So...whats for dinner?

My trigger thumb surgery is set for 9/20. Of course, now my thumb has begun behaving itself.
Amazing Springsteen concert. Supposed to have been the return leg of the "The River" tour, which--when we saw him in January--consisted of playing his entire landmark 1980 double album, live, in same sequence as on the record; then after a brief break, an encore set. Back then, it came in at about 2-3/4 hrs. By now, it has become the "Everything We Can Fit Into 3-1/2 Hrs., Regardless of What Album It's From, In No Particular Order, Without a Break Tour." (Okay, I suspect several long piano intros--and an entire string section, which he never used before--may have been there to let him duck backstage and pee into a plastic bucket.....which might explain the lack of street people outside the arena banging sticks on plastic buckets....). He took requests from the audience, played stuff he hasn't in over a decade, jumped, danced, climbed amps, crowd-surfed, pulled moms on stage to dance and little kids up to sing (and even let one wear his guitar for a selfie) on "Dancing in the Dark." I, OTOH, even though I went to the loo before the show started, couldn't make it more than 2-1/2 hrs before inching painfully down--one hand on the rail and the other on my cane--from the nosebleed seats to make it to the ladies' room just in time to avert disaster. God bless Poise pads. I speculated whether they were all wearing Depends; Gordy joked they probably had (eeuw) catheters. TMI. Certain things we shouldn't want to know about our idols.
Concessions have definitely gone upscale. Gordy had fried chicken between waffles from Leghorn Chicken; from Sweet Baby Ray’s, I had BBQ brisket (no sauce), cole slaw, and shared my sweet potato fries with Gordy. (My brisket came on a gorgeous ciabatta roll I didn't dare eat--they thoughtfully provided knife & fork without my even asking). They’re even now selling salumi from Publican Quality Meats and tacos from Big Star. Didn't want beer (especially not at $15 for anything decent), and they had two wines by the glass--a Cakebread Cellars Napa Chardonnay and a boutique vineyard Merlot from WA.....$18, with a plastic Govino stemless glass as a souvenir. No thanks. So I paid four and a half bucks for a bottle of water. By the time we got out of the parking lot, every decent late night joint had closed, so we went straight home. Had a little 2012 Brouilly (Bob got home first and opened it) with some truffle Gouda, then a little dish of chocolate sorbet.
Hoping to keep my double-yolk egg streak going, so that I’d need only two to make my favorite French gruyere-chive omelette using the America’s Test Kitchen recipe tomorrow for brunch (have to go out & down to the garden to snip some chives--hope the weather cooperates). Maybe order out for dinner....or try those shrimp as a stir-fry with whatever is in the crisper.

minus - put your spare raspberries on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper and freeze them, then once frozen put them in a zip top bag. I do this with bananas and blueberries - works great and they don't stick together when individually frozen first on the cookie sheet.
eric - I join the voices clamoring for a DD update! How quiet does your house feel? It is so weird, right?
susan - oh boy - what a bad combo - your poor feet and a crummy neighbor/real estate situation, and as we know, stuff lives on the internet for a long time. Hoping both situations improve quickly. Glad to hear that your GI system has calmed down - yay for that!
Last night was sausage/mushrooms on veggie pasta. I am starting to feed my friend also - she and I are doing a class at the new wellness center starting tonight, modeled after the Y's Livestrong. We get 12 free weeks at this state of the art gym with a weekly class and an obligation to come twice on our own. Each person's program is contained in a personalized electronic key that is inserted into the machine that tell you how many sets/reps for each thing. I am starting back with the elimination diet so will cook for her as well - she is young, and was diagnosed three years ago at 35 with a 3cm TN tumor that thankfully had not moved outside the breast. She is a histo-tech at a transplant organization and is busy, and this type of work is physically demanding - she also has on-call hours to work if they get a donor. I will do two meals a day (lunch/dinner) for her, 5 days a week. Tonight I will take two lunches and two dinners in a cooler and give them to her after class. She will do shakes in the morning and intersperse with FitLife foods for the other two days a week, or cook for herself when she is off. She has pins/screws in one ankle and just had plantar fasciitis surgery on the other foot and needs to drop some weight. She is in a catch-22 as standing for work makes stuff hurt, as does exercise, but that is partly because she needs to lose - I feel so badly for her, so this is something I can do to help her, and I need to get back to this diet myself. Because this class is geared toward cancer patients it is a bit gentler and individually geared to each person's intake assessment.
lacey - doesn't it make all the difference to have a good doc break that news? I had a normal mammo despite a large palpable lump, and US showed something that was not clearly cancer, but not a cyst either. The radiologist at the military base insisted on a biopsy at an off-base facility as they had no capability there. After I was diagnosed I went back and thanked him for being so thorough - he saved my life as I was Her2+ and node positive. I had a great radiologist for the biopsy, but was told about the diagnosis by a PA in my BS office who casually mentioned I had breast cancer and then seemed surprised when I was a bit flummoxed. She was one of the weaker links in my care - she also was a horrible drain remover. I went downstairs and spoke with the radiologist a minute later and she was so awesome, warm and generous - gave me her cell number and assured me I would be well taken care of. I was bereft for her when about a year later her only child, a son the same age as mine, got lost back country skiing alone in Montana and died from exposure. She is still practicing, but has moved to another hospital in central Florida.

