aKathy's What's for Dinner 10/31

scrapmaven , I hope you get answers today and get everything sorted out.

We actually had rain last night! Not sure how much but any is welcomed.

I'm making Tomatillo Pork for dinner.

These photos are from a house up the street. It looks creepier at night but you get the idea. The garage is especially creepy and as is the woman in the swing.

Happy Thursday! Just finished breakfast and now I’m off to photograph quilts and shop some more. Dinner will be at one of the restaurants here.

scrapmaven - we found a very nice place that will take him. Just waiting on the insurance approval which is in the works. Not sure if that will come through today or tomorrow. It’s been a relief for sure.

Happy Halloween! I love Halloween. When the kids were small, we would always do group costumes. I still do a small bit of decorating but sadly, our neighborhood has gone mostly retired and elderly so there are no trick or treaters. I will have the little dead mum plant lit up with string lights and my Harry Potter lights on but I doubt we will have any ToTers. I do have a bag of candy here at the office and will take it home just in case.

scrapmaven I hope your appt turns out the way you want it to. It is time for some answers.

cadoodlebug, I wish we had more scary places around here to go see. I would treat them as a Christmas light tour but look for the spooky ones. Or just decorated and lit up. There is a house behind ODS's home. They have ALL the blow-ups in their yard. It just makes me smile when I drive past it.

sueg that shakshuka sounds wonderful!! I might need you to share that recipe! Enjoy your ToTers.

ntsf I LOVE chicken spaghetti but no one else in the family does. I only get it at potlucks or funeral lunches that we do for families here at church.

It is my favorite day of the year. Sonic has 50 cent corn dogs today. It is a long standing tradition, that is what we have for Halloween dinner. Don't judge me.

Oh and we have finally gotten rain this morning. Horrible hard rain. DH had to drive through it to a doctor's appt. He said it was the hardest of 2 or 3 times that he has been driving. Hopefully some answers today with his issues he's been having.

This is bullshit. I can't believe you are still dealing with this. I hope the neurologist has some ideas for you.



I'm alright. I slept really poorly last night. I had all sorts of wild dreams I can't remember. But I do remember moving all night long.



Jeremy picked up the candy on one of his deliveries today. So I'm guessing it is KitKat's and Reese's Peanut Butter cups. His favorites, of course.



This is good news.



OK, you say this a lot and I've got to ask. Is this chicken in a white sauce (scampi or alfredo?) or is this chicken in a marinara sauce? Or is it chicken breast with a side of spaghetti? Or is it like chicken parmesan? I just can't do chicken with red sauce at all. It's like the two flavors don't go together in my mind. But I guess I can't wrap my brain around what chicken spaghetti is. LOL!

Chloe is coming over tonight because she wants to help me hand out candy. I'll make those corn and pinto bean flautas before trick or treat. I told her to get here early (she won't) if she'd like to eat (she will). I know her and she is late for everything. I can't imagine where she gets that. Hahahaha...she's used to having to reheat her dinner.

I'm dragging my feet on things at work today. My brain just isn't quite back in the game. I should just stop procrastinating, do what I need to do, and sit and read my book about witches.

scrapmaven Thank you! She puts up with a lot of my nonsense.

Ughhh. Got my re-check results back, and they went in the direction they were not supposed to. Waiting on the culture results, and we'll see if I either need an antibiotic or a referral to someone else. >< (On the plus side, I think that the nasal spray I got from my new ENT is helping. My ears don't hurt near as often as they had been. Small victories!)

Even British candy is different to most German candy. Chocolate tends to be more block chocolate, rather than bars, and the local candy bars we do have, have much different fillings.

I'm really not much of a Halloween person. The grandkids will come over for bags I made up for them. I am leaving the light on this year because neighbors that moved in this summer have little kids. There re only 14 houses back our lane and they are the only ones with little ones.

Getting ready to head out and run some errands. Going to try and vote if time allows. It is raining lightly. Not enough to make any difference, just settle the dust.

I've been in a real funk the past couple of days. Not really sure why. Actually, I think it is the upcoming election. Just want it to be over with.

Not sure what is for dinner.

Oh nuts. I was up before 4:30 this morning. So if you were up until 2, yeah we overlapped a bit. I hope you got some sleep.

Just getting started here

I've had a terrible week and am wondering how much is election stress - I've really tried to ignore it but it's pretty much impossible and I'd really love to know how @leanc deals with insomnia as it's just kicking my ass!
