aKathy's What's for Dinner 2/1

well.. dinner tonight will be repeat.. salad, a very small slice of toast and a salmon cake. it is mixed rain and snow outside. but I am getting brave and going to the big mountain..should be better 3000 ft higher.. but cloudy.. or foggy.. we will see how the skiing actually is. testing out my ski coat in foul weather.

poor dh.. his sister sent a group text message to his aunt, a friend and him that she is holding her tongue dealing with my dh.. he confronted her on it and she brushed it off but he is not anxious to deal with her on anything. they do not have a close relationship.. he only has 6 more days at. his mom's.

Happy February 1st! The weather is going to be really nice again in DFW in the low 70s. A nice change from a chilly January.

I think I'm going to take my parents out for dinner tonight. I'm picking up a grocery order today but really don't feel like cooking so if they don't want to go out, I'll order something in.

Hope you all have a great day and start of the month!

Good evening all
I had a quieter day today. Me cleaner came this morning and so I worked on a few things in my craft room out of his way. After lunch I walked down to the grocery store to get something for dinner. I had planned something for myself, but DH messaged yesterday to say he had moved his flight home from one arriving at 9pm tonight to one coming in mid afternoon, so he’d be home for dinner.
Some good news today from my dad - my step mum has responded well to the second antibiotic they gave her and is well enough to come home from hospital on the weekend. She’ll still be on oral antibiotics for a bit and will need to continue physiotherapy, but it will be great for her to be home after more than a month cooped up in hospital or rehab.
Dinner is going to be pasta alla Norma - a Sicilian dopier with eggplants, tomatoes and a hint of chilli. I have the eggplants roasting in the oven and will do the rest later.

jeremysgirl - I think you did the right thing calling the police. That guy sounds real shady to me. Better safe than sorry.

Welcome back! But I am worried that you are freaked out. Did the police stop by?

The police sent a patrol car to my neighborhood but I didn't see them because I'm in working. They haven't called or anything to follow up.

He wasn't in the yards of either of my neighbors with cameras. So no one got a pic. I should have thought to take one.

I’m not feeling great today. I woke up with a sore throat, headache and stuffy nose. I’m hoping it’s just a cold and won’t stay too long.

Grandboy #1 is supposed to come for a sleepover tomorrow because it’s a PD Day and typically DH and him spend the day together. He will spend the night as well. I’ll let DS know that I’m not feeling well but it probably won’t affect the visit.

YDS has dropped by so DH can help him get his dirt bike in working order so he can sell it.

Walker is mending well. Still wearing the cone when outside and we put a sock on his leg where the IV was to stop him from licking it. It’s shaved and I think it feels different for him so he pays it a lot of attention.

cadoodlebug: I’m watching The Floor and enjoying playing along with the contestants. I’m pretty much of an expert on all categories from the comfort of my couch!!

Supper will be sausages on a bun for DH and hotdogs for me.

Hi all, just a quick hello between classes!

Doing okay here...the sun is finally shining. I just want to nap in the sun like my fat cat is here!

Last night we ended up hitting a craft store for some valentines' retail therapy, then we got the text that our wedding ri gs were ready for pick up. We had sent them out for cleaning. I'm always amazed at how sparkly they look when we get them back. I've had latex paint in mine since summer when we were painting the camper, but no more! We went to our favorite Thai place for dinner, yum! So tonight I think we'll have tacos, or air fryer split chicken breasts, depending on how late my class goes and how hungry Nick is by then.

Hoping you are feeling safer, jeremysgirl! Are you subbing in the same school system, leannec?

Take care, everyone!

Yes ... but I will be able to choose what schools I go to ... I will stay close to home ... which is on the other side of the city from the school I was in so I will NEVER be there!!!!   

That’s great. I wouldn’t want to step foot in that other school either. 

Hi Everyone,


scrapmaven Your day sounds busy. Dinner sounds good. Your chips sound great. 

cadoodlebug Your meme is so funny. Your dinner sounds great. I hope you get a lot of your taxes done. What station and time is “The Floor” on? 

ntsf The weather there seems to be yucky. Wow! How passive aggressive of your SIL. I hope your DH can get things wrapped up with his sister. Is she going to let him buy the house? 

jeremysgirl It’s so good to have you back. I would also be frightened if a guy was in my backyard and in my driveway. 

Tearisci I hope you enjoy your dinner with your parents. 

sueg That’s wonderful news about your StepMum. I hope she continues to heal. I hope your DH makes it home without any glitches.

bklyngal62 I am sorry that you may have to get the floor in your bathroom fixed. Have a great time crafting and watching movies.

leannec   for heat.  It’s great that your Mum loves to people watch.

teddyw I hope whoever ends up at the cooking class with you, loves the food. 

taylortroop Hope you feel better soon.

tmarschall Last night sounds like a great night and glad the sun is shining today.

christine58 Hey Girlie, what are you up to?

kellyr21 Nice to see you posting.

scrappintoee I am glad that you are looking forward to dinner. 

AussieMeg Your dinner looks delicious. I have missed seeing your pictures. 

Last night the dog did not get up once to go out. So DH and I slept all night until about 9:45 this morning. I felt so great when I woke up on my own. Today, I had my prayer group. We stayed long because we were catching up with updates. Then I came home and DH made sausages for dinner. They were great.

I hope all of you have a peaceful rest of the day.

aussiemeg.. I had barramundi in brisbane and it came out the same with the head and all!!
waiter asked me about whether I would be bothered by it.

I think dh's sister is mostly selfish and not thinking things through is common. she really has held herself away from the family over the years. never mind we paid for her schooling as a labtech, and her mom gave her the family ski cabin worth.. $2-250,000 and didn't make an adjustment in the will. she spends a lot of time at the local bar with her significant other.. and is retired and not much else going on. his aunt lives in her own place.. has no kids and is pretty independent, though she is 87.

dh is in charge of the will so that is why he wants to buy her out fast and deal with anything else later. everyday we thank god that our kids get along very well..
