Susan, I lived in Atlanta for 11 years. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope that the weather holds up for you
Auntienance. Gimme!
For dinner Miralax, a ton of it, and only clear liquids since 11:00 am today. Going for the "Big Girl" test tomorrow. Sorry, some of you, Top Secret. We have been sworn to secrecy. Don't want to scare the youngen's. You'll find out when you're older ( or your doc will tell you if you have a family history). For Breakfast Versed and ?? Too bad I won't remember a thing! Hope I don't make a fool of myself and tell random people that I love them or worse.

I fixed a nice dinner. London Broil, sweet potatoes, salad, desert....
I had to switch gears from cooking to emergency medical.....
I had to do abdomenal thrusts on my mom...I got it dislodged about 30 seconds before EMS got here.
Mom says she's OK, but over her objections, I'm going to take her to the emergency dept to make sure all is OK. She's 95 next week, on Warfarin and I *really* had to squeeze her.....0 -
Susan... So sorry to hear. Prayers for you and your family.
Bedo... Best of luck, hope all goes well.
Nancy... Your posts always result in weight gain! Living vicariously thru you. Glazed key lime bread? Now that sounds yummy! How did the pie turn out?
Eric... So glad you were there for your mom. How is she doing? Leftovers will be great knowing she's okay.0 -
Eric - Thank God you were there. Scary. Hope ER visit is for naught.
Susan - Safe travel to Georgia. Prayers going with DH, you and for your DD also.
Bedo - had Propofol for my test with some inane comment about Michael Jackson. Wishing you only the best tomorrow. Want to hear you passed test with flying colors.
Nancy - All sounds lovely. Might have to go by Williams-Sonoma on Friday to see what they have. It's a store I forget is there, not in the usual shopping area. Have to go to gyno for yearly - yuck.
Finally made the roasted peppers/onions with the leftover pork roast in salsa. Yummy on flour tortillas. DH cleaned up afterwards. 3 small bags peppers frozen. Little soft but none spoiled.

2nd, the pie turned out better than expected, although the meringue was a little weepy. For a first effort it was acceptable. Nobody spit it out anyway lol

Bedo, good luck tomorrow.
Susan, I feel for your family with these close together losses...and so especially sad for your daughter. Have a safe trip. I hope you will be able to pay attention to self-care in addition to the family needs. You have individually been through a lot this past month.
Caring thoughts being sent your way.
Last night's dinner was okay...chicken scaloppine with saffron cream sauce, couscous, tuscan kale salad, carrots tarragon and parsnip cake for dessert. I was underwhelmed...maybe just too tired.
Today I made squash barley soup and an onion, red pepper, mushroom quiche. We had the quiche for dinner with an arugula, butternut squash, red onion salad. It was such a crappy weather day, I enjoyed spending most of the day in the kitchen. At about 6 PM, there was this sudden flash of light though the west window......the SUN. It was jolting!!

Nancy... Weepy or not, sounds yummy! Love the combination of sweet & tart. Hoping your family appreciates the home-cooking, a lost art.
Dinner for me: DH slept all day, so just cooking for me and decided on something not messy to make. I'll admit, I cheated: started with dry potato soup mix adding boiled red potatoes, cheese, some leftover sautéed red pepper. Craving baked zucchini sticks, that's in the oven. Not much, but its what I want.0 -
Oh, Eric, hope your mom is doing okay.....
My stepmother is doing well after a couple of rough weeks right after her kidney surgery. She is going to leave the rehab where she's been worked hard in PT and OT so she can get home. Fortunately her advanced age is allowing for no immediate intervention on the leftover margin issues, which her doc will monitor with a CT Scan in three months.
I am so relieved that she does not need to face chemo now in her more frail physical condition.0 -
Nance, lemon meringue pie can be fussy, especially in humid weather......still tastes good tho, to which your guests attested! I love a good homemade lemon meringue pie. I'll have that along with your sour dough bread please!

Susan, sorry about your DMIL. HUGS.
Linda, one thing I could eat was a baked potato with lemon and a bit of soy sauce. The salt and flavor of the soy and the tart of the lemon tasted good.0 -
Susan ((Hugs)).
My mom is OK.