Susan, I hope they straighten out that mess soon. What a PIA it sounds like! As for your neighbor's roof deck, that sounds like a really selfish thing to do to you. I hate neighbors like that..ugh! Also, hope that you get some relief on the foot issue. We need our feet for all movement when walking so when they hurt, it is very troubling for sure.
Lacey, wonderful news on that 5 year mammo! Words we all like to hear for sure. I just had my 3 year and it is always a relief when you hear the "all clear" from the radiologist.
Minus, Happy Belated Birthday! xo
Sandy, I had to laugh about the "God bless Poise pads" comment because I don't think I could live without them these days. And, 18 bucks for a beer or glass of wine is way out of my comfort zone. But, Bruce Springsteen? Lucky YOU! He is one of the few left on my bucket list to see again. I did see him years and years ago but not in the 2000's. Every time he comes to my area, something or another keeps me from being able to see him. I am a HUGE fan and in fact think of him as my favorite artist from that era. I WILL see him again before my demise!
Special, I love veggie pasta. That is so nice of you to cook for a friend.
Bedo, I went to a clambake Saturday at my friend's beach house in Old Saybrook. We had lobsters with clarified butter and lemon, steamers, corn on the cob, baked potatoes and several different salads, baked beans and some homemade ciabatta bread. (that I baked for the party and it was a huge hit if I say so myself) There were also hot dogs and hamburgers for the kids and for the land-lubbers. It was all sooooo great! It was cooked in a pit on the beach with seaweed. Not quite sure what all they did but it was all fantastic! We women were in the house getting all of the sides ready while the guys cooked the lobsters etc. Someone made a delicious trifle for dessert plus there were cookies and brownies and ice cream for those who wanted it. The host made several types of ice cream herself. What a day! Then at night we had Margaritas and just listened to the surf. Wonderful!
Yesterday was marinated pork loin on the grill with grilled veggies and jasmine rice.
Tonight is leftover pork loin, veggies and rice. Made way too much for the two of us so tonight is round two.
Hope all of you are well!
-
That sounds like a great clambake and overall wonderful evening, April! One to be remembered....good friends, tasty food, and surf! Can't beat that!
I agree that it is so kind of you to be helping your friend with nutritious meals, Special. She sounds like she has quite a way to go, but is in a good place to help it happen.
I just had an email from the school volunteer coordinator in my town to confirm that I will be teaching my social/emotional skills lessons this year formthe K kids. It punctuated my feeling that Fall is here since I was sitting on the deck where the temp is in the 70s with a strong wind sending quite a few yellow leaves my way. I guess summer will end very soon....
We head home tomorrow for a brief stay, mainly to go to DS2's for a lobster dinner to belatedly celebrate DH's birthday, and to pick up our granddog. He will be staying with us up here through the long weekend while DS2 and DGF head to Gainsville to see UMASS get clobbered by FLORIDA.
Over the weekend, our assoc will have our usual Labor Day weekend pot luck at the beach and DH will do his DJ gig for everyone's musical pleasure. We are also trying to convince the spry 91 year old mother of one of our neighbors here to bring her fiddle to play some of her music.
I'm still unsure about what to make for the potluck....people always go for the lasagna type dishes. Hmmm...
-
Lacey, such an inspiration you are. Lunch was homemade BLT's.... I had some bacon sliced just a bit thicker this time and the bacon, tomato, lettuce and bread proportions were perfect. Some of the best BLT bites yet this year!
*susan*

