AKathy's "What's For Dinner?" 11/09

Hey all tiptoeing back in. I did a total social media/Internet blackout last week. It was just all not working for me. Hope you're all well. Dinner tonight may be tacos, or hamburgers or - well clearly I have no plan so we'll see what jumps in the cart when I get to the grocery store.

Good evening all,
Not much happening on this side of the world today. We went grocery shopping this morning as always - with DH home we take the car, so we can stock up, especially with heavy things. Then during the week, I can just walk up for bits and pieces. This afternoon we watched football - our team won - and I have been knitting. I have finished the body of Sophia’s cardigan just now and will decide after dinner whether to pick up the stitches for the sleeves tonight or wait until tomorrow when the light will be better.

DH has cooked dinner, as he usually does on Saturdays. He has made a slow cooked beef casserole, with Mexican flavours. It smells fantastic. I think he is planning on green beans and pasta as sides.

leannec - I agree with scrapmaven that you should think about going back to the doctor if it’s at all possible. Your foot should be getting at least a bit better by now.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Wow, not many peas posing today.

I went to a fundraiser craft sale today with my bestie. I honestly don’t need anything but I enjoy looking at all the crafts. Lots of people making soap these days!

DH has an umbilical hernia which has taken a backseat over the last couple years due to his heart surgery. He’s now focused on getting it fixed but knows the dr will tell him that he needs to lose some belly fat before they will do surgery. He does intermittent fasting like I do but isn’t as committed to it as I am. He now wants to try a keto diet which is focused on low carbs which he tries to do anyways. His downfall is bread and potatoes. I will support him but I’m not into wrested in losing any more weight. I’m easily maintaining my weight loss through intermittent fasting.

Supper tonight will be grilled steak for me and grilled burgers (just the meat) for DH. There was a lone steak in the freezer with my name on it!

I was speaking at a recruiting event for our CASA program this morning so meandered my way home, stopping at a couple stores to check out their holiday decor and another to do some returns. 

I don't have anywhere else I have to be this weekend, so plan to figure out what I'm doing at our retreat next week and get that organized. I'll knit while I think about it. 

DD has lobbied hard for Thai tonight so I agreed to pay if she orders and picks it up. 

we had a light breakfast at home, then had brunch out.. then walked around paia on maui and spent money. found matching dress and hawaiian shirt, I bought a new hawaiian shirt, shopped the thrift store (too bad I'm not going to a 70's dress up--saw the perfect garish dress.. so bad). I bought a tutu there for spring skiing carnival. then several other shirts.

hanging around this afternoon reading.

we probably will walk into town again tonight and go out for middle eastern food. then we might go back into town early tomorrow and watch the 49'er game at 8 am.

A friend of DSO gave him a Stay & Dine package at a local winery for his 50th birthday (two and a half years ago!) that was due to expire in February. It cost over $600 so we definitely didn't want to let it expire. We finally got around to booking a night there, which was last night. Friends came up and met us there for afternoon drinks and dinner. The meal was nice, we had three starters, two mains, and a dessert to share. We also got a lovely breakfast this morning.

The best part though, was the view from our bedroom window this morning - we opened the shutters and were greeted with this beautiful view over the grounds, with the vineyards and then the mountains in the distance. 



Imagine waking up to that every morning!

cadoodlebug your photo is gorgeous too! I love the contrast of the flaming red leaves against the very blue sky - just stunning!

I am really sorry.

naby64 I’m sorry that’s tough to swallow.

leannec I hope you went to urgent care

AussieMeg what a nice gift. That view is beautiful. Is your mil still making dinners or have I missed those posts?

Finished day 1 of my champleve enamel workshop. I met such nice people. I had a bad attitude about it but I’m really liking it so far.
Still pissed at dh but I’ll live.
Dinner was veggie pizza.

I'm so sorry! I pray life gets easier for you all around.
