    Minus, I’m glad the spring rolls were good. With 50 in a box I wouldn’t have been brave enough to buy them untested.

    Wally, I hope they can come up with a new plan for your DH.

    Dinner tonight was meatballs in Rao’s on spaghetti.

    Carole: They are Bibigo brand frozen spring rolls. Option for Air Fryer or Oven, but I don't have an air fryer. So oven at 425 degrees for 11-13 minutes from frozen.

    I'm dreading mailing Christmas packages later this week.

    Unstuffed pork cabbage "stew"-like meal.

    Call from onco dept….dh will see onco tomorrow and not PA; I guess they get the urgency (after my rant when they tried to push us to Saturday).

    Shipping rates have gone up like everything else.

    We’re due for more snow tomorrow, unfortunately the heavier type.

    Dinner to night was artichoke chicken casserole.

    Wally - hope doc appointment for DH is positive. Or at least illuminating.

    I second Minustwo's hope for the appointment.

    Maggie, could you give some recipe info about your artichoke chicken casserole? It sounds like a dish I would like.

    We had the leftover pork piccata with a side of carrots that were lightly "candied." Simmered until tender, drained and flavored with butter and brown sugar. Dh commented that this pork piccata was the best I'd ever made. I didn't point out that he said that the last time I cooked it. LOL.

    I haven't made piccata in a long time. I need to pick up some tenderloins at Costco next week.

    we have a giant box of those spring rolls too. We like them a lot. I use the air fryer function on my oven to fix them.

    Hoping for some better news for you Wally.

    Terribly windy today. I have to bring in my Christmas reindeer doormat for fear of it flying away. Oh the irony lol.

    Tonight is Italian beef sandwiches made with a $20 chuck roast. Such are the times

    Artichoke Chicken Casserole (4 servings) I cut the recipe in half.

    1 cup mayo, 1 cup grated parm, 1 tsp (or to taste) garlic powder, 4 4oz skinless boneless chicken breast halves, 14 oz can drained artichoke hearts, 8 0z sliced cremini (or other) mushrooms

    1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix mayo, garlic powder and cheese in a bowl.
    2. Arrange chicken breasts in a 9x13 baking dish with cover (or whatever size works.) Top with artichoke hearts and mushrooms. Spread mayo mix over artichoke mushroom layer.
    3. Cover and bake 35 - 45 min until cooked (165 F.)

    Carole, Sometimes it's a positive when your DH doesn't remember so a recipe can be the best ever multiple times.

    Nance, At least an expensive chuck roast provides more than one meal. I wonder if the reindeer mat would shout "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night" if it blew away.

    We have 4 inches of wintry mix to be shoveled tomorrow morning.

    Dinner tonight was stuffed peppers and mashed potatoes.

    Maggie - thanks for the recipe. I want to try it too.

    Dinner didn't happen tonight. I'm mildly hungry but too tired to eat.

    But I did get all the presents wrapped & packaged that have to be sent out of town & out of state - four substantial boxes. I'm hoping I can still get away with FedEx ground, except for the one to Panama. That leaves everything to wrap that's local, including nephew's family, ex-DH and wife, the mailman, garbage man, paper carrier, police dept, etc. At least it's spread all over the living room floor and no longer on my son's bed - since he'll be here for the weekend on Friday. I won't have time to deliver before he comes but hope to get everything at least wrapped & tagged & stacked in a corner.