Susan, I sure hope that you can use local zoning regs to get revenge on your stupid and vindictive neighbor. Wonder if there’s legal action to be taken for posting false information on real estate websites--invasion of privacy certainly comes to mind. First some idiot makes your address a Poke stop and now this. UGH. More evidence of the selfishness and immaturity of the “Me Generation.” (I take it that your neighbors are either Gen-Xers or millennials).
April, my first Springsteen concert was also Gordy’s first--on the “Born in the USA” tour in summer 1984. Gordy only got to hear, not see, Bruce, though--he was in utero at the time (but danced inside me--every time the music stopped or got quieter the kicking started). We’ve caught every one of his concerts in Chicago (some on multiple nights) since then, except for the 1987 “Tunnel of Love” tour when we were out of town. My biggest regret is that I never got to see the 1980 concert he did at the Uptown Theatre....in my neighborhood! The Uptown has since closed, with numerous attempts at renovating it being scuttled. Looks like it’s gone for good this time.
During “Backstreets,” Gordy looked at his phone (he was actively Tweeting live updates) for a weather report, as storms had been forecast. Imagine his shock when his Android weather app gave our location as “East Rutherford, NJ!” Guess that according to the cosmos, any place you are when seeing the Boss play live is Giants Stadium.
Slept in gloriously late today. Gathered some chives & thyme from the garden, grated some gruyere and cracked two double-yolk eggs and had a lovely rolled French omelet. (Still can’t get the hang of avoiding some slight browning of the outside--delicious, but it would have earned me an F in culinary school). Have a major Whole Paycheck trip today--too extensive for me to just take the rolling crate cart and walk. Running out of all sorts of healthful stuff--need some more tender green veggies, shiratake noodles, zucchini and a fresh protein to cook tonight. And we have only six little tomatoes ripe enough to eat--the green ones on the sill won’t yet be edible (except for pickling or breading & frying) for at least another week or more. Might actually have to buy a ripe tomato this weekend.
-
Cannoli bites. Aren't they cute?
-
Yes they are! Very cute... not deep fried like a cannoli though, am I right? *susan*
-
Yum! I will think of them as I eat my desert of a fresh fig and a square of dark chocolate.
Was going to nuke some Buffalo wings from the freezer, because my nails are a disaster area and my mani-pedi is tomorrow morning. But as I was at Whole Foods I saw they had fresh California halibut, so I changed dinner plans. Got some spiralized butternut squash “noodles," which I sauteed in garlic-ginger oil. Then came snap peas. As to the halibut, I brushed it with Thai ginger marinade and pan-seared it. Bob put a bottle of 2010 Jovino Willamette Valley Pinot Gris in the fridge to chill, so I poured myself 2 oz. of it to savor.
No real breakfast tomorrow--maybe a soft-boiled egg & black coffee if I have time. Right after my mani-pedi I have my physical, MRSA nasal swab, EKG and blood test (and perhaps flu & Pneumovax shots--one’s gonna have to be in the booty, as you can’t put them both in the same arm) for both my cataract and thumb surgeries. Might not have sufficient time to, uh “empty out” before my weigh-in. 193 this aft., but if I haven’t gone yet, I could be as much as 2-3 lbs. heavier. And my PCP will hit the ceiling when he sees the bruises on my arm from the Zometa IV stabs--he didn’t want me taking any bone drugs.
-
Susan, I had a very acceptable BLT atthe 104 Diner tonight before the show, but I know that yours would wildly eclipse it! I would never have guessed that I would be such a BLT seeker five years ago! So satisfying....and I am happy for you, Susan, that you enjoyed yours after such a stressful time yesterday. Still speechless about that realtor business. But ewwww!!!
Nance, so glad to see your baking efforts.
Delightful little treats!We were again entertained and riveted tonightby the Winni Playhouse cast's performance of Cabaret. So much cast talent across three domains, high energy, and powerful deluvery of meaning. Glad we went to see it again.
-
I would love a BLT. I have great bacon, nice butter-leaf lettuce, a fine avocado and perfect tomatoes. Unfortunately, I had to toss my low-carb bread today because it was turning into a penicillium farm; and Whole Foods won't get a new shipment in until tomorrow.
-
Chi, while I love the idea of butter-leaf lettuce on my BLT (and in fact had green leaf lettuce on mine this evening), J. Kenji Lopez-Alt insists, in his recent column about BLTs,that it must be (nutritional horrors!) iceburg or the innerds of romaine for the crisp effect. I'm on the fence about that.
But do get yourself some acceptable bread and make one!
-
Innards of romaine, okay. But iceberg? Ugh. Good only for lining bamboo steamers or shredding over tacos....bad tacos. I usually make my BLTs with either the green part of the romaine leaf (the white part goes in Caesar salad) or my fave--red-leaf lettuce. Call me a heretic....I prefer the toast to be ultra-whole-wheat, but not country wheat because it’s too chewy (the gluten that makes it glorious for tearing hunks off a loaf also makes it a challenge for using as sandwich toast). And though I like aioli, I am too lazy to make it for sandwiches--so I use either good mayo or even sliced ripe fresh avocado or a mild guac. But I must confess that one of my favorite sandwiches is tuna salad (savory, not sweet) on seeded rye bread (not toast) with lettuce, tomato and onion--red, white or sweet. Or shrimp salad on a Kaiser. (My Brooklyn childhood is resurfacing). Or deep-fried softshell crab on French bread, in Baltimore; or (be still, my heart) a perfect oyster po’boy, in New Orleans. (The bread anywhere else just isn’t the same).

