I've got a pot roast with vegetables in the crock pot, I made a large enough one so we should have leftovers for tomorrow. Yum!

We're having hamburgers on buns with some chips on the side. Not very exciting but it will be good!

We are still in the hospital but hopeful DH may be discharged on Sunday. He just began clear liquids and he is so excited. He hadn't eaten a bite since 8 pm Thursday night. I've been eating out of the vending machine which is expensive and pretty yucky. I feel kinda gross in fact. Happy times coming soon : my in-laws said they will be bring take out from Panera when they come by for a visit tonight.

tuesdaysgone, It's hopeful that your dh will be released tmw, but I'm sorry that you have to eat yucky vending machine stuff in the meantime. Wishing your dh a Sunday discharge and greatly improved health quickly. DH is making a chicken teriyaki noodle dish. I'll be in my recliner cheering him on from the sidelines.

tuesdaysgone that sounds awful-I can't even imagine having subsist on vending machine food. I hope you get the Panera ASAP. I am not sure what I am going to have. The boy is still out of town and I am not feeling a whole lot like cooking anything but honestly, I have been eating worse than lately than I did in college, so I probably need to do a little better. The only problem is I am just not feeling it and the thought of cooking for just me is pretty much a no go. So what's a girl to do?? Maybe I will change my mind...?

I hope things go well and he's released tomorrow!

I have a few small pork chops in the fridge and a cooked roast chicken that needs to be eaten. I am not sure exactly what that will look like. And now I want spetzle, quiltz, because I haven't had any in decades. Enjoy Happy Saturday to all! Lisa

I am planning on grilling some salmon tonight and will have rice and green peas. We weren't even supposed to be home tonight. Good healing vibes to those who aren't feeling well, or are caring for someone who is ill. anxiousmom, I think it's a good time to try that shrimp and grits recipe.

In a rare turn of events, we're going out for Chinese. Most of the time, the family wants me to make egg rolls or noodles instead of going to a restaurant. But after a day of doing nothing, I still want to do nothing!

tuesdaysgone I am so sorry and hope you get something yummy soon! Tonight is "Night of 1,000 choices" or "FFY night," which means pulling out leftovers and eating what we can (hence the fend for yourself). I just ate the fajita salad leftovers so that means some spaghetti and meatballs or stir fry for DH and DS plus whatever else they can forage for in the fridge. We are going to see Fame Jr. at our local middle school tonight. My best frind's son is in it and we are happy to see him perform.

But that would require a trip to the grocery store. And a shower. And clothes that aren't one step away from rags. Unless you are cooking-in which case I will manage the shower and clean clothes and be right over.

Well, it's Masters weekend, the Holy Grail of golf according to my DH. I was told to plan nothing but to watch TV. Not only do we watch it live, we watch ALL the highlights as well. Just how many times can they say Jordan Speith is phenomenal? ? A LOT. I really love watching golf with DH, really. So, tonight it's grilled burgers wrapped in bacon, baked potatoes, broccoli and chocolate cake for dessert.

Leftover pizza - same thing that was on the menu for breakfast and will be on the menu tomorrow.
We don't normally have THAT much pizza leftover, but my husband stopped to order from our favorite place last night. He ordered two pizzas, getting what each of us was in the mood for, and planning for some leftovers. We always ask for "light bake" so the crust is not as crispy, more chewy. Well, they were super busy, and had some new employees, and they overbaked them - so they made two more. He walked in the door with four pizza boxes! We were laughing about how we needed the doorbell to ring with unexpected visitors because we had way too much food. We were about ready to go pull in people off the street!

We were very busy this a.m. We moved out an old computer table that I've been wanting to get rid of and you know if you move one things, more moves happen and bring out the vacuum. WoW!!!! So for lunch, we had veggies. I had a baked potato with veggies from a veggie tray I got the other day and radishes (I love radishes). DH had tomatoes (not from the garden yet), turnips and field peas. Cornbread would have been great with all this - but who had time and the energy. I'm pooped from all the rearranging but happy with the outcome. Now to do more. . . . . .

We're having a business acquaintance of my husband's and his wife for dinner. The menu is steaks on the grill, baked potatoes, steamed broccoli, and a salad of mixed greens, pears, walnuts, and feta with a fruity dressing. Dessert is marscapone cloud with blueberries and toasted almonds. And here's my table all set for dinner just because it's so pretty I want to show it off! Lol.

Your situation reminds me of the "When the doorbell rings" skit that has been floating around Facebook ... sooooo funny When the doorbell rings

That IS a pretty table spongemom! Steaks sound great too as does everything else everyone's making (clearly I'm hungry now).
We're having tacos on corn tortillas, refried beans, and margaritas. Dh is working on a remodel on the bathroom and I've been busy all day shopping so we're keeping it simple.

He had a Uverse plan that seemed to have a camera on every hole. You certainly can't see that much golf anywhere else, and you can talk above a whisper at home.

It sounds like something my family would like. Let us know what you think of it. We liked it! It was pretty juicy, I'd characterize it more stew-like than casserole, but the biscuits worked real good for sopping. We'll freeze the leftovers, and I'd make it again, it was good. Here's a link to the recipe: Lumberjack Casserole - Crockpot

Well.....I grilled the bacon wrapped burgers. Only problem...I forgot I put bacon around the meat AND I forgot to turn the burners down. They were charred pretty good on the outside and rare on the inside. Oh well, one out of the two of us was happy.
