AKathy's "What's For Dinner?" 09/08

Happy Football Sunday!

I'm so excited to cheer on my Seahawks this afternoon. I splurge every year for NFL Sunday Ticket so I can get out of market games so I can watch my Hawks and keep up with my fantasy team. My dad and I used to go to watch parties but as the game went on, people would get drunker and drunker and be pretty abusive verbally. It got old so I decided we'd watch at home.

Tonight we're having Slow Cooker French Dips and German Potato Salad. I'm heading out to brunch with the familyand then I'll probably come home and take a nap before the game.

Hope you all have a great day!

Camping is nice. I was up until 10:30 last night!!! And I slept in until 8. Crazy for me. But it's vacation.

I had a slow morning. Drinking coffee in my rocking camp chair. Then Jeremy came out and cooked us some breakfast burritos. We are having foil pack dinners. Kielbasa with potatoes, onions, and green peppers. Although I'll be honest with you, I ate chili last night and then breakfast this morning and my gut is not reacting to food right. I cannot tell if it is because of the Prednisone or the animal products. I'll be going back to my plant based diet when we get home.

I just got this new cookbook and I've been reading it. I preordered it months ago. I did rainbow plant life for 3 month and I loved her meal plan recipes. It is more than a collection of recipes it is like a huge vegan cooking lesson. It is fabulous so far.

We are on a mission right now to fill propane tanks. We thought we had more than we did. We will get some ice too.

It is going to rain this afternoon right during the nascar race so Jeremy has an excuse to watch TV during it. I'll just be hanging out. Yarn crafts. Reading. Chilling.

I don't know if I told you but his mom, and his two sets of aunts and uncles are coming up tomorrow to camp with us for three days. They'll be leaving Thursday morning. I hate that his mom has to sleep in our camper. It's too small for a third person. But we will enjoy the company.

Have a great day!

Good morning! We walked but it was too hot and my leg started bothering me. I'm rethinking dinner plans to something that doesn't use the oven. Maybe Sloppy Joe's. I'll head to the grocery store in a bit.

I hope everyone has a relaxing Sunday.

I've decided that my Sunday memes will be messages that I find inspiring.

Normal Sunday here. A quick chat with our boys to sort out dates for our trip back to Oz at Christmas - it is looking like I’ll head out on Dec 12th, to be home for DS2’s birthday in the 14th and DH will come a week later to be there for Christmas, then we’ll fly back together on Jan 6th. Then church - DH and our main community organiser came up with a plan to help our dear old priest who is becoming forgetful. There are 3 guys in the community - DH is one - who used to be altar helpers when they were younger. Each week when Fr. G is saying Mass, one of them will be his assistant. We tried it today and it seemed to go well, without him feeling offended.
After lunch I did more vacation planning - I booked a walk tour in Venice for our first morning and a boat tour to Murano and Burano for the following afternoon. I also emailed my surgeon as I received a phone call from the hospital on Thursday telling me I needed to book a PET scan, but when I tried to do so, I didn’t have the proper referral and I didn’t get an answer when I tried calling the number that had called me, so I’m not sure how to proceed. Hopefully he’ll answer tomorrow or Tuesday and I can get it sorted.

Dinner tonight is grilled steak and Mediterranean vegetable. Our weather has just changed during the course of today - from warm summer to almost fall-like, so our summer grill season may be coming to an end.

Good morning, my lovelies.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful wishes yesterday. I appreciate you all so much.

I finished the major stuff on my phone and computer, yesterday. So, today I'm just doing stuff as I think about it. DH thinks it was malware on my phone. So, today I vow to enjoy the day. I am going to look for a new video game and download it. It's my gift to myself. I will open my new Lego, too. Then it's beddy-bye time, because tmw is a school day. HAHA! I sound like a kid. My inner child is strong. Anyway, I won't build the Lego today, but I want to see what I'm getting into. @teddy, I'll let you know what I find.

Dh is going to be watching football. I'll watch tmw night's game w/him, cause that's the one I care about.

Dinner is tacos, per dh's request. I need to make bruschetta, because we have so many tomatoes. I'll do that tmw and make something to go w/it.

Tearisci , I remember when you were diagnosed and that whole hellish story. I wanted to reach through the screen and punch your Ex-hole. Now you are thriving, having fun and eating delicious dinners. You have a long, happy life in front of you.

cadoodlebug , your meme is truly good. I meant to thank you for hosting the thread last week. I apologize. You are a brilliant thread host in my absence. You can join leannec and I at our secret club. LOL.

jeremysgirl , Pred is nasty stuff, but it does the job. Your taste might be off and it upsets the stomach for many people. That sucks when you're on vacation. Nevertheless, have a great time and enjoy the fun.

WhenI went downstairs this morning, I realized the heat had kicked on😱😱😱😱 OMG, it was chilly this morning , however every window was open ....I fixed that right quick, with the thermostat...not ready to close windows yet!!!

I am back to work tonight after being off since 8/21...not quite sure I am ready to go back😊
I am missing my Grace every day....we had a routine....so there is a hole...

Dinner will be pizza, as is the norm for sunday nights that I work. I'll be napping and DH will pick it up and eat when he is ready, I'll eat when I get up or take some for a midnight snack!

DH and I went for a 20 km bike ride along the waterfront in the city this morning. Although yesterday felt like winter, it has warmed up a bit today. I wore a long sleeve shirt, hoodie and a wind breaker and I was very comfortable during the bike ride. We wanted to stop at our favourite fry truck for lunch but there was about 100 motorcycles/ riders in the parking lot so we opted for Dairy Queen. I love motorcycles but didn’t want to wait for 100 food orders before we could eat.

Yesterday I printed off our cruise boarding passes and luggage tags. This is really happening!

Not sure about supper yet.



Tearisci: Yahoo to you!!

ok, back from GS camp. the cook was a summer camp cook.. I thought it was ok.. but not really an "adult menu" and the options for vegetarians were lame at best.

with what I eat now, there was nothing much to pick from for breakfast and lunch.. (had 1 piece of bacon and some berries for breakfast) but I brought my own food so I didn't starve.

I think I might go out for meals next year.. town is 10 min away

I did lots of scrapbooking. dh ordered out food when I was gone, so I don't have to worry about dinner tonight!!! yeah. dd is going to a favorite artist concert.. some japanese performer. so that is exciting. I have fun catching up with old friends and making new ones.

back to the gym this week.. and lots and lots of cleanup to do.

karenlou....More (( hugs )) as you miss your sweet Grace! 

leannec I sometimes use liquid bandage as just toweling dry can reopen scabs.

Tearisci That must feel good!

Today I'm working on our phones, updating them, backing up photos.  I'm thinking of finally buying icloud storage as it's so difficult backing up photos at least on my computer.  My next one needs airdrop as long as it converts files to jpeg and mov.

Tonight is leftover korean food from last night along with some frozen korean food.

so I had a food tragedy at my house. my daughter in law left a box of Tam Tams (australian cookie) and two chocolate bars from new zealand, right before they left on the plane. I said I would mail them to her friend in san diego this week. (no big deal). I left them in front of the tv, cause that is where they were packing the suitcases. I came home from my weekend, and dh ate the tam tams and a chocolate bar without asking, texting or whatever. so now I get to call my daughter in law and tell her I can't mail them to her friend.

I am mad at dh for not taking 1 second to send me a text. aaaggg!

This is at a small retreat about an hour outside of Houston. I did attend it last year. It's not the big quilt festival that I attend every year and post photos. That one is at the convention center in town.
