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

[liamandcaili]

Ellen -- I'm sorry I forgot to mention earlier that I hope your tooth gets better soon. That sounds horrible.

Aimee -- I'm glad you decided to stay home. You don't want to push too hard and end up feeling lousy again.

Vickie -- and prayers. Good luck!

I have been loving the Olympics. I can't wait to show Liam some of the skiing from last night when he gets home. I am not a huge snowboard fan, but it is really impressive what those athletes can do. I am almost afraid to show Liam that. Greg would be furious if Liam ended up being a snowboarder instead of a skier.

Ellen – Please don’t apologize to us!!! You are an amazing friend to us all and we are the lucky ones to have you as a friend. Praying for you.

Lauri U – I will pm you.

Afternoon friends!! Ross came home around 9am with friends in tow, yep another day with a house full of boys...They are all leaving in 20min. Ross has karate tonight, and more to do on his science project.

Ellen--OUCH!! I hope the pain lessons soon for you and the pain meds work!!

Lauri--I am so glad I am not the only one who doesn't understand this whole point renting!! It just baffles me,lol.

Vickie--Girlfriend...you know we have your back!!!

Aimee--I love that you knew better then to ask us....but I am very glad that you are not going to go and push. I am sorry that yesterday wore you out. There is a reason the Dr's say 4weeks to recover!!

Ann--potty training and teething....YIKES!!

Kathy--I hope your first day back at work went smooth!!

If you could all spare a few prayers.....My dad had to have his feeding tube removed on Monday as it was infected. (I have been fighting for him to get this removed as there is really no more need for it, he is capable of eating again now) We are waiting for the results to see if he has Staph again. He is very nervous and I really don't think he can handle another staph infection.

Ok I hope I didn't miss anything important....I will BBL to see what else has gone on with everyone!!

Supper is Chicken (cooked some way) Rice (some flavor) and Veggie (of some sort).............Jealous now aren't ya

Lauri U – I will pm you.

Thank you so much - ACTUALLY thanks to all of you. I really needed that today. I just feel rotten!! I REALLY need this pain to go away. Even for a few minutes would be great.

You've got 'em! I hope it's a minor infection that is easily treated.

Ellen - I couldn't even think much less function when I had that infected wisdom tooth. There is no other pain like it. I am so sorry you can't get on top of it - too bad they can't send you home with a morphine drip =( I got this awesome pain med during my hospitalization - diluted or something like that? Something stronger than morphine. It rocked. I wish you could get something like that


A church member is on her way over to bring part of a chocolate cake she made yesterday. Oh, my thighs are going to be HUGE at the end of this but sure am happy

 

[Disney Ron]

Ellen, love &

Wendie, to you and prayers for Dad.

I found training pant for DS. Ran into an ex-bff while shopping at Target I avoided her like the plague. So awkward, first time we have seen eachother in over 4 years. Part of me really misses her, but not her mean high maintenance side and I can not stand her DH.

 

[TigerKat]

Wendie - prayers offered for Dad. I don't know a whole lot but I'll pm you the info I sent to Lauri.

 

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

Wendie, prayers being said for your Dad.

 

[HERSEY]

Wendie Prayers for your dad on the way.

Aimee Chocolate cake? I wonder if I could get someone to cook for me too without the surgery part of course

Ellen Sorry your tooth is still giving you pain. I agree tooth pain is bad. When I had a kidney stone I thought that pain was bad too. I would much rather no pain. I hope they caught the infection before it went too far. Mine decided to diguise itself then it turned into a bone infections. Needless to say that was the quickest 20 lbs I ever lost but I would never wish that on anyone.

Tonight is Library if Alex gets his school project done quickly.

 

[bigmerle1966]

This tooth is still hurting really bad.

Ok lassies,very quick and most ridiculously cryptic post ever...

Im about to go and have the hardest, most emotional and potentially a damaging conversation with my mum.

I cant post what about on here (PM and I will share) but I really need all your strength ower the water.

It will help knowing youse guys have my back....please dont worry its an emotional issue not a medical one.

My confession? I've asked everyone close to me if I should go except y'all because I knew you all would say no !

Wendie-

I am having a yummy dinner but I should probably not breath on anyone tonight. I boiled Spinach, Ricotta, Asiago Raviolli then sauted them in olive oil, butter and garlic, lots of garlic then finished it off with parmesan cheese. Having it with roasted asparagus, good thing I didn't add garlic to that too.

And, I went to the gym today! Only managed 15 minutes on the bike and 2 and a half minutes on the eliptical, my back and butt can only take so much of that bike seat. This is the first time on the eliptical and my legs were done from the time on the bike. Next time I am going to start on the eliptical and see if that's better.

My mouth is killing me......

Ellen, hope your getting some rest & pain relief.

Aimee, your right about not going even though your disappointed. You need to take it slow!

Did anyone get a PM for Vic?
I even called her phone earlier & no answer.

 

[Disney Ron]

Checking in to see if any word on our pal Vickie!!!!??

Concerned like everyone else.

---------

Not sure what is for dinner still need more coffee to figure that one out.
I am sure glad our thread does not have highschool drama or fights. I just had to leave the new mom's thread because of two peoples behaviors really get on my nerves. Why do people have to get on their soapboxes and everyone else in the world is wrong? Vent over...I love you girls!

 

[Nancyg56]

I am getting worried about Vickie, no messages on FB either.

Maria-you don't need to hear it but you need to get to the dentist and get that tooth cared for. I also am thinking about you, are you doing okay?

BBL to see if Vicks has checked in.

Dinner is . It isd Friday, I have not shopped adn I don't really want to.. maybe I'll run out after Jake goes home.

 

[FormrCastMbr]

Good Morning everyone. Sorry I have not been posting...I have been checking in but do not have the umph to post. been thinking of everyone and keeping you all in my prayers.

Wendie, Prayers for your Dad.

Aimee, Ellen, Maria...and anyone else not feeling great, I hope today is a better day.

Vickie, I hope all is OK with you. Hugs.

Ann, I am sorry that thread turned out the way it did for you. I know you have been posting there for a while. I decided not to post over there because of a few things I have noticed...

I have been cooking...Wed was a vegetable bean curry, yesterday I made a pork loin roast with a great rub...I have to post the recipe for that and tonight will be a crab stuffed portabella that I bought at the store. Not sure of the sides.

Have a great day all! xo

PORK LOIN RUB

This was also great from last week:
FETTUCINI ALFREDO

 

[MickeyShow]

Good Morning Everyone!

Vickie- I hope all is well. I've been thinking good thoughts for you.

Ann- I lurk in that thread so I know what you're talking about. I actually had to leave a playgroup I was in when Z was an infant for similar reasons. Of course now I'm considering the social pariah for leaving but that's another story. You should check out the Mom's to Toddlers thread. Its a more supportive group and drama-free group and most of the moms have or are about to have an infant so you would fit right in.

Lauren- I'm going to try the pork rub this weekend. I'm always looking for new ways to make pork loin... thanks!

TGIF... this has felt like the longest week! Dinner tonight will be flank steak and spinach salad.

I just can't stand the soap boxes some of these young mothers get on like they know everything and everyone else is a bad mother if they do things diff. I expected to go their to have a supportive group and share milestones for our young ones. I guess I expect to much after being around here.

I have lurked on the other thread since DS was born but I think they are a tightly bonded group who have been together a longtime. But you are right now the drama like the other thread. I think I am just going to focus on things around here for a now.
