Dh was up in the middle of the night w/a slight relapse of the virus we had a couple weeks ago. It's the gift that keeps on giving. I might make chicken soup if dh is in a soup mood. Otherwise, I can make tacos for ds. KelleeM, any change in the power status? Are they still estimating that it'll be back on tmw? What's on your menu? Have a happy day. |

Oh, I hope your dh feels better soon scrapmaven  I have to go to a program for the next eight weeks that involves some physical activity ... let's just say that I am allergic to exercise  Today we will be doing nothing more than relaxation techniques and upper body stretching ... but my upper left arm hurts from my flu shot yesterday ... yes, I am a whiner  Dd#1 has to work tonight so I don't have to deal with her pickiness ... I'm planning to make a new recipe from Pinterest ... garlic tomato basil chicken ... looks very easy which I need these days  I'll serve it with some sort of salad |

Thank you for sharing the recipe leannec. Dh would enjoy that. This year the flu shot really packed a punch didn't it? Motrin will help. Enjoy your class tonight. |

Scrapmaven-send that gift back lol
Surprisingly the flu shot this year didn’t hurt myself or my family at all. Dd got the meningitis last week and her arm still hurts.
So no word from the plumber. So no running water. My dishwasher was full so I emptied it and washed them in the bathtub. The kitchen smells. No clue what we will eat because the power is being turned off soon. The kitchen is getting rewired as it has knob & tube electric still. We knew there was some still in the house. Not sure where else though. We will get an electrician later this year to go through all of the rooms.
Cold & rainy here but they’re still working on the sewer lines out front. Hopefully they move to the next block quickly.
I may forget how to cook at this rate. I could microwave meals if I were really ambitious.

Hope your DH is better scrapmavenleannec That chicken looks good. Add me to the allergic to exercise group! My car is in the shop today. And I am out of town tomorrow for the weekend. I will probably hit TJ's and stock up on junk food for my daughter and niece for this weekend and grab something for dinner when I pick up my car. |

I'm making Tuscan Chicken Pasta tonight. I'm not sure if it's really "Tuscan", but that's what they called it! Chicken, pasta, diced tomatoes, spinach. I haven't made it in quite a while, but we do like it.

We had to evict our tenants of 12 years because they moved two big dogs into the house.  So we had to go get the keys from them and inspect the house. Need to put in new carpets, repaint, new sod in backyard, etc. The only thing we can charge out of their deposit is the new sod. UGH ~ and right now we're down to one car because of DH's being in for repairs after Deergate. No idea what's for dinner ~ have to see when I can use my car to go to Raley's. |

I am thinking I might run over to Sam's club after work because I have a taste for their crab stuffed salmon. DS enjoys it too. So at least I know he'll eat it. I am debating whether to go to yoga tonight. I've been going on Wednesday nights. My problem is it's so late @7:45. I wish it were at 5:30 instead. Once I get home, I'm not super eager to go back out again. I'm feeling a little bit wacky today too. Not sure if I'll be able to get my head in the yoga zone. Plus, I have two crochet projects I really need to get done. I might just stay in tonight.

I am still sick and I was looking at the grocery store flier to think of something for dinner. There is a leg of lamb I could roast, but DS doesn't eat lamb. (Too gamey). We have had a lot of chicken lately so that's probably out. DS doesn't like steak any longer so probably won't make that either. I know what I am making tomorrow, but tonight is the problem. I will let my dad solve it. leannec yeah exercise is not my favourite hobby either. I used to enjoy it and now hate it. I know I should do it, but you know how it is... |

I wish I had your motivation to go, but right now staying alive is taking all my energy. Well not really. So you go to yoga. I actually prefer a later class as I am still cleaning up from dinner at 6:30-7 so a later class works great for me! |

It's already noon your time, so give it a few more hours. I hate that feeling of my mind being jumbled inside. It's so frustrating! I do get it but I hate it. |

I just checked the website and our restoration estimate has been changed to noon on Friday. We’re considered a “minor” outage because only 27 houses are affected. They’re concentrating on the big ones. For whoever asked yesterday, I’m in Northeastern Massachusetts and we had wind and heavy rain on Sunday night that caused extensive power outages.
Oh dinner tonight is probably going to be Olive Garden.

For our dining pleasure this evening we will be enjoying an egg sandwich, or a fried egg and toast, or something else quick and effortless. I do not feel like putting much effort into fixing food.......and it is only Wednesday....the rest of the week isn't looking all that good either. KelleeM they just keep moving that carrot don't they, just as you get close they move it further away. jeremysgirl please go to yoga for me, I wish there was somewhere around this desolate bleak landscape to go to an exercise class of any kind. teddyw when I was in college I used to wash my clothes in the bathtub and hang them up from a clothes line in my bedroom, but I have never done dishes in a bathtub. I am so sorry everything is taking so long to get going so you can enjoy your "new" house. cadoodlebug that is a lot of fixing up that needs doing, I do not envy all that work at all. Good luck! scrapmaven I hope your DH feels better soon and you do not re-catch whatever it is/was.... Happy Wednesday Everybody! |

I made Tuscan chicken soup. I altered the published recipe years ago and now cannot remember what is in it that is not really Tuscan, except I put a can of mixed vegetables in it and I do not think the Tuscans had cans. I also used the immersion blender on it before adding the pieces of chicken that I roasted in the oven and for sure those Tuscans did not have one of those! I wish I had fresh bread, but it's too late for that. I'll make cornbread, too. So, there will be butter on the table tonight. Yay! Thanks for the thread. The entire tribe wishes health to Mr. DH of the Magnificent Tribal Leader, scrapmaven . And arrows of power to KelleeM , but not until after she goes to eat at Olive Garden. For sure. |

We go to court later this month. I feel both ways. Sometimes sad, sometimes really excited and happy, and sometimes both at the same time. I feel bad for my kids because it has to be awkward for them |

I made loaded baked potato soup, first time in about 10 years. It seems to be alright, still simmering away. I did not bake the potatoes, I cubed them and then cooked in the cream/milk-is it critical that the potatoes be baked?

leannec, thanks for the recipe! That looks perfect for tomorrow night!
Tonight will be re-run of potroast. I'll make a green salad. I expected to be out of town for work tonight, but cancelled the trip because of SNOW.
NOOOOOOO! I don't want winter to start! |

KelleeM, so sorry to find out you are "minor."  I'm sure it doesn't feel that way after so many days in the dark. hop2, thinking of you and hoping for a bright future soon. jeremysgirl, get yourself to yoga if you can. I go on Wednesdays too and I often have to force my sorry ass out the door to make my 6:30 class, but I feel so much better mentally and physically when I do. I think I'll make some rice and a side for DH and make myself a sandwich before I get back out there to yoga. I'll hurry home to watch more of Stranger Things...I treat myself to two episodes per night. Much of this show was filmed right around me, so it's extra fun when I recognize something.

Kelleem, so sorry y’all haven’t had power restored. There are still people here without it too; ours was out briefly so can’t complain.
Dinner is black bean chili with chorizo, chicken and butternut squash. I had a burrito at a Mexican restaurant with those flavors Sunday and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. There’s something about the sweetness of the squash and the heat of the various peppers...

I missed the thread yesterday, way to busy to even look! Not sure on dinner tonight. I am thinking something with chicken. I just bought some breasts and froze them so at least I have that. Just need the sides. |
