leannec , I'm waiting for a big Hobby Lobby sale and then I'm going to get all new Christmas decorations. Now that the kids are grown I'm thinking about switching to the pretty winter blues and cream colors. After all, I am a nice, Jewish girl. A huge ((((HUG)))) for all of the lovely thoughts that so many of you have extended during the past week. I wasn't really online yesterday and just read that thread. I'm so grateful to you and I want you to know how much you mean to me. I am very grateful. cadoodlebug , you are so thoughtful and sweet. Thank you for my treat. Not sure what is on the dinner table tonight. Probably a dh pasta night or even pizza. I'm still resting and continuing my work from the hospital. @calimom2 you were very right, but I have been vague here since it's the dinner thread.

I'm not sure yet, volleyball game at 4 and depending on how that goes, they're may or may not be another. We thought about a turkey dinner, but we don't have anything for that. Lol. So, something easy or restaurant.

It's a nice fall day here in my corner of MD - perfect for watching the Redskins game this afternoon and enjoying a nice hot bowl of chili and just baked cornbread later on.

scrapmaven, I'm so glad to see you posting today. I'm headed to a late afternoon tea (birthday party for a friend) at my sister's house today, so that will serve at least as heavy appetizers, if not actual dinner. There's still lots to eat in my fridge, too.

We went for a walk today, all four of us. Can't remember last time DS decided to join us, so that made me happy. Although he refused to pick pine cones with his sister (who love to collect them and then paint them).
Dinner today was a lamb roast, hasselback potatoes, gravy and mixed vegetables. Perfect food for a grey, wet autumn day.

Steak, spaghetti squash and mixed veggies.
Please send some good positive thoughts my way I have a few medical tests coming that I'm chicken about. Not supposed to be serious but she's testing me for something.
And the boy needs to finish up his eagle project, last merit badge and lots of paperwork.
I really have no time for this stuff.

We're having chicken wings and vegetable fried rice. If anyone has a fool proof method of making crispy chicken wings in the oven I'd be eternally grateful!! I cooked the rice earlier and it's in the fridge getting cold. Dh did the grocery shopping this morning and bought sugar snap peas instead of snow peas so I have to figure out how to work those into the fried rice! leannec...I'm a-okay with Christmas decorations! scrapmaven...continued good thoughts for healing. hop2... hoping all is well with you!

So you're telling me the sugar snap peas are a no go in the rice? I have broccoli, carrots, celery and onion...not sure dh would be on board with regular peas. I appreciate your help though!

They're probably fine. I was just (attempting) being funny. ETA I always do just use frozen peas myself, though.

lucyg...gotcha! I found a recipe and am going to sauté them in olive oil with a touch of sesame oil and sprinkle them with sesame seeds (which I bought last week with no idea what I was going to do with them). If dh wasn't so anti-garlic I'd use some...I snuck some by him in the chicken tortilla soup yesterday!

I have carne asada (tacos or burritos take your pick!), Mexican Rice w/Fideo, Fresh Corn on the Cob w/Chili Lime Salt and Borracho Beans. My grocery store gave me free chocolate chip cookies when I went shopping today so that's what's for dessert!
And again, I spent just a little over $200 and saved $83! With coupons! And my store had so many Buy this, get this free offers on stuff I was already buying that I ended up with my basket overflowing with product. It was a VERY good shopping day.

I was going to cook, but I'm in kind of a crappy mood, so I'm thinking leftovers. Sausage and rice for DS, Mexican Pumpkin Chili for me.

DH & I are heading to the Anahein game in a few minutes (to cheer for the Canucks), so I guess we are eating arena food for dinner. We took the kids out for brunch earlier and I'm not sure I need to eat again until tomorrow.

That sounds perfect , but since I don't have enough fresh potatoes to make them, how bad would it be if I ran out to the RV and grabbed one of our instant pouches? Save
