Oh, I'm so glad to hear from Cyn today, and to know that Kats' mom's surgery went so well! That's great news to come home to on a Monday evening. And Noma, we're all proud of you that you didn't burn anything today; I know you're enjoying that corned beast tonight. We'll be joining you in about 24 hours.
It's so warm here today that I tossed my jacket in the back seat when I got out to the car; couldn't stand the thought of being cooped up in it on the way home. I've got a couple of daffodil clumps starting to emerge, and I can see a few tulip leaves poking up, but I'm still awaiting the debut of the hyacinths. Those are my favorites; they scent the air for yards around, and make such a riot of color splashing along the edge of the walkway. Ah, well, it's early yet, not even the first day of spring. I'm sure they'll emerge soon.
Still trying to decide what I want for supper from my favorite Chinese restaurant. The very importunate and insistent Mr. Tuxedo is crawling all over me, purring in my ear and whispering "shrimp, get something with shrimp," but I'm not sure that I want to fight him for my supper, which is generally what happens any time I bring home shrimp. I had lunch pretty late, so haven't really started getting hungry yet, which I am told means that I shouldn't eat yet. Though if I wait too late, I won't sleep well.... hmmm. Decisions, decisions. Will mull it over a bit longer and then make a choice.
cyn glad you will be seeing amber some more while she is here. Any chance you can get a family Sunday dinner in while she is there?
Kats glad your mom got along well with her surgery.
Nomad I am very proud of you for minding the cooking today~~great job!
Well DD went off to her swim meet I thought it was a home meet. Too far from here to get another kid to their practice so I stayed home tonight. She will have another meet this week I will go to.
Stopped at the big town store today to pick up corned beef and cabbage! All this talk I just couldn't go without making it so that will be supper tomorrow night. Oh wait we have a band concert then maybe it will be Wed night. Have to think on it.
We had friends coming over for their birthday dinner Sat. night. The menu was written down & planned. We have a tradition, birthday people pick what dinner they want. My one friend wanted eggplant parm, the other, chicken parm. Now we all know here at Cyn's table that kelsie cannot bake. I went to our pastry shop and bought, cannoli, eggclairs, cheesecake, tiramisu, raspberry tortes. With dessert & food shopping completed, it was time to go home and start prepping. To free up space in the fridge, I took all of the desserts & placed them in a tray and covered them up. Friday I made the much time consumed eggplant parm., covered the foil tray and put in the fridge to settle for Sats. much anticipated dinner. Sat. morning started cutting up the apps. of stuffed mozzarella & proscuitto, making garlic bread, moz., tomatoes, & fresh basil and started to bread and prepare the chick. parm. DH came home a little early from work to help with the last min. things, my dinner guests were coming at 5:00. At 4:30 I put the chicken parm. in the top oven at 350 degrees. Since the eggplant parm. only had to warm up, I put the steamer tray of water on the bottom rack of the second oven, the eggplant on the top shelf, set the temp to 200 and dinner was taking care of itself. When my friends came I told them that I had a surprise that I baked their birthday desserts, my one friend looked at the other and said, "I am not feeling the love", the other, "that warm & fuzzy feeling just left me". We sat down and proceeded with eating an array of apps. 6:00 I put the water on for the potato Gnocchi. Took the chick. parm. out of the top oven to put more gravy on it & popped it back in the oven. Took the eggplant out to do the same, opened it up and screamed Dead silence in the kitchen as my h came over to me, "what the h--l". With tears streaming down my face, I looked at my friends & said "I really did bake your desserts". Instead of the eggplant I put the entire tray of desserts in the oven and baked them.
After the initial shock and tears, we had the greatest time ever. Dinner turned out delicious, pictures were taken of the dessert tray, we laughed until we couldn't laugh any more. We put the tray in the fridge and a couple hours later we dug in and ate the interesting assortment and laughed more.
You know I will never live this down.
This should go in its forum, "bloopers in the kitchen by kelsie".
Tonight I am doing simple, cheeseburgers, salad, & oven fries.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day. kelsie
Have been under the weather today and I just read this. Thanks Kelsie, I hate to say it but it did make me feel better I am happy that at least you can laugh about it and I'm sure everything else was delish
Here's another one for ya.........we have a second frig in the garage and if I ask my DH to get something out I now have to go back out and do a full check of the area. He has left roasts to name a few on top of the frig when he goes to get something out of the freezer. I usually don't know until I go into the garage and see the "blood" dripping down my frig Now it's out, Murphy lives with me
I tried something new which worked out well and tasted very good. I cooked 3 cheese tortellini and then drained it. I warmed up a package of grilled chicken and added it with some butter and parmesan cheese. Yummy!

And what, pray tell, has MY spouse been doing in YOUR refrigerator??? I cannot count the number of times that I've found that exact same thing on top of our second fridge in the basement, generally after he's put the groceries away downstairs. Meat, eggs, ice cream, you name it.... I've thrown it away many a time.
Murphy may live with you, Bella, but I think his brother is married to me!
Debating between taking the kids out to get burgers and shakes or staying home and making grilled chicken and mashed potatoes.
