[kimmar067]

Kimmar ~ I love your skillet dinner. Sounds amazing. I love meals I can make and serve in the same pan....!

...I know....right?

 

[kimmar067]

Morning all, I decided not to take the muscle relaxers while I am at work, they just make me lose focus, and very lethargic....

"....QUIET! You'll make her lose her FOCUS!"

Alison - Have a great trip! Look forward to reading all about it when you get home.


Pigletgirl - Stay safe. The media are reporting that more storms are expected. I hope you're not in the storm zone.


Ellen - You're reading along? Thanks for letting me know. Glad you're enjoying it.



Maslex - Hope the chicken pot pie was good.


Brandi - Seems like you're back to normal meals. How's the new workplace working out for you?


Kimmar - Focus? Concentration??? Ohhh.....squirrel.




My mother's kitchen is opened again. We had egg curry, gai lan with oyster sauce, a stir fry vege and chinese soup for dinner with rice. I'm so glad she's home. The surprise for the night was DS. He seems to have acquired the curry taste somewhere this year. He was happy to try some of the egg curry. I was rather surprised because that curry was rather spicy. He really enjoyed it!

Have a great day all.

Happy Hump Day

PIO ~ Glad Mom is back home. Did they have a nice time?
That's funny about DS. My SIL Marty did NOT like anything spicy when he first got into the family but now he can keep right up with me. I love it!!

Brandi ~ Focus girl. NO really I hate that disconnected feeling. I sure hope you are starting to feel better. Have the bruises appeared yet? Do you remember the night Liam was born - Marty, Stephanie and I were T-boned as we left the hospital. I had bruises and soreness I never knew even hurt. Bless your heart, please take care.

Kimmar ~ Love love love the picture.

The sun was shining as I came into work this morning but it is now cloudy, windy and sprinkling again. The farmers are having a fit! They are behind about 2 weeks getting the corn and beans in. Not good at all!!

I was so excited to share last nights dinner with you all. It was a real keeper and oh so good. But I left the recipe at home and I don't think I can remember all of the measurements. But I will get it and will share. I think you all would like it.

WFDT ~ Tacos, refried beans, rice and homemade tortillas.

Make it a great day!!

....I don't know about the 'curry' part, but I LOVE chicken corn chowder!

It actually isn't that much curry. It's quite wonderful!

I would love the recipe if you don't mind. That sounds SO good.

Kimmar ~ I love your skillet dinner. Sounds amazing. I love meals I can make and serve in the same pan.

PIO ~ I so hear ya What is up with men? They never cease to amaze me.
I wanted to tell you how much I have enjoyed your TR. Your pictures are amazing!!

Alison ~ Awwww.........fresh zucchini. I can't wait!!
Are you crossing things off of your list? I bet you and Fran are getting so excited. I have been following along on your PTR and heck I am even excited. Oh the fun you 2 will have.


It is cold, rainy and windy here this morning. As I was getting ready the furnace came on. It is that cold here - only to reach low 40's. I have washed all of my sweaters and winter things and found I needed to bring a few things out again. Oh well, as they say April showers bring May flowers. Yea, that's true if they don't get froze in the mean time. We are really watching the temps!!

WFDT ~ Penne pasta with butternut squash, and a nice green salad. This is a new recipe - if it's good I will post it.

Make it a great day!!

We are safe today. Just cloudy. It's all east of here. This definitely isn't the end of the storm season though. May and June and notorious for storms like this.

Ellen - Looking forward to that recipe. It's been raining here as well and its falling at the right time. Our farmers are happy here.

...does she own a restaurant?

It's a family-friendly restaurant; and a strict policing policy on the clientele allowed to enter the establishment.

.... really? Is that legal?

 

[PrincessInOz]

.... really? Is that legal?

Only if it is your parent's home and you don't open the doors to any strangers....only family.

Have a great day all.

I had one night of eat what I wanted, but I am back on the vegan train since Saturday morning, still no Caffeine or oils, of fats, or diary. I had meat Friday night but not again....

I am not sure what I want to do. I leave in 10 days for Bermuda so I think I will try and eat some nice seafood and see how I do...

Work is great so far... I am excited about it.

Mysterious bruises and pains, that I had no idea where they came from... Yes I get to see those everyday it seems.

I am getting better everyday, I feel like the light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter!

 

[kimmar067]

Happy Thursday everyone,

Kimmar ~ OH.MY.GOODNESS That is some yummy looking food porn. WOW!! Were you celebrating something?

pigletgirl ~ THANKS for the recipe. That looks so good. I can't wait to try it.

PIO ~ I will for sure get you the recipe. It was a real keeper.

Brandi ~ I was so afraid that you would not be able to eat the meat. It's so funny what our body tells us. Hopefully the seafood will be better.

The sun is shining and I see blue sky out of my window. It is still a bit cooler than it should be but at last it isn't raining.

WFDT ~ Sword fish, green salad and homemade strawberry shortcakes.

Make it a great day!!