I didn't make dinner last night - DD had take out that she brought home, DH was not hungry due to eating a very late lunch, and I had my new exercise class and did not get home until 8. I did make some chicken salad from skin-on/bone-in breasts I had roasted earlier in the day for everyone's lunch and cut up a ripe mango for DD. I was looking for something in the fridge and created a disaster on the floor - a full glass bottle of 100% cranberry juice and a full glass bottle of Greek dressing fell and broke on the tile floor - and went under the fridge. And everywhere else. Broken glass, dark red juice that stains, and slippery dressing - eeeeeks! Finally got it cleaned up, but it was a pain in the you know what! The floor is now super clean because I had to bleach the grout, lol! My fridge has cabinetry built around it - it is hard to pull out - had to drag DH out of bed. DD, who is not particularly domestically inclined, was instrumental in helping and even cleaned the top of the fridge while it was out!
auntie - the cannoli tartlets are adorbs!

Susan I had a neighbor at my house in Atlanta who build a huge back porch overlooking my entire back yard. My yard was very pretty and deep and hers overlooked another neighbor who had plastic toys strewn all over her yard she then proceeded to entertain people facing my yard I had no privacy I planted big trees that ended up being huge over 40 feet tall that blocked her I was also tempted to put on rap music and leave and 2 innocently have SpongeBob kites or worse stuck in the trees permanently or do other passive-aggressive things
For dinner cheese sandwiches I need 5 of them for lunch this week and froze them but because I can't keep my hands off cheese I ate them all

Here is the real estate person who usurped my address. I will remind you that this is taken from her professional website. What do you think she is selling?
skanky real estate broker- close quickly
And since I want to give you something nicer to view after burning your retinas, Olivia came to hang with her grands today. It was a lovely day with her, though the stress of turning over the upstairs room just about did me in! Morning folks left late, and the afternoon folks showed up 2 1/2 hrs early!
I love BLT's as a lettuce wrap actually. The bread isn't really needed. We use Galese lettuce which I think is far better than either romaine or iceberg. Dinner tonight is the last of the smoked chicken, a cauliflower gratin, and the black bean/corn salsa. Nope. They don't really go together, but that is what we have the energy to manage tonight. We have been Olivia-ized and AirBNB-ized. Start cycle 12 in the morning.
*susan*
-
Susan - you've got to be kidding. What a hoot!!! Olivia is a much nicer view. Good luck with Cycle 12.
Bedo - I love your retaliation story. I have a total idiot for a neighbor & I'll try to remember to share some stories later. Houston doesn't have ANY zoning, so each neighborhood has to write deed restrictions, get them passed by all the neighbors and then enforce them through their own attorney. Yuck.
-
Holy crap! What kind of a business woman is that??????? Olivia is so much better on the eyes. She is gorgeous!
Minus, no zoning at all????? That is very odd. CT is so strict with zoning. Wow!
We are having chicken piccata with baked sweet potato and string beans. Easy and quick for a weeknight as chicken breasts cook nice and fast.
-
Yikes. :-(

