What's for Dinner Tonight? (recipe index in OP)

[Glynis]

We ended up going to Taco Time last night for dinner. Better than fighting to get the kids to eat. So, tonight will be the chilequiles lasagna!

I am off to try to find a Wii this afternoon. Wish me luck!

Good Luck!! We got ours Christmas 06'..and that was through Ebay!! We resorted to that after i got up at 4 am a few mornings to wait in line like a crazy person at circuit city and target in hopes of scoring one!


TONIGHT: Chicken sausage and peppers n' onions..i think i might serve it with some sort of bread...i have class tonight so it will be low maintenence

[THE HAT]

Afternoon all--

Sorry I missed a couple of days....I am just having a rough time with everything and don't want to be a "debbie downer" to everyone. I do find myself missing all the chit chat though, so I couldn't stay away for long.

Lindsey--I just want to Thank you once again for starting this thread! I sent you a PM.

Laura--I have the bad mom days too, I figure as much as it bothers me, it also shows I am doing my job. I always tell Ross someday you will understand why I do the things I do, until then.....I am not here to be your friend, but to make sure you become someone who will have lots of friends!

Good luck on the hunt for the Wii...I found one for Ross last year, just by chance of being in wal-mart right as the shipment of 3 came in, by the time I cashed out the other 2 were in peoples hands to be bought.

Sheryl--That picture of Alexis just grabbed at my heart.....how adorable!!! Tell her I think that a variety of meatball sizes is a wonderful idea!!

Kat--OMGoodness....I am so sorry about the work situation.....I hope that you find someone very soon that is a great match for the job!! It will all work out in the end, though it is very stressfull for you in the meantime...Try not to let it get the best of you! If you need to talk you know how to reach me!

Lauren--I am so sorry to hear that Andrew is sick, poor baby..I hope that it passes very quickly, at least he got through his b-day before coming down with this. Keep us posted on how he is doing. Give him a hug from me!!

Glynis--I am glad that the story was not what all originally thought, but my goodness that poor women, all of this caused by lack of common sense.

Nancy--I just love the Buddy stories... It is a wonder he doesn't end up with capers in his meals more often,

I just realized that Kris' b-day is Monday....yep he is a st patty's baby yet he isn't Irish at all, lol....though they say everyone is Irish on st patty's day.... Corned beef and cabbage is not a fav meal of his , so that is not a meal I serve on the 17th....I always buy corned beef this week with the sales, but save it for the following week and make a New England boiled dinner with it.

Ross has late Karate tongiht so supper will be easy cheese stuffed turkey sausage with peppers and onions over rice.
Last night I made "un"stuffed shells with rolls and salad. I also made Jell-o jigglers for Ross and the herd of Kids that end up at my house,lol.

I am sure I missed someone I am sorry...We are a hard bunch to catch up with!!

Have a good day!

Quick drop-in update. I've already got a temp coming in tomorrow to learn the ropes, which will give me some relief. I should be getting resumes from a few people by the end of the week. I miss my DIS time.

Here's the Mini-Iron Chef at work again! Making meatballs, check out the variety of meatball sizes on the mat. Yes, we had monster meatballs & teeny tiny little meatballs!

Sorry, no pic of the finished meal,yet. The computer is acting funny. DH wants to back it up, before I do anything else.

What a great photo...

Chinese take out tonight for us...very long day!

Some people (I'm not defending her) think nothing about sending E-cards. They think of them as regular greeting cards. I personally don't think they are the same as getting in your car and looking through all the cards for just the right card. I agree it is strange that she wants you to go to her to comfort you. Hang in there. It sounds like she is trying.

Vent away here where it is safe. We are listening.

 

[HERSEY]

Sheryl Great pic's of your little "Iron Chef". How did those meatballoons, sorry meatballs cook?



Tonight we are having spanish steak.

I don't know why I don't make it more often. I was thinking about my grandmother and the spanish steak popped in my head. She made it the best.

Ahhh see that is part of it......she finds E-cards tasteless unless you live far away or for those who are housebound.....If I EVER did this to her I would never hear the end of it..I do not have ANY issue at all with an E-card from anyone at all, or the fact that she sent one on my godmother passing..but I find it wrong/odd to get a sympathy card from my MIL on my own Mothers death, I was sent a lot of nice e-cards from friends and I cherished every one of those ......I wish I could agree with you that she is trying, but not even close....she is PO'D that I have not gone to see her since my mother passed, and that she thinks it is time for me to get over it......(I know this for a fact, as my hairdresser is one of my close friends and I started a year ago having my mil go to her, as she didn't have a hairdresser, and she doesn't think that LULU will tell me what is said )...never mind the line in the E-card that say's "WHEN you are done grieving, I will be there for you"
If this was the first time she has done something like this then I would just shrug it off, but as all of you know this is just another one for the list.....Kris is furious as they have not even called to see how we are, never mind stopping over....we only live 8 min away.
I don't know..par for the course I guess..................I didn't think I was being over sensitive.....maybe I am......

Sorry I was thinking she was being nice. I forgot she is so manipulative. Some people won't change you may have to keep her at arm's length. I am sorry she hurts you and Kris so much.

Hey all. Just had some yummy bbq pork for dinner. It's a Carolina BBQ crockpot recipe if interested. Oh and last night I tried a new recipe for "Pastilla de los cuatros leches" and it was so good. Super sweet, but oh so yummy! I'll post this one too if anyone is interested!

Yes to both PLEASE!

Tonight we are having spanish steak.

What is spanish steak? Sounds interesting!

Sheryl -- I meant to tell you earlier...once again...how cute Alexis is. That is a great pic.

Lauren -- Sorry Andrew is sick. I hope he feels better soon.

Wendie -- You have enough to going on right now. Just push your MIL out of your thoughts, and don't let her bother you. You will have to deal with her at some point, but wait until you are feeling emotionally stronger.

Hmm...I know there was more to respond to, but Beck called, and I've lost my train of thought. I apologize.

My quest for the Wii has still been unsuccessful. I have one more chance tomorrow. A store I visited yesterday told me they would be getting a shipment tomorrow morning (didn't know if the Wii was in the shipment, though). I am going there and hoping for the best.

I didn't make the clams tonight because I just ran out of time. I had spaghetti and red sauce. No pictures tonight because the kids were starving.

 

[Hedy]

Pie was eh. It was very nicely cooked, penne and broccoli were good, but it was too eggy for my taste . I think I'll check my other vegetarian cookbook for ideas and try something this weekend.

 

[HERSEY]

Laura Spanish steak is just a round steak or top round seasoned and floured then browned in a skillet. Then add tomato sauce,sliced onions,green pepper and little garlic and oregano. cook until soft.

I am not sure where the name came from.

Wendie From what I hear Target gets regular shipments. I don't know if you have one by you. Do you have a gamestop by you? The guys there are really helpful.

 

[Lachesis00]

((((wave)))) How goes it?!

Lachesis has jumped back on! Welcome back. (Hi, Rachel we've chatted before on the Dis- disabilities board. )

I am so glad to be home, eating a home-cooked meal. Even if I had to cook it.

Fajitas. It smells so good in here!!!
