Thinking Out Loud.....

Kids got out of school early today and it just started snowing about an hour or so ago here.

Glad to hear the butt shot went well.  I wanted to write that I wondered how your butt was doing, but wasn't sure it would be taken the right way... 

I want to join in in the SLAP the &*%*& SLAP BAM BAM SLAP SLAP SLAP &*(%^ SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!!!!!!!!

Have to bring the car to get it checked tomorrow morning.  It made a weird noise when I was backing out of the driveway earlier.   When I came home and rolled down the window to listen as I drove up and down the driveway - looking stupid - it didn't make any noise.  Then shortly afterward I went to go out again and it was making the scraping noise going forward too.   Turned around and came back. Not driving it.

And it's not good timing because my DH's father was just brought to the hospital today.  MIL found him on all fours and he couldn't get up.  Arm and leg are affected and he can't communicate well - might have had a stroke.  Waiting to hear the neurologist's assessment.

Thanks - they are running tests.  Will have to wait and see.

How was our day Sheila.  I was thinking of you today when I bought thick AG for 4.00!  Ouch!

Sounds good to me Sheila!  I'll grab my tackle box! (and fork)

What is GT?

cooking some boneless chicken breast (BCB) and a baked potato.  My last meal until Monday night.  

I pour myself glass of wine since Im not having any junk food this weekend.

Deb...after is all done and finished you can eat the same day??????

In the recovery room they give you juice and gram crackers

Glad you are done Deb!

Sheila  -  unlike Sara Palin, I cannot "see" Alaska from here.  However, given the amount of business my DH does in the fish industry there, I can always have fabulous salmon.  But our salmon is extremely different from fresh or farmed Atlantic salmon.

Linda - when you say sea scallops do you mean the giant ones or the little ones?  We don't even get the little ones here.

Tonight we went to our local cantinetta - I had a wheatberry salad with dried cherries and smoked duck.  Then I had brussel sprouts with pancetta and some butterfish.  Or buttah fish.

Oh, I'm just beginning.  Starting tomorrow no solids for 2 days, just liquids and clear jello.

The really large scallops, they're my favorite.

Your dinner sounds great!

Perhaps we should stop talking about food in honor of Deb??

I buy tri-tip by the bag here, usually 7 or so in a bag. Then we cut them in half for when it is jsut the two of us, or leave them whole for when we have guests.  I am a hop skip and a jump from Tri-tip capitol of CA.

In the United States, this cut was typically used for ground beef or sliced into steaks until the late 1950s, when it became a local specialty in Santa Maria, California, rubbed with salt, pepper, garlic salt, and other seasonings, cooked over red oak wood and roasted whole on a rotisserie, smoked in a pit, baked in an oven, grilled, or braised by putting a pot on top of a grill, browning the meat directly on the grill surface before and after the braising. (The tri-tip is still often labeled the "Santa Maria steak".) Most popular in the Central Coast of California and Central Valley regions of California,[1] it has begun to enjoy increasing popularity elsewhere for its full flavor, lower fat content, and comparatively lower cost.

Give your coworker a fukitol pill. 

Yes some foods take longer but who needs her to tell you that.

Meece - wow - you sure are a guiness book of facts - you write well!
