aKathy's What's for Dinner? 4/4

I have my cousin staying with me for a couple of days and we have been walking around Munich for most of the day. The weather has not been brilliant, but we just dashed into churches when the rain got to much for us. Tomorrow looks like it will be a better day, so we will head out again.
We went shopping on the way home, so we will be having streaks on the grill and a big mixed salad.

It's Tuesday, so tacos for us. Plus I will have taco dip.
I prepped everything last night, so all I have to do is warm the taco meat (that was from freezer) and slop the dip on a platter and dress it up.
SO and I have a couples meeting at 5:30, so won't probably eat until after. This makes an easy, quick meal.

This is it for my meal planning for the week. Now I will have to think of something tomorrow and go to store then...BOO!

Enjoy Beauty and the Beast. It does look like a good one to see.

Dh is making Chinese pie. I'm eating spaghetti squash with meat sauce.

DS cooked today! Chicken (he added spices, but I couldn't identify any except the garlic), rice and he found to tins with vegetables in the pantry (baby corn and ratatouille), so it was both healthy and filling, and I didn't have to cook! Can you tell I'm happy?

And strawberries, blueberries and icecream for dessert, since DS will have surgery in three weeks and the poor kid is nervous about it (got the date for the surgery today).

My boyfriend is a firefighter and he goes in this evening for a 24 hr shift. When he works, I usually do takeout or something easy at home.

Well it's Tuesday already....tonight for our dining pleasure we will be having cabbage and kielbasa. Everybody else's meals sound so much better to me then what I am fixing though. Oh well I have several other nights this week to fix other stuff......LOL

We're having baked chicken, mashed cauliflower and roasted Brussels sprouts.

It's a pretty easy meal with little prep. I need easy today. I was going to go to bed early last night after suffering a headache all day. Oh, no. That was not to be. Our little Basenji mix Tripp got his ear tangled up with the sharp puppy teeth of Shiloh and ripped a tear from the tip about 1/4 inch down. He didn't even yelp, so we didn't know there was an injury until DD started screaming about him having blood all over his head. You know how head injuries in humans bleed a lot? Let me assure you, the same is true for dogs.

It took some time before we could actually determine where the blood was coming from. All the while, he's shaking his head and flinging blood EVERYWHERE. I'm not kidding, the house looked like a crime scene. There was blood splatter on both walls in the stairwell, on every cabinet in the kitchen, and on all of us. We tried everything we could think of to stop the bleeding - cornstarch, liquid bandage, everything. But as soon as we would get it stopped, he'd wriggle free and start shaking his head again. We called the emergency vet and they said to bring him in as he might require stitches. Turns out, they used liquid skin and wrapped the tip tightly then put the cone of shame around his neck. He has been so miserable today with that thing. We have to keep the dogs separated too, and they are missing each other.

But I did learn that there were a couple of jobs I'd be no good at - forensic crimes clean-up unit because of all the massive cleaning. And serial killer because of all the massive cleaning that would need to be done to avoid detection.

In the end, I got to bed about 2 hours after my regular bedtime instead of an hour early like I'd planned.

From what I've seen, pajamas are acceptable attire out in public.

Going to G&G's house for dinner... Stuffed french toast, scrambled eggs and bacon.

We're having ribs tonight ~ maybe. DH admitted he's had a bad toothache for a couple of days so I made him go to the dentist. Sounds like a probable root canal. MEN ~ why don't the call when they have symptoms or bad pain?

I went to Zumba this morning and they surprised me with a potted plant of tulips and a beautiful card that many of them signed ~ made me cry when I read it after I got home. Gonna miss that group.

We've put up a baby gate to keep Shiloh downstairs and Tripp upstairs. They have lain on either side, facing each other and whining all morning. It's really pitiful. But she's still a puppy (albeit a big one!) and we know she wouldn't leave his collar and ear alone. So until the collar comes off on Friday, they'll be apart. And they are NOT liking it.

I found a couple of ancient packages of chuck roast in the freezer (I don't really want to say how old)  so I decided to make a big batch of Italian beef. I'll give my sister some and freeze some. Then it turned out one of the chuck roasts was actually brisket. I guess that will be okay for Italian beef.  I dunno.

So I looked more closely at the packages and they were both from Costco, which is more expensive for meat than my local supermarket on sale. So now I not only can't tell you how old the meat is, I also don't want to say how much I spent on it. Holy hell, is all I'm willing to say. That Italian beef better be good.

I'll make mashed potatoes (because I'm too lazy to go to the store for rolls) and mixed veggies to go with it.
