Last night I made a one pot dish of chicken, peas, rice and scallions and a salad. Tonight I'm thinking about creamy chicken penne. hop2, if you're able to check in please let us know how you're doing? Thinking of you and hoping that you're out of Club Med. PolarGreen12, how is your dad today? I'm thinking of you, as well. Have a peaceful and healthy day.

DD has a cold, so our plan of driving an hour to an art gallery (and they have a great restaurant....AND a beach!) has been postponed. Instead, she has spent most of the day in bed, reading. Dinner today was smoked salmon, zucchini/garlic and pasta. Strawberries and ice cream for dessert.

My menu is pasta with homemade marinara. I plan to sneak zucchini into the sauce. I'm sure I will be roasted for this choice.
Then crochet with my girlfriend's tonight!

scrapmaven he is doing good so far, thank you! They took congestive heart failure off the table and added kidney infection. We caught the pneumonia early, so hes responding to treatment well. He is actually eating real food so far in the hospital. I think my Mom is ready to strangle him over that. lol I'm pretty sure a "come to jesus" moment will happen before he comes home about his diet. Dinner tonight will be another drive thru meal as after work, going to the hospital to give mom a quick break till 630 and them I have a hair appointment. I'll probably have a power nap in the salon chair. 😂😔 But I'm so looking forward to my hair appointment. They give the best scalp and hand massages while your hair is wrapped in a hot towel with serum on. It's fabulous.

We have had another lovely day here. Just before lunch time, we were picked up and taken to a local winery. After a tour of the vineyards and the processing facility, we went inside for a tasting. We tried about 8 different wines, and they also brought us a platter of local meats, cheeses, bread and dips for the first 5, then dried fruits, nuts and chocolate for the dessert wines. We bought a few bottles - some to drink while we are here, and some to take home. After that exertion, and because I didn’t want to have to get dressed into clothes again, we decided to order in for dinner. We ordered a 2-person meat platter - 3 types of gyros meat, 2 souvlaki sticks, pita bread, dips and salad. I think it was meant for 2 Greek teenagers who’d been picking grapes all day, there was so much food. Ah well, we’ll have something for lunch tomorrow I guess!

I have zero ideas. I guess I'd better defrost some chicken or ground beef, pronto. Gotta feed that kid something tonight, and then his dad says he's taking him till Sunday night. I'll be on vacation! Expect to see a lot of pizza, BBT (still haven't watched most of the last season), and scrapbooking going on here.

Thank you scrap maven I am home!!! Hopefully on the mend this time! Fingers crossed thoughts & prayers accepted. I was given permission to go back to work tomorrow but I am not. I’m waiting til Friday as Friday is the easiest day of my year, so I’m not going to miss that! Especially since horrible boss is back Monday 😫 I have to thank Ex for he ferried me there and back this week so DS could go to work. So maybe he’s not a complete jerk just a partial one. Dinner should be cheddarwurst in the grill that I’m going to make DS grill. They go visit DD tomorrow so I have a day to lay around and do nothing! Which I think I need. Hopefully your doing better scrapmaven ?

I had breakfast made for me today!!! This was a total score.
Tonight’s dinner will be chicken thighs, salad, grape tomatoes, green beans and avocado. It’s very easy tonight.

I'm working on using stuff from the freezer. I had ONE chicken breast in a package yesterday, so thawed it out and made fajitas with some onions and peppers--they turned out great--but have enough leftovers for tonight, so ONE chicken breast for two nights of dinners! There is only two of us here, but that makes 4 servings!! Added watermelon, and called it dinner. still have some watermelon, so that will be dinner again tonight.

DH just made a batch of biscuits so tonight we're having sausage gravy and biscuits and whatever else I come up with. Pears for dessert, and another episode or two of that oldie, Hill Street Blues... it really was a great series.

My boss went out to lunch at Ike's Chili and brought me back an order of their white chicken chili, so dinner tonight is taken care of. 👍 No drive thru!!

leannec, you are very pretty. You don't need makeup. PolarGreen12, yay on the salon. My ds' girlfriend is having a facial as I type. I'm so jealous of you two. Might I suggest that you try a hot stone massage and mud wrap? You'll just become a big pile of mush. It's wonderful stuff. hop2, so glad that you're out of the clink. You sound better, too. Your ex-hole had to do one decent thing and I'm glad this was it. Thank you for asking about me. I am scheduled to have my replacement on Friday am. I'm waiting to see if the big city can do it sooner, cause it's very uncomfortable when I move around at all.

Great photo, leannec! You do sound much better, hop2, and it's nice to know your ex will step in when needed. sueg, I don't think a day could be much better than what you described. scrapmaven, still sending gentle hugs and hoping your dang tube issues are resolved. I'm grilling chicken to use with the tzatziki still hanging around from the weekend. Broccoli slaw also needs to be used, but I've been tossing it with a spicy peanut vinaigrette lately and don't think that will go with the tzatziki. Might have to find another dressing.

hop2 and scrapmaven, both of you hang in there. I'm glad one friend is feeling better and wishing happy new tubes to my other friend.
Dinner will likely be leftovers. I'm going to yoga tonight and DH will be happy to fend. If he decides to go play poker, then he can eat dinner out.

I cooked a smoked sausage and egg scramble with sliced strawberries on the side. Wish I’d add some onions and peppers to add to it, but it was okay as it was. Now back to clearing out my dd’s former room. Gotta get that craft room ready!
