Better Weather Thursday!
Well,it's leftovers of Justjakesmom's Cheesey Sour Cream Potatoes with Ham. Looking forward to it!


RE: Better Weather Thursday!
It's still dripping here. We seem to be in an every other day on again off again rain cycle. Just can't get any outside work done like that. I've been tasked to level out the acre property around the house which has about a 6 foot tilt side to side and front to back. First things first. Have to get the telephone wire moved. So waiting on the service guy today and you know how that goes. Going to try to get him to string the wire overhead with the power line. It will get it out of the way of the earthmoving tools and also just might clear up my slow transmission troubles with the computer. I'm suspecting the line gets wet enough to bog down the download rate.

Making some BLT burritos with a slivers of chicken breast meat coated with a ginger mustard glaze. Got to go check my flour tortillas for any mold. They have been sitting in the fridge for a while. If bad I can whip up a loaf of bread. Have the glaze already to go. Tapped out the soy sauce so it goes on the shopping list. Eventually will make that trip to the store to pick up med's and supplies after all the things to do around the house gets done.

Guess I can get started stimulating the chicken boobies while waiting on the service guy.

Not sure about dinner tonight. Had stew meat with gravy and rice last night. I asked McKenna (3 3/4 yr) what she wanted for dinner and she said, cucumber, apples, strawberries and grapes. Can you tell she doesn't like meat? I don't think that will go over so well with the rest of the family. Going to Costco to get Halloween candy so maybe I will get inspired there.


RE: Better Weather Thursday!
I go to BJ's Patti. I always get inspired!


RE: Better Weather Thursday!
We don't have a BJ's here only Sam's and Costco. I belong to both of them but usually end up at Costco. They send out coupons.


RE: Better Weather Thursday!
I work for BJ's corporate. Know you don't have them there. Don't have Sam's or Costco nearby but BJ's does send out coupons. Always spend more than I plan there.


RE: Better Weather Thursday!
Well---the hubbs is working an extra job today and won't be home until 10 tonight. Bratchild is going to be home, however.

I'm thinking I'll go to the store today and get a few things, black pepper being one of them, LOL. I don't know how to cook without it!

Going to make LeClare's flatbread tacos. Can't wait to try them!

RE: Better Weather Thursday!
Anxious to see what you think of them Knox!!


RE: Better Weather Thursday!
Rachel is home sick, thought she might have H1N1 someone in her class has it. she has all the symptoms except the fever. Took her to the doc and she said that is probably viral. Since no fever. Hope she feels better to trick or treat,
haven't decided on whats for dinner yet. Loving my new cookbook so will probably pick something out of that. I will post if it comes out good.


RE: Better Weather Thursday!
Laurie,you are so impressed with your new cookbook that I ordered it. Looking forward to it. Hope Rachel feel well for Halloween.


RE: Better Weather Thursday!
I like it because I am always on the run, and all the dinners are 20 minutes & are stuff you usually have in the house. I got mine at the used bookstore for $1.00 and a second cook book free with that purchase BUT couldn't find one recipe that I liked out of the other cook book, oh well at least it was free.
PS is it bad to read a cookbook while your on the treadmill at the gym? the good thing is that I got so engrossed in the recipes that I did the treadmill for 45 minutes LOL
and for those of you that didn't catch the name of the cookbook it is Desperation Dinners by Beverly Mills & Alicia Ross.


RE: Better Weather Thursday!
I got mine at Amazon for $3 and change but had other things so free shipping. Looking forward to it. At my age ,my running days with the kids are gone but a quick dinner when I am tired after work is great.


RE: Better Weather Thursday!
BLT burritos came out good. Stuffed a chicken breast strip in each of them. Used NOTYO's teriyaki honey mustard glaze on the chicken.

Still waiting on the telephone repair guy. It's pouring rain. Do you think he's coming today?


RE: Better Weather Thursday!
Laurie - I got the Desperation Entertaining cookbook by the same two women for Christmas last year. It's a good one, I've posted a few of the recipes I've tried.

Hope your daughter feels better. Hillary's Flu test came back negative - the dr was sure that was what she had - and the H1N1 was negative as well. It was viral. She's been in the bed since last Sat. Headache, bodyaches, no fever, was slightly congested but that part is better.

Those BLT burritos have been sounding good. Mother Hubbards cupboard is bare, but, I have the stuff to do the tortilla blts (posted) so that will be it tonight. Probably some chips and salsa to go with.


RE: Better Weather Thursday!
Well, now I'm thinking I want BLT's!!!!

The day started off with me not getting my coffee until 4 hours after I got up....Not good...Actually took a cup with me to the doctors so I could have it after I got my bloodwork done...LOL....Still trying to catch up and it's not working....I have absolutely no energy today.....Think I might have to have another cup of coffee soon....LOL

Having some kind of pork chops tonight....


RE: Better Weather Thursday!
I got dressed y'all! Still not a 100% and taking it slow but am so glad to be on my way out of it...

I haven't had pork chops in a while...was thinking of making spaghetti but might go pull some chops out. Karma's birthday so I'm sure she will want spaghetti. We will have cake and probably pizza tomorrow.

OK...I swore I had something else to say but have lost it. LOL


RE: Better Weather Thursday!
Wynne I hate when I don't get my morning cup of coffee, means a bad headache for me.
tonights dinner is going to be Real-Life lasagna from the cookbook (glad you got a good deal too) I will post it if it comes out good.
Rachel is up and about so she is feeling better.
Has anyone ever taken Melatonan? my youngest can't fall asleep & the doctor suggested it. I gave it to her last night and she fell asleep within a half an hour. She said she got an awesome nights sleep & was very happy in the morning.


RE: Better Weather Thursday!
Will have to check out the Depsperation Entertaining cookbook too. By the way Laurie,it was me that ordered it not Wynne.


RE: Better Weather Thursday!
Isn't melatonan the stuff in the pigment of skin?


RE: Better Weather Thursday!
LOL.....I get a headache too, Laurie....and I have taken melatonin per doctors suggestion. It's a hormone one produces to regulate waking and sleeping cycles....and if we don't produce enough, we have difficulty sleeping or staying asleep...That's why doctors usually suggest it first before prescribing sleep medications....Happy to hear it worked for her.

Glad you're on the mend, Ang...Happy Birthday to Karma!!


RE: Better Weather Thursday!
Ang, fglad to see you doing better. Laurie,glad Rachel seems to feel better and Lori hope Hillary is up and about soon.

Wynne,when you get your energy back,don't forget to post Chicken and Dumplings. LOL!


RE: Better Weather Thursday!
Ooooh... Caffeine headaches are the worst! (Well, make that LACK of Caffeine headaches). I haven't had ANY caffiene today...not by choice...can't wait to get home and get that diet mtn dew.

Glad the little one is feeling better, Laurie.

Good to see you feeling better, Ang!!


RE: Better Weather Thursday!
Premature submitting again...

Points, Melanin is in skin pigment. Pretty darn close, huh?


RE: Better Weather Thursday!
pleclare I was talking to you couldn't you tell LOL
I posted the Real Life Lasagna. wow was it a hit, I wasn't to sure because it calls for cottage cheese not ricotta. Rachel who never has two helpings of anything (even dessert) had two helpings and licked both plates clean. Pretty good for a sick kid. The whole family said it needs to be added to the rotation.


RE: Better Weather Thursday!
Reread your post. Yes,I see now. You have been happy with everthing out of it so far. This one sounds like a keeper!!
