aKathy's What's for Dinner 9/29

Hi I am doing ok. Dexter is good and Dad is away. I am really tired of life right now.

I am making stew for dinner tonight and freezing half of it for Dad while I am away.

I hope everyone has a great day!

Oh scrapmaven I was hoping the pacemaker placement would have a better outcome. Thankfully your cousins are able to help out.

I’m working later today so I’m working on Luke’s table for his birthday.

Waiting to hear from my sister if her condo is intact and if her downstairs neighbors made it to safety.

Dinner is up in the air. Probably on the road.

its a I don't know what's for dinner day. we are going out on Friday for our anniversary (taking the whole family) and I will be camping on Sat--eating wonderful freeze dried food.
I am spending the morning running errands.. I now test negative!! maybe some cleaning too and laundry.

I know I should be thankful it is raining, as we have been in drought this summer, but these cold, miserable days are getting to me. At least, I am getting out to walk each day, sometimes between showers, other times I just put on my raincoat and go, so long as it's not too heavy rain.
Dinner tonight is Shakshuka - a tomato/white bean stew, served with eggs cooked on top of it. I line my baking dish with sweet potato slices, and add spinach to the tomato mix and it is so good! DH has just messaged me that he is going to be late, but everything is ready to go once I know he's on the way home.


scrapmaven - I am sorry to hear your MiL is not going so well. I hope you can find a suitable living situation for her.

teddyw and taylortroop and anyone else affected by Ian - I hope your families/friends stay safe and don't suffer to much damage.

Oh, scrapmaven, I'm a little heartbroken for you that memory care is the next stage for your MIL. It is such a difficult decision and like the first good-bye to a loved one. 

I had a happy surprise when I left the bedroom this morning. I could see through a high window in the foyer to the street where a delivery truck was unloading my fridge! It wasn't 8 yet and my delivery window was 9:30-1:30. 

I've watered all the plants to clear the water line and will wait a few hours for it to get fully cold before loading in all the things from the garage and shopping.

The plan is salmon, asparagus and zucchini for dinner.

This water dispenser is 100% the reason we picked this fridge. I love that a full sized water bottle can sit in it. 

I'm sorry to hear that your MIL is not doing well scrapmaven.   


I am on my prep and eating my lunch ... tomorrow is a "holiday" here to recognize an important day in Canada regarding our history ... too long to explain here ... anyway, I don't have to work so that makes me happy!

My mum is coming over for dinner and she wants Beef Noodle Hamburger Helper!    .  .  I'll cook some carrots as well.    


I'm in the process of getting some paperwork together to send to my mortgage broker ... this sale is the real deal!     .   

Hi Everyone,

scrapmaven Hugs to you! I am so sorry that things are not going well for your MIL. Please rest.


taylortroop I hope your brother and his family are safe.


teddyw I hope you hear from your sister soon. 


Delta Dawn Your stew sounds delicious.


jeremysgirl It’s great that you are going to meet your deadline and enjoy your weekend.


ntsf So glad that you are testing negative.


lucyg Pork and butternut squash sound so good.


sueg Your dinner sounds delicious!


bc2ca Hooray You got your fridge! 

karenlou I have been holding off buying mums and pumpkins because we usually get another heat spell in the middle of October and then everything doesn’t last until Halloween. Your dinner with the apple crisp sounds delicious.

leannec Enjoy your dinner with your mum. 


Marina I love eggplant.


I am doing the usual cleaning. I have been experiencing allergies since Tuesday night, so I am not going anywhere. I just found out that ODS is coming home not this weekend but the following weekend. It makes me happy. 


Dinner is going to be burritos and/or tacos.


I hope all of you have a peaceful day!

Big hugs to everyone who is going through things right now. While I adore fall, the change in temps here is really messing with my sinuses and giving me a raging headache. I'm off to a Homecoming parade (DD is a Senior this year) and then running home to jump on a Zoom call. After that I am hoping to fall into bed and have a nice cup of tea.

For dinner, since all of our schedules are crazy tonight, I made some Cafe Rio chicken and some rice - but they can put the chicken in taco form or make shredded sandwhiches. I also made myself a plate of raw veggies and hummus on the side.

LOL, I don't think I've seen an MEC branded/logo water bottle but will keep an eye out for future stocking stuffers.
