Deborye,
So sorry to hear about your friend... You all look far to young to have to attend the funeral of a classmate. Sad and so unfair....
Moon,
Travel safely! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family...
Joyce,
Also so sad to hear about your friend as well! Even if someone has been sick it is really hard when they are truly gone especially if they had been doing well recently. Hugs to you!
This has really been a very sad week for many on this thread... Sending you all hugs...

Eric,
Congrats on Sharon's job offer!!! My DD is a recent grad with a dual education/biology degree and is having a rough time finding a job here in NY. So much so that she has decided to just continue with school and begin her master's... Tough job market...
Carole,
5.6 lbs in two weeks is fantastic especially if you're on an AI!!!! Congrats and keep it up!!!
What's for dinner tonight is Nancy's Minestrone. The weather here today is dark, cold and rainy. A perfect day for soup. Just popped some bread in the oven to warm....It smells really good in here!!!

Hugs and special thoughts to all.

Moon- Travel safe and my thoughts are with you as you go.
Carol- Great job!!!!
Eric- Great news about Sharon, I bet she is excited!
Tonight is homemade chicken tenders, scalloped potatoes and salad. I noticed after that I had sinner and drinks
lets be honest- it was closer to the truth!! LOL! So why correct it?0 -
Michelle: So sorry about you Mom's passing. My prayers are with you and the family.
It's been a beautiful fall here in NC...we're headed back to Florida next week and I'm a little sad. The good news is there are lots of kids and grandkids waiting to see us down there!
Tonight we had talapia with a lemon butter sauce, brown rice with quonia, and a squash and broccoli stir fry. It was good!

Tazzy, I love broccoli on my baked potato along with the butter, sour cream, cheese and bacon bits,yummmm. I alwaus put broccoli out for baked potato bars at the Center. Took a few times but now most of the regulars put it on their's now. Most new people put it on the tray as a veggie serving, then adding some to the potato, tasting and adding more.
0 -
Oh yes chabba... you have to have all the trimmings with potatoes. Actually I was going to do them with the cheese, butter, spring onions... but now I will definitely add the broccoli.

Wish I could come to dinner! Sounds better than toast with peanut butter, even if the bread is my favorite of the store bought, what I call my bird seed and hazelnut bread.
0 -
And I would love to have you come to dinner
If my DH is out and I dont need to cook I normally have toast with cheez whizz... I know its bad, but. One thing I cannot stomach is peanut butter. But I love peanuts.0 -
Nancy,
The minestrone was absolutely delicious!! I did add a bit more of each vegetable, a bit of sausage that I had leftover and a can of chick peas but aside from that followed the recipe exactly... I did take your advice and cooked the ditalini separately because no way we would finish all of it tonight.
The house smells wonderful and we are all happily full! Thank you for a great recipe and the parmesan rind really does add a lot... So thanks for that tip!0 -
Eric... congrats to Sharon.

Seaside, I'm so glad it turned out tasty for you. I actually added more of the vegetables too. I thought It tasted even better the next day.

