aKathy's What's for Dinner 7/9

Good afternoon,
Another lovely day here. I walked to the store earlier to get vegetables for dinner, before it got too hot. We had workmen in just before lunch - they were checking our drains because of all the rain we’ve had lately. I had to let them into the garden, but at least they didn’t have to come through the house.
More crochet happening today - I am nearly finished with joining all the squares for my cardigan.

Dinner tonight is a Mediterranean vegetable bake - eggplant, zucchini, peppers, red onions and tomatoes (maybe some others, depending what’s in the fridge) tossed in olive oil and herbs, then at the end I’ll crumble some feta over the top.

I was out early for my annual eye exam....not to be confused with my monthly eye injection😱😱
I did a couple of errands on my way home, prescription at CVS, mailed a couple of things and
the ALL important wine pick up, and an iced coffee from Starbucks!!!

I took sausage out to grill for dinner, will sauté peppers and onion to go with, along with the usual salad.

scrapmaven....sorry you have to endure the noise...however it will be worth it to have the new windows!!!

It is freaking hot here this week and I don't like it!     .  

Had so much trouble sleeping last night because of the heat ... wish I had A/C!

My teacher friend is coming over to help me build my new patio set ... it is in a box right now and I don't feel capable on my own so he volunteered to help me ... I'm so grateful!  Sometimes I am not as independent as I would like to be but oh well!

I have no idea what dinner will be ... it's too hot to cook!

DS and I are headed out for errands. DH is playing golf.

We will celebrate DH's birthday tonight with Tomatillo Pork, Corn-on-the-Cob and birthday cake.

I've been lucky to be pretty independent but I have my BILs who will help when I need it. Sometimes, you just need "man hands" on a job!

Oh no! I am a hot weather wimp too. But I have A/C. Although I'm terrified to see my next bill.



This was very sweet! Just very sweet!



Jeremy and I do not have a lot in common. But give us a beach and we are both happy.

so I ended up making lemon pepper chicken last night, so we will have salad and leftovers. dh's colonoscopy was fine.. a few small polyps so come back in three years. missed my exercise class but ok. took dog out in the cold foggy damp morning. under 60 degrees.

dh has his birthday tomorrow.. getting an echo cardiogram tomorrow, as am I, I have a zoom meeting in the afternoon, and we are going to the giants baseball game tomorrow night.

we woke up to the city posting signs on our sidewalks up and down the block for no parking yesterday for a week. I pointed out to the crew that they need to give us prior notice.. they agreed it should be 48 hours.. (it is really is 72 hours).. and the big machines are out digging up the street to put in curb cuts. we will lose about 6 parking spots right at our house.. and though there is lots of parking for sf, it will be a pain, cause we may not be able to park in front of our house. and the curb cuts are right next to the driveways. I am not happy but can't do much about it. we park our cars on the street.. drive way is too short, and parking in garage is difficult and I only do it when gone for a week or more. and construction noise for the next few days. `the house lots are around 25-35 ft wide.. and so there is space, driveway, space, driveway.

Hey all - no power now for hours! So frustrated when I have so much to do! Luckily we're not seeing the heat the rest of the country seems to be experiencing, so no a/c hasn't bothered me yet. Definitely picking something up tonight for dinner. Even if we get power, I'll be deep in catch up mode and everyone has busy/long days at work today so can't push it off on someone else! Stay cool all!

Do you have a guest room? I'd like to stay until September. Will bring my own electronics, two cats, but I do cook and clean up after myself.

Amd you'll go away for the weekend and come back to 852 zucchini and 20 cukes! 😂😂

Shoot I think the new Bachelorette started this week and I missed it. Haven’t seen Love Island but I hear the UK one is way better than ours.

Luke & I had music & movement this morning. 1st we went to the diner nearby for breakfast, then to Target for a pickup and the playground. He’s had enough for today I think.
Dh is golfing tonight so I’ll possibly have a shrimp pasta.

jeremysgirl I love the beach. Unfortunately dh is allergic to something there. He breaks out in hives every time. My only hope is if the girls invite me on one of their trips. Dd1 is going to Va Beach the same time I’ll be in Italy so not this year. Dd2 can’t leave the country while her dh is in the immigration change. I thought he applied for a green card but it’s just a different visa. Dd3 can’t vacation this year. She’s broke.

leannec I don’t need a lot of AC but I need it this week.

scrapmaven you’ll be so happy when that’s done. Any project leads to mess for me.
