aKathy's What's for Dinner 8/5

Thoughts and prayers going out to lucyg, sueg and bc2ca.

I am feeling slightly better. I am going to put in a partial day at work. Monday's are always crazy and today is payday. My employees like to be paid on time...

Thanks for the nice anniversary wishes. 40 years is a heck of a long time. DH told me last night he wished for another 40. I told him not me, I don't want to live to be 100!

Today is supposed to hit 90 with the heat index close to 100. Glad I am going to be inside.

Dinner is going to be sloppy joe's.

I send my most healing wishes and prayers to lucyg, sueg, and bc2ca.

I am having bit of a rough day. I felt a manic episode coming on right before bed last night. So I decided I would take my rescue med. By 9:00 I was asleep and I didn't wake up until around 8:15 this morning. I feel almost like I have a hangover. My brain just isn't working at all today. I have a meeting this afternoon that may be cancelled because I did all the work last week. I'm not sure we even need the meeting now. I hope it's cancelled because I need to get my butt offline.

I'm having zucchini and tomato pasta tonight. I have both coming out of my garden like mad right now.

I'm off to the chiropractor. I'm hoping to change the time of future appointments because it is interfering with my AquaFit class! DH and I will go swimming tonight to make up for my missing this morning. There is no class but I can do all the things I remember from class ~without the music of course!

Good thoughts and big hugs to lucyg , bc2ca and sueg !

Dinner will be what I decide when I hit Raley's after my chiro appointment.

Sending good thoughts and prayers lucyg, sueg and bc2ca.

I'm dragging this morning so I laid down for a few minutes and ended up falling asleep! Luckily it's not busy at work but my sister woke me up by calling about our mom. Her O2 rate has been really low and she's confused so my sister is taking her in to see the dr. She wears O2 at night but refuses to wear it during the day. I hope the doctor is going to tell her she has no choice and needs to be on it 24/7. My mom is very vain and resistant to it so please send good thoughts that it will now be the drs orders.

Tonight, I'm having steak and mac and cheese.

Good evening all and thank you for all the good wishes.
I have stayed home all day and done a few things that I needed to get done - final check on meds and documents, laundry etc. All I need to do now is actually pack, once my laundry is dry.
DS1 called this morning (their evening) so that Sophia could wish me luck. I think she’s a bit concerned, which I understand with her other grandma dying so recently. Lucia wasn’t having any of it today - she said hello, then off to the kitchen where mum was.

Dinner tonight is simple - baked potatoes with ratatouille. I made the ratatouille early, so the flavours can develop. I used some of our homegrown tomatoes and basil as well.

Happy Monday Dinner friends!

Sending best wishes to sueg,lucyg and bc2ca I hope each of you can feel the love we are all sending your way.

leannec please don't leave and please don't stop posting your pics. I frequently fly by posts and forget to like, I need to be better about that, but each and every post makes me smile as if I've received a note from each of you. This is an awesome group of ladies.

I had a nice weekend filled with some sewing time and a couple of naps, I went to a movie with my son, DIL and Her mom. We saw Twister, it was good, but not great!

DH is coming home from the ranch today, it's been a full week, and while I enjoy the time to myself and get a lot accomplished both weork and house-wise, I'm ready for him and the puppy to come home. I'm also picking my grandson up in a little while and will have him until tomorrow afternoon, He will keep the puppy busy, or will it be the other way around?? :-) We are going to go to the local city park this evening to take a walk and see if we can gather some abandoned tennis balls for he puppy, we've depleted our supply and there are always several just laying around there.

I put a large package of chicken breasts in the crock pot yesterday and refroze them cooked so they are ready for recipes, I kept enough out for dinner this evening, I'll give GS the choice of chicken pot pie or Chicken taco stew.

Wishing everyone a great day!!

I would miss my puppy too. Ok, Ok, and my DH.

I'm too addicted to this place to leave.     

I was just in a funk and felt the need to voice my funkiness ... it's water over the bridge now!

The dinner thread is like my second family ... I love it here.   

I'll be posting photos again this weekend of the "Staycation" my daughters and I will be enjoying!  Can't wait!   


No big plans today ... I already went for groceries and my cleaning lady will be here within the hour ... I'm going to throw her some extra cash because I had people here for five days so my second bathroom is probably going to take longer to clean ...

My mum is coming over for dinner again tonight because what they are serving at her place doesn not appeal to her at all ...

We will be having panko breaded, pan fried pork cutlets with applesauce,  baby red potato cubes tossed in butter and fresh dill and some fresh green beans quickly cooked in butter and garlic ... should be tasty!   


Super positive thoughts going out to sueg, lucyg and bc2ca!!!

I'm very sorry for your loss.   

Good Afternoon....Yesterday afternoon we had torrential rains, again...It was a chilly 73 degrees when I left for work at 1030 last night!!! The reprieve was so appreciated as the humidity was so thick yesterday, I feel bad for those with respiratory issues.
Not a bad night for me, the organ bank had been in for a procurement earlier in the evening. Very sad a young diabetic man who was in renal failure and had passed after his dialysis. That being said his liver will save others😢

I did the marketing on my way home from work...so that is done.
For dinner DH will grill the sausage, and I will sauté the peppers and onions and will check with DH to see whether he wants a salad or cole slaw.

The savory zucchini bread was not bad...DH loved it, so I will have KelleeM post the recipe for me for those that asked.

Love hugs and prayers for lucyg, sueg and bc2ga
cadoodlebug so sorry about your friend
stormsts...Belated Anniversary wishes...forty years is HUGE!!!🎊

lucyg , sueg and @bc2ga keeping you in my prayers.

**GypsyGirl** how is your husband doing ? I'm glad you got there was an opening at the Quilt Festival for you. It will be well deserved time for yourself.

We stopped for dinner after work. I had fried mushrooms and hubby had a burger with fries.

Well, we had a step backwards on Saturday evening.  He had another unresponsive episode caused by the CO2 levels being too high.   DD came in to visit and went into immediate action.   She had been present for the one a couple of weeks prior so knew the signs.  They ended doing a code call, although he never did lose a pulse.  Another emergency intubation and he is back in ICU, this time on the Neuro ICU floor.  Seems he aspirated something and now has pneumonia again.  So he's back in ICU until they get rid of that.  So the transfer to rehab has been pushed back for a bit.  We can see the rehab facility from his room so I told him to focus on getting better so he can move there! 

He was a bit of a pill yesterday but was in great spirits today.  Spent the afternoon with him and he is very alert (well as alert as one can be on the 'good' stuff!) and is now writing much clearer on the whiteboard.  We are up to readable complete sentences now!  It's so helpful having him be able to write down what we can't figure out with the usual game of charades.  I will be spending the afternoon tomorrow with him to celebrate our 47th anniversary.   Told him he still owes me a trip to Hawaii though!  

I'm so sorry about your DH's set back, **GypsyGirl**. Hoping the rollercoaster of ups & downs is behind you and he is extra motivated looking out at his rehab building.

**GypsyGirl** I am so sorry to hear about your husband's set back. I'm keeping both of you in my thoughts and prayers. I know it's a day early, but Happy Anniversary !
