I just got caught up on this thread this morning.
The photos of SpecialK and Michelle are great! I love the red carpet pose.
Ramen noodles were mentioned at some point along the way and I just happened to see this about 20 minutes later so I thought I'd share -
'Anti-Loneliness Ramen Bowl' Has a Smartphone Holder
Ramen-loving students who want some entertainment served up with their noodles can look forward to the possible debut of the "anti-loneliness ramen bowl." The eating accessory is a simple bowl with a holder slot for a smartphone — perfect for browsing email messages or streaming a favorite TV show during meals.

LeeA cool on the bowls, just dont microwave your phone!
Laurie Good luck tomorrow with the test...tubes for an adult is ok if it means no more sinus and ear infections. My daughter had them in at 7mo old and when they fell out a year later she never needed them again.
No cooking tonight....I have been grazing junk all day chips, pickles, pie and everthing else I can find in the kitchen WTH? I need to get outta this house...getting cabin fever!

Kick off Meatless Monday with a savory Mushroom, Spinach, and Scallion tart. This easy to assemble meal is satisfying for lunch or dinner. Get the recipe:http://shout.lt/fPbv

Curveball - the recipe is at this link (the first one in Deborye's post above yours):
Mushroom, Spinach, and Scallion Tart

Thanks LeeA! Mushrooms, spinach & scallions sound like a tasty combo but oh rats, it has eggs in it and I don't like 'em. Also I don't know goat cheese but could use something milder I suppose. The dish sounds fiddly to do, with separate roasting times for each veggie. Oh well, the search continues. Maybe the eggs can just be left out....saute the mushrooms et al, butter up the phyllo, dollop of cheese, dollop of veggies inside, fold in half & bake....

curveball, you wouldn't even be able to taste the eggs in the custard. They are hardly detectable in an plain custard and with the addition of savory ingredients they are about as detectable as an egg in a chocolate cake.

LeeA that is hysterical!!
As IF Ramon noodles aren't the ultimate comfort anti-loneliness food! (In my opinion)
Along with butterscotch pudding, mashed potatoes, graham crackers and milk, etc etc but especially Ramon noodles because you know you shouldn't eat them so by the time you need them, they are there for you.
Using up stuff in fridge for vacation. Canned artichokes with spagetti, cauliflower with cheese, blech,blech except the cauliflower with cheese casserole
What's really dumb is that I'm buying really nice things for the house-sitter

Ok Annemarieh!
I have you on reserve for next time!
I hope you don't mind living in a 700 square foot cabin with 2 black cats and a fireplace that was built as an addition to the main house built in the 1700s. Done! PS no washer/dryer/dishwasher/airconditioning and I hope you don't mind bringing in the wood! There is heat. Lol!
When will you be cleared for exchange?
Kitties would take good care of you.
I hope you are doing OK

Tonight was the go to meat in the usual cooking device.....Chicken cooked in the dutch oven, broccoli, and a salad.
I am tired tonight....last night was one of those vivid dream sleepless nights....
Eric0 -
Yikes, Eric, I wonder if you have been hanging around us for too long. Your last night's sleep sounds alarmingly like some of us gals on Tamoxifen! Hope tonight goes better for you.
Thanks for the link on the tart, Deb....that looks interesting to try!
I will post Amelia's chicken pastina soup recipe once I find where I wrote it down...
Bedo, have a fun vacation!0 -
Even the name sounds good! (Amelia's chicken pastina soup recipe)

@LeeA, looking at those ramen bowls it seems inevitable that somebody's phone will eventually end up in the soup.
I don't notice the taste of eggs in baked things like cakes or muffins, and don't mind them in desserts like weet custards, but my experience of savory egg-based dishes of that sort is that I just don't like the taste. Maybe the sweetness of the dessert dishes counteracts the eggy taste. Just my weirdness.

Well since I was grounded I couldn't get on the computer for 2 days LMBO!! I agree Kay, Bedo is a meanie haha!
Seaside- OMG we would all have a blast out together then we could all go humping with Carrie haha!
Bedo- You crack me up DH is sleeping and I had to put my hand over my mouth for fear of waking him. I bet you did a great job on the violin wished I could hear you play. Oh and so glad you wanted the goat for goat cheese, had me a little worried there, thought you were getting lonely hahaha! Just kidding of course.
Michelle- Glad you had a great time, we left and came back about the same time too I think. Love the picture of you and specialK such a cute picture. Hope you got through your test OK!
Lacey-Yes, you are right it was such a shock to get off the little puddle jumper we had to walk from there to the terminal, it was freezing rain and ice. I have a great tan and can't even show it off! ha!
Laurie- So sorry about your mom thinking of you and know how hard the anniversarys and Birthdays can be. (((( hugs))) My DD had the tubes put in her ears when she was younger she always had terrible earaches. Like Kays DD Once they were removed she didn't have them hardley any more.
Welcome Annmarie!!
Sorry for all those I missed, it took me a couple of hours to catch up. Hope all of you who are sick feel better soon, seems its hitting your neck of the woods alot.
Our trip back was kind of scarey to say the least, since we took the red eye back we had to fly into Seattle first it went Ok was a little bumpy and Iam the worst flyer ever. My DH arms get brusied from me holding on so tight on take off and landing. The fog was really bad when we were flying into Seattle and just when he was ready to land the jet it went straight up in the air, everyone kind of gasped, after about 10 minutes the flight attendant came on and said it wasn't weather related, said it was a maintanince problem. WTF! I looked at DH like ok this is it, we are all going to die right here I actually started to cry a little and when I looked at the other passengers you could see in there eyes they were scared. Im pretty sure it was the landing gear but they never even told us, we just circled for about 15-20 minutes and with out telling us he decides to land. It was a perfect landing but I was scared as hell and never prayed so hard. LOL! Then we had to take a little puddle jumper from there to Portland, that was not fun either. But we got home safe and since neither one of us slept at all on the planes or hardly on our vacation, once we got home last night we took a long nap and slept most of the day today so now I can't sleep it is 3:30 in the morning. I actually started this at 230 but like Nancy I lost my post too. Arghh!
On the trip over they served a meal that was so delicious and I made it for breakfast this morning they called it a Hawaiian breakfast. Take some porteguese sausage and cut up in bite size pieces ( or any other sausage you can find) and cook them in a large sauted pan, then I beat 6 eggs and poured them in with the sausage and scramble them, then added some already cooked white rice, diced up pinapple, coconut flakes and some chopped green onion. It was heavenly. Great breakfast or anytime. For those of you who don't like eggs ( curveball) you could leave them out.
Ps- I didn't have fresh pineapple so used canned, and didn't have portuguese sausage so used itialian.
PPS Deb- Your tart looks delicious too.
PPPS Eric- Yes you are the only man here and we love having you around :-)))
Ok, really really going to bed now. Night!

