AKathy's "What's For Dinner?" 03/21

DS will be coming up sometime today to hunker down for a while. He's bringing 5 rolls of toilet paper and a case of water.

Needless to say, my 4-day crop for next weekend was cancelled. Broke my heart but it needed to be done.

We're having Chicken Noodle Soup for dinner.

I posted this on the Funny Memes thread:

leannec ....(( hugs )) for all that's going on with your dds; it must be so hard!  


jeremysgirl ....How's your dd doing?  Prayers have been sent up--also,
sending you (( hugs )).   



We're having our 'tradishh'  Saturday night pizza and salad tonight. Since we're
having a frozen Digorno (omg, we think it's the YUMMIEST frozen brand!) Before
throwing it in the oven, I add lots provolone cheese, garlic powder,  oregano, and basil.  After it comes
out of the oven, drizzle olive oil around the crust...YUM !!!
(It's NOT my idea--- I 'm soo thankful I learned this from a cooking show. 
The olive oil  reallllllly ratches up the flavor/ texture of the crust, especially! )


Thankfully, DH stocked up on the doggie's "Coastal Catch" kibble and they have
plenty of their canned food, too.


Meaty sends ((( Hugs )))) to everybully !!!!! 

oooh, your comfort casserole sounds soooo yummy!  What time shall we arrive at your house for din-din?  I promise we'll sit six feet away from you and your DH!   


On the topic of COMFORT food, I am going to TRY to stop eating Little Debbies so often! 
Notice I didn't say I'd COMPLETELY stop---just trying to CUT DOWN !!!!    I already look a bit like "Big Deborah"---I do NOT need to gain any Covid-Binging-Weight !!

leannec , have fun at the show house. Do your dd's like he girlfriend? She could be transition woman and a temporary girlfriend, but if she's going to be long term the girls should like her. I want to remind you that your dd's will come back to you. It's normal to gravitate twd the dad for a bit. Then they come back to you. Right now their foundation is rocky and they're navigating their path. You'll all come through this and thrive.

scrappintoee , big cuddles to half of my favorite bull doggie duo from their auntie Scrapmaven. Meaty's fur is so shiny and soft. As a lover of Ho-Hos, I will tell you that it's OK to sometime. Why are snack cakes so good?

Dh is on his way down to pick up ds2. Ds1 is on the sofa next to me, cuddling w/a pussy cat and surfing. I'm not sure what to make for dinner. I plan to make chicken risotto in the IP, but I'll see how late they will arrive and I'll also see what they eat on the road.   They are planning to do this w/o stopping anywhere.  Neither one will be keen to drive thru anywhere, so they might just head back w/only a gas stop.

Enjoy your day, my lovelies.

We will eat the grilled steak tips and chicken I planned for last night since it’s now thawed out and marinating in the fridge. There will be fries and a salad as well unless someone else plans different sides. 

leannec hugs as your girls navigate their lives. Both of my kids lived with my ex for a time. It wasn’t the worst thing that happened. 

jeremysgirl I hope your dd is doing better. 

I don’t know

I want pizza but I doubt that’ll happen.

I've had a busy morning video chatting through Facebook messenger. I read a friend was lonely on her page. So I posted on mine is be around all day to chat if people wanted and some people have taken me up on the offer. So much so that I had to plug my phone in and recharge.

I've made some cowboy caviar. We will have that with Coney dogs. DH went to the store this morning and got groceries and most stuff was in stock. He was able to get Coney meat and hotdogs.

My DD has been a little quiet this morning but she assured me she's doing ok. If she wasn't she's be blowing up my phone. So I'm good with everything right at this moment.

Flash back alert to my mom's special occasion bean sprout casserole. Imagine unseasoned ground beef, peas and CANNED bean sprouts covered in cream of mushroom soup and topped with crushed potato chips. We'd get so excited about finishing the bag of chips, which really didn't go far with a family of seven. 

We are having burgers tonight. Meat based for the kids and Beyond Burgers for DH & I, with raw veggies or maybe a slaw.

We are back from packing up ds' dorm and moving him home. It felt so strange to be doing that at this time of year. We were all a little sad.
We skippee lunch so when we got home, we ate our leftover pizza from last night. If we get hungry later, there are tons of snacky, appetizery items in the freezer.
My focus this week is not to eat like an asshole. 😁

Looks like we are having chicken thighs for dinner. Used one of my pinterest recipes and serving them with mashed potatoes and broccoli.

I was just skimming posts and thought you said you taught your dog to sit using treats.  Then I took a closer look and thought you taught your dog to knit.  Well that would be quite a trick.  Then I read your whole post with my full attention.  i'm sorry you don't have a dog who can knit.

Thank you for sharing the "eating like an asshole" phrase because that is what has happened to me this week. We spent a few days at the lake (sat in someone else's house rather than our own) and ate nothing healthy except grapes and apples.

So upon return to the city (and sitting in our house) I went to the grocery store for veggies and fruit and food for breakfast, lunches and dinner (not just the regular dinner stuff I usually buy). Then proceeded to organize/inventory our food supplies. We have an unusual amount of microwave popcorn, canned soup and Jello. So lunch today was popcorn. Dinner will be lasagna I found in the freezer from a dinner not too long ago and a fresh salad with tomatoes and cucumber. Still a little assholian but better than what happened earlier in the week.

Hot dogs on the grill for us, with fixings.
