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

[Disney Ron]

Laura, eggplant parm sounds so good to me right now. I have not had it in a long time.

Kat, thanks for posting the Pepper Jelly dressing recipe. I have to say I don't do tuna but it did look heavenly. I just can't do raw fish, the things I am missing out on...but I do like oysters and clams on the half shell!

I have a jar in my fridge as well. I use it occasionally over cream cheese with crackers, and sometimes I put a little in my carrots.

Good morning! Since I have to work until 9pm tonight, I'm staying home until after lunch. I worked 8 hours yesterday (in office) and came home and went to bed for 2 hours before getting up to make dinner I know I'm not ready for a marathon Wed quite yet. Thankfully, my job is flexible enough to do that.

Since I have to work, I'll probably bring something from home for dinner tonight or eat there. DH has thawed some lasagna someone brought us and is going to bake that. He's very excited

My wisdom tooth is back to hurting It started a few days ago. I'm able to keep the pain in control so far but I'm thinking we may have to get something done about it sooner than later.

Kathy -- I'm glad you are going to get that referral. Will you find out the results from the monitor today?

Has anyone heard from Gretchen lately? I know this is a busy time of year for her.

Not sure when I'm going to hear from my doc. I heard from Gretchen this morning, she's very busy and hopes to be back with us as soon as she has some time.

Hey y'all,

I tried to check in while waiting in the dr office yesterday. Could read what was going on, but not post. I was worrying about Maria, Ellen thanks for checking on her & letting us know what's going on.

Maria, Prayers that you start feeling much better, real soon!!!

Ellen, Procrastinating me, never did get to send Jay a package. But this news is SOoooo good! PTL!

Kathy, Yes you should see a cardio. doc! Wooohooo on the food porn! You've described that salad before, but a picture really is worth a thousand words!

I'm glad Gretchen is okay, just busy!

Laura, Miss A, is still on her meds. but seems to be all better!!! Thanks for asking!

Aimee, My dr visit was to my neurosurgeon.

My discs in my low back are okay, but I'm full of arthritis! So no cure, but no surgery either. He is referring me to an orthopedic for my knee. He ordered physical therapy to continue on my neck, hand & to start for my low back. But I'll speak to my therapist today, I may not be able to start the therapy on my low back right now. Might have to get my knee fixed first.

Wendie, I'm really sorry you're back is still hurting! Do the stretches & if he gave you muscle relaxers, try to take them (at least at night), it should help.


Ann, I'm sorry you're not getting much sleep!

Madame Egg Queen, Recipe Please?!



Dinner last night was shrimp & grits. I took a pic but haven't loaded it yet. Tonight will be leftovers. I can't offer a recipe for the shrimp sauce. I was just winging it & really botched it up, then I must have spent an hour nanatizing to make it edible! I had this bottled sauce (a cajun garlic sauce) that I hadn't used in while, well it must have turned to pure vinegar! Yuck! Well I should have just thrown it out & started over. But then when I finished Bob tasted it & asked if I could fix that again. I seriously doubt it!

 

[Disney Ron]

Aimee, how does your DH like working for the man again... he must love it! What happened with the kids he was watching?

Sheryl, way to solve a near kitchen disaster. Bob loved it so that is all that matters.

Gretchen, glad all is well.

Kat, thanks for the update.

Marilyn, how you doing?

Good afternoon everyone!!

Thanks for all the good wishes for Jay. We are just thrilled. We aren't saying anything to Ethan yet as this could all for away - You know the military!! We will tell him when we go and pick him up. But he does have his papers to exit Bagdad and that is really all we care about. I will keep you posted.

Kat ~ I am anxious to see what the Doctor says. Everything will be just fine sweetie, let's just figure out what is going on. Call me if you need to talk.

Aimee ~ Take it easy today my friend. I am so glad to hear the first day for DH went good.

Ann ~ are you catching up on your sleep?

Sheryl ~ Bless your heart. You really need a break. Things will be better. I am glad the doctor didn't think you needed surgery. My Momma always said "This growing old isn't for sissys" and the older I get I totally agree.

Laura ~ I was on FB the other day a finally saw Caili skate. Oh my how beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing those moments with us.

Lauren ~ Enjoy you friends today. And I love Cheeseburger pie. I am going to have to fix that here soon.

Wendie ~ take care of that back. Bless your heart!!

Gretchen ~ I hope life is being nice to you. We miss you but understand.

Maria ~ I sure hope you are feeling better today. I will check in on you later this afternoon.


The sun is shining today and it is supposed to be in the 40's. So maybe, just maybe, I can see spring somewhere in the future. Of course I am in the church all day so I won't be able to enjoy it. But from my window it looks beautiful.

Tonight is Lenten dinners and our Trustee's are serving, we are having hamburgers and hot dogs. So I guess that is what dinner is going to be. I love Lent.

Make it a great day everyone.

Not sure what's for dinner tonight, I took out fish and my DM took out ground beef. She may be making meat cakes in which case fish it is, if it's meatloaf then I'll have that and save the fish for tomorrow night.

to my peeps in need.

Ann- doing good today, other than the fact that I just realized I messed up a flier and have to figure out how to make room on it for the information I forgot! I am putting together fliers for Spring Break and have to try and get 6 days of programs, plus general information onto 3 pages.

And I just had a little "eureka" moment! Now hopefully it works!

I remember your explanation of the meat cakes last time.

 

[Nancyg56]

SHeryl- I also wanted to tell you that this growing old thing sucks!

Maria-glad to see you here! WHen you are feeling better let us know......what a great reason to share a toast together!

ELlen- i am still thrilled to know that Jay is leaving Iraq. We never cared where Tim or Chris went once they got out of Iraq...once they were on their way it was all good!

Marilyn- I also remember the meat cakes

Joanne- you are not new anymore......once you join in the chat.....you are one of us! SHeryl and I were laughing that this thread is like talking around a table.....lots of conversations going on at once......lots of women chatting and food! No matter how hard youtry you don't get all of the conversations or you forget what you want to say but that does not change how you feel about those lovely women at the table.

 

[Nancyg56]

So I forgot to post dinner again Leftovers I think Buddy has been telling us all that he can cook so I keep offering my kitchen to him. (Like I would give up any space in my kitchen ) He has all of these "reasons" why he cannot get dinner. Today I asked him what he was cooking...he is cooking sandwiches I have a feeling I am going to be cooking him eggs if he runs out of chicken.....he hated last nights meal so that is out

 

[Glynis]

Busy day here. Sorry I'm not keeping up too well.

Glad to see Maria. I didn't get an email, though. Am I missing something?

Kat - when do you get the results?

Sheryl - Sorry you're feeling sore and yucky? Not fun!

Ellen - I'm thrilled for Jay! Keep us posted, ok?

Dinner tonight will be stuffed hamburgers, sweet potato fries, and a salad.
