That meme is just hilarious, leannec. Good luck at the mall. Get a vente something so that you can power through the crowds. I'm basically finished except for yds' gf. Yds is going to help me w/that. Tonight I'm going to make chicken parm. I was going to do that yesterday, but was too tired. The best laid plans... Have a Happy day.

We were planning to go to Zoolights tonight but there’s rain in the forecast so we rescheduled for next Sunday. Tonight I’m making roast beef, mashed potatoes, gravy, butternut squash and I was thinking about Yorkshire puddings but I fear dh mixed the bacon fat I had with other discarded fat so I don’t know if I’ll do the Yorkshire puddings or not. But....I did buy bacon today so I could cook some just for the fat!!! leannec great minds! And I love the meme!

Glad you’re feeling a bit restored leannec . My day yesterday was a recharge limit human interaction kind of day. I slept in. Had a nap. And watched movies. Only left the house to pick up carry out dinner from Olive Garden, in my pjs. Lol jeremysgirl so a tub of those cookies needs to find its way to my mailbox. Just sayin. Tonight is drip beef sandwiches, sweet potato fries and some roasted brussels and broccoli for green stuff.

We have loads of hibachi leftovers, which is good because I'm putting in a full day of work from home.

Our Mexican neighbors just brought over a large bag of food from their day of cooking. I haven't looked to see what's in the bag, but I know it will be delicious. They invited us over to eat but we have our great grandbaby and he's asleep.

jeremysgirl, I'm going to have to jump into that photo and eat some cookies. See, isn't it great to have a Kitchen Aid mixer at your fingertips? (I told you I was gonna nag you.) PolarGreen12 , good for you for taking a day to just relax. You work hard all week and we all need a day like that. Hope your Olive Garden meal was yummy. I miss their salad and breadsticks.

KelleeM .....I wanna send you a few more ((hugs)). I honestly can't believe HOW MANY losses you and your family have had, so close together! Whenever I hear of things like this, I wonder why SOME people have so many bad things happen, whereas, some people (like me) do not. ESPECIALLY in situations where things happen so close together! I have 2 dear friends who are going through SO much, ( death, divorce, illness, problems with their children, financial) so close together---(like you are), I can't wrap my brain around it. Sooo, when I pray about it, I tell God that I look forward to the day when (IF?) He explains all of it. Whenever I used to get overwhelmed over peoples' problems and ask Him "why, why, WHY", my dear sister and my counselor would tell me that it wasn't my "job" to understand or fix anyones' problems, which I've gotten better at, but sometimes, I still want to....hee hee! Anyhoo....alll that to say, I wish I could do something to take your familys' grief away, and I'm so very sorry. I don't think I could handle that many losses so close together! I hope that you are having some joy/ laughter with your sweet granddaughter that helps you get through all of this! --------------------------------------------------- leannec .....OMG,. that meme!!! LOL!!! I went shopping last NIGHT, starting at EIGHT, because I do NOT do crowds, nor can I deal with the PARKING !!!!!! I was in a LOT of pain all day, almost in tears, so I was THRILLED to forget it a while and shop! I also got to finallllly meet my dear "adoped baby brother" to give him his special, always-requested birthday lasagne that's been in my freezer for 2 weeks. He and his wife texted me that they couldn't wait and had it for breakfast! Lemme tell ya, going to Target at 10 pm is COMPLETE Heaven !!!!! I DO realize that many people can't be out shopping that late, especially those that work early in the morning! But, I worked NIGHTS for manyyy years, so I'm already used to (and LOVE!) shopping at weird hours and I'm still a night owl at heart! I used to love grocery shopping at 8 *am* on my way home from work.....stores were almost empty! I am SO happy that I have NOT seen this this Christmas season, and hope that I don't......One of my MANY pet peeves about Christmas shopping are people who are RUDE TO THE CASHIERS !!!!! I didn't wanna see THAT, either!! As if it's the poor cashier's fault that everrrrrrryone is grumpy from waiting in long lines. My saying has always been "If you CANNOT be nice to the staff and/or other shoppers during this time of year, when you KNOW it's going to be crazy.....JUST DON'T GO !!! Sure, I get mad and annoyed, too, but the difference is....I DONT TAKE IT OUT on the cashiers !!!!!!! Speaking of RUDE people, this TRULY broke my heart !!!!!! There's a place that is very well known locally for their AMAZING Christmas lights. The line of cars the other night was MILES long. People KNOW this !!!! Welllll, my friend's friend was there waiting patiently in the car with her sweet toddlers, and had a HORRIBLE time. Not only did they almost get into a wreck from a complete IDIOT who decided they couldn't handle the line anymore, did a crazy u-turn or something very wrecklessly, almost hitting them. As if that wasn't bad enough, she also got CUSSED OUT over a parking spot. SERIOUSLY !!! GRUMPY PEOPLE NEED TO STAY THE HELL HOME !!!!!!!! I AM one of those people who would get grumpy waiting that long, ...so....I DON'T GO !!!!!! It's that simple, people! -------------------------------------------------------------------- scrapmaven , teddyw , AussieMeg .....About yesterday's girlfriend/ boyfriend conversation... I'm glad you've all had great experiences, except for teddy-----that is just AWFUL !!!! Can people not just keep negative stuff QUIET? Bad enough that she said horrible things, but to tell "the whole town?" Ugh!!! Reading that made me even MORE thankful that both sides of our family are completely NO DRAMA. Annnnd, if we didn't like someone that someone was dating/ married to, sure, a few of us might QUIETLY gossip, but we'd be polite to that person, while secretly hoping they'd break up.....hee hee. Ugh, that reminds me, one of our precious nieces has been divorced several years and is now dating a guy that my sis-in-law has SERIOUS doubts about. I am praying/ hoping that he does NOT hurt her (obviously), but also, her precious 8-year-old daughter! Her husband, (who I alllllways felt awkward around!) turned out to be a jerk and really hurt her--it was heartbreaking seeing her go through that ! I'm thankful that her ex SEEMS to have a good relationship with their sweet daughter, though. ---------------------------------------------------- jeremysgirl ......WOWWW !!! YUM !!! I just booked my ticket to come to your house !!! Not only would I embarrass myself by gorging on all those yummies, but....may I also bring a TO-GO box? .....I'm actually looking forward to baking LOTS of cookies later today or tomorrow. I especially love to bring lots of treats to our 2 pawsome vets and their pawsome staff. They go above and beyond for Meaty and Sophie! (I've mentioned this a few times recently, so if anyone's tired of hearing it, I apologize). P.S....Sorry, I rambled again!! Is that a lovely glass of red wine you're holding? I dunno if you saw my comment to you yesterday, but I am REALLLLY happy that your Mom applogized to you and I hope it made a LOT of your Christmas stress disappear. I also loved that amazing chair your dd made!

