Quilt in a Day Forums

Happy May Day! I hope there's flowers in your day, even if you have to stroll down the road to stop and smell them!

IRISH - how good to have you back amongst the eating! So sorry to hear of your BIL's complications. Sounds like your support role isn't over yet. I'm sure your sister is very grateful to have you standing by. you must both be exhausted. If I had a cooking fairy, I'd be sending her over to your house in a flash, but we all know there's no fairies in MY kitchen!

TINA - I can almost smell all your flowers! And that banned food!! You really need to look the word "banned" up in the dictionary. you don't seem to be grasping the meaning of the word!

GENERAL LADY CAROL - a netful of knaves. When I think about that, I'm not really sure what a 'knave' is! Guess I better get out my own dictionary! I think a 'sentence' of judges is purrfect!

BECCA - what are spring onions? I know regular onions, sweet onions, green onions, scallions, and shallots. But I've never heard of spring onions until - well - until this spring! And only here in Supper club.

CHICKIE - so how was the turnip? lol!

JANA - I might consider a second wife here if she would do all the uglies, the yard work, and the laundry, so I could just sew . . . .

JOANNE - Do you even need to read the menu when you go to Mama's Grill? lol!

Last night my fickle DH changed the pasta menu to BBQ'd chicken and when the chicken didn't thaw fast enough, he changed it again to burgers. His was beef and mine was the Black Bean veggie burgers from Costco. So tonite, we'll toss the chicken on the BBQ. Maybe some packet potatoes/onions/cheese, and a salad. Should be a nice evening to eat out on the deck. I'll pop the chicken into a big Ziplock with some olive oil, garlic, and lemon or lime juice to marinate this afternoon.

What's hitting the plate at your house tonite?

Good Morning Maryz & others,
Beautiful day here. . Yard is calling me but just finished wash & mopping.

Maryz the spring onions are the small onions that come in Spring.You may call them green onions.I prefer them as they are tiny and good in salads.

Tina I can smell your beautiful blossoms.Must be pretty.

Irish I am sure DS is grateful to you for supporting her.Hope he has better days.

DH mentioned pizza so that will be on the menu with salad.He has tons of afters...Becca

LOL Mary you made me and Frankie laugh he can't imagine why you don't like it he says you have such an opportunity to have all sorts of different kinds
Becca, mmmmmmm pizza
Since Mary and Bill are eating on the deck and doing BBQ, we'll follow suit we'll eat in my fragrant backyard under the gazebo it says it's supposed to be a nice day
Tina

Good morning,

Found some tamales in the freezer, steamed them and covered them over with mole sauce - my last from a favorite hangout in California. My neighbor, the airline pilot, had a run to the Bay Area and smuggled me home some in his carry on. Perks of being the Captain!

It is shopping day here - Sarah needs groceries too - part of us helping them save for the new house. But, grilling on the deck and dinner out there will be great - just have to decide on what. Grilled zucchini with Italian seasoning will be part.

Enjoy!
Jana

Since Earl hasn't been in the house this afternoon, to suggest eating out, I will have to cook. lol!

I am stopping back for a quick peek to see what everyone is cooking.
I am always on first thing in the morning (5:30 -6:00am) Too early sometimes to even think about food yet.

It's 4PM now, time to get busy and start banging the pans. LOL
Tonight we are off to go dancing, so I am going to have to get dinner ready a little earlier.

We had pork burgers last night, so I have two left over to reheat for tonight. Fixing a potato and a salad, maybe some broccoli for me (DH doesn't touch it).

You all have some good meals on deck. Makes me hungry. You all will be gone by the time I get my post entered here, but I will check back again tomorrow.

Hugs
Vel
