I am with you on the dinner menu
Hope that your babies feel better soon. I remember when my own were little, one would get that nasty bug and within hours they all got it. I never could keep up with all three, and God forbid that i get sick as well.
Funny thing is my DH raised cows, cleaned up after cows, fed the cows.......and he could not clean up after sick kids....I would have had one more to clean up after one more...
Bless you. Lucky for me, my hubby doesn't have that problem. I've told him several times today he wins MVP. He was quite a trooper. He got my angel bathed, dressed, and even attempted hair styling this morning. Not that it was the greatest hair style, but even my Mom agreed that it was a good attempt. As for the post-sickness cleanup, the only question is who cleans the room and who cleans the child. He generally cleans the room as he prefers that to dealing with the (generally) crying child.
But I can relate to how your DH could care for sick cows and not sick kids. My brother is a licensed embalmer (doesn't do it anymore). He has done, well almost everything you can imagine. However, changing a baby's diaper makes him gag. Seriously. Explain that one to me.
I know none of this is funny, it's just the way you said it. I'm happy to see you still have a sense of humor.
I hope the kids get better soon and H has a good morning with your Mom. I think the chicken soup for the kiddos and LOTS of alcohol for the adults will be in order.
Honey, it was laugh or cry this morning. I'm glad I was laughing too.
Oh Gretchen, what a day you have had already.
I hope everyone starts feeling better soon...I think a strong drink is indeed called for...Grand Marnier comes to mind.
Yum. Grand Marnier sounds good. However, I don't have any of that. All I can manage tonight is vodka and tonic. When that runs out, I may finish the last of the beer. Just kidding. Maybe.
Dinner tonight will be broccoli cheddar soup with biscuits or breadsticks. We are in the middle of another snowstorm, so soup sounds good to me!
Just what you needed. More snow.
I hope you don't get too much.
I have a Grand Marnier slushy as my wallpaper on my computer. Also you need to rethink your initials for Tom and Andrew
Sounds like a good plan to me. I hope your kids feel better soon and don't share with the rest of you.
I hope the kids don't share too. And since they seem to have something different, I hope they don't share with each other.
BTW - your dinner sounded wonderful.
WFD? I'm making chicken fajitas using Chili's marinade.
Does this mean no propane? Not that I'm teasing. I wish we grilled more, but we use charcoal and I can't work it at all, so I'm at DH's mercy and he works so many late nights grilling is usually on the weekends.
Thanks for the well wishes for the kids BTW.
HI Ladies I would like to join the WFD thread..... I am always looking for ne ideas for dinner.... I look forward ro getting to know all of the great food that this thread has to offer.....
Welcome! We love new folks.
Well, we are back from the doctor. Andrew has a bad cold and the start of an ear infection.
OK, off to medicate Andrew and marinate my pot roast for tomorrow. I got my Le Creuset pot and want to use it!
Sorry about Andrew. Ear infections are miserable and I hope he gets to feeling better quickly.
Do we have that recipe here? Or I guess I should say did we have that recipe here?????
Pork Schnitzel
6 boneless top pork loin chops (1/2 inch thick, 1 1/2 pounds), trimmed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup dried bread crumbs
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
3 tablespoons oil
Place chops between 2 sheets of waxed paper. With meat mallet or rolling pin, pound to 1/8-inch thick. Sprinkle both sides with salt.
Measure flour and bread crumbs onto separate sheets of waxed paper. Whisk together egg and milk in bowl. Lightly coat cutlets in flour, shaking off excess; dip in egg mixture, then into bread crumbs, pressing crumbs to coat.
Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.add cutlets. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
I serve them with a baby portabella mushroom gravy. (I am going to cheat and use a mushroom gravy package and add a package of sliced fresh baby bellas)

That looks great and my guys love pork, so I've printed it for later.
Here is the shrimp recipe
Simple grilled shrimp
1 lb of shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cloves of garlic, very finely minced
about 3 tbsp. finely minced parsely
about 2 tbsp. olive oil
about 1/3 cup fine dry breadcrumbs
Toss the shrimp with the garlic, parsely, and olive oil, plus salt and pepper to taste. Add just enough breadcrumbs to make a very thin coating--that's why I posted the raw photo, I wanted you to see that you don't want a full crumb coating. Then set shrimp aside to steep for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours. Thread onto skewers and grill until just cooked through on both sides--these shrimp were 20 count/lb and I think they took about 6 minutes total.
Thank you so much. I'm glad Kathy asked for this because when I was scrolling through today's posts, Kenny saw the picture of the shrimp and wanted to know if I could make them. I can't wait to tell him he's going to be the one making them since they're grilled.
It went really well! With illness going around, half didn't make it but we had 7 ladies which was just perfect. I had TONS of food leftover, of course, but it's nothing that DH and I won't eat (or can't freeze for later).
If you're like me, you would have still had tons of food left over if everyone had shown up. It's nice you can freeze the leftovers. Maybe you and hubby can have a Saturday movie day one day when the weather is bad.
I have to add that he thinks I am doing this already. Just this afternoon he told me that when I get him used to one thing I change it and then I wait until he gets used to that................and it changes. All this because I picked up the paper for him this afternoon.....and this is after I stopped picking it up and he started walking to the box so he didn't need to trot back out after dinner.......
I never said a word, just pointed to my head then his, and told him I live to make him crazy. I really think he is alone in that truck too much...................
Oh Nancy. I'm sitting here at my computer with tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. Thank you for making my evening.
Chicken scampi made Olive Garden style. We love this and its super easy to make.
Please share the recipe.
The official word is that A & P have the stomach virus, but A also has bronchitis. Right now, it appears that H only has a bad cold. I'll have to watch her to make sure it doesn't turn into something worse, but she's holding on right now. After the huge wad of cash I just spent at the pharmacy, I hope all three are soon going to be on the mend.
. Wait until tomorrow when Lent begins and I try to give him breakfast for dinner.........he won't know to do
