LOL, Susan, but that dessert could also have given Michelle away!
Have a good evening everyone. Am excited to see the ND women play Duke tonight.
Was about to have a smoothie for dinner to counteract the three peeps I ate this afternoon, but DH just called to say he is skipping the program he'd planned to attend, so I will get onto a recipe finder site to use up the poached chicken I had in refrige. Hmmmm.....and still need to get out for a walk....but brrrrr today.
The icemaker guy came this AM and we have saved a few thousand dollars with his installing a new icemaker and line instead of springing for a new refridge. Definitely better for this particular time.0 -
Great picture Michelle!
We had a fantastic Easter weekend in Lincoln, NH. Our condo looks right out onto Loon Mountain ans you can watch everyone skiing. Also, the sun was amazing. It shines on our porch the whole day long and we were sitting out there in t shirts and jeans and soaking up the rays. The boys loved skiing and the indoor pools and slept great which was wonderful. My brother and girlfriend cam up and we made chicken Parmesan spaghetti and meatballs with a wonderful salad and homemade dressing my brothers girlfriend made. We cam back last night and will head back up tomorrow night until Saturday.
Saturday night we went out with friends and hit a few places for appetizers and drinks. I had the best potato skins ever at one place and split some enchiladas with DH at another that were ok, but a bit dissappointing.
Now I need to come up with our menu for the next few days and hit the grocery store in the morning. Tonights dinner is very easy, pork chops peas and rice. I know the kids will eat!!
Hope everyone is well!

Forgot to add I am 100% hooked on Downton Abbey and watching it like mad! Thanks for suggesting it! I also tried Panko bread crumbs for the first time and was amazed at the difference in taste- so much better. What is the difference? Just a bigger bread crumb?
Seaside- Going back to your menu/calorie question. I would love it if restaurants did that. That way I could choose to be good/bad and not wonder.

Tonight we had fish tacos with pico, cabbage dressed with lime juice and a wonderful avocado. Black beans on the side. Perfect us of a perfectly ripened avocado.
Michelle, I agree. You look wonderful. Great moments, meeting others from this board. Laurie, I really like Lincoln a lot. I used to play lots of concerts there, but haven't been into town in years. I just cruise by on my way to see my mother. [Wow, almost typed parents.] When I am traveling, and not eating out for a special event, I really want calorie counts on the menu. But When I am splurging, not sure I want to know! I need to get down to the new Seaport area one of these days. I am about 2.5 miles away after all.

Great picture Michelle! Laurie, I am with you on Downton Abbey! I am finished now, won't spoil it for you. What a great show! And season 3 is the best of all. I agree about the pinko too.
Made nachos tonight with cheese, black beans, jalapeños, green onion, chicken, salsa and guacamole. I loved it! And so quick and easy. Still need to catch up, am working on it.0 -
No appetite tonight just picking at stuff. I'm so sick of efin cancer, just lost 2 friends from chat room and one from HS, lung cancer.

Sorry, deborye, that is hard.
Michelle,.looking like you were enjoying yourself! K, Laurie, I never watched downton Abbey. I may have go watch it now. Susan, I keep saying.my DH is going up to see his folks, but of course, it only his Dad now. But, I said "his folks" for over 40 years.
I have to tell you all this bit. I was watching The Chew. One of the guests was asked what would she tell people about remaining married, especially in Hollywood. Her answer: " BE WILLING TO HAVE A FEW BAD YEARS!". LOL SO F*CKING TRUE!!!! LOL0 -
Awww Deb, I'm sorry, that is tough. (((hugs)))

Laurie, panko bread crumbs are flaked so the larger surface area makes for a crispier crumb. Also they don't usually include the crust.

Thanks Nancy. I bought some today at the store.
I decided to wait until the morning to head back to Lincoln. It was a busy morning with grocery shopping and errands and DS2 needed a nap. I just pulled banana bread out of the oven and am roasting a chicken for dinner. We will have it with mashed potatoes and asparagus.
Deb- So sorry for all the loss you have experienced. It can be so hard.
Tonight I am going to watch my last Downton Abbey. I will be sad that I will have to wait for more new eopisodes.

ok- I just tried to google Downton Abbey to see when season 4 starts and spoiled the ending for myself

Laurie,
Glad you are liking Downton Abbey! I didn't think it was something I would like but, after I finally got familiar with the characters and understanding that British accent I was hooked!!!
Boo on accidently stumbling onto a spoiler!! I have not seen any of Season 3 yet! I was hoping they would release it on Amazon Prime for free but, no luck! I think I'm going to go ahead and buy the 3rd season because it's getting harder to not hear any spoilers!
Michelle,
Great picture of you and Debra! Glad you got a chance to meet up!
(((((Deborye))))))
It is really hard when we lose people to this nasty disease both in real life and those that we've come to care about here! So sorry!0 -
(((Deborye))) Sorry it's been such a sad time for you.
Now that April has arrived, who's up for a trip to Pickity Place?

(((Deborye))) Sorry it's such a sad time for you.
Now that it's April, who would be up for a trip to Pickity Place?

Lol, Moon!! Soooooo true!!

