Hi everyone! Another quiet day here ... had some snowfall over night so I'm glad I don't need to go out ... I didn't do laundry yesterday so I'll be looking at that today ... my Hello Fresh box gets delivered as well ... Netflix is on the itinerary ... my glamorous life! This is what I posted on Facebook today ... a little bit of royal family humour! Dinner tonight will probably be something from Hello Fresh ... no idea what because I don't remember what I ordered! Maybe I'll invite my mum over for dinner if I start to feel social later. How is everyone feeling today? What are your plans today? What is on your menu? Have a relaxing Sunday everybody!

I am attempting to self clean my oven without burning the house down. It was awful there for a little bit. I did not want to use the self clean function and I normally don't but my oven was atrocious and no amount of elbow grease was doing the job. So we will see how that turns out.
I've also been sewing. I'm going to put one more row of squares together and then hop in the shower. I got all my laundry done yesterday which is good. So today all I've got to do is keep my kitchen tidy. The cleaning lady comes Tuesday to do the rest.
We will have more popcorn chicken and tater tots for dinner tonight.

Good morning, leannec . Are you watching The Circle, yet? I started it the other day. Do you watch YOU? Those are my two Netflix faves. Enjoy your quiet day and I hope that you're feeling better. We're gonna do some shopping today, which is odd for us on a Sunday. We're going to REI and Macys for dh. Whoopdeedoo. He's gonna have takeout Chinese. I'm so glad that he's taking a break from home projects, so that we can do something different.
jeremysgirl, dh usually puts on the box fan in the window when we do a self clean. Go craft in Esther's room and get away from the smell. I hope that your day is a good one. Enjoy today and make the most of it, my lovelies.

I finished my album last night so I'm going to be sorting pictures and making envelopes and bows this morning.I will leave early to get home to watch the national championship game between LSU and Iowa.
One of our table mates went home yesterday because her 92 year old mom wasn't doing well. I just got a text that she passed peacefully last night.
Teriyaki chicken for dinner.

What are your plans today? I ran to the grocery store real quick for a things I needed and my mom needed. She's home safe and sound. I am putting all my tax stuff together. I have a lot of unreimbursed medical so for the first time in a long time I might be able to file long form. What is on your menu? Not sure. I have homemade sauce and pasta in the fridge so maybe that.

Good evening all. Today started with church. Palm Sunday today, so an extra long Mass for us. Thankfully, our priest is smart enough to know you don't have to give a long homily on days like today. After the Mass, we were able to quickly catch up with an older member of the community, who has been unable to attend for quite a while, after medical issues. He didn't come into the chapel, but was in our coffee room (much larger, fewer people) afterwards. We couldn't stay long, as DH had a 2:30pm flight to Stockholm, so he dropped me at the front door and headed to the airport. I have had a quiet afternoon. I went for a walk, then turned on the football on TV for background noise and got out my knitting. Football has been good for knitting - it is half time in the second game of the day, and no goals have been scored so far! Thankfully, my team hasn't played in either game - we played last night and won convincingly. cadoodlebug - I am sorry to hear about your friend's mum leannec - I hope you enjoy your relaxing day. Do you have this coming week off school as well, or are you back tomorrow? As we had lots of chicken leftover from our roast last night, I am going to make myself a creamy chicken pasta for dinner.

Good morning, leannec . Are you watching The Circle, yet? I started it the other day. Do you watch YOU? Those are my two Netflix faves. Enjoy your quiet day and I hope that you're feeling better. I am actually binging on "NYC Emergency" ... a show about various NYC Emergency departments and personnel and the patients they treat ... interesting stuff! My cousin is a Emerg nurse here in Calgary and she has told me some harrowing stories ... it's a job I could never do! I also recently watched the entire latest season of "Next In Fashion" ... a competition show for fashion designers that is really excellent! I almost never watch Netflix when I'm working because I'm too tired to concentrate

leannec - I hope you enjoy your relaxing day. Do you have this coming week off school as well, or are you back tomorrow? I am on a modified calendar so I get another week off! I need it because I have more appointments ... doctor on Monday and cat groomer on Tuesday ... I have a company coming to pick up all of my bottles and cans for recycling on Tuesday as well - I just can't get to the bottle depot and now I have too much to fit in my car! I am donating the proceeds to the animal rescue group I used to volunteer for.

We’re having pan fried haddock, fresh corn on the cob (trucked in from somewhere, it looks great) and tater tots (not Ore Ida brand). It’s a beautiful day and we’ll cook the fish outside.

I’m at ODS’s babysitting the grandboys. DIL just left for work and DS gets home from work at 3:30. Youngest grandboy just told me “ I go to bed now”, so I took him upstairs and put him in his crib. He’s sound asleep. The other two are watching a movie.
Not sure what’s for supper.
I know that I always call our evening meal “supper” but most of you call it “dinner”. Is supper a Canadian thing?

Hi Everyone, leannec Your meme cracks me up. I don’t know if I could watch the show that you are watching. It might make me become very scared. Does it show a lot of blood and guts? If you Mum comes over for dinner, I hope you both enjoy it. So happy that you get another week off! jeremysgirl Good luck on cleaning your oven. I have to do the same thing this coming up week. I am going to need DH to unscrew the oven door so that I can clean my glass. scrapmaven I am going to have to look those shows up. Hopefully shopping isn’t to bad for you. cadoodlebug Good for you finishing your album! I am so sorry for your friend’s mom. sueg Your day sounds lovely. It’s always wonderful to see people at church who were ill and have been able to come back. KelleeM Your dinner sounds delicious! taylortroop How sweet of your grandson to let you know it was nap time. Delta Dawn You are having a feast for dinner! Today is Palm Sunday at church and afterwards we had a fellowship luncheon. It was wonderful. I am doing my usual cleaning and maybe watch one of the shows that either leannec and scrapmaven mentioned. Dinner tonight is Wagyu steaks, baked potatoes, onions and asparagus. I hope all of you have a peaceful day!