Nancy,
Then I'm guessing I'm going to be a happy camper tomorrow as that's what I'm planning on having for lunch!!0 -
So annoying that I just lost my entire post!! No energy to repost right now....
Hugs to all......0 -
Lacey, LOL, I know that frustration. Are you using an iPad. That never happened before I got an iPad.
Moon, I am so sorry to hear about your mil. Travel safely and my thoughts are with you. (((((Hugs)))))
Nancy, I can't wait to try that recipe too. I am a real soup person.
We had leftover mahi mahi last night. It's great not to have to cook when you loved it the first time, but when you regretted making it sweet instead of spicy, not so much. The fish was really good, just needed a different seasoning, will have to try again. Made a salad and some roasted Brussel sprouts with it. They came out really well0 -
Kay, we are soup people too, and when the weather is cool we have it often. But the weather here has been crazy -- 86 today so I think something grilled is in order.
Yesterday I experimented with English muffins in cinnamon raisin which turned out really good. Next try will be blueberry.0 -
Tazzy - peanut butter on toast with butter on top is pretty darn good. fattening, but hay.
0 -
peanut butter (natural) with tomato and lettuce, spinach or parsley makes a pretty darn good sandwich too. I am definitely not a fan of jelly.
0 -
Yes, Kay, I mostly post from my Ipad and it can have an annoying mind of its own.
So, as I was saying......
Sorry to hear about your MIL, Moon. Have a safe and peaceful trip.
Lots of sadness on our thread this week.....((((HUGS))))
Eric, congrats to Sharon!!
Carole, congrats to you! You strike me as a disciplined gal (completing all those manuscripts!), so you will succeed easily on the WW plan.
My college friends left for Cooperstown yesterday and the house felt empty. We had so many laughs and great memories...and fortunately DH is a great host and connector so even tho these friends were new to him, we all had a wonderful time.
Then last night DH and I went to Rosa Mexicana with our Parisian friend who was in town. We had their "signature" guacamole, and I had the special of tornadoes of beef (came with a really spicy sausage I wasn't expecting, but was so tasty). I really enjoyed being with our friend during this visit since I was not pre-occupied with work issues which was most always the case whenever we would meet for a weeknight dinner. I felt so free and "present" last evening.
My weekly consultations to the person who is taking over my caseload are going well, and I am very relieved that the kids and families are in the hands of an intelligent, caring person. Phew!
Tonight two of my teacher friends are coming over for a light dinner. I'm making squash/ leek soup topped with sauteed portabello mushrooms, quick french bread, and salad. They are bringing dessert....tho I need to get back on the weight loss wagon after this long weekend of eating more than usual!
Hope everyone has a good day!0 -
Had my first "Elvis special" the other day (peanut butter banana sandwich). Meh. It tasted good, but I had a hard time keeping the bananas on the sandwich even with the "glue" of peanut butter. I think I'll stick with it plain or on toast with the banana on the side. But the peanut butter is REALLY fine on the cinnamon raisin English muffins.

I admit I love peanut butter on any english muffin but especially a Thomas's cinnamon raisin muffin. And the same is true of cinnamon raisin bagels.
We are going to Dana Farber for my 5 p.m. doctor appointment, then we are going to an Ethiopian restaurant(Addis Red Sea) for dinner. It's another of my "dine around the world" adventures. Groupon coupons make it extremely worthwhile to check out unique cuisines at a very reasonable price.
Eric, congratulations to Sharon. I am sure she's thrilled to be getting back to normal, whatever that is!

Lacey- It sounds like you had a won!derful time with your friends! Your dinner tonight sounds wonderful!
Michelle- Good luck with your appointment tonight and enjoy your dinner. You are always trying new food I am impressed! In fact all of you ladies try and make all sorts of ethnic food that I wouldn't go near! It makes me jealous kind of, I don't like really spicey food though and I hate curry : /
My best friend is in town and coming for dinner tonight. I am making spaghetti and meatballs with some garlic bread and a Caesar salad. She lives in St John and doesn't get to each much meat or dinners such as this one very often. When I asked her what she wanted for dinner she said something a mom would make

Michelle, hope you have a good news doc appt. and a great meal at Addis Red Sea! I may have missed that Groupon, but they usually come around again.
Laurie, that is so sweet that your friend wants something a mom would make. My mother's go to menu was her Amelia's spaghetti and meatballs. Reminded me of that.
My teacher friends will show up any minute.
The food is prepped, and I am happy that the quick french bread rose nicely even tho I took a risk and used two month past expiration date yeast.
The soup with the portabello topping seems very tasty. Hope my one teacher friend isn't too much of a plain eater. Guess she could always fill up on salad amd bread. I should have checked the menu with them first, but was dying to make this soup.0 -
Carole, this is the site I receive emails from about smoothies and healthy eating:

Good luck with the appt. Michelle.
I am cooking spaghetti bolognese tonight. Garlic bread and salad - bit like yours Laurie.

Michelle, I would love to try Ethiopian, but DH is limited in his ethnic culinary adventurousness. It's mainly Mexican and Italian (some Greek) for him, although last year he did embrace Asian, at least Chinese and Japanese, we're still working on Thai (which I know he would like because he loves spicy.) I did get him to admit that he liked the pho I make, but he probably wouldn't order it anywhere. My ability to try new cuisines is mostly limited to outings with my more adventurous SIL.

I am still unable to do much with my right hand so my husband pulled out some frozen meatloaf portions, mashed some potatoes, and warmed up frozen peas. Absolutely delicious! This is why I freeze extra portions. There are days when cooking just isn't possible.

Susan, what is wrong with your right hand? Is it the Faslodex?
Michelle, hope your apptment at Dana Farber went well.
Leftovers tonight. Red beans with sausage and brown rice and tossed salad.
Sad news in an e-mail from one of my brothers tonight. His son is separated from his wife and is quite devastated. They have a delightful 3-yr.-old daughter. Feel really bad for my nephew.