I cheated a bunch over the last few days - ate wheat AND sugar AND milk products - oh god, I am in SUCH PAIN. I don't know why I do this to myself. I really truly know better - but sometimes just miss being "normal". Normal is so much NOT me any more.....
Didn't find anything yet in our house/property hunting

Bedo -- Versed! Hooray! Thinking of you. Wish I could be there to make you some Indian food when you can eat it. I have an excellent cookbook, the woman went with her spiritual leader into the kitchens of the temples.
Nancy -- don't listen to Carberry! Marry me! You know that saying about the cow and the free milk. Don't let Carberry cheapen what we have!
Let's see.. what can I offer.. I will match Carberry, plus offer a weekly cleaning service. And a kitchen helper to follow you around and clean up. PLEASE NOTE: it will not be me. I do not like to do dishes.

Carole, I cannot believe you made little ears with pesto. My great-grandma used to make that! That sounds absolutely delicious.

A big ribeye for dinner tonight. I'm celebrating my WW weigh-in for April in typical WW member style, with food! We'll cook the steak with the sear and finish in a hot oven method because we like it better that way than cooked on the grill. I even bought baking potatoes today to go along with the steak.
Susan, I'm sorry about your MIL. In addition to the loss and grief, settling an estate can be a giant headache.
Garden, wishing you a fast recovery from the ill effects you're suffering.
Eric, glad your mom is ok. My mother is 90.
I have a beautiful and interesting new (for me) cookbook that I'm enjoying reading. Rocco Dispirito's NOW EAT THIS. It has wonderful photographs of the "Real Mamas of Italy." Rocco has redone favorite Italian dishes so that a serving is no more than 350 calories. My WW leader has been passing along recipes from this book. I saw it and bought it. I could have a worse addiction than buying cookbooks!

Also, for those of you not on facebook. Debbie's husband is half way through his surgery and doing well. Also her brother and SIL drove 6 hours to be with them for the surgery. She sounded up beat in her posts and things seem to be going well.

Laurie,
Thanks so much for the update on Chuck's surgery for us that are not on Facebook! If you can, could you let us know how he's doing when the surgery is over? I think of Debbie everyday and really miss her posts....
Debbie,
If you're still reading here, sending prayers to you and Chuck! Miss you my fellow June B-Day girl.....0 -
Debbie - prayers for Chuck and for you winging their way from Texas.
Laurie - thanks for updating us.
UMM - onion rolls. Have no idea what dinner will be tonight. At the rate storms are building to the west might be flying branches. I think somewhere I have frozen chicken fried steaks that need using up. Might be that with the some gravy and oven fries. Need to look up the tomato/basil cornbread recipe. Might be good with it.

Seaside- I will post her updates on facebook as they come in. I know we are all worried about her and Chuck. I like to think things come in three's- Michelle's amazing news is #1....

Fun with pasta

Oh Bobo, you sorely tempt me . . . . .

Nancy - You are surely enjoying your Christmas present!
Do you have a favorite recipe for English muffins? I make chicken salad for DH regularly - OK with canned chicken. I bet DH can bend the insides of the cans in to make them not so sharp. Williams Sonoma website doesn't have any rings. Need to persuade DH to make Amazon order soon.

Laurie, thanks for updates on Debbie.
Nancy, would love to spend a day with you having that kind of fun! We have similar tastes.

Thanks Laurie! We're heading out tonight to celebrate good mammo/US for me. Was sweating this one because I thought felt something but everything came back good! A big deal for me but so so small compared to what others are dealing with...
Bobo,
Your post totally cracked me up!! Love your sense of humor...lol!
Nancy,
Loved that pic!! That looks like a serious pasta making session... I need to get up the nerve to try!0 -
Nancy, have you made spinich pasta? I like to use frozen spinich, juice and all, puree in food processor, add lemon juice and flour.
Seaside, congrats!
Making pasta really is easy. Egg noodles are easy to start with, just find a receipe and go with it. Just be sure to use enough flour that it is not sticky.