she is a realtor??? I must be the most naive or dumb person on the face of the Earth because I do not understand
I made the best shrimp ever by following a recipe that I found online and will have them for dinner. It explained how to boil them and I am eating them with cocktail sauce which I also learned how to make, it's only horseradish and lemon and ketchup in it's easy version. who knew? Accept all of you! Thrifty me. I will be making a ton of it since I have a "barrel" of ketchup
PS I am not kidding about explaining the best way to cook them in water on the stove top.
-
Somehow I got unsubscribed from this thread. That hasn't happened for a while.
Susan, the Canolli shells are baked. Sort of a crunchy pie crust texture. The taste was pretty close though.
Ah Olivia, what a little ray of sunshine!
Sandy, best of luck tomorrow. Wait - today!
I mostly agree about lettuce but I'm with Kenji about the blt and there's nothing like a good wedge salad (crunch) with iceberg. Those are about my iceberg limits. Unfortunately, iceberg is DH's fave.
Tomorrow we see dad on his 90th birthday. I'm taking him a raspberry custard pie. He's not a cake guy. Fortunately, I take after my mother.
-
Whoops. Tomorrow is the start of cycle 11B, not 12. Sorry 'bout that.
*susan*

Raspberry custard mini pie
-
See? That just isn't fair to post something like this! Wow!

At the back of the fridge today I found four slices of low-carb bread (2gm net per slice). So I took my last ripe full-size tomato, some butter lettuce, a ripe avocado and a couple of thick slices of bacon and made a wonderful BLT. (I really like a “schmear” of fresh avocado. with a squeeze of lemon, to mayo on a BLT, and it’s probably a lot better for me). Off to pick up a fresh low-carb loaf, a couple of ripe heirloom tomatoes, and something hot for tonight (chicken legs? pulled pork?) for dinner.
Good day at the primary’s office today. The nurse found a vein (albeit on my hand) for the blood draw, and I already have my results back: all utterly normal. (I would be tempted to say “astonishingly excellent,” but not on this thread). BP and O2 sats normal. Good CBC--not anemic. Glucose 93 (semi-fasting). Not sure about my lipids--since a lipid panel wasn’t requested by either my eye or hand surgeon. I will assume my HDLs haven’t gone down much (they were 95), but neither has my total (303), so I will have to be a bit more careful about the carbs (which, believe it or not, raise LDLs & triglycerides as much as they do blood sugar). No anomalies on EKG, no murmurs, lungs clear. Best thing, though, is that my weight has held steady since finishing the three days of Lasix I took for the edema I developed en route home from Italy. My MO was happy two weeks ago, and my PCP is happy today.
-
What a wonderful birthday pie, Nance! Happy 90th to your dad.
Love Olivia's little pix, Susan. Adorableness! Good luck with this next cycle!
We are again home....while I am not eager for the laziness of this summer to end (and I have certainly been L-A-Z-Y!), I am rather tired of racing up and down the highway. We try to return here at night to avoid traffic, but it is still tiring for this driver who is trying to avoid cataract surgery, and is reminded she is close to needing it when driving highway trips at night.
Before we left, I had to figure out what to make for dinner given the paltry state of ingredients in our refridge. Oh, the beloved egg! I sauteed a bunch of veggies and made a frittata, nuked a singular sweet potato for DH and sliced up two absolutely "sugar laden" local tomatoes, decorating them with some chiffonade of basil and a balsamic drizzle. It was just perfect before packing up the car and going.
On way home, DS2 texted to see if I definitely wanted lobster at tomorrow's dinner, or something else. Since I know that DGF does not eat seafood, I had DH (who was the texter while I drove:) ask what she was having....london broil. Fine, I'd have that, too, if it made sense for "balance" (actually trying not to leave DGF feeling like the outlier eater that she is when with us). DS2 commented that DH would be taking a lot of lobster meat home then. So, I said...well if you have already purchased enough lobsters, I'll have one. Turns out, his boss, who lives on the North Shore, fishes and traps lobsters is giving him a bunch for our dinner. I guess DS2 will feel less annoyed about how little work this guy does at the firm. LOL! On the other hand, I never had a boss who gave me lobsters, sea bass, bluefish, etc!! Special,you probably get such good stuff fom DD.
.So, if there really is a lot of lobster leftover, maybe I can freeze some and make a dish for the potluck on Saturday with lobster in it. That would be a nice treat. We'll see how it goes.
I am going to break my awful nightowl habit and get to bed earlier tonight since I'm really tired now.....
Chi, so glad for your "astonishingly excellent" results!

