SUPPER CLUB - Monday, Oct 12th

Good Morning. Well, Seahawk Sunday turned into Mournful Monday. At 24-7, we should have had that game in the bag. But it doesn't pay to get too confident - especially in football!

BECCA - glad you aren't having much damage from your rain. We have maple and alder trees which lose their leaves in the fall. But most of our trees are firs, hemlocks, and cedars which are all evergreen. Though cedars do 'shed' a lot.
I texted Carole and asked if her DD and family who live in SC were OK. This is the DD who has the crazy 'ex'. She said the house is on high ground so she isn't flooded, but all around her is and she couldn't get out of the house for several days.

CHICKIE - fajitas sounded like a good dinner to me! And you were making some of your tasty salsa? Yum!! I might have to casually stop by for a visit . . . .

CAROL - When it's so hot, I use my crockpot or toaster oven out on the deck to do the cooking. But that's not usually a big problem here!

IRISH - I hope you found something tasty amongst those cans to feed your hungry man! We are trying to eat up our biggest food from the freezer. Our ice-maker stopped working. Bill says he can see it's clogged with ice up inside but he can't get to it. So we want to turn off the fridge for a night, let it melt, and then hopefully things will fix themselves. We have a garage fridge we can move things to during 'the operation', but it won't hold everything so we have to put it all somewhere. He settled on my hips . . .

As for our supper - we have some leftover soup, though that may be lunch today. I think I'll take out the pork roast. We have homemade applesauce in the fridge, and some salad and a veggie yet to be named should finish us off. and the last of the ice cream. This will make a big dent in the freezer contents! And I also have a loaf of bread to take out to thaw. By golly, I think we'll be able to fit it all into the other freezer now! The fridge contents won't be a problem - they will fit fine. Now we have our entertainment planned for the day as well as our supper!

Halloween is coming - time to dust off that cauldron and conjure up something eye(ball)-catching!

Mary--I hope to have salsa for you next time you come! I didn't have loads of tomatoes this year, so no marinara and only one small batch of salsa this year. The fajitas were yummy! Now, I really need to think of something for tonight... I would come help you clean out your refrigerator and enjoy your dinner with you! I know ALL about the "once on the lips..."--story of my life! (Just how big can those hips of mine get???)

I don't think there will be any cool weather here for several days--looks like 80s for highs; yesterday was 86. I know this doesn't compare to California, but it is warm for here.

Guess I will go out to the freezer and see what I can find there for inspiration. I think it might be a lasagna... I could even make a loaf of bread and add a salad... By George, I think I've got it!!! Enjoy!

Mary and Chickie, your suppers sound yummy! :-) Now that we are kid free again and I've had a good nights sleep I'll be getting back to eating healthier again. So tonight will be Carne Asada, Frankie can have tacos and I'll have mine wrapped in lettuce :-)
I'm supposed to have 5 weeks off from babysitting (you notice that word supposed) so I'm hoping to get a bunch of sewing done. My house is fairly clean so just a swipe and a swish here and there should keep it up, here's hoping anyway :-)

Good morning from a very sunny, but still chilly, SW. Pa...Chilly, by my standards is anything below 75, lol....I haven't poked my nose outside but it does look good out there....I'll venture out later....

Mary, in this house, if you go hungry, it's your own fault...It might not always be a big fancy meal but there's always something, sometimes too much....Hate to hear about freezer problems...We had to have the repair person come and put in a new motor for our's, not happy....And also sorry about your Seahawks...Would you believe, our TV didn't get turned on yesterday....I read and Jim had a very long nap...Of course when Jim woke up, he thought it was the next day, wondered if the coffee was ready and had a hard time understanding that it was still Sunday...I was thinking, as I start to get more like Jim (memory wise) neither one of us will know what day it is and probably won't care......

Chickie, how well I know that little ditty...Sometimes I don't think it even has to pass my lips, I just need to walk passed and it attaches to the hips.....Could you or Carol send some of that heat my way..Or maybe bottle it up and send it in January.....

Well, ladies, guess who was just here????? AND wearing his shorts....Even made a remark about Fall coming and this might be the last "short" week......Nice, nice fellow...His daughter and 1 of my DGSs are both Pgh. city police people....

And with that, on to dinner...I have chicken cooking and hopefully sometime today, it will turn into soup...Thought that would soothe a scratchy throat....And just might have to bake something...The young couple next door have an anniversary tomorrow and might like something from the oven......

Happy day and happy eating.................

Good morning!

Beautiful outside, but cold!

Those chocolate cookies I made the other day were not so good. Had a bitter taste, so I may tweak the type of chocolate and try again.

Dinner - too much time on Pinterest ! found a hashbrown sausage cassarole that I am trying for tonight's dinner. Will let you know how it comes out. Has great ingredients.

Enjoy,
Jana

Today after school I had my annual physical. A 3:00 appointment, school gets out at 1:30 on Monday. I did not leave the Doctor's office until 4:30 and did not get home until 5:15. I visited the freezer and we had pot pies. We turned on the oven and I moved the fans. It is hot, but cooler than yesterday. Trouble is it isn't cooling off this evening. Oh well! Physical came out fine. I do need more Vitamin D though. Seems they changed how much we need.

Irish - Could you give me the directions or tell me where I could find them about bottling the heat? I would gladly send this heat to you!

Chickie - Glad you got inspired!

Maryz - We all come up with ways to cope with cooking in the heat.

Jana - Sorry the chocolate recipe did not turn out well.

Tina - Sure hope you get a break from babysitting. Too much of a good thing!

Becca - So glad you are feeling better!
