WallyCat, good luck to your DH and the radiation treatments.
Eric, glad you got your location up. Not sure why it posted your 2 cities. Oh well, this site just isn't what it used to be! Pot holes across the rim are def. BAD. The were filling on the E. bound side on my ride home yesterday. Lots of rock slide across the rim and down the Beeline. Cracked windshields, oh ya! I have to have my windshield replaced every year! Got one yesterday too. I do try to keep my distance, but nothing you can do when it's someone going the other way! Good news on MIL.
Minus, now that's a mess in your mouth! Good luck with all that!
No Easter celebration for me.

Eric, good news on MIL. So fortunate for her to have you and Sharon. I've been eyeing whole chickens lately.
Minus, sorry about your tooth issues. Bad for your bank account as well as bad for disrupting your life.
Wally, I like nachos a lot. Often order them as my meal in a Mexican restaurant but never make them at home. Hope the treatment for your dh improves his health.
Dinner was breaded chicken cutlets browned on the stovetop, corn cut off the cob and cooked with butter, and asparagus tossed with EVOO and roasted in the toaster oven.
I bought the ham for Sunday and potatoes for the mashed potato salad like my mother made.
Goldie, I tried to make my location public, but I don't think my efforts to Save worked. I'll see when this posts.

Yep. I went public!

Minus, so sorry to hear about your teeth. I hate teeth.
Goldie, best to you with your treatment too.
Carole, I won't post on that other thread...you mentioned a take-apart coffee maker. If you can share the make...
My coho is thawing and we're shopping so who knows what the sides will be.
Windy here; hope we don't lose power.
Editing to add: I saw your coffee maker post. thank you!

Carole, the "I went public" comment made me laugh...not sure why, but it did. :-)
The egg and chicken prices are starting to come back down "from orbit", so I'm starting to check out what's in the store.
Today we are taking a tiny refrigerator from the house to her room at the assisted living place We're hoping to put some Ensure in it as well as give her a place to put leftover food from when we take her to lunch. She likes the place, but says the food is "blahhhhhhh".
I'm going to ask if MIL would like to come here for Easter dinner. Tuesday she was absolutely exhausted from the trip to the doctor, so "I don't know". Either way, I'm hoping to have an Easter dinner. I've always like cooking "fancy meals".
Minus....sorry to hear about the tooth/teeth. Dentists are good people,but meeting them in professional capacity is....different....
Thinking of your husband Wally. I hope the radiation does well for him.
And, you too, "neighbor" Goldie.
I made some more changes and I'll see if it just says "Snowflake, AZ". When I tell people the town name, I often have to explain that the name has nothing to do with the weather, nor politics. The town was named about 140 years ago after its two founders' last names. :-)

Well part of my problem appears to be with Chrome although I was also unable to make changes on my phone as well. It still won't acknowledge my city so we'll see what posts.
Tonight is beef and noodles using the leftover brisket and it's gravy. Sides will be the carrots and potatoes that were cooked with the brisket. Normally I wouldn't have both noodles and potatoes but I'm trying to use up stuff in the fridge to make room for more stuff. Kids are coming for Easter dinner and we're having ham, red and golden dilled beets, fruit salad, rolls and a potato dish that DDIL is making. Mini pineapple upside down bundt cakes for dessert.

Oh for Pete's sake. It posted it but not correctly. Good grief. I live in Lake Saint Louis, not St. Louis, Lake Saint Louis but it looks like this is as close as i get.

My side green veg will be Asparagus, steamed. I tried to fix my location so we'll see what posts. Coho, refried beans and asparagus.

Let us try once more.
No idea why it isn't working; I've set location to public.....I'll keep at it. And now, I'm having auntinance's issues....i hate this site, LOL.

