skbs my head is spinning just reading your to do post!
cyn I am on well also I dread when things around here break down because I have to call somebody then pay big bucks to get it fixed.
We didn't have our chicken fried steaks last night so that will be supper tonight. We lost track of time putting up Christmas decorations and still don't have the tree up.
Lacey we are in our winter mode so shopping is usually in our freezer or cabinets. Of course I still have to buy fresh fruit, milk but the bulk is here for the feasting through the winter!
I understand and that was my fear yesterday when our well broke down. I know what plummers get to drive out to our place not to even mention the repair once they get here. My DH does a lot of our home repairs but had no ideas about the well. All a person has to do is show him once and he gets it! Not like me! Ha! People out here where we live seem to help each other all the time. Seems they each know someone who knows how to do just about anything! I think they call it survival!!! It's wonderful!!
Christmas shopping, food shopping, school stint, dentists and get the car in the shop. Then have to give my bike a spin, check it and fix it up for a big ride tomorrow - a 24 mile foodie ride! It's part of Edible Austin, promoting the city's Farmers' markets and producers, so we get to stop and sample on the way! Lovely idea
Best cook dinner this morning then! Hope you all have a great day.

Cyn my family understands your situation all too well. My Aunt and Uncle live out in the country near a rock quarry. Unfortunately all the drilling the quarry did, shifted the water table and they lost over the years, count em, 3 wells. Each time they had to drill deeper and deeper. Being a child when all this occurred, I can't imagine what all that costs. You are very lucky your neighbors were able to help.
Back on topic, tonight for dinner, I am thinking sloppy joes. If I get my cleaning done in a timely manner that is. Hubby comes home tonight and he wouldn't be happy to see the shape the house is in right now. If cleaning isn't complete, fish sticks for the kids, and high octane coffee for me. LOL

Thank goodness for good neighbours and clever hubbies!

in shallow pan: put egg mixture in it, add potatoes on top of the egg, scatter the salami/onion/cucumber mix over it all, put a slice of cheese on top and bake till eggs are not liquid anymore. Take out of the pan and fold in half.
Oooooooooooo that sounds good!
I don't recall ever having a dish generally labeled 'peasant food' that I didn't enjoy. Sometimes I'm truly amazed at what a few simple ingredients can yield, really great bread and pirogi being high on that list
Cyn my parents too have well water and that has happened a couple of times to them also.
Great neighbors you have.
Didn't have the scallops last night because we went out. Margaritas were great until I had to get up this morning. Sooooooooooooo scallops tonight.
I have to cut up and marinate 20 lbs. of chicken wings today for our family Xmas party tomorrow. The end product is great but it is a pain as I cut the tips off and cut the wing in half.....
May I ask why you cut the tips off? I've never done that but there's got to be a reason I'm sure...
That gives me an idea I think I've got a big pack of wings in the freezer so maybe that'll be dinner... I bought a few bottles of Quaker Steak and Lube wing sauce online (since the closest one is about 2000 miles away) and we looooove it!
Tonight we are having crispy baked chicken thighs, stir-fried kale, and rice.
