I am playing hookey today and I am planning to dedicate a good part of the day to searching and "researching" some more recipes here so I can make a list and get all the ingredients I will need. No excuses. :-)
Do you all plan your menus and have all these wonderful meals pre-planned or do you just come up with these things depending on what you already had at home?
OH... I might take a ride to BBB for those green bags that I didn't get yet. All depends if I want out of the house today. :-)
Catch you all later. It's really time to go back to sleep now. :-)
Tonight is Soy-baked chicken thighs, mashed potatoes and broccoli. Today is my day to make up lists---animals feeding list, last minute shopping list for items needed here, and packing list! Well, the packing list is done I just have to go over it! I am taking my parrot to my friends house for her to watch while we are gone. Need to pick up dry cleaning and just a light clean up and we are ready. Will have to get up at 4:30am tomorrow because our flight leaves at 8:00am and it takes us a good hour to get there depending on traffic. I have no idea how long it takes to get checked in at the airport here so I don't want to take any chances. I was up at 4:00am today just from excitement. The flight is a 7 hour flight stopping in TX on the way--ugh! Once we get to Los Angeles we are driving to Big Bear to my sisters which is a 3 hour drive! I'm thinking we are going to be very tired! The next day we drive another 3 hours to my daughters house for the night and then to the motel close to where the wedding will be which is another 1 1/2 hour drive! Ahhh, the wonders of driving in CA again! To little time for so much to do! But at least I will get to see everyone!! Today I will be in and out but will check in to see all the wonderful dinner ideas and recipes---don't want to miss any more then necessary. I may even check in from my daughters computer in CA to say "hI".
Morning Cyn and VP-Cyn the adrenaline will kick in once you land in CA. No time to be tired!!!
Charlotte airport is beautiful and user friendly. Easiest way is print out your boarding passes, check in at curb and head right to security check. I've done it that way many times and it's so much less stressful.
VP-there are times I plan ahead and sometimes I go by the "seat of my pants." Today could be one of those days.

You sure are a busy gal cyn. I suggest you get to the airport as early as you can as you can always sleep on the plane. We'll all try to keep this thread alive and well for you while you are gone so don't fret over that.
Today I take the "kids" on a field trip to Wrightsville Beach where they will look over the oceanfront fishing pier built in the last few years. It is a chance to see how steel and concrete can blend together to make such a beautiful and useful structure.
Tonight, dinner will be cooked by the chef at Elijah's on the waterfront here in Wilmington. This is the Wilmington, NC website. Click on restaurants...then special...and you will see their menu..... Welcome to Wilmington, North Carolina
morning, y'all! So good to see everyone, Lacey, I wish someone had come and gotten me, but the floor looks beautiful.
VP, I plan out what I am going to make, but that doesnt mean I dont get distracted.
Will be reading what everyone is making, so I can decide, it will be like cooking in a brand-new kitchen!
It sure makes cooking more fun cooking in a new kitchen. I was so lucky because we just put our kitchen in this last year and that's about the itme this thread took off. So not only did I have a new kitchen to cook in but all the great ideas from here to go with it! Best of both worlds.
DH just asked for pork roast, so thats what I am gonna do....... I make a "pesto" of fresh rosemary, olive oil, garlic, s&p, and spread it over the top and bake. Gonna do roasted new potatoes, and sauteed french green beans, I'm hungry already!
made french dip with fries last night. Tonight will do Greek Stewed Chicken
with orozo.