I am in for Pickety- do you have a date in mind Michelle?
0 -
((((Deb)))) Sorry for your losses.
Pickety sounds like fun....despite that meandeing drive into the hills. This year the maple sugar house should be busy given our cooperating cold nite temps and some warm days?
Spent much of the day searching for some papers that I placed in a safe spot last Spring. I have not the vaguest idea where that might be now! I remember nothing from this time last year, post RADS, on Tamox , not sleeping, and working 12 hours a day. Total amesia!
Then, late in the day, DH "discovered" the original competed forms I needed on his computer. Maybe a ruse to get me to clear out a lot of junk during my search. I actually did a lot of organizing and "clearing out" some unnecessary items......yay!
Now, a shower to clean off the dust mites I'm allergic to, then pulling together "jump ups" (love that term) for dinner.
Have a good evening, everyone!0 -
Lacey,
I had a similar amnesia moment the first vacation we took post-treatment. We were going to the beach and sometimes the humidity makes my hands swell so I removed my rings, including my engagement and wedding rings. I remembered thinking the place I was putting them was somewhere where no one would ever look!
Well, by the time we got back I was included in the group who would never think to look there..lol! I had no idea where I had put them! Didn't want to tell DH so was freaking out for a couple days as I looked everywhere I could think of. Was about to throw in the towel and fess up to DH when, much to my surprise, I grabbed an oven mitt out of the drawer to get something out of the oven and my rings flew out all over the floor!! Was so happy and DH was none the wiser...lol!
Of course you now all now know where to check at my house!0 -
Seaside - DD has been known to put her spare car key in the stinkiest pair of boots she owns. Used to work for a doc who hid her ring in a hideous vase.
Lacey - I love jump ups. We've been eating them since Sunday. Had enough Spanish rice for an army. I had to make it for ladies Bible study yesterday and of course had to test it on DH before making it for real. So we had ham, Spanish rice, broccoli and fruit salad. We had rec'd a Honey Baked 1/2 ham for Christmas, frozen and had not eaten any. Cut it frozen with a hack saw into thirds. What a production with a few choice words from DH. I think he's had enough ham for a while, even only 1/3 of a 1/2 (is that 1/6 of a ham?). Don't know what it will be tonight. I do have asparagus for me that I need to cook or roast maybe. At least it will add to the warmth in here.
Cold, 45 degrees and raining off/on all day. Looks like spring outside until you step out there. Doesn't help that I still have to go out every 2-3 hours to tie up mama and let baby goat nurse. Carole are you getting this cold too?
Michelle - you and Debra look like you're having such a good time.
Laurie - I hope your time on vacay will help your anxiety. Please treat yourself well. You do so much for your kids, I can tell. About DA, I did the same thing when Season 3 started on PBS and have already done some of the same thing for Season 4 under production. New series started this week "Mr. Selfridge" about a London department store. I will prob. watch it, but not as enthusiastically as DA.

You guys, I am just so worried about Bedo. I have my own surgery in two days. But I am so worried about her.
0 -
Yes I do wish she would check in. BUT - did some stalking and she has been checking posts.
Bedo - we love you, miss you and think about you. Hope you are getting done what you need to get done. Forgive me for the stalking but at least we know you are getting on 'puter even if you don't feel like posting. Prayers for you sweet sister.
Bobo - Remind me what surgery you are having Friday. In your pockets whatever it is upcoming.

Hi Michelle - I almost got a chance to have that dessert again ... when I was driving around in circles trying to leave Cave Creek. LOL It was a very fun day!

Kitchen table talk. My DFIL passed this morning peacefully in his sleep. He was 90 and not doing well after my DMIL passed in Dec. They are together again after 50+ years of marriage so all is well. Probably won't be here for a bit. Much love to all.

Aw Monica, you and your family have my condolences. It's nice to think that they're together again.
0 -
Monica - so sorry for your family's loss. (((Hugs)))

moon.... I, too, am sorry for your loss. I'm sure they are happily together again.

Monica,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Some couples just can't exist without each other. Sounds like he had a very long life, which is a bit of a comfort.

Haven't cooked for a few days, so tonight it's pizza, thin crust this time. Dough is currently rising.

Monica, condolences to your family. It is comforting to think of a close couple like that being together again, but still a loss for those left behind. ((((HUGS))))
Nance, I'm curious, do you use a pizza stone when you make it. I haven't been using one, but just saw a good deal on one today so will try that next time I make pizza. Love making pizza!!
Met a friend for lunch and had half a turkey club and a greek salad at a newer sports bar that was unbelievably clean with really great sports memorabilia decor. My friend said that they even positioned a picture of smiling Tom Brady to greet you as you enter the ladies room. LoL I think they had some female help with their decor. On the way home stopped at the store and loaded up on veggies and picked up a pork tenderloin, which DH grilled. Also marinated some asparagus for grilling, rounded out with a sweet potato each, and a kale salad with cranberries and almonds.
For some reason, I am "hit the wall" fatigued tonight. I really hope it is not the Tamox effects again. My day was not really THAT tiring...and I think I slept okay last night...I should not feel like I am going to fall over. Damn! I had made up my mind that I would tough out any SE's this round, and have been wearing hand braces to deal with the joint pain that as resumed. But last night while watching TV and pinning ribbons on a new taggie my left hand totally cramped up and assumed this bizarre intractable position for several minutes. Pretty scary! Hope it never happens when I am driving! But I keep reminding myself that these symptoms are small potatoes.
Hope everyone had a good evening....0 -
Lacey, Sometimes I use a stone, sometimes I don't. They do make for a nice crust.
