AKathy's "What's For Dinner?" 06/20

DS will be arriving early afternoon to SIP through DH's birthday in July. Looking forward to playing lots of Mexican Train Dominoes and watching Line of Duty on Prime!

Dinner tonight will be Chicken Divan with a fruit salad.

Missed reading the thread yesterday. We were super busy. Mountain hikes & whitewater rafting.

Had one of the worst takeout pizzas ever but everyone was so hungry no one complained.

Today we’re going on more hikes. 1 to a rock slide park. I’ll watch from the side the water temp is 45 degrees. Then on to some more waterfall hikes.

Supposed to have chicken tinga tacos. I brought all the ingredients.

I have a favor to ask.
My nephew’s sister in law is 25 and newly diagnosed with melanoma that has spread. She’s very depressed.
If anyone is willing to send her a card or note of encouragement they’d really appreciate it.
Her mom died when she was 11 and her dad I think when she was 19. So she really doesn’t have someone to really fall back on.
Here’s her info if anyone feels like sending one.

Thank you

teddyw I am Very happy to hear that you are enjoying your vacation. That’s the only reason why I liked your post. I am very sorry for your niece. I am going to make her a card and keep her in my prayers. Please let her know. It may take a while to get from the US to her.

leannec he is doing great. He is up walking when he needs to go to the bathroom and the trek down there takes a while. I think his recovery is great! I am so relieved. This tribe got me through this and I thank each and every one of you for you love and support. You are all amazing women!

do the line breaks go on the envelope exactly like that? I've never mailed anything overseas

I'm lobbying hard for take-out. It will be the first time since January.

teddyw, happy to hear that you're having fun! Sad to hear about your family member. 

miominmio, congratulations to you dd for a clean round! That' s terrific! I can't answer for all Americans, but this American uses the term jitters/jittery.

Oh, I forgot to mention this. When we were on our walk this morning a friend told us that a Fed Ex delivery kid came running away from a house around the corner from us. When he went to put the box down by the front door, a rattlesnake that was right under the door step started making noises. Scared the poor kid to death. Our friend put a big note on the owner's garage door alerting them to the snake. In this area you always look under your door steps for snakes.

I am getting out of the house and going for a drive with my husband. We got hit with covid-19. We have been continuing quarantining for 3 weeks (length of the virus) and need some fresh air and new scenery! We were sooo sick! I already had oxygen at home because of my hypoxia, and I tell you, had I not had that, I would have ended up in the hospital. The whole thing felt so scary, just because we know so many people have died, but we only have lingering coughs left now. We have no idea how we got it. We have been SIP since the beginning, we only go out to get food or to the doctor. We thought we might have gotten it from our daughter who came to see us on Memorial Day (social distancing) because she had come straight from the airport. She tested negative though. So, we have no clue...maybe a package or grocery bags? They say that's unlikely. The doctor's office? Maybe? Anyway, we are better now, thank heavens! We are going to take a "picnic" and eat in the car when we find somewhere pretty to park. Not sure what the food will be, maybe sandwiches or chicken.

jeremysgirl That is gorgeous, and so difficult!
teddyw I'm sorry about your family member's cancer, prayers out for her.

Been a lazy Saturday here.

teddyw So sorry to read about your nephew’s sister in law. I will say a prayer for her healing.

We will have the brats I mentioned yesterday as we did not get to them. My bathroom sink was draining slow, so I put some Drano it it and forgot about it. Must have eaten right through the pipe or something as I had a flood of yuck all under the sink and onto the bathroom floor. After getting that cleaned up, take out sounded better, so we had breakfast from Village Inn delivered. Will call plumber on Monday.

Hope everyone enjoys their evening.

We are having the steak we had planned for last nights dinner. Made a potato and salad to go with it.

teddyw, sounds like a great vacation for outdoor adventure! I'll send a card along to Lauran. We have a dear family friend that was first diagnosed with melanoma a year or two older than her and has responded so well to an immunotherapy trial that there has been NED for a few years. There has been so much advancement in treating melanoma.

Your crochet project is gorgeous, jeremysgirl!

Congratulations to your DD, miominmio! Controlling precompetition jitters is not easy.

Glad to hear you are recovering, SunnySmile! I'm sure a picnic and fresh air will feel fabulous.

Delta Dawn, so glad to hear your dad is up and about. DH had a hip replacement almost 10 years ago and his ONLY regret was not doing it sooner. The pain relief was immediate.

Dinner tonight is grilled Italian sausages with the usual vegetables (onions, peppers, zucchini and asparagus) and a coleslaw.

Still no decisions made but I did bake an apple crumble pie and we can’t wait to eat it. The fish is light anyway so I will bake it and no rice so we can have pie instead.

Today is such a good day.
