Hi all!!
I am so sorry I have seemed to have fallen off of the face of the earth. I am here but so totally swamped. I will be on real soon with a proper update but for now - Baby Liam is doing super - still in the NICU but hopefully will be home by the weekend.
Love and hugs to you all!!
Oh Sweetie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No worries! i am glad our little Liam is doing well. How are the girls?
Only one of the ones I wanted to see make it did, another one was the one who was eliminated last night. I had hoped Robert would make it, he has the most experience with cooking like that.
Unfortunately the tire was torn up so no easy fix, had to buy two new front tires.
I was sad too! I know the tasks are really designed for the TV show but I really can see Chef Irvine cleaning uop in that kitchen!
I feel your tire pain! We had taken the car to have the tires rotated or something like that adn ended up walking out with 4 new ones
Talk about a budget buster!
Root Canal this morning. I do feel better. I'm a little swollen, and my gum is irritated, but I am SO GLAD I have it behind me. It feels awesome!
Not sure what is for dinner tonight. Maybe soup.
I bet the milk shake was better than soup
Glad you are now pain free!
No pictures , sorry.
Lauren sent the boy ( yer a wee star L
) corn bread mix and Im afraid it never lasted long enough !!
Work is over. Thank goodness! We made cookie rudolphs all day long, back to back in groups from 8-3. I don't want to see anymore rudolphs, but I have to do it all over again tomorrow.
Then, I went grocery shopping. We are pretty much set for the next 3 weeks except for incidentals and some Christmas dinner goodies.
Then, I went to the post office. Was walking up to the door and the lady shook her finger, "no", at me and then locked the door in my face. It was only 4:30 so I thought there must be some mistake. Then, I looked at the door and it said they close at 4:30. What kind of post office closes at 4:30? People don't even usually get off of work till 5.
Small town...
4 more days till vacation! I need it!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Reindeer Time!!!!!!!!!!!! I am just making my klist for the Holiday food, never mind shopping for all of the food. ''Our little post office is closed for two hours every afternoon. I always manage to forget adn get there an hour before they reopen
I know the little post office is on teh to be closed list though
OK, maybe I'll try making some, we have some issues going on here not really suitable for DIS discussion, but if those are resolved I'll try them!
Usnuz - I'm looking for my waist line. I should really stop hanging around this thread.
Well...it's Tuesday night over here and I'm catching up on everyone's news. And I'm exhausted. I'm still thinking about food and am a little concerned that I've gone a little bit 'light' on the gifts this year. Anyone else have that feeling that they need to have extras as just in case?
My waist line is long gone lately
Where did it go?????
I am not concerned at all about cutting back on gifts. I used to spend a lot and the tree was buried under the presents. No more. I hate shopping, i hate wrapping and I was always crabby as we got closer to Christmas. Now i get everyone a nice gift, focus on the little ones and am relatively stress free. Of course you have a youngster home so that makes a difference but remember that the best gift you can share is yourself. Enjoy the rest of the season!!!!!!!!!!!
Last night dinner was so good. I have not made spaghetti sauce in a long time so we really enjoyed dinner. I made those mayo rolls posted earlier and loved them They reminded me of a really good biscuit and they had such a nice crust. I used my stoneware muffin pan.
My neighbor buried her Dad yesterday so I sent dinner over to her house along with a bottle of wine I finished yesterday. I think it is going to be a good one, they need time to mature int eh bottle but I shared what did not fill a bottle with the mantle guy and it was already very good.
The mantle looks much better now. The carpenter is coming this morning to remove the stand that is supporting it and add the things to cover the bolts. I have to tell you that the man who gave Buddy this old beam burned the entire old shed
. These old beams are all hand chiseled chestnut and IMO are priceless.
Dinner is roasted turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, haricot verts and carrots. we will have some of the blueberry poie I made last night, It was not that good
Robert Irvine and he would have been the incentive to watch Iron Chef.