Hi friends! Happy Sunday! We are having tortellini, meatballs, and a salad for dinner, with a mocha mascarpone cheesecake for dessert -- all Aldi! leannec My brother's girlfriend is also an ER nurse. I couldn't do that job either. I had some lovely nurses when I was in the ER twice in 3 days in 2016. Wishing you all a lovely week ahead. ❤

Morning/afternoon all.
Dinner is too far away to know. As always/mostly it's a "I'll know it when I eat it."
I know what I'm not having. The treats I bought from indoor farmers market. I bought a donut for breakfast (I know!) and a cherry hand pie for later.
One bite if the donut and out the window for the birds it went. The oil they fried it in was overused and/or burnt.
Since it wasn't all made by same person at that booth, I held out hope for pie. Not so much. Same oil obviously. Yuk.
Oh well, 4 buck loss but saved a lot of calories. Sigh

Hmmm...planning a grocery delivery from Alsi, maybe I will get lucky! We have been eating like kings on other people's dime this weekend. Nick found several gift cards from Christmas. We had steaks yesterday for a late lunch/early dinner. This morning we went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast. We don't usually eat there so it was a nice change. I don't mind their breakfast, and I found a cute pair of pink and turquoise sandals in the gift shop while we waited. So much fun stuff to look at. Too bad they don't have big girl sizes or I would live in their stuff all summer! I have plenty to read and plenty of fun stuff to play with. I'm still under the weather a bit so I'm in the recliner with a blanket and a pupper in my lap while Nick takes down the looooong overdue winter decorations. In our defense, it did snow yesterday. The weather has just not been warm and dry enough to really get out there. Laundry is almost done. I found a pretty quilt at the thrift store yesterday that will be perfect on the back of the couch in our family/sunroom. I can't wait for it to be dry and see what it looks like. I am planning to lobby for Popeye's spicy chicken sandwiches for dinner later. I need to work on groceries though because we need some things for Nick's lunch. When he comes in we will watch more of the Mecum auto auction from Glendale, AZ we recorded and dream of when we win the lottery!

Still hanging out in my bed wondering when my antibiotics are going to kick in. Dh is going to bring some kind of soup home after he golfs. I’ll have to check Aldi for that cheesecake next time I’m there. That’s too bad about your friend’s mom cadoodlebugIf I had an appetite I’d pick KelleeM’s dinner

I'm so sorry about your friend's mom, cadoodlebug. destined2bmom, The Circle is a reality show. It's a social media competition and really interesting. It does contain NSFW language and some of the folks are wild, but it's really entertaining and you will find yourself rooting for certain individuals. This season doesn't seem as age diverse as usual. YOU is good stuff. I can't tell you what it's about w/o spoiling the first season, but it's a good watch. The 4th season dropped and luckily, there's going to be a season 5, the final season. teddyw, I'm sorry that you are still so sick w/strep. I hope that those antibiotics kick in really soon.

Dinner tonight will be the other half of last night’s BBQ beef and potato salad. DUHHH taylortroop, when I was a kid, my mom used the terms dinner and supper pretty much interchangeably. She told me that “dinner” actually means the main meal of the day (could be a midday or evening meal) and “supper” means the lighter evening meal you’d have after a midday “dinner.” We never actually had a bigger midday meal. So these days, I think we all just say dinner, and I think most other Americans do, too. But maybe not in areas where they do eat their bigger meal at midday. Anyway, we know what you mean when you say supper. teddyw, I’m sorry you’re still feeling sick. Hope the antibiotics kick in soon.

teddyw...Oh noooo! Sorry you're still sick! lucyg....Yesterday, you said you're weird for putting BBQ sauce on potato salad---I do the same! And when we have steak and baked potato, I love to dip the potato in Heinz57 sauce. Since potatoes can be a bit bland, the sauces kick 'em up a notch, eh? I also hate how baked potatoes absorb the butter and sour cream soooo quickly, so you end up using a TON (well, maybe that's just me). Sooo, the Heinz 57 takes care of that! That was wayyyyy too many words to talk about tators! rymeswithpurple---Marscapone AND Mocha!? YUM! scrapmaven---I usually LOVE "The Circle", but kinda lost interest this season. I'll probably go back and finish it someday. Right now, I'm loving "Love is Blind!" I also wanna check out "NY Emergency." DH and I are still enjoying watching "Columbo" every. single. night. We are just enamored with him! I had NO IDEA how popular he is around the world until I did some reading. There's a statue of him in Budapest!

Update: The first few bites were tasty, but we both think that the chocolate got a little overpowering as you got closer to the crust on the end. Still tasty, but could use a little less crust. I'd still say it was worth the $11.

I should be making salmon cakes for dinner.. but I may opt out and get take out sushi. dh said he was going to try driving again.. with the frame on his right leg.. so he went out with the dog two hours ago.. so he must be ok. saves me from the dog walk!!!..
not getting much done today.. I am being lazy. sang a wonderful piece in choir this morning. but i am the only one who can sing the higher notes and after an hour of practice, my voice felt bad!! but we got through it. I tend to have to sing my part alone .. we only have 5 in choir. very small church, but we keep singing. we practice before the service. which is hard on me.. and what is worse is many don't show up on time. oh well.
I need to get back at my bigger projects. my son and his wife got their household goods today.. so I get to hear about all that fun.. which is fine. it is the first dry sunny weekend in months!!!
have a good week everyone.

Well my 3 hour babysitting gig turned into 7 hours. ODS is the supervisor so he had to stay on the job until it was finished. He had pizza delivered for our supper so that was easy.
