AKathy's "What's For Dinner?" 09/22

Happy Sunday!

AussieMeg and scrappintoee I hope you both get to celebrate in a big way!

I was gone all week to Vegas for a meeting. It was a good trip but I was so ready to be home Friday. My flight was delayed over 3 hours. I finally rolled in the house at 2:30am Saturday. Ugh...I finally unpacked this morning and have laundry going. Headed to the grocery store in a few minutes then I am not doing anything the rest of the day.

Looks like I need to go back and catch up on this past week.

It is finally raining here. It is so dry and dusty. Temps are still high. Vegas was actually cooler last week than it was at home!

Dinner will be beef tips.

Happy birthday AussieMeg and scrappintoee. Hope you both have a wonderful day. Dinner is leftover chicken soup. The Buffalo Bills don’t play till tomorrow night so today I’m going to do some more decluttering. I just emptied out my kitchen drawers. I found some things that I forgot I had.


I also made the decision that I am going to go to my nieces wedding in Mumbai India, probably 18 months from now. The flight was what was concerning me because of the length but I suck it up and go. She is getting married here a year from now and then the wedding in India will follow.

He's doing so much better!  They will start stepping down the size of his trach tube tomorrow and are thinking about removing the vent from his room!  He's been off that for 4 days now!  Discussion has started on what his next step is and which rehab facility it will be.   It won't surprise us if he is moved to rehab by the end of the week.   Fingers crossed!  This begins week #13 and we are all completely over this journey!  

Happy Sunday dinner friends.

Happy birthday ladies!! I hope you both have a fantastic day!

Yesterday was a busy and exhausting day. We were awaken at 6 am by the fire department to let us know that the hangar where our larger plane lives caught fire. Luckily the sprinklers saved the plane with minimal damage. Dh had some stuff(junk) stored in the back that has water damage,that needs to be dealt with. And the plane evaluated in depth but overall it could have been much much worse. After that I ran home and headed to GS’s game halfway there DH called to say he was locked out of the house. So I turned back. But then he found a key in his truck. So I proceeded to the baseball game. I was exhausted from all the confusion and it was 98 degrees. There was a break between his games and DH brought the pup to the 2nd game that was an evening game and much more comfortable at 92 degrees. Hehe!

Today DH is at the hangar re-assessing the damage and the plane . I’m hanging with the pup. I’d like to sew but we will see. Dinner is lasagna that I have in the freezer. Easy peasy.

Wishing everyone a great day!

Good evening all,
We are home and about collapsed on the sofa and thinking that dinner just won’t happen tonight.
After church this morning, we made our way to the Oktoberfest grounds, had a yummy lunch at our favourite tent, then wandered around for a bit before coming home. It was lovely out - warm and sunny - and the Wiesn grounds were absolutely packed. Yesterday the reported a crowd of around half a million and I think today will be the same.
I have tried to post some photos , but Tapatalk is not cooperating with me. Hopefully I can get things figured out later!

Me too! I'm pretty sure it was Bette Midler's idea. They were always thinking up crazy stuff together.

Wowww....yes, very long flight, but I hope you have a blast! Is she having the big, days-long weddings? I've seen several amaaazing Indian weddings on "90 Day Fiancee."




Hee hee---I actually make a cute, small cake for him per his request. With the rest of the batter, another cake or cupcakes and freeze. Ohhh, and of
course I had to "taste-test" some of the extra cake.


cadoodlebug----How funny!!! . And your sister was so pretty. (( hugs )) I'm so sorry you lost her---I think you said she had Alzheimers?

Yes I believe it will be a multi day, but some of it is for just her and her dad and his girlfriend. So long story why she and her brother have no contact with her mother

Your sister was friends with Bette? Cool

If you can't spend the money on business class.. at least go to india premium economy....

feeling poor as I just bought the tickets to new zealand for all three kids...

anyway.. unloaded the car, have not put stuff away yet. there is salad and salmon cakes in the fridge for dinner. thanks dh!!!

going swimming this afternoon. someone at our condo complex persuaded them to keep the pool open til the end of sept!!! it is right across the driveway from me.

 scrappintoee ! I'm so glad you are getting out with friends today. Have fun!!!

I feel like I should wish you a belated  AussieMeg as you probably won't see this until Monday morning, but know that half a world away we were thinking of you on the 22nd!!! Hoping the family spoils you with a lovely spread of interesting and exotic foods.

leannec , your meme made me LOL. I'll take modern laundry over the olden days anytime, but still reserve the right to complain and want someone to invent the automatic folding machine. 

Hope today is much smoother and relaxing, austnscrapaddict .

Today is a mix of chores and play but all at home because DH is replacing bits and pieces of my car (struts, hoses, filters, ??). If I have enough potting soil a whole bunch of indoor and outdoor plants are getting repotted today.

ETA christine58, good for you! What a fabulous reason to go to India! Netflix had a series about big, insanely over the top Indian weddings a few years ago. If it is still available, you should check it out. 

Ok you guys have to settle an argument.

If I asked you to bring me a bag of plain chips, what would you bring? Now if I asked you to bring me a bag of plain pretzels, what would you bring?

Yeah, it seems so weird now that she spent the night at our house all the time. My sister started the junior and senior class plays as the director and Bette was the lead. We always knew she would be a star. A blast from the past:
My sister is on the left, you can recognize Bette!


ntsf, you always amaze me driving 13 hours by yourself to get to Idaho!

A bag of original Lays and a bag of regular, salted pretzels.
