    Seaside- My feeling exactly- what is wrong with people?

    Nancy- YUM on the pic of the onion rolls.  I don;t want to marry you- but I will pay for you to mail them to me Tongue Out

    Tonight's dinner is avocado salsa with chicken.  Haven't had it in awhile.

    Also, for those of you not on facebook.  Debbie's husband is half way through his surgery and doing well.  Also her brother and SIL drove 6 hours to be with them for the surgery.  She sounded up beat in her posts and things seem to be going well.

    Laurie,



    Thanks so much for the update on Chuck's surgery for us that are not on Facebook! If you can, could you let us know how he's doing when the surgery is over? I think of Debbie everyday and really miss her posts....



    Debbie,



    If you're still reading here, sending prayers to you and Chuck! Miss you my fellow June B-Day girl.....

    Debbie - prayers for Chuck and for you winging their way from Texas.

    Laurie - thanks for updating us.

    UMM - onion rolls.  Have no idea what dinner will be tonight.  At the rate storms are building to the west might be flying branches.  I think somewhere I have frozen chicken fried steaks that need using up.  Might be that with the some gravy and oven fries.  Need to look up the tomato/basil cornbread recipe.  Might be good with it.

    Nancy - You are surely enjoying your Christmas present!

    Do you have a favorite recipe for English muffins?  I make chicken salad for DH regularly -  OK with canned chicken.  I bet DH can bend the insides of the cans in to make them not so sharp.  Williams Sonoma website doesn't have any rings.  Need to persuade DH to make Amazon order soon.

    Thanks Laurie! We're heading out tonight to celebrate good mammo/US for me. Was sweating this one because I thought felt something but everything came back good! A big deal for me but so so small compared to what others are dealing with...



    Bobo,



    Your post totally cracked me up!! Love your sense of humor...lol!



    Nancy,



    Loved that pic!! That looks like a serious pasta making session... I need to get up the nerve to try!

    Nancy, have you made spinich pasta?  I like to use frozen spinich, juice and all, puree in food processor, add lemon juice and flour. 

    Seaside, congrats!

    Making pasta really is easy.  Egg noodles are easy to start with, just find a receipe and go with it.  Just be sure to use enough flour that it is not sticky.

    WTF is wrong with people indeed. They said one of the dead is an 8 year old girl. And that out of the 100 plus hurt at least 20 are children. WTF does

    it take to do that. Praying for all involved. There were three people on the running board there. One checked in ok. (FirstCall).

    Those of US away from there still have to eat, so, having leftovers, Italian medallions with spiral whole wheat pasta.

    Much love.

    Luv, I use a thinner and longer rise version of Alton browns recipe. The modifications seem to produce more nooks and crannies.



    Chabba, I have not tried any flavored pastas. We did make one today made with some toasted flour, wow was that good! A very nutty and rich flavor with just some butter and parmesan.



    Seaside, happy for you!



    Pasta making is fun by itself, but my DSIL makes everything we do fun. She is the sister I never had. Love her!

    Laurie, thanks so much for Debbie updates.  Thinking about bedo.  My poor sister.  

    Nancy, that is the cutest pic ever.  You might as well draw me on that picture with a Sharpie, because I am packing right now.  Seaside, I don't know what you are talking about:  I am not joking.  Nancy and I have a love that is real.  I am going to marry her -- not just move in, as Carberry offered -- and I am going to eat onion rolls every day and gain 200 pounds...

    Debbie just posted that Chuck is out of surgery and all went well.  He will "feel like a mac truck ran over him for a few days".  When he is moved to ICU she will be able to see him.

    Laurie,



    Thanks for the update! I can imagine the recovery will be rough but hoping that, when he comes out the other side, he will feel so much better...



    Debbie and Chuck.... Thinking of you both and praying hard for a speedy recovery....



    Bobo,



    Never for a moment thought your offer to Nancy was insincere...lol.... Just loved the offer of the clean-up crew that would not be you... I hate doing dishes, too!

    Thanks for the congrats on the good test results... So nice to share news where people understand the worry leading up to the test, whatever test it may be, and the emotions that follow the result, whatever it may be... I think most of my family thinks all is OK and have moved on... They don't see the anxiety that we go through at each test... but that's probably a good thing...

    Happy (((hugs))) to you Seaside.



    Much as I'd prefer to post about pasta, I'm thinking with sadness about the families affected by today's bombings at the Marathon finish line...



    DH and I were excited earlier in the day when DS2 called to tell us that the building his company recently acquired, which he spend lots of time on since it is his largest Boston account, was front and center at the finish line, so we would see it when people crossed the line. Since DH and I had not yet gotten into Back Bay to see this place (a modern architectural midrise misfit that is referred to as the Darth Vader bldg) that he talks about so much, we were happy to check it out on Marathon Monday in the comfort of our family room. Fast forward to 3:15, when DS2 calls to ask wth was going on, since he had a text from his property mgr saying the building was in lockdown, then he couldn't reach him. DS2 was with friends after the Sox game, not near a TV. We updated him on the bombing, which went off directly in front of "his" building.

    Due to the crime scene he could not get into the area and was later relieved to learn that all the tenants were evacuated safely. Despite the fact that the windows of the first four floors were blown out on that side of the building, he was told there were no serious injuries to the people inside the building. TG! I think we've seen enough of the Darth Vader building for now.....



    As many of you have probably seen on the news, people who were watching the runners from the street were not so lucky. I am so thankful that the Boston Police, firefighters, first responders, varied medical personnel, and other volunteers triaged the injured in record time, and got them transported to our many hospitals for emergency treatment, or the death toll would have been even worse. In addition to heartfelt concern for the families affected by this horrific tragedy, I feel for the war veteran responders who, by virtue of their volunteer service today, were re- traumatized by the war-like sounds and images. I hope they can get the support they may need.



    On a positive note, I was so touched by the messages of love from NYC towards Boston that were illuminated on NYC buildings....a wonderful show of empathy. Thank you, New York! ((((Beantown))))



    Peace....

    Lacey, that was a horrible thing. I pray for the families who have people injured or worse. But Boston can be proud of their handling of the situation. The injured were moved out quickly, even with the threat of more happening, responders went in. Inspiring. Much love.

    Hugs to all who have family in the Boston area. Lacey, happy that your family is safe. My brother was flying into Boston today for business. Luckily, his arrival was a couple hours after it started. He said the streets were eerie and empty. Not sure if I understand my dad correctly that hotels were asking people to share hotel rooms. I just don't understand how anyone could do this, there's enough cr*p in the world, way too close to home for comfort.

    Congrats Seaside!  Enjoy the good news!

    Watching the images of the marathon devastation...it's just unbelievable that someone could cause this kind of havoc.  My heart is with the victims, the responders and their families.
