better. Not sure what else you can do. Motrin & TLC.

Lauren, give "A" a hug & high 5!

Ellen, I'm sorry for the loss of your friend

My nerves are starting to get to me a bit for tomorrow.
