AKathy's "What's For Dinner?" 8/18

sueg safe travels.

Nice cool day here today. Not sure what’s for dinner just yet. Having some incision pain over the last couple days. It’s better but annoying. LOL

I hope your pain goes away christine58.

I'm busy, busy at work. Are you tired of me saying that yet? Lol! No but seriously I think it has been really good for me to be so busy. I'm working hard and it feels good to accomplish things. So I'll take it.

I'm going to try to talk Jeremy into Chinese food tonight. It just sounds good to me.

Tonight is honey mustard chicken, green beans, roasted baby potatoes, and garden salad.

Dd has a procedure tomorrow so I'd appreciate any good thoughts/prayers for a smooth day, pain free day.

Oh and I can now add strawberries, wheat, cocoa bean to my allergy list. Eggs and milk came back with no welt but lots of redness so blood work has been ordered.

leannec be gentle with yourself. Just as it takes kids a few weeks to acclimate back to school, it takes teachers time too. Rest when you can! ❤️

Just came home from a major grocery shop.  I am buying in advance of feeding the young adults on Sunday, as there are some really good sales and I have a BIG freezer.

I was going to can my own tomatoes but when I can get a large can of tomato sauce with all the garlic & herbs (Hunts brand) for $1.00, it isn't cheaper to can my own.

Chicken legs for $1.99/lb and PC lasagna/mac & cheese for 5.99.  So glad that I have storage space.

I picked up a cesear salad for lunch and probably going out for dinner.

Hi Everyone,

cadoodlebug Thank you so much for starting the thread. Chinese chicken salad sounds good. Your meme cracks me up.

scrapmaven I hope that your appointment goes well today.

sueg Safe travels. 

christine58 That feeling I think is the incision healing on the inside. I know that it can be annoying.

sabrinae cabbage roll casserole sounds really good.

jeremysgirl I am so glad that you are so busy at work. I hope you really like your new position.

paget Your dinner sounds delicious. That’s a family favorite meal. (Not lucyg though. ) 

leannec I hope that you get an offer soon. 

**GypsyGirl** The technology stuff is always changing; so it’s hard to keep up with it. 

quiltz You really got some great deals at the grocery store. The kids are so lucky to have you to cook for them. 

ntsf I love oatmeal cookies. I seem to make a lot of something chicken. 


Today I am having ODS and DH hang some pictures in the master bedroom.

I also want to hang new curtains; but I am missing a finial end cap. When I looked at new finials on Amazon; they cost almost the same as new curtain rods. I also looked online at other stores and it was the same. I can’t justify the cost. Any ideas? 

I have Bible study tonight, so I am having dinner out. So for the boys, it’s fend for yourself. 

I hope all of you have a peaceful day. 

On another conference call. Some days I feel like that is all I do.

Dinner will be hamburgers on the grill. Sides are undecided. Depends on if I make it to the grocery store or not.

Planning on going to a local park after dinner and walking. I've been trying to switch up where I walk. I get bored just walking along our county road.

Good morning friends.

Tonight I am actually going to have to cook something because dh is coming home!! It's either going to be burgers or Mississippi chicken. we will see.

Yesterday I got a flat tire and thankfully my oldest son came to his mama's rescue. I know how to change a tire in theory but have never actually done it.

Kaitlyn is still in the process of moving her stuff to her new place. In the meantime the entire upstairs of my house looks like it's been ransacked!!! I guess it has to get worse before it can get better.


ntsf I grew up in the Bay Area and in the winter we would get fog. I loved walking to school in the fog (even though my 80's hot curlered hair did not) Now that I live in Alaska we don't get fog all that often but when we do I absolutely LOVE it!! 

Gypsy, I feel ya on the technology frustration! Now when I ask for instructions on how to do something I just whip out my phone and video record them, that way I can always look it up if I forget. 

Hope everyone is well <3 

Last night I made Fettucine Alfredo (jarred sauce doctored up) with chicken breasts.  

I got a new Vitamix so I've been so busy making smoothies and playing with it that too.  

Tonight's dinner is Trader Joe's stuff. I bought some tamales (I already scanned on my WW app so I know how to work in the points lol) and their new Salsa de Cacahuate (hot sauce with peanuts. Sounds weird but I love the stuff that's home made so I'm gonna try out TJ's version). And probably a small lettuce/tomato/cuke/roasted corn salad on the side. Kinda carby but that's what sounds good to me right now.

true. I know exactly what it did it. The dog pulled me and it’s better today but we’ll see what tomorrow brings I can always message the surgeons office. The incisions are all healing this one is just terribly sore. 

Just checking in from Dubai airport. I had an early start this morning to get to Frankfurt for my flight and am very tired now, but need to stay awake at least two more hours until my next flight takes off.
Dinner was a quite nice chicken in mushroom cream sauce, served over pasta with a chocolate brownie with salt caramel sauce for dessert. I am now enjoying a preflight limoncello spritzer in a bar near my gate while I wait.

Yummmmmm

I stopped to pick up a bag of frozen ravioli that we’re having with sauce ds made and we froze. There will be delicious bread to go with it. 

I quoted before going through the whole thread, but I bet you are correct about the pup pulling you pulled on something still healing. I can't remember how far post-op you are, but know my doctor told me no sit-ups up four weeks. It's been almost three years and I still haven't done a sit-up just in case. 

TBD?! It's always green beans with meatloaf and mashed potatoes! Maybe DS will let me get away with Brussel sprouts, but he won't be happy. 

 I blew a tire in paget 's neck of the woods 23 years ago (with a toddler and infant along for the ride), had no choice but to change it and will be forever thankful that a very kind man stopped to help with the lug nuts. There was no way I would have loosened them and I was doing the full weight jump on the wrench. Glad your DS was able to rescue you, The Birdhouse Lady .

Is this a fresh deli thing or with the jarred salsas? My peanut loving, hot sauce loving DH could be very interested.

I stopped for tarragon after my walk this morning and the store was roasting fresh Hatch chiles!! So I came home with a bunch of fresh chiles along with sushi and ahi poke. The sushi/poke completely distracted me from my planned meal and I'm rethinking the next couple days because of the fresh chiles.
