AKathy's What's for dinner?

keeping naby64 and her family in my prayers.

scrapmaven - (((hugs))) I hope the treatment time goes well.

dinner tonight is bbq ribs, potatoes au gratin, and whatever vegetables I find in the fridge. Nice and easy...

I’m babysitting grandboy #2 again today. DDIL stayed home with him yesterday. He seems much better but still gets a fever without any meds. I’m being diligent to hopefully keep from getting sick.

Last night was my alphabet supper with my former work gang. I had chicken fettuccine alfredo. It was okay but nothing spectacular. One of our group is going to be a grandma in a couple weeks so we had a bit of a grandma shower for her. Next month is the letter Y. We are close to the end of the alphabet so we need to decide if we are going to start from A again or do a different theme.

My heart goes out to naby64. What a shock!

Supper is unknown at this point. I barely saw DH this morning so no time to discuss supper.

Thinking of you, naby64, and hoping your are surrounded by your kids right now.

I'm waiting for DH to finish packing his bag so we can figure out the extra shared bag we decided to take. Weather report is for colder (snow!) than expected, so extra boots, coats, etc., now need to come along. Usually we take the train in from the airport and limit ourselves to carry-on, but my sis is picking us up today. The big bag means I'm also throwing in my yoga mat. What can I say, it's a priority.  

I'm not sure how much I'll be online for the next couple weeks as we have a full schedule of visiting and adventures. Tonight is dinner with friends at an Italian restaurant and I have my eye on the prawns & scallops, but can always be distracted by a cioppino. I'm betting DH will be getting the lamb shank.

my brother just invited us for dinner.. so that answers that question,

sunny and cold today and we are going to try to go out on the ski bike hill again today. looking forward to some snow this weekend.

big hugs for naby64. so sorry to hear this.

Good evening all,

It’s been a long, busy day.
We were all up early, as my friend and her daughter had to leave at 7:40 to get to school on time. My friend then went to her German course for the morning, then the court hearing was at 1pm.
I decided as I was already up and I was picking the daughter up from school at 4 (required me leaving home at 3:20), to make our dinner early so it was ready to go.

DS messaged me and sent some photos from his FiL’s funeral. Here is my precious, giving her little eulogy for her nonno



While I was on the way to do the school pickup, another friend who went to court messaged to say they had just finished and ‘it was a good day’. They were then going to get food and decompress after it all.
S and I have made a batch of cookies since we’ve been home, so we can celebrate. I don’t know exactly what the ruling was, but ‘good day’ ‘big relief’ and ‘we won’ are enough for me!

Dinner is vegetarian stuffed peppers, and cookies of course!

naby64 - thinking of you and your family and sending big virtual hugs.

Well, Trader Joe's was a big money suck as always. I went in looking for two things I had at my sisters and walked out with $85 worth of groceries! I'm single and although I do make dinner for my parents a few times a week, I just can't help myself there. Oh well, no more Door Dash for awhile

Dinner will be shrimp lo-mein and veggie nests.

6 hours is a long treatment. But it's worth it if you're feeling better. Just thought I'd ask about the headache? Has it gone away?



I must have missed you are traveling. To BC? Cold and snowy?



She is just the sweetest.

Tearisci, I can top you, I was up at 4 today! Haha... I'm normally up at 5 so 4 isn't a huge stretch. But I drank my coffee and then I sewed for a while. I even logged in about an hour later for work this morning just because I was deep into sewing and with the way the world has been the past week or so, I needed a bit of a release. I posted my progress on the Daylesford quilt thread.

I wanted to make some tofu and rice lettuce wraps last night. But the lettuce leaves were so small it was impossible to wrap anything. So I basically just turned it into a salad. LOL! Today I have a food box coming but I can't remember what I ordered. There will be food, though. Maybe not for Jeremy. He's got a stomach virus that has been kicking his ass since Monday night. I'm trying not to get it.

Wow, you definitely beat me! Once the dog is awake, he's AWAKE! 

I did have a meeting this afternoon get cancelled so I'm hoping to sneak a little nap in. 

Glad you were so productive with your extra time!

I hope you get your nap!  I'll be fine...until around 7...that's when I become useless. LOL!

We are making tacos tonite with cheese etc. Instead of taco shells we use pita pockets. Will figure out some vegetables from the fridge.

I am actually trying to lose about 5 lbs. as my pants are getting a bit tight. But they were all saying that any calories they burned in the pool, they ate a ridiculous amount of stuff when they got home because they were so hungry. I can see if you get up early and work out but not eating anything until 10:30-11 would not work for me.

This little night owl doesn't know how y'all do it!! DSO is the same - 6am is a sleep in for him. I had to set my alarm for 5:50am this morning, because it was my turn to pick my friend up for our regular Thursday morning walk. I HATE seeing a five on my clock! It meant I had to go to bed at 11pm instead of my normal midnight.


I don't like eating breakfast too early, so I wouldn't eat breakfast first either. Even when I used to swim 30 laps before work (a million years ago!) I don't think I ate breakfast first. 

You are really sure you need to lose weight? The recent photos (a few mo ago) you were still very petite. You exercise very hard 6-7 days a week. Me thinks you are in a great place, Joy.

I think they might brush it with a little bit of garlic and olive oil and it’s not on the grill for very long and it’s part of a salad. I can’t remember what else is on it but oh my goodness it’s so delicious.