Can I just say how delicious everyone’s meals sound? My mom was moved to an inpatient hospice facility this past Friday and I haven’t been able to cook anything in quite while between hospital visits and now hospice. So, could I ask a favor for y’all to just set all of that up as a buffet for me?? lol And an entire cookie table from jeremysgirl would be perfect! Cookies are my favorite dessert/snack/meal in the whole world. ps. What exactly is yorkshire pudding?

DD went out for lunch and didn’t want dinner; DSO was manning the bar at a party held at the cricket club so he had pizza there; DS had a roll with meatballs that DSO cooked the day before; I had bacon and eggs; the dog had cat food that came in a trial pack in the letterbox. 😁

I made a soup I've made dozens of times, but today it came out really, really salty. Too salty for me to eat, but DH who loves salt, ate it right up. I'm down to cheese and crackers.
jeremysgirl, good Lord, that's an impressive table to sweets. I was proud of myself for just making a plate of candies for DH's work place.
krcrafts, I'm thinkning of your family. Sorry you are going thru this at Christmas time.

zookeeper that chicken looks fantastic! You guys I just have to tell you. I bought two preseasoned pork tenderloin. I seered both on both sides until brown. I wrapped in foil and baked at 350 until they hit 160 degrees. I made sure to pull them from the oven when they hit the temp. I let them rest in the foil for five minutes and then I cut them. Delicious. Hands down that was the best tenderloin I have ever made. I also did a broccoli rice cheese casserole and all my picky kids minus one raved about the casserole. And anyone who wants to travel is welcome to stop by for a cookie! 🍪

jeremysgirl Believe it or not....this is the very first time in my life that I have roasted a whole chicken! I wish I'd known how easy it is! I usually leave my chickens to DH who grills them. But when the temp is 0 and there's two feet of snow, he does balk at grilling...lol. This will be a good one to try for my kids in winter.

I went out for lunch with my brother-in-law today. Not the local one, but my late husband’s brother who drove down from cadoodlebug ’s neighborhood so we could visit the cemetery. My son met us there, too. Yesterday was the 25th anniversary of my husband’s death. My BIL lost his brother, his sister, and both parents young. It was saddish, but c’mon, 25 years. But still. Much of my adult life. I was widowed at age 40. ANYWAY. I had a really good lunch at 2:00 and now I’m not hungry.
