Ladies, it was way too hot to cook anything. Dh wanted a fend night and that worked just fine for me. Tonight I'm unsure what to make. Oldest ds will be at work and who knows if youngest ds will even be home. Meanwhile, I have a busy day today, starting with much needed acupuncture. Gotta have my weekly bliss. Meanwhile, yesterday I forgot to celebrate a very important event: It was tuesdaysgone's birthday. Happy Belated Birthday and may your year be filled with many joyous moments. If we lived nearby eachother I would bake you your favorite dessert and serve it w/your favorite wine or beverage. What's on your menu? Have a fantastic day.

I'm going to have the leftover pulled pork from last night. I have another cob of corn, and will also cook some pasta(?) or something else on the side. Maybe a green veggie.

DS asked for pizza and since it's his last night here I'll probably get it for him

leannec, she is adorable! Gah, you should have seen me with my white glasses in 6th grade in '59. I hated them with a passion thus there is not one picture with me wearing them. We ended up having lasagna last night since DH had a root canal yesterday and needed something semi-soft. Not sure what is for dinner tonight ~ it's too hot to think about it! Stay cool!

Hi guys...sorry I have been MIA for awhile. I just have been feeling quiet.
Kaitlyn is doing okay. The trip to the Mayo was disappointing. I had no idea how emotional taxing this has been on my girl.
I don't want to be the Debbie Downer on our dinner thread...so I may not post very often for awhile.
Thank you for thinking of us and sending well wishes to Kaitlyn, it means so much.
I do read this thread from time to time and I am sure I have missed so much.
leannec Your daughter looks adorable in her glasses!
And to follow the rules...tonight's dinner will be roasted turkey breast, mashed potatoes and probably corn.

leannec Molly looks adorable. Do I have to cook dinner tonight? Seriously after two nights of terrible sleep due to my teenagers and my kitten all I want to do is go crawl in bed tonight. I know DS is going to want to go to the gym too. But I'm so tired I can barely keep my eyes open.

leannec, Molly is very pretty. Those glasses are made for her. cadoodlebug, how is your dh today? I hope he's comfortable and feeling well. Thanks for asking! He took one pain pill yesterday and took another this morning before going to the gym. He doesn't like that I make him take the Motrin with a glass of milk. Actually it's no laughing matter because my mom ruined the lining in her stomach because her doctor prescribed Motrin for bursitis. That was before they warned about taking too much over a long period of time even though she kept telling him it upset her stomach.

I'm so glad you popped in The Birdhouse Lady and so sorry the Mayo visit didn't offer any help. You have had a busy, emotional year with Kait's health and your DS's wedding. I'm not surprised your body needs a little quiet right now. Happy belated birthday, tuesdaysgone! Molly is adorable in her glasses, leannec! I love the touch of green on the frames. It ended up being a fend for yourself day yesterday so I'm making the focaccia sandwich tonight.

The Birdhouse Lady, Don't feel as though you can't post here, because you're feeling upset. This is your tribe and we're here not just to give eachother dinner ideas, but also to offer hugs and encouragement to our friends who are hurting. You are always welcome and missed when you're not here. cadoodlebug, Motrin is hell on the stomach lining. You are doing the right thing.

Cheeseburgers as it's just DS and I for dinner tonight. Salad, tomatoes which I need to get and maybe I will fry a sweet onion for me.
DS can't eat onions of any kind. He asked at one point to try putting 'negi ' in his miso soup as 'negi ' is good. He didn't know the English name for 'negi' until I told them they are green onion. He speaks no Japanese by choice but knows the words for thank you and green onion. He is so cute!!!

I am making quiche. I have a silpat muffin silicon so I will be making many small quiches so that I have something to heat up when I am hungry. I have so many eggs, as Aldi has them priced so low. I will be adding green onion, mushrooms, red pepper & bacon to the quiches that I am making. Also corn on the cob. I am also going to surprise my friend with a peach cobbler. She hasn't had a peach cobbler and the peaches are so ripe & delicious in Niagara. I went to the local farmers market today and bought fresh green onions, corn on the cob & peaches. Yummy

It's grey and a little bit chilly here so I think a comfort type food sounds good. I'm leaning towards shepherd's pie and green salad.

Try to stay strong The Birdhouse Lady. We think of you often and look forward to hearing from you again when you are ready. cadoodlebug, it's so nice that your family is keeping the dentists in your area so busy. DH had a root canal this summer (right before our vacation) and that was lots of fun $$$ . Hope your family members recover soon. scrapmaven (and other friends) thanks for the birthday wishes. I'm looking forward to another trip around the sun. Tonight I'm adding another ACT student, so I'll be running back out the door soon to tutor. As the test looms, suddenly people are getting more serious about test prep. I'm grabbing a sandwich and leaving poor DH to his own devices.

Not to be outdone by my DS and DH, I have two old crowns that need to be replaced. Hey, I think that was my dentist heading to the Mercedes dealership...

Tonight we are continuing "meals that I don't make when ds is home" with Stuffed Peppers. NO green! Red, yellow and orange peppers, ground beef, rice, Monterey jack cheese and some other stuff that I need the recipe to remember!

The Birdhouse Lady- so sorry the appointment didn't go as hoped. Do whatever you need to for yourself.
Leane- I have a Molly too. She doesn't have cute glasses though.
I made grilled salmon for myself with mashed potatoes and snow peas. Ruined the salmon with Guy Fieri BBQ sauce. I ate it anyways. Dd requested pepperoni rolls. I'm trying to use up stuff in the freezer before we move and had dough already.

According to my weekly meal plan I was supposed to be making DSO's choice of Penang Chicken Curry tonight. However, DSO hasn't been to the Asian supermarket yet to buy several of the ingredients that I can't get at a normal supermarket, despite me asking for the last 3 days. Therefore I don't know what we will be having! I might pick up some scotch fillet or porterhouse steaks on the way home instead. (That will teach me not to insist on making the Penang curry paste from scratch. A jar would have been so much easier!) leannec, Molly looks gorgeous in her new glasses! I wish I looked even half as cute as that. The Birdhouse Lady, thinking of you and Kaitlyn as always. (((Hugs)))

I made a seasoned rice mix with cooked chicken and broccoli florets mixed in. Super simple and it tastes good. Eaten by some here with shredded cheese on top and by another with soy sauce on top. You guess which was which. (Bonus hint: the rice mix flavor was broccoli and cheddar.) The Birdhouse Lady, I'm sorry this is such a difficult time for you. leannec, she is just adorable. Even if she does refuse to eat. tuesdaysgone, sorry I missed your bday yesterday. Happy belated birthday!
