AKathy's "What's For Dinner?" 06/07

Today so far: Slept late, went for a walk mid-morning and only got a little bit wet. Church this afternoon and got quite wet, despite it only being 20 meters from the exit of the UBahn to the door of the church. Home now and watching the final football game of this weekend while DH puts the finishing touches on dinner.

Dinner will be Osso Bucco - it's been slow cooker since this morning and smells delicious - with spätzle. Not normal June dinner, but this is not normal June weather we're having.

I didn't post yesterday but trust me when I say that dinner was quite remarkable. And not in a good way.    It was like I had never stepped foot in a kitchen before. I didn't burn the house down and I didn't suffer any serious injuries so that makes it a win in my book. But, today is another day and the self-appointed designated household shopper went shopping so I once again have vegetables!  I will be making Korean pork chops and vegetables to serve over rice.

Morning ladies! It’s not even noon and it’s 98 degrees already!
Headed to a friends to swim all day.
When I get home this evening dinner will be tzaziki turkey burgers and a Mediterranean pasta salad.

We just got back from a 3 mile pretty strenuous walk. It's beautiful out, in the 60's. Not sure what's for dinner. Maybe Teriyaki Chicken.

Bowtie pasta, Cucumber, cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, grilled artichoke hearts, and feta. I make a vinaigrette with olive oil, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, garlic and some herbs. Done.

I just made breakfast for dh and me - waffles and bacon- so I feel like I should be done cooking for the day 😂.

Our county finally got approved for phase 1.5 - they had to make a new category so we could start moving forward because we weren’t even close to phase 2 criteria (which was pretty stringent). Anyway, since restaurants can theoretically be at limited open now we would love to eat out (it’s been 3 months). But so far we haven’t found a place that’s open besides take out so dinner is TBD!

jeremysgirl , did you say that tmw's thread should be devoted to pasta salad? Well, that works for me. Gee, gang, I wonder what I'll be yakking about in tmw's thread.

PolarGreen12 , MARCO...I envy you. A swimming pool sounds like heaven. At my PT facility when you're in the hot therapy pool the put this rubber stuff around you that makes you float on your back and then a pt aide gives you a full neck and shoulder massage while pushing you around the pool. Sigh. A girl can dream...

lucyg , I'm transitioning from self-pity to gotta-make-the-best-of-it. I'm OK. Thank you for asking.

bc2ca , I hope that you're enjoying a much nicer day, today.

cadoodlebug , Everytime I go to an appointment dh and joke about slipping down the razor blade of life. That meme was great.

Oh, I'm making ham casserole. I could bake cookies. Folks here are grumpy today and I think they need a chocolatey goodness pick-me-up.
Other than that, I'm going to devote my afternoon to trying to almost finish my latest puzzle. This am we started half watching a movie while channel surfing and ended up watching the entire movie, Casino Royal from 2006.

Enjoy the rest of your day, my lovely, wonderful tribe.

Well last night we ended up with Domino's pizza as the restaurant we wanted to order from was super busy and stopped taking dinner orders by 5:30. Good for them and we will try again in a couple of weeks.

Tonight we are having steak, baked potatoes, garlic wine mushrooms with apple crisp for dessert. I also made some peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. That and fussing around in my craft room is all I have done today.

I am having a much better day. 

I walked 8.5 miles and then called a much needed family meeting. 

We have a plan for a couple pressing items and I feel much less frustrated. DH has been taking care of dinner on Sundays (mostly) and when I arrived back from my walk both he & DS were working in the front and greeted me with "we're getting shrimp for dinner". They are definitely trying to get back in my good books because I'm the shrimp lover and his dinners usually revolve around big hunks of beef or lamb.

After a shower I'm going to hit a couple more nurseries in my quest for purple heart and slipper plants.

The girls came over to celebrate HD’s birthday a few days early.
We grilled beef burgers, salmon burgers, chicken & brats. Also made fruit salad, baked beans, pasta salad and cucumber salad.
Dd made rhubarb custard pie and I picked up mini Bundt cakes.
Too much food.

Hope today is better @bc2ac. That walk was pretty long.

bc2ca, I'm so glad to hear that your day was much better and that your dh and ds sucked up enough to get back into your good graces.
