LOL, Eric.
Yum on the lamb. We like ours medium to medium rare. I didn't eat lamb until it was served at a dinner party. I must have been in my 40's.
Last night was a small pork steak, breaded and browned in a skillet. Bob's mashed potatoes and Pioneer country gravy. A chopped salad for me and a very small helping of potatoes.
I'll gaze into the freezer and decide on tonight's dinner.
I don't stay up late enough to watch late night tv, but I'm glad Kimmel is back on the air.

Hi. Ladies. I was back in North Carolina at my little cabin. It does not have any closets, but has a big utility room with washer and dryer, hot water heater and lots of storage.
Chris, glad you made it through surgery.
Betrayal, Love the pictures
Cindy, love yours as well. I have been to DC and found it overwhelming. That was back in the 1980's

Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
Sandy, my 1920’s house has no closets on the first floor. Years ago I put up a wardrobe in the dining room. That’s gone and we set up an area between the closed door to the dining room, the closed basement door, and a wall - I call it my fake closet, it’s covered by a curtain. I do have a pantry, which is where we put our clothes washer. Old houses, you do what you can. You’re taking the mixed up boxes in stride! It’s nice you can let go of so much to donate.
I’ve dyed my roots this morning In anticipation of dinner and a play tonight. A gf & I are seeing “A Beautiful Noise” after dinner at a nice Italian restaurant.
I’ve got to pick up my script for 1 Xanax at CVS. Oral surgeon appointment is tomorrow for the extraction and bone graft, and I’m nervous. I had to call the surgeons office because they hadn’t called that script in. I’m hoping the surgeon is better than his office staff.
Raining here on & off since yesterday, and looks like it will continue thru Friday. It’s been humid, and damp. So I feel cold inside, and sweaty outside. Weird stuff.
Hoping you all have a good day.
PS - Kimmel was blocked here, upstate NY, but at FL house it was broadcast. It’s on my FL DVR. Also, I was sent a YouTube of the first 15 minutes, anyone can view it.

Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble.

Canarycat, the regal butler and the disgusted maid also deliver a contemporary take on classist English society of those times. As always, the stage is very well done. Here's hoping that the reviews of the whole thing will go X20 of what I wrote.

Growing up we had lamb for Easter but only occasionally during the rest of the year. Sheep are common in Ireland and Scotland. Our first three years in Scotland we lived in a farm cottage surrounded by 200 cattle and 4,000 sheep. I spent my school spring vacations bottle feeding the pet lambs (those without mothers because of lambing deaths or being a triplet.) DH’s first job there was sheep breeding research. He worked with the team that cloned Dolly.
Wally, I’m glad your DH is going on a treatment that you approve of. Hopefully he will continue to defy the odds.
Dinner tonight was lamb ragu on pappardalle.

Re: So...whats for dinner?
Minus, I know they do and I've taken plenty of things back. I'm just reluctant to return food items that I've half eaten just because I didn't like them unless they're spoiled or something. I did return four bottles of wine once because the corks disintegrated in two of them while trying to open them.
Re: So...whats for dinner?
Nance - Costco takes back anything for any reason. By all means, return the remaining lamb chops.

Re: So...whats for dinner?
On my last trip to Costco I bought lamb chops, which are usually excellent. This batch was not - very gristly and tough. I have four left in the freezer. I'm unsure what I can do to make them better. I usually just grill or reverse sear them to medium rare. A disappointment.
Last night was broccoli cheddar soup with a toasted mini baguette. I think tonight will be a charcoutre garni with bratwurst and country style ribs. I don't have buttermilk or I'd make cornbread. I might do anyway using the milk and lemon juice trick. It's an inferior method IMO but It's worth not making yet another trip to the store.
Re: So...whats for dinner?
@maggie15 Sounds good. My DH bar b qued lamb chops just two days ago. We were not raised eating lamb and wanted to try it on our own. We both like our steaks medium well and it was very good. We had it with a baked yam and asparagus.