Sorry for the long post I had a lot of catching up to do. But wanted to say that I have a lot of pictures to show but don't want some people on my FB to know we went to Hawaii I will try to put thme on here tomorrow maybe with my new phone I will have better luck. I guess I could also put them on FB and restrict who can see them and someone could put some on here for me. I will see how it goes tomorrow/today.

Also, sliced a chuck roast thinly and made more gravy for hot roast beef sandwiches. That should last a while.

DH had a root canal today. Our dinner is my "go-to" dish, easy for him to chew. Linguine with marinara sauce w/Italian sausage. Salad is tomatoes, cucumber and avocado.

Though I have some lovely German sausages that I picked up at Carl's Sausage Kitchen, tonight we had a simple pasta with garlic and oil. My sauerkraut had turned. :-(

Going to go run a few miles.....
I'm back to cash only for awhile. My bank called and asked if I'd been shopping at Walmart in Texas....Not me....but my credit card was there...... So I'm waiting on a new card.....0 -
Oh Eric, what a pain....but I'm always glad for those folks who watch for purchase anomalies with our cards. Fortunately, the companies are usually pretty good about sending a new card out quickly. Good luck, and enjoy the 1950's for a bit!
Susan, sorry about your sauerkraut turning.
Deb, you sound set for several days!
Tonight we had the chicken chili that I love to make, and love to eat lately, (may even enter it into a local contest)and sent a container to my young next door neighbor boy whose parents are in FL during this severe cold spell while he treks off (like we all did!) to his new job each morning, and comes home to his parents' house with no prepared food. I told his mom I'd ship some meals over to him while they were basking in the sun. He has been grateful for each meal.
It is so, very cold here....actually went out to do some errands today, and was stunned about how bitter it was....guess we have been getting used to moderate winters!
I am really annoyed at my body....have no idea why, but I have been having systemic allergic reactions to what, I am not sure. But it is scary when it happens, and while it is ultimately calmed down with two benedryl within an hour, (I learned to do that from the allergist's nurse)I am not supposed to be taking benedryl since it makes tamoxifen ineffective. This is so damn frustrating! But as my doc said, breathing trumps cancer.....I guess.
DH and I are heading to Western MA on Friday where he has a board meeting and I just enjoy dinners and a lovely estate home in which we stay overlooking pastures and mountains. But I keep worrying about getting this allergic reaction since I have no idea what people are putting in the meals we will have. What a pain! I hate to suggest I stay home, since this is one of the rare times I have gone, since my old work schedule almost always precluded my attending. Maybe by Friday I won't feel like I'm on this constant threshold of having another episode.
This is such small potatoes, tho, compared to what you are dealing with Michelle. Just read your blog and I am so sorry that the mets are still around. ((((((HUGS)))))0 -
Lacey- So sweet of you to bring food to your young neighbor boy. Made me smile. The allergic reaction sounds scary, no idea whats causing it? I can join you at being annoyed at my body but as you said, small potatoes compared to what others are dealing with.
Michelle- Huge hugs to you. I read your blog as well and can not imagine how you feel at the moment. Just remember how strong you are and allow yourself a moment if possible. We had Shepard's pie/Chinese pie for dinner tonight too, glad you enjoyed yours.
Carol- My mouth watered at the thought of avocado, I need to pick some up this week. Hope your DH's mouth is doing ok.
Eric- What a PITA with the bank stuff, but good for them for catching it!
This thread was so quiet today. I was going to post but had nothing good to say. Today just sucked, cabin fever and half sick kids who fought and complained the whole day. I had the cat scan for my sinuses this morning, I was there and back in half an hour. With the mood in this house I would have rather it have taken half the day. I honestly have nothing good to say about today. I guess I should focus on the positive. Even though temps were in the single digits our wood stove kept the temp indoors in the 80's with almost no effort. There- I found something nice.
Cheers. At least wine makes me think it's the alcohol and not my ears that make the room tipsy.

Thanks everyone for your encouragement. I will remain optimistic until someone tells me otherwise. And in the interest of forward thinking, I booked a hotel in Hilton Head for after the next three week cycle. We'll plan on driving there and staying for a week, then drive home. I'm going to keep on living until I can't.
Hubby made Chinese Pie for supper tonight. Quite impressive - it was really good and something I can enjoy eating. And now I'm going to have a little chocolate ice cream!
