akathy's What's for dinner? 10/16 (oops)

You must be having a great getaway scrapmaven - you seem to have lost a few days

I am off to exercise class.. got my new iphone going last night.. now I have to resign into all the apps and that is driving me nuts. tonight, I will get dh's help on my new applecard.

I did need his help last night on the phone. next week, I will get my kid switched over to my phone and her phone is going to new zealand for her sister to use... it is. hard to send a phone through the mail overseas.

raining and thick fog this morning. I have no idea for dinner other than salad. I would do take out but being gone all weekend.. I feel like I should make something at home today. I also need to make cookies to take to my sister this weekend.

maybe chicken curry tonight.
I'm trying to decide on what to wear to my high school reunion. it is going to be cold and rainy in seattle.. so it is a war between a look and being warm!!
no one really cares anyway.. 50th reunion. I know at least one famous member of the class is coming.. I wish a couple other famous people would come.. cause I knew them in school but we will see. I mostly hang out with the grade school group!! my class was 650 people. one guy is biking from boston (he bikes across america every summer) and it looks like he will arrive on time..

Have a great getaway scrapmaven!!

Happy birthday Tearisci!

sueg today is the the day for the vegetarian freezer prep video. It will easy enough for me. It's at 12:00pm my time. I am CST zone. As I type it is 11:01am. I'm looking forward to watching her put them together and then get the recipes and all. I'll then be able to figure out what I want to try.

stormsts whew, I am so sorry. There's not a memory/mental thing going on is there? That's seems to be a lot of switching back and forth and what have you. Hopefully, it straightens itself out.

ntsf yay for a new phone! Your chicken curry sounds yummy. Good luck on picking out something wonderful for the reunion!

Wow!! Can I just say my dinner last night was fabulous! Sweet potato/black bean tacos with an avocado crema was just out of the park goodness. I am having the same stuff but in a lavash wrap today. It will most likely be a late lunch. Tonight is choir and I don't go home in between times. So with that, I don't have dinner plans tonight.

Happy Wednesday!
I have a beef roast, potatoes and carrots slow roasting for dinner.

Tearisci - happy birthday!
naby64 - let me know how you like the vegetarian recipes. It’s been a crazy here since the weekend so I forgot to sign up for it.

Today has been busy, but fun. It is DH’s birthday, but he’s been in The Netherlands and not home until later this evening - too late for a nice dinner together. I went to the supermarket this morning and just before I got to the checkout, DS called so the girls could say Happy Birthday to their FarFar. I am sure everyone near me enjoyed their rendition of Happy Birthday! After I came home, I baked cookies. Tradition here is to bring cake or something to work on your birthday, so DH will take them into the office tomorrow. There are about 120 of them, if I counted correctly! I’ve also had a bit of knitting time.
I also chatted with my friend. After all the meetings and court hearings, her daughter’s advisor has written a report saying she recommends No Contact between the guild and her father, though says he can write to her. She also wrote some things about both my friend and her ex that friend took negatively at first, but I think now realises we’re possibly not meant that way. Yes, she has issues with the past, but anyone who was abused by her father and husband would. And yes, she gets emotional, but she’s trying to protect her child from abuse and gets emotional when her child’s safety is at stake.

Dinner tonight for me was Cevapcici in pita bread with salad. I meant to buy hummus at the store but forgot it unfortunately . DH will have the last of the Indian takeout when he gets home.

Happy Birthday Tearisci ! And happy birthday to your DH sueg !

stormsts big hugs.

It was raining this morning but I went to AquaFit anyway. Two weeks ago today there were 47 in the pool. Today there were 17! But we had a great workout and half of us got in the hot tub afterwards.

Dinner will be Sloppy Joe's.

My 4-day crop is a week from tomorrow and I am so where near ready so I need to speed it up.

Happy birthday to Tearisci and to your DH sueg

I've been reading but usually too late to really comment. I'm sitting at the vet waiting for my pup as he gets his allergy shot and nails done. It's been a very busy morning. Loving the cool weather.

Tonight is tostadas.

sueg I watched and some of the meals looks very good. There were a couple at the end, that I felt like should not have even been included. One was for Garlic chili ramen. All she did was put all the sauce in a bag. To freeze. The other thing was premade Date Nut energy balls. No. To both of those. I can put the sauce together while the ramen cooks. I just make a bag of the balls but I am not considering that a pre-made meal. I am waiting on my email from the class that will include the actual recipes and labels. This class will most likely be on her website soon. As of this typing, it is not up yet. I went to her website and there is a vegetarian class. I did register for that. There were several options for today, so at 5pm I'll do that one. The thing about her classes, the free ones, you will have several dates with multiple times listed. You just choose what works best for you. Once I get the email for this newest one, if you are interested, I can send it to you. The email will have the recipes and most likely a link to the YT video that you can watch at your leisure. Just let me know. I plan on sending it to my kids and let them make changes to any that would suit them better.

Is it worth waiting to take with you to NZ, or is the trip too far out or you don't want to deal with "importing" the phone in person? All questions none of my business of course, just being snoopy. 

Sending birthday wishes to Tearisci and mr.sueg!

I'm glad you were able to give your friend a different perspective on the report, sueg. Emotion is to be expected in these cases and recommending no contact is a big win. I hope the court approves it.

stormsts, sadly this kind of half remembering things right is very much what we saw in the early dementia stages with my mom. 

My schedule is weirdly empty with no yoga for a couple weeks. I will do some things at home, but can't bend my head and elevate the heart rate too much until the eye is healed. Everything looks great (literally  ) and I can drive, so it is just slightly annoying to have restrictions.

I have a happy hour zoom so dinner will be a fend for yourself night. 

Happy Birthday to Tearisci and to MR sueg🥳🥳🥳🥳

I am just back from my walk....it is a bit nippy out there...was the coldest morning this am, and my heat kicked on...I set the thermostat on 60 degrees the other day, Glad I did!!

Dinner is everything that is leftover that is in the fridge...there are chicken thighs, white chicken chili, eggroll in a bowl and tons of roasted veggies....I can't stand having all that clutter in the fridge...anything left may end up in the compost bin.

to send a phone to new zealand, you basically have to lie.. you can't send the phone with batteries through the usual ways. technology is super expensive along with everything else there.. so we buy stuff here and take it there. I am going there at the end of Nov.

I got a iphone 16 pro.. not max. I don't want one that big. so I have to go through all the apps and re-sign in or reset passwords, etc.

I went to a big comprehensive high school-- famous: Al from Home Improvement tv show (Richard Karn.. real name Rick wilson). we were in grade school together. David Guterson.. wrote Snow falling on Cedars. I really like his latest book "The Final Case". Lynda Barry.. she is a cartoonist.. had a regular gig in a national magazine, is now a professor in Wisconsin (that was pretty unexpected in high school). we were on the literary magazine together. 10% of our class became lawyers. one guy became a computer science professor, one of my friends was a philosophy professor..and one of my grade school through high school classmates.. we were told as kids that he was a tibetan prince. I knew about tibet and nepal cause my dad was in to climbing and knew the guys who went to Everest and K2... and it turns out my classmate is a Tibetan prince, lives in India and is a spiritual leader in his culture. always a nice guy.

so will report on my fun.

We will celebrate a little late on Saturday evening, at one of our favourite restaurants - Spice Bazaar. I have mentioned it before - it's the one where we had the delicious Berbere chicken last time we visited.
