So...whats for dinner?

Michelle- That is awesome you all live in the general area of each other so you can meet! Enjoy sitting in the sun and reading your book!

 Laurie- Those eggplant recipes look good, The lunch yesterday was good, and today im changing it up with some smoked salmon, capers, and cream cheese

Tonight I am making coconut shrimp with a orange marmalade sauce that i spice up with pepper flakes and some rice pilaf and left over green beans. I just love summer fresh veggies, I cant get enough.

Glad everyone is doing well and hopefully resting.  got turned down for my herceptin today due to heart...gonna go for another echo tomorrow and then if ok, infusion.

Funny story.....my daughter is a fashion major and lives in NYC, has loved fashion and clothes since born, and works for a design company....ok....well she sent me a text that she was watching a cooking challenge show, so I asked her if she was learning how to cook ( she doesnt have a clue in the kitchen)  anyway her reply was.."  yeah right, I just figured out I have been wearing my shirt backwards all day and you think I can cook?"   Guess we have to take her back to kindergarten and start over.  That was my giggle for the day.

Made macn cheese for dinner cause thought I would be infused today and dinner would be all set when I got home...oh well...will throw some veggie next to it and call it a day.

Laurie- Missed the comment about your 3 yr old, Yay! You must be thrilled

Lena- LOL!

Joyce- Hope your evening was nice and quite

Carberry- I hope you are able to have your infusion tomorrow- Funny story about your daughter, I have been known to do that too and wear my shirt inside out or leave a strip on it that tells what size it is LOL!

Michelle-Your boat ride and dinner sounds good- That is awesome that all you have to do is walk out your yard and hop in a boat!

I havnt had canteloup in forever, that sounds so good with cottage cheese, i will have to give it a try

Good luck, Carberry!

___________________________________________________________________________

4-6 cod fillets, salt and pepper both sides cook in a little butter (You can also bake these in the oven at 350% for 7-10 minutes (remove and keep warm)

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons capers

We're going out for prime rib tonight - to a restaurant we used to go to 20 years ago.  DH is all excited...lol.  I am tired, just spent the day with my mom, took her to the doctor and they are putting her back on Aricept (a good thing).  And we have to move her next week into her own studio apt in the same facility.  The whole roommate thing has turned into a big bust.  Big giant ugh!

Those cod fillet recipes look familiar, except I do it with chicken breasts, add some artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes, a few Greek olives and call it Chicken Carciofi.  One of our favorite little Italian restaurants in Missouri had this on the menu and it was my favorite dish.  Sometimes I'd add in a can of cannelini beans and that made it a complete meal.

Michelle

Michelle- Your chicken sounds yummy- I have been on a greek olive kick lately, at safeway in the olive bar i get the greek olives mixed with feta cheese, and then top it with there marinated articokes i then will put that in my chicken and add some asperagus, some times i add a little cream to it. Have a great dinner out!

Joyce- I hope you have a great weekend off and a fun lunch with michelle tomorrow!

Its our friday night out too as usual. im not feeling like going out, Its 3pm and i still have not got dressed yet! LOL!  But DH always needs his drink by friday after working hard all week so i guess i will muster up the energy to get in the shower.

Have a great week-end everyone!

i do like prime rib.. one meaty meat that I really enjoy.. (not toooooooooo rare tho).

Joyce and Michell I believe there are no coincidences in life, That if we meet people there is a REASON, and it was meant to be, What a great beautiful thing! I have seen it happen here so often too- Love it!

Lena- LMBO you are so funny! At least i hope you meant ot be :P

Had fun tonight but Dh had hurt his wrist all of a sudden he whined how bad it was all night long (try pushing a 5 pound baby out) Jk of course, and im thinking geeso, quit whining, but kept babying him, then our friend sang "Get on board the train, soul train" And i got every one in the place to get behind me and holding on to each others hips dancing though the whole place, like a caboose, thinking i looked cute cool and sexy ( At least in my mind) then, i twisted my ankle and went down it hurt so bad, what a kill joy i was, LOL so i hobbled back to my chair and whined how bad my ankle was, what a pair 'DH and i were tonight LOL!

Hi everyone! I am doing well. Surgery went smoothly am supposed to get released tomorrow. Feeling pretty good, I am sure in the next couple of days will be feeling a lot better. As far as what's foe dinner - hospital food blah! Maybe dh will pick something up for me tonight instead, but I'm not that hungry any way and vegetable lasagna might actually be good. Sounds like everyone is eating well and having fun. Enjoy the weekend. It's still raining here, already the rainiest month in history.

That's OK if you laugh at me, I don't mind.  :-)

Michelle, your "soup season" is my soup season. I'm just starting sooner because it's really easy to get a nice hot meal by dumping half a can of soup in a bowl and microwaving it...no pots and pans to wash, only the bowl and spoon. Easy is always good of course, but on rads it's even better (chemo too -- my eating pattern on rads is almost identical to what it was on chemo). Well, I guess eating all that weird food yesterday is maybe why I'm not hungry yet for today; all I've had so far is my two cups of morning coffee (and my medication). I do have more easy food (including the other tub of cottage cheese!) left; I'll have to check in later when something appeals to me. I know, let's hope it's not TOO gross. LOL

ETA: Apple, I know about the grapefruit juice thing because the 13 years I was on anti-migraine meds I couldn't have grapefruit or grapefruit juice for exactly that reason. None of the medicines I take now have that restriction, thank goodness, because I really LOVE pink grapefruit juice!!!!! I still used to drink one 8 oz bottle a year on my birthday on the old meds. Nothing happened, but I guess it's because I only did it once a year and when I did it, it was basically only one glass worth.

Joyce and I had a very nice time at lunch today, and we talked all the way there and all the way back!  It was fun and we'll do it again.  The food was lovely and I ate my first ever edible flower...lol!

Kay - so glad to hear from you, hope you are healing well and get sprung from the hospital very soon!  And good for hubby, to bring you some good food!  Hospital food always leaves lots to be desired!

I love grapefruit and grapefruit juice, too.  Might be time to bring home a couple of them!

Michelle

Shelley - that sounds like a delightful accident!

 Michelle

OMG Laurie, I hope you and nobody in your family got hurt!
