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

[Aimeedyan]

Friends - found a hilarious blog you must read, esp if you are a Weight Watchers person.

http://www.candyboots.com/wwcards.html

This girl found WW recipe cards from 1974 in her parent's basement and posted some of them. All I can say is EWWWWWWWWWW!

I see every one is having a good dinner. I am having cereal adn a banana, I made buddy tuna.

Glynis- I have always wanted to see Miss Saigon...and I never got to see West Side Story yet either. Since Buddy is no longer trusting me to choose plays I will have to see them with my DSIL when ever one comes through.

I am done for tonight, I'll get up early. Mass is at 10, what was I thinking when I told Marisa that was a good time for us? I am now wishing I asked for 1PM.

Evening Y'all,

I had a busy afternoon. DD came over, upset that the interviewer hadn't called. But then after she was here, she got the call. It ended up just being the HR dept's interview. But WOW I got to hear DD do her PR stuff to sell her stuff, she's become an amazing woman! ( Sorry for posting, but I'm proud.) She's really hoping something comes of this one, it's a marketing position for our largest hospital group. She's had 2 interviews this week & the phone one today.

( I forget to tell y'all, she turned the other one down. They didn't up the salary. )

I fixed us some delicious proscuitto & mozzarello panini's for lunch. Then one of the neighbors stopped by with huge fresh shrimp (16-20 count) for only $3. a pound. So DD & I picked shrimp for freezing & kept some out for dinner. I had to go run out for a gift & she came with me. We ended up shopping & found some amazing deals. I got 3 nice dresses & a pair of shoes. She got 2 pairs of shoes all for under $250.! I have 2 nice summer dresses, & one fancy taffeta dress for my niece's upcoming wedding. AND aerosoles to match the dress!

DD stayed for dinner, Josh was working. We had lemon fettucine & grilled shrimp. It was a nice day, even though DD is feeling sick. I'm feeling pretty good, shopping didn't take long at all. So I didn't wear myself out, plus hanging with my DD was fun. Just one of those rare days when you see things that are just right!

Tomorrow NOLA girls Meet!

Kady, Nan, & Marisa: Have a lovely Communion Day tomorrow! Congratulations Kady!

Laura, Good luck managing your busy weekend! Good luck to Caili & her recital & competition. Good luck to Liam & the baseball game!

Janice, I hope Minnie continues to show improvement.

Friends, Have a nice night & a good Saturday!

Sheryl I am praying this interview pans out for Angelina Wow
on those deals. How are you feeling?

Nancy good luck today

Thank you all for the well wishes for Minnie she is doing much better today. The stairs still slow her down but no pitiful eyes Our reaaly rough weather has passed

I'm typing one handed today. I have tendinitis in my hand and my thumb is killing me. luckily it is not my right hand. It should be interesting shopping for plants one handed.

I'm off to take an advil and rest my hand.

 

[TigerKat]

Good Morning!

Meeting the NOLA gang today!

WFD - Grilled shrimp w/chipotle bbq sauce, risotto rice cakes and a spinach salad.

 

[FormrCastMbr]

Good Morning! Quick check in...not sure about dinner SisIL and family are coming and we will go to A's game tonight.

Mom is OK...all I can say is my sister has patience of a saint!

Have a good day!

Lost my post AGAIN.

Sheryl, good luck to Angelina!
Aimee, mahi is my favorite fish.

Last night's dinner. John's:

Mine:

Going to the inlaws for dinner today.

 

[Zandy595]

We went to Ruby Tuesdays last night for dinner. None of us cared much for our meals.

I HAVE to get to the store today so we can eat tonight. Not sure WFD. I've been dreaming of the paninis I had on our cruise and trying to figure out how to make them. Maybe I'll try that tonight.

 

[Aimeedyan]

Quick check in! We have a graduation party at 4pm - there isn't a meal served but there are lots of snacky foods so I am not planning to cook something tonight. If we are still hungry, we will get something out.

DH didn't get in until 5am, and I stayed up mostly until he got there (dozed off around 430) so we are getting a late start today!

 

[Rogue26]

Hello everyone, a beautiful day here.

Nancy- I hope your having the same weather we are, it's a lovely day for a party. Congratulations (is that appropriate to say?) to Kady. I hope you got enough done you can enjoy the day.

Aimee- We got up at 5, I can't imagine getting in then.

Becky- It looks like you cooked that steak just for me, that's how I like it.

Sheryl- Sounds like you had a great day. At first I thought you meant just the 2 pair of shoes cost ONLY 250, now I realize you meant all of it.

I'm sure there's more but I wanted to check in. Thanks to you wonderful ladies for keeping me company over the winter. I'm heading back to work tomorrow so I won't be around often to pester you all. I'll see you all on Weds and Thurs so you'll still have to put up with me then. Have a great day all.

Happy Saturday afternoon Y'all,

Us NOLA girls had a blast together throwing a shower for our Ms Marigny!! It sure is great to have all these girls as friends! It's amazing what the DIS has done. ( I posted some pics of FB)

Thanks to all of my dear friends here for the wishes for Angelina!

