Tonight is trick or treating at our local Wegmans Grocery Store.... SO.... dinner will be on the fly again... what else have you come to expect from the S house? LOL......
Good morning everyone. It's always wonderful visiting this thread and reading all the great recipes. Tonight we'll have a choice between sausage and peppers with pasta or chicken. Tonight is my wife's last class (in this cycle) so the pre-prepared dinners will end for a while.
It's a chilly morning in south-central Wisconsin; I can always tell what the weather is like outside by how importunate the grandkitty is about occupying my lap. This morning, he followed me around meowing until I sat down and opened up the computer, whereupon he immediately hopped up and made himself at home, purring like a mad thing. I know that when I evict him to head out for work, he'll head straight for the wool blanket on top of my bed where he'll burrow in and make himself a nest for the day. Oh, to be a cat.... but then, I couldn't have fun cooking, could I?
Supper tonight will probably involve chicken and the leftover bean soup from Saturday, although that is subject to change. At least both the spouse and I will be at home to enjoy it together, so no matter what it turns out to be, it'll be in good company. Not sure whether the daughter will join us or not; she's in a frenzy of packing for her anticipated move to an apartment with her sig-other, and has been a bit stressed of late. Not that she's the only one, of course; I haven't been able to walk across my living room for the past couple of weeks because of the stack of her boxes in the middle of the room, and I'm starting to get a mite twitchy. Love that girl dearly, but it is high time for her to be out on her own. Just a few more days, just a few more days.....
Well the tri tip got put on hold last night so I guess it's on the menu for tonight... The upside is I don't have to come up with anything! I do have to go through the freezer in the garage and figure out what needs to be cooked up soon. If I remember right I do have a pork butt in there that is going to give itself to my favorite.. Carnitas!
What wonderful news ajzjmsmom...so happy for you and your family!
I got woke up this morning at 4:30am with a frantic call from my daughter in CA, Amber. Guess my grandson was trying to crawl in their bed at 1:30am and slipped and fell and hit his lower lip on the bed frame. Eight stiches later he is now home and resting---bless his little heart. Amber and I talked for 2 hours...finally ended up with a little laughing talking about her accidents as a small child and all her stiches..and she had lots of stiches. She was a very active child with a very active brother! Anyhow this is going to be a very loong day.
I don't envy you lacey for the upcoming challenges dealing with hubby and changes. But he knows how badly he has felt so he just may comply a little easier then yiou would suspect. Let's hope so.
Anyhow, good morning everyone! As far as what might be for dinner--that is the last thing on my mind right now so I'll have to come back later when I get that figured out.

Oooohh, poor grandson! And poor Amber; those inevitable accidents are almost harder on mama than they are on the kiddo. I don't think there are many kids who haven't taken a tumble at one time or another and wound up with stitches or a cast, but that doesn't make any difference in how the parents feel about it.
Amber, don't beat yourself up about it! He'll be fine, and so will you, and you're not a bad mom. Take care today, and just think what a great start he's got on his Hallowe'en costume!
Amber is a great mom. Her hubby is a great father and yes, these are all things that happen with our babies/children through those growing years. I'll have to admit that when that phone rang at the time of the early morning I just knew it wasn't good news. It scares me so much that I live a good 8 hours even if I had an airline ticket in my hand. By the time I drive to the airport, fly to CA and then get to her house.....it's just to far! I'll let Amber fill everyone in on how the baby is doing today if she gets a chance to get on here today. I'm guessing this will be a very long day for her too. I know she isn't going to work because she told me she already called her boss and explained the situation.
The other day I cooked up some beautiful fresh kale--but made it very plain in keeping with my diet....it really was not as good as usual.....this morning I am cooking the rest of it....with a little onion and linguica sausage.....for supper tonight.....I am sure it will be much better. I believe we will have meat loaf with it......so it will be portion control for me....not an inately low cal menu. I can do that.
