Debbie, please accept my love and condolances. May you find the same comfort in the love and support of our brother and sisters here on BCO that I did when I lost my beloved Brother last summer. May you and your family find peace and solace.

It's a day right out of Winnie The Poo and the Blustery Day here today. The wind is just howling and is shaking the house when it gusts as a very strong cold front moves through. We live on a hilltop which really doesn't help!
Homemade cream of chicken soup is what we're having tonight! I had all the ingredients and it sounded good today.
Debbie,
Just wanted to say that I am thinking of you tonight and sending you the hugs that I wish I could deliver in person....0 -
Carole, set a place for me!

Debbie- Thinking of you.
I have nothing planned for dinner. I went grocery shopping yesterday but did not plan a lot of meals as my DH is going to be gone next week for work. The kids have been so picky lately that anything I make gets me eye rolls and rude comments and them sent to their rooms. Even last night I made spaghetti and meatballs!! So, last night I told DH lets see what they say when I DON"T make dinner. Little buggers!
DH and I were planning a trip to Florida. We have not done a family vacation like that ever. I could not believe how fast the costs were racking up. So I suggested instead to use that money to go towards a new (to us) camper. Ours was a starter camper and now that we know we love it, it might be time for a bigger one with a little more comfort. He agreed. So I have been looking around and we are going to look at one for a steal of a price on Saturday. It is not the time of year to buy one, but thats kind of the point. The person selling obviously wants money now to try to sell in winter and we are hoping to get it for cheap money. It is one of the models we really want so maybe it is meant to be. Then we will see ours in the spring to offset the cost of this purchase. We shall see....
Hope everyone had a good day.

laurie - sounds like a great investment - the trailer sounds like a fun thing you can take many trips in rather than a one-time trip to FL.

And you can camp in your own trailer in Disney World's Wilderness Campground.

Special K- My thoughts exactly! My 5 year old does not really agree. He thinks our camper is great, we don't need a new one and he wants to go on a plane
Michelle- We talked about that too! When they are older, we could camp our way down to Florida, camp at Disney and camp our way back! The one we are looking at has a slide out and a queen bed instead of a full.

laurie - pretty savvy 5 year old, lol!

Good luck with the camper Laurie... DH & I are looking for our first one also.
Stuffed peppers and green salad for dinner.

Comfort food tonight. Chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and cream gravy, buttered corn.

(((((Debbie))))) Holding you in my thoughts.
Hope the purchase works out, Laurie. Good timing to get a deal...and after hearing how well you guys did with the car purchase, I bet it will work well. Imagine the fun planning you will be doing once you get it!
Had a quickly made greek salad topped with chicken for dinner, along with hummus and pita bread. It hit the spot. We went to an early movie right after dinner to see Silver Lining Playbook. I thought I would like it better than I did....after hearing so much hype about it. I expected everyone to have more authentic Philly accents (which I always notice when I go to my hometown) than they did, especially Bob DeNiro, who I heard was coached in that department. And as a clinician, I am probably a pretty bad critic about how mental illness is portrayed in films, so I should reserve judgement, I 'spose.
Came across my mother's old spaghetti sauce recipe today and made it to use in the roasted veggie lasagna that I will make and bring to a "winter blahs" party (take note, the blahs in this region have very little to do with winter, and more to do with the Pat's loss to the Ravens;). I do hope we get to do a Super Bowl squares sheet!
My only connection to either team is that the ex-player who is with Jessica Simpson and played for the 49ers, used to play sports with my sons through high school here. That's a stretch of a connection....maybe a rationalization for rooting against the Ravens. Glad I'm not the parents of the coaches! That must really be hard. How about Beyonce's response to the media yesterday.... Touche!
Carole, you must be seeing a lot of action in your neck of the woods!0 -
I have to avoid this thread for a certain number of days following chemo.
That said, I just now opened it up for the first time in about a week and I am so, so sorry to read the news about your sister, Debbie. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of your family.

Michelle, Kauai sounds 1000% better than Hilton Head. Granted, I've never been to Hilton Head so there's that - but when it comes to Kauai, there's not a day that goes by that my mind isn't there on Tunnels Beach.
When we were there in September I read about a restaurant that's supposed to be really good for breakfast. It's in Kapaa and we plan on trying it on our next trip.
It's called Art Cafe Hemingway in case you're interested. Here's a Yelp link:

I'm going to be checking this thread all the time to see if you're posting from there (and posting photos!).

Minus, we rent a house in Haena and if you don't mind sharing, I would love to know which restaurant you recommend.
The last time we were there we had three meals (we got in a rut!) at the only sit-down restaurant in Haena - The Mediterranean Gourmet http://www.kauaimedgourmet.com/ The view is beautiful and I thought the food was delicious. I loved their Mediterranean Flat Bread (from their menu: flat bread toasted with organic pesto, feta cheese, and pine nuts. topped with local organic arugula) and Fattoush salad.

Camper sounds great, all those camping recipes! so much fun. Teach the kids to cook for you. Don't forget the lounge chair.

Laurie Good luck with the camper, I think you made the right choice. We camped with the kids while they were young and have the best memories of those trips. We also took the camper south, florida, South Carolina, virginia. Myrtle Beach was our favorite (Pirateland) was a campground right on the beach, you just walked outta your camper door and you were on the beach. Saves on a lot of meals when feeding a family.
Going out for dinner tonight, but tomorrow me and my girlfriends will be cooking up apps for the super bowl game. lots of diff variations of chicken wing stuff, like nachos and dip, she is the cooking queen and I will just follow her lead. I am in charge of the wing sauce though.
Apparently the groundhog did not see his shadow? An early spring?

Thinking of you, Debbie, as you grieve for your beloved sister.
LeeA, the flat bread with pesto sounds so good.
Laurie, it's amazing how much space you gain with a slide in a camper. Our first two campers, tagalongs, did not have slides. Our third, a 5th wheel, had one large slide. Our current 5th wheel has 3 slides. Once we're set up, our camper is like a little home. But it takes a 1-ton truck to tow it. And before reserving a site in an rv park, we have to make sure the park or campground accommodates big rigs. Personally I think a little smaller is better because a lot of the older state parks weren't laid out for big rigs.
We went to the Krewe of Eve mardi gras parade last night with another couple. The floats were really pretty and the queen and maids had lovely white costumes. We caught our share of gaudy beads and afterwards escaped the crowds to have dinner in another town. I had the best grilled oysters I've ever eaten. They were served on the half shells with spinach, parmesan cheese and butter and buttered French bread on the side. The dish was actually an appetizer but there were six oysters so I had it as my entre with a salad.
Tonight's dinner is one of my favorites. Whatever our friends serve us at their home! I do know Julie is making a lemon meringue pie for dessert.

Carole I am living through you....you guys have the best food in NOLA Yum on the grilled oysters. that my favorite dish too (anything that someone else has cooked)

Lacey: How was your Mom's old spaghetti sauce recipe? Are you willing to share?
LeeA: I'll have to dig out the file from my last HI trip & will forward the restaurant name up by Princeville if I can find it.
Carole: I've been watching the oyster comments on the other thread. I looked up the Oysters Mosca recipe & was drooling. I have to admit I'm not a raw fan even though I've lived in Houston for 40 yrs now. My Mother always served smoked oysters on crackers for special parties. I still consider that one of my favorite "dinners". Of maybe a big bowl of popcorn?
The sun's out here & we're at 76 degrees today. Sending warm thoughts to those who are cold.
