aKathy's What's for Dinner? 5/15

My mom and I are doing take out. Not sure what we will order just yet

It's Friday of a long weekend here and I am being lazy so hotdogs and potato chips it is.

Have a lovely day and weekend ladies and Happy May 24 to the Canadians on this thread.

Good morning!

scrapmaven I am sure you will figure out dinner and it will be a hit! 

paget Enjoy your time with your daughter!

psiluvu What is significant about May 24th? 

ODS had a medical teleconference appointment this morning. I got up and didn’t get showered, dressed, brush My hair, or put on makeup and the stinker kept putting the camera on me. I am sure I frightened the doctors (women) or they probably thought that isolation hasn’t been doing me any favors. 

Last night the salmon and rice with broccoli and corn was delicious. I haven’t thought what is on tonight’s menu. Off to check the freezer. 

I hope that all of you have a lovely day and I am keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

The official name is Victoria day.  A day to celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday on May 24.  Despite that it is always the 3rd Monday in May.  As Queen Victoria has been dead for many years and it is the unofficial kick off to the summer people (in Ontario, not sure about the rest of Canada) refer to  it as May 24, with most times 24 referencing a case of 24 beer

I finally heard from my HR department.  I was assigned Mondays off.  No choice.  But they couldn't have picked a better day for me.  I was also told that we should plan to work from home until August.  So there's that.  I was also told not to log in and file a claim with unemployment until I get further instruction.  It seems we are eligible for something but HR hasn't yet determined what so we are on hold.  And I was given the afternoon off.  If you're counting that means I'm free until Tuesday!!!!  All in all, good news all around.  I'm a happy gal right now.  

Since I derailed my own dinner plans last night, I will go forth with the tortellini tonight.  And I will spend my afternoon doing?  Who knows.  I will play for sure.  

Good day, ladies!  

Happy Friday!
I have just come off a Zoom call with some of my knitting friends in the UK and one from Norway - we all met up through Ravelry many years ago, and have had a few weekend 'retreats' together. I haven't seen them since 2 years ago, so it was great to catch up.
DH had a check up with his urologist today (follow up from prostate issues a few years back) and all is well, though he needs another scan as she thinks he has a kidney stone. While he was in the city, he went to the main open-air market there and bought loads of fresh food - fish, chicken, sausages and seafood mix.
As a result of his adventures, tonight's dinner is whole dorade, which he has seasoned with fresh herbs from the balcony and lemon. It will be served with fries and maybe salad.

Happy Friday everyone!!
jeremysgirl- I'm so glad your scheduling/ day off worked out. What state do you live in that you can claim unemployment for a partial layoff? I'm not experienced with unemployment, but it's a lifesaver right now, since I'm unemployed. But wish I'd find a job soon. I'd much rather be working.

DH is still at the ranch. So no dinner plans here, probably baked sweet potato again with some black beans.

I'm feeling a little off kilter today, I had planned to go to the ranch this week with DH, but he left on Wednesday after they had a lot of rain and he wanted to check cattle. It's a good thing he did, he had a heifer calving and she had some problems. All worked out and the calf is fine. I thought about driving down today, but he's invited friends to join him for the weekend,so it's likely to be a guys drinking weekend, so I'll stay home and sew, etc. But I feel a little guilty not going to the ranch with him. Soon it will be so hot that I won't want to go with him.

Have a great Friday!

I couldn’t sleep last night because I have terrible heartburn. It won’t go away. I currently have mylanta chilling in the freezer. Hopefully that does the trick because gum, Prilosec and Pepcid haven’t worked.

So dinner is up in the air.

I think we will have rechauffe everything. It’s not very interesting but easy!

I'm waiting for a virtual meeting to start   

My meeting with the lawyer yesterday went well ... she is going to draw up the separation agreement  ... expensive but worth every penny   

I have a friend coming over tonight and we are ordering pizza so that will be dinner    

I found a pinterest recipe for grilled chicken asparagus pesto pasta. I have fresh asparagus from my mother. I also bought some michelob ultra infusion beer with lime and prickly pear cactus. Should pair well. 😉😂

Dinner will be loaded fries and a mango jicama slaw tonight.

We have reached the stage of quarantine when DS(21) and the pup decided to join me for a curbside pick-up at Kohl's. Anything to get out of the house and go somewhere. 

We were also entertained by the Thunderbird fly over earlier. The first photo is them approaching and the second shows most of them passing just to the east of us. A couple of the planes split off and flew right over our house but I didn't get a good photo.

Quick poll for fun:

Are you a picky eater yes or no?

What won’t you eat?

What is weird that you eat?

Go!