Janice, I'm feeling good! A little low back pain & that's all! I'm back to feeling like I did the day after the injection! Yeah.

I'm happy that Minnie is doing so much better! That's really nice. I hope your hand feels better! It's okay to stay off of here & let it heal!

Good Morning! Quick check in...not sure about dinner SisIL and family are coming and we will go to A's game tonight.

Mom is OK...all I can say is my sister has patience of a saint!

Have fun at dinner & the game! I'm so happy for you that you have such a good sister!

Oh Robin we sure are going to miss you not being around as much! Just promise you'll check in on us, okay?!

No 2 prs of shoes didn't cost me $250!! I am not a designer girl at all! I give poor DH enough trouble as it is!

Becky, That looks delicious! I've already had steak twice this week & you've just made me want more!

Sandy, I'm sure you're home cooked dinner will be a lot better than RT's!

Nan & Marisa, I hope your family is enjoying the day!

I hope everyone is having a good weekend!

I decided to take a day off of housework. The hand is feeling much better. I wish I knew what sets it off, I would stop doing whatever.

Tonight is beef brocolli stir-fry my own version. I was going to do my pork stir-fry also but I am pooped from going all over and back looking for cantelope and watermelon plants. Did I miss something is there a shortage on this too. First easter candy and now garden plants where will it stop.

I don't know what's for dinner either. I'm still too full from lunch.

Hope you find your plants and take care of your hand!

Hi everyone! We're back and we had a great time!!! The weather was really hot, but we toured the parks in the early morning and the evening when the temps were bearable and hit the pool or took naps the rest of the time.

I've tried to read and catch up but we are a chatty bunch. Hope everyone is well.

Hope y'all have a great time at the game! Prayers and hugs to you and your family.

I've been dreaming of the paninis I had on our cruise and trying to figure out how to make them. Maybe I'll try that tonight.

Please let us know if you did and how they were!

Never a pester my friend, we'll miss you. Please post when you can!

We sure did have fun, such an awesome group of women. I SO wish our WFD group could get together.

Hi everyone! We're back and we had a great time!!! The weather was really hot, but we toured the parks in the early morning and the evening when the temps were bearable and hit the pool or took naps the rest of the time.

Welcome home! I'm so glad y'all had a great time, can't wait to hear more!

 

[liamandcaili]

Glynis -- I hope you had a great time at Miss Saigon.

we just got takeout seafood, yum!
DH had Fish & chips and chowder. I had fried clams.

I have been craving fried clams lately.

At first I thought you meant just the 2 pair of shoes cost ONLY 250

That's what I thought at first too. Good luck with your new job, although I will miss hearing from you!

I'm back to feeling like I did the day after the injection! Yeah.

I decided to take a day off of housework.

Some people get a manicure, or a massage or go shopping, but my favorite gift to myself is a day off from cleaning.

I hope your hand is feeling better.

Welcome back, Gretchen! I look forward to hearing about your trip.

Today was a busy day, as you know. Caili skated well in her competition. It was her first time with the new program and new level, so we were happy with her fourth place (out of six) placement. She was not happy because they only gave out medals for first place and ribbons for everyone else. Liam had a good game tonight. The team lost in the last inning, but Liam had a couple of nice plays.

I had dinner with my parents. We had grilled chicken, potato salad, green beans and a tomato and lettuce salad. Tomorrow everyone is coming here for Caili's dance recitals. We are definitely having halibut, but I don't think the rest of the menu os finalized.

 

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BECKY!!!! have a great day tomorrow.....

 

[TigerKat]

Hope you have a great day Becky !!!

 

[Where'sPiglet?]

Hi all....sorry I went MIA....I had a really busy week. I was working on an apartment complex application on top of stuff from work at the same time as trying to catch up from the trip last weekend along with a migraine. Not a great combination but I'm beginning to catch up! I thought about you all a lot!

I am going to attempt to read back to see what I missed, but I'm sure there are people that need a hug and some people that need a Woohoo!...so those are there for the taking if you need one!

I am working to upload the Boston photos and I'm going to try to write about where we ate also, because I promised I'd do a mini trip report.

Here are some food photos from home from this week. One is panini with home baked French fries and the other is chicken with mashed potatoes.

 

[Aimeedyan]

Aimee- We got up at 5, I can't imagine getting in then.

You got up at 5am?! I am soooooooooooo far from a morning person it's not even funny. If I am up before noon on the weekend it's a miracle. I had no issues staying up until well past 4am. I do my best work past midnight!

Momma said it's unseasonably hot there and it's wearing her down already. Usually early May is a good time weather wise! I'm glad you're back and can't wait to hear more about your trip!

I am glad both kids did well today!



We munched at the graduation party and then after dropping the dogs off at the sitter, we went and had a sandwich at Scholtzkys. We rarely get there but it sure is tasty when we do! Now we're both busy cleaning sans dogs. Makes it much easier without 16 extra feet underfoot!
