SUPPER CLUB - Sunday, July 28
Posted: Sun Jul 28, 2019 6:38 am
Good morning!
We have a touch of fall in the air this morning - first morning. I'm not ready yet!!
Yesterday, I got another quilt almost finished on the quilting frame but our friends arrived so another 10 minutes this morning and it will be done. I got another one bound and started putting binding on a third but ran out of thread. I hope to get that done this morning, too. Then I have a niece from CO visiting her brother who lives near Seattle. They are all coming around 11am for thrift shopping and lunch. I don't think Bill or my nephew are invited. They are anchors on an outing like this! So it will be me, my niece, Marcie, and my nephew's wife, Ann. My DDIL, Emily, has to work.
BECCA - out of curiosity, I asked our friends about their lift - it's a seat that glides on a runner up and down the stairs. Insurance did NOT pay for it, but if you have a 'script from the doctor you can deduct it on your taxes - if you itemize. They had to have safety inspections before it could be used. It cost in the neighborhood of $5,000 and he said if you had to turn a corner (they didn't) it would be triple that. If you check e-Bay and Craig's list you could probably find one a used one a whole lot cheaper.
JANA - I bet the little girls LOVED sleeping in a tent! I always did when I was little (and big!
), and so did my kids. I did use the fresh puff pastry yesterday and it turned out pretty good, but I prefer the Pepperidge Farm frozen. It's much thinner and there are two sheets in the package. This new stuff is one thick sheet and had to be rolled. But it's really hard to roll thin enough and still pick it up intact. Consequently, it didn't puff well and was underdone - though still tasty! At least there was none left!
TINA - wasn't that a party!! Looked like everyone had a great time! Tell Frankie next time we go through Deming to save me a dance!!
Not sure about supper tonite. I was planning on making chicken alfredo for us. But I forgot about visitors stopping by so we might go out, we might order pizza, I might make another chix BBQ pizza, or we might skip supper if we go out for lunch. We'll see what happens.
