Quilt in a Day Forums

Good Morning!

We're 28* this morning. But so far, pretty snug in our trailer. But I'm starting to get a wee bit claustrophobic. I'm going to get out some sewing today and then I'll be happier.

IRISH - Our friend is back!!! So happy to see you here with us. I know your 'normal', whatever that is, will be a while coming, but back in our fold again is a tiny step in that direction. Hugs, my dear friend! and how sweet of you to ask about our BECCA, too. She has been ill, but did post on the sew-in yesterday and said she was starting to feel a bit better.

TINA - I saw your sketches for your fall quilt. First let me say, you are an excellent sketcher! I was impressed. And your quilt will be a stunner when finished! I know the high quality of your sewing. Can't wait to see it!

CHICKIE - I can picture Odie all curled up asleep on Gramma's bed! I bet she loves him. If he were with my mom, you might not get him back! Which is what happened to me once when I left a dog, much like Odie, with my mom for a few weeks. We had to get a new dog for ourselves!

JANA - I like your alternative supper last night - baked potatoes. We like them with chili over the top, and then some sour cream, shredded cheddar, and chopped green onion. a feast!

HONEY - smothered pork chops in gravy sound yummy. and oh so southern!

BECCA - I hope you're feeling a bit better today. Maybe some of Irish's soup is what you need.

We have a cooked chicken breast and some dressing left over from last night. I'm thinking of dicing the meat, adding some veggies and saute'd onion, layering it all, and pouring a cream sauce (aka Cream of chicken or mushroom soup!) over it all and baking it. DH loves leftover casseroles. Hopefully it won't grow too big and become leftover leftovers - again.

Hope you're finding something tasty on your plate tonite!

Good morning! We’re having a heat wave—it’s up 4 degrees in an hour! We are only going for 28 with WIND which means COLD. I’d like to stay in all day like I did yesterday.

Mom has never had a dog before. She wasn’t sure about Odie for awhile, but she likes him now and even gives him chicken tidbits or hamburger bites. I was shocked when she did it—so totally out of character for her. So funny! Now Odie sits at her side at meals.

I’m thinking salad, chicken and a potato tonight. I have to go work at the rental unless DH gives me a cold weather reprieve, then it will be tomorrow to go work. I also have an eye exam in town tomorrow afternoon.

Love your casserole idea! My late DH HATED any kind of one dish meal or casserole. Doyal pretty much eats anything that doesn’t eat him first… unless it’s veggies which need to be somewhat disguised. He’ll eat a salad if it’s not too big and gets it out of the way first so he can get to the meat course. Such a guy!

Enjoy dinner!

Mary, you're too kind Thank you. Your supper sounds yummy to me! I've almost lost dogs to Mom and Dad, thank goodness not for real
Chickie, yours sounds good too That is such a cute story about Odie and your mom
I'm not sure what I'll be fixing yet, Frankie asked for beans soon LOL at least they're easy that might be supper, I'll let ya know.

Another very cold morning here in SW. Pa and tomorrow will be even worse.....Very much longing for sun and warm temps but think that will be a long time coming.....

A gal friend called this morning and wanted to do lunch but there was no way I was leaving the house....She had to go out had to have her "grams mammed" or she would have stayed home too...I told her to catch me in the spring.....

Isn't it funny how 1 furry baby can warm the hearts of so many...Chris and Kathy had never had a pet but as soon as Andy started volunteering at the pet shelter, things changed...At the time, Andy had just gotten his 1st apartment and adopted, Gunner, a black lab/mix...Kathy immediately fell in love with her new "fur grand baby"....She said, Andy is not allowed to come home unless he brings Gunner.....

So glad to hear Becca is feeling better....Just too much bad stuff going around.....

This must be chicken day...I'm going to attempt to see if the stove will work and might even come up with chicken ala king...Who knows, if the oven works, I might even mix up a batch of cinnamon rolls..(might)....

Happy eating.............