The real estate agent picture was weird. I would have to be dead and someone dress me up in either that or the male equivalent "clothes". It wouldn't matter if it were a non-professional site..and even "back in the day" I didn't do that kind of stuff.
Olivia is tops on the list of nice images, sorry Nance, but your custard pie comes in second! :-)
DD seems to be enjoying the college experience (doing the rush thing with a couple of sororities) as well as apparently studying hard. I called today to say hi, and, "Dad, I'm in the middle of homework. I'm on a roll and don't want to lose it." I don't think it's a "that's what he wants to hear thing" as she is pretty driven. I remember enjoying college most of the time. The differing daily schedules, the ability to leave when I was done with a class, and the free time between classes (could get a head start on the evening's homework) were all nice. Anyway, the other day when I talked with her, these were all things she mentioned as liking.
One suite mate (two rooms, each with two girls and a common bathroom) started out a bit crazy, but DD said she calmed down after an unremembered call home to her parents, followed by an all day session with a trash can.
DD also managed to get a parking ticket for parking on a sidewalk. She took a picture of her car with her phone and sent the picture to me. I looked up the ordinance mentioned on the parking ticket and while the ticket was legitimate according to the city ordinance, I think the ordinance is a bit weird. DD had her car tires a couple of inches from the vertical part of the curb, just like I taught her to park and that put her tires in the gutter, which, according to the ordinance, is part of the sidewalk. $44.

I used to have a boss at my law office in Bellevue, WA who regularly gave me rockfish (Pacific black cod).....as my Christmas bonus. And he had a little habit of going fishing and sticking me with his traffic court call...without notice. In fact, I came into work one Friday morning in a casual “big shirt” dress and cork sandals, celebrating being able to kick back & relax, after spending weeks working on an appellate brief, while he got to argue the appeal in Seattle. Surprise--there he was in Bermudas & a Hawaiian shirt. “Good,” he said, “I just got new downriggers for my boat.” (Downriggers that he bought with the 30% contingent fee we collected on a personal injury case in which I brought in the client and did every stitch of the work, including the negotiations). “I’m going fishing. You argue the appeal.” When I protested, he said “you wrote the brief, just argue what you wrote. Heck, you’re wearing a dress. That’s good enough.” To think I almost bought into partnership with this jerk--in retrospect, Bob matching for his residency at UIC probably saved my life, or at least kept me from a malpractice suit or disciplinary action.
I had been wondering what to eat for a late dinner--I dawdled too long over a cappuccino to make it to Whole Foods--when Bob called from B’way Cellars at 9:30. “Guess what--the kitchen’s open. BBQ half-chicken is the entree special. Want it?” I agreed enthusiastically--I almost brought home something similar from WF’s hot bar. I had the dark quarter (wiped off as much of the BBQ sauce as I could, with the halved seared Brussels sprouts (nice big ones) and a side of sauteed spinach. It also came with baked beans & cornbread, so I left those and the breast quarter for Gordy when he gets home from rehearsal (assuming he doesn’t want to eat his leftover order-out biryani & naan from late last night). I Coravin-ed a 2011 Maryhill Zinfandel--far better match for BBQ than either the Pinot Gris in the fridge or the Jean Farris Pinot Noir I Coravin-ed earlier. 4 oz., and I am savoring every drop.
Tomorrow is the Holy Cross Hosp. golf outing. Neither of us commit attempted golf. But the dinner will be at Pinstripes Bowling Alley & Grill in Oak Brook, so we’ll go to that. As I recall from last year, there were good antipasti and a decent sea bass entree. Long drive there & back, so strictly iced tea for me. Thursday night is B’way Cellars’ Zinfest tasting and BBQ--including ribs, brisket, pulled pork, slaw, grilled sweet potatoes, salads (and desserts that I will try to ignore). We’ll walk to that, of course.

Nance so beautiful! I bet it tasted great and your dad loved it
Eric soon you will be getting those send me money!!! Letters then she will arrive home with 8 weeks of laundry I once did laundry non-stop for my daughter and her boyfriend for 48 hours
Lacey you cannot have too much Lobster
I have discovered the obvious. Apparently you really can take hard boiled eggs and put them in leftover pickle juice and make pickled eggs. I saw a lot of people commenting on the same on the internet so I am going to do it
I think that tonight I will have corn on the cob and a tomato sandwich on white bread with mayo salt and pepper I know that I am the worst cook here I guess I wouldn't call it cooking but I like reading all your recipes