I have my menu for this Sunday which I refer to as Easter feast. Ham, cheesy potatoes, roasted Brussel sprouts, buttered noodles, rolls and cherry pie for dessert. The pie is just a frozen Marie Callander one but i think it’s pretty good (plus quick and easy). Cherry desserts are a fav of mine. I also asked dh to make oatmeal raisin cookies. He made them once before from a recipe I found and they were simply delicious. The perfect blend of raisins, brown sugar and oats. It’s his favorite cookie.
The last ham I baked was the first time I tried boneless and we loved it. So even tho it was pricier, I bought another this time.
Tonight I made meatballs. I’m never happy with the finished product. Something missing. I add spices and Romano cheese but still haven’t found a recipe to my liking.

Minus is minus a tooth right next to the very front tooth. I look like Mrs Clampett (for those of you who remember The Beverley Hillbillys), I wasn't going to get a fake temporary (called a flipper) but found out I won't be able to get the implant abutment & crown for at LEAST 4 months. Thank you age & cancer & Prolia. I never wear make up, prefer levis and don't really care much at my age what other people think - but 4+ months with a gaping hole in the middle of my top front teeth? Hmmmm.
Meals will be chicken broth, jello & carnation instant breakfast for 48 hours. Then I can add such delicacies as mashed potatoes & pasta to my diet for the next two weeks. Whooppee!! Oh well, I've been wanting to get rid of some of the weight I gained when I quit walking 6 miles a day last year. Needless to say, all of your holiday means sound great.
I think I'll wait until everyone else perfects the addition/correction of cities before I add Houston back into my profile.

If I can find the "glitches, problems and huh?" thread, I'll post a comment about the dual locations.
We had a meeting at 12:30pm and ended up doing lots of errands in town and the "big" town (Show Low) and didn't get back until nearly 7pm. Dinner ended up being a candy bar from the gas station.

I did not try to change my location, it was AZ before and I just made it public. I wonder if the "changing" is what's causing the trouble. As for the site, I have my doubts it will ever be fixed. And we can't post complaints anymore, only problems, or we risk being banned from the site.
Oh Minus, perhaps you might want to consider that flipper?

The Easter feasts all sound wonderful. I hope MIL feels up to going to your house, Eric.
Wally, I have been participating in that thread since 2009 and refuse to be pushed out by one woman. Everyone else found our posts interesting and unoffensive. Some background on the forum. It split some years ago because of religious differences. I don't know if the alternate forum still exists. I hope you continue to participate. After Easter I plan to share a religious experience I had when serving as a summer missionary in New Mexico during my college years when I encountered true pagans for the first time. Indian tribes.
Last night's dinner was a version of a stir fry with beef steak strips, broccoli and red bell pepper. Rice would have been a great addition.

Carole, you are so kind. I have little patience for diatribe that gets inflammatory and not sure I want to be there. I like it here. That lady obviously wanted to insert/imply that only she knows "the right way" and is well informed...sometimes, I hate to say it, but those that profess to be "loving and kind" and that religious teachings foist them to be nice are usually the meanest of the bunch...life is short. I just won't go there and upset the apple cart.
We are having leftover coho. My little fish was delightful. Wish it were bigger. Tastes like a nice trout. Too bad there are no sockeye off the beach out here. Not sure what the sides will be as we finished the asparagus and black beans.
It is my cancerversary today. Starting year 17......

Dinner will be iffy as major cooking is going on and i will certainly run out of gas. Last night was half a cold cut sub.
Wally I was puzzled at the other response on the other thread also as I had noted nothing offensive by you or anyone else. You do what's comfortable. I love your posts. (You eat the amount of fish we should eat. Yum)
Carole look forward to your story.
Sunday dinner will be ham, mom's potato salad, cucumber onion salad, pickled eggs and beets with DH traditional Polish white borscht as an appetizer. I plan to make either Key Lime pie (hard) or Key Lime bars (easier). I have never made a KL pie so it's a little intimidating.
Off to meet with the nutritionist. Have a great day everyone 😀

At work, the automatic signature line for my emails was, "I'm burning the candle at both ends. Send more wax."0

Needed that laugh today Eric. Thanks

Same! Thank you!

Some weeks/months ago our neighbor gave us some boiled crabs. I picked out the crab meat and froze a carton of it. I made crab cakes last night and they were better than usual because the crab meat was flavored with the crab boil. Our side was a box mac and cheese I grabbed on impulse from a display at the supermarket. It's good to have a quickie side in the pantry. LOL.
Tonight will probably be a large romaine salad with chicken strips. We should eat light since the dinner tomorrow will be "heavy."

Eric, I tried to change my location last year after moving and it shows both as well, I may try again after the community updates are completed.
Wallycat, I have estranged twin aunts, I know one well and she’s a nut and I met the other only once but could see how different they are in personality and life choices.
Dinners recently were Souper Salad and Noodles and Dumplings while in El Paso Thursday and Friday. No idea about tonight yet.

YUM on your crab!! I ended up with canned corn and frozen green beans for my leftover coho last night.
Tonight, I am making lamb chops. I'll do a rice blend (black and brown rice) and buttered red cabbage.

'Mae.I, too am thinking the dual location is related to the changes.
We were going to cook the whole chicken last night, but.... By the time we got home it was 6:30pm and that would have made a 9pm dinner...so we ate the remaining chow mien.
Tonight, I don't think we have anything that will keep us out "so late". :-)
MIL is excited to come over for dinner tomorrow.
Duffy, (MIL's cat) is, I guess, becoming my cat. I woke up this morning to him laying on my feet and as soon as I stirred, he moved to sit on my chest and started rubbing his whiskers on my nose....my sneeze startled him.:-) But he came right back. He still, when he comes into a room, looks carefully at the ceiling fans. Five winged predators with four teeth (bulbs)??????

Dinner ended up being Angel hair pasta with Roas marinara and a side salad (iceberg, kale, green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, celery, radishes and red onion). I only wish I hadn’t finished off a baguette last week, a chunk of bread and butter would have been great.

I looked back at my prior post and it probably wasn't clear. I think the dual location display is related to the *site* changes. Hopefully it will be fixed when the site is completely moved. I used to work on telephone system upgrades and it was quite an ordeal to upgrade while still keeping things running in a seamless manner..... and about four times as expensive as "let a few weird things occur during the upgrade". I always equated the phone system upgrades to changing a plane's engine while in mid flight. So, I do "feel" for the BCO upgrade crew. :-)
I finally got around to roasting the chicken. Sharon prepared some mixed vegetables and cooked them in the air fryer. All was good.
The chicken bones are in the freezer, along with another set. After it gets turned into broth, I'll get the pressure canner out and can (jar) it so I don't need to keep in in the freezer.
My family no longer has enough living relatives to be estranged "from/to" and we're all on good terms.
Off to a grocery store "run" to pick up the few things we need for tomorrow.
MIL is coming over tomorrow for dinner. We looked at beef (I asked too late for the cut I wanted), we both feel ham always is salty beyond belief (and I can eat salt from the shaker), so we went with a small turkey (shrug).

My sis feels like she's hanging by a thread. If it were revisable, I'd say old people shouldn't have to deal with losing their love-mates. Not that I get to pick.
We have had power outages on and off most of the day. Had a window to make the rice, lamb and cabbage; leftovers tomorrow.

Young people shouldn't have to deal with that either.

Eric, valid point but young people don't typically have 30-40 years in a single relationship yet.

I can only speak from the young point of view.

Eric, I agree with you on the saltiness of ham. Nevertheless, the almost 10 lb. ham is in the oven, set at 325 degree oven, to heat up. My only other cooking assignment is to make the mashed potato salad.
Many families in this area will be enjoying boiled crawfish today. I'm envious. My favorite way to eat crawfish is outdoors at a crawfish boil.
Happy Easter Sunday to everyone.
