SUPPER CLUB - Tuesday, April 14th
Posted: Tue Apr 14, 2020 6:41 am
Good morning!
I think we're about the only part of the country having pretty weather this week. So sorry for the rest of you. Especially the SE. I spent yesterday morning in my sewing room, going through my stash looking for small pieces and scraps that I tuck into folds of yardage. All for my crazy quilt. Thank you, JANA! I'm still not done with that. Then I was going to work in the yard in the afternoon, but Bill was fixing a hanging light fixture on the deck, had the ladder out asked if there was anything else on the deck that needed doing, and two hours later we had my collection of fancy birdhouses FINALLY (after about 5 years) hung in the rafters, the clock fixed, everything swept, the summer rug and quilts out and the fountain cleaned and running. I declare it summer! Today will be more fabric tossing, then some back yard weeding.
Our ice maker is still not good. If we push the reset button, it drops a few shards of ice and water into the ice bucket. Sigh. But Bill found the icemaker for sale on Amazon and he can fix this so he ordered it yesterday. No idea when it will come. The comforter and the iron never did show up. Wonder if they consider appliance repair as 'essential', even if it's only an ice maker. Oh! Our new furniture finally arrived, but they aren't delivering right now. We could pick it up, but I'm not up to helping lift a couch and two recliners so we're just letting it stay at the store for now.
BECCA - sorry about the dr appt. I guess a phone call would be wise next time. I never thought about the dr office hours changing, but it makes sense. So happy to hear you are OK from the storm but how sad for those who aren't. And we aren't eating out. We are ordering and will pick up. Probably Mexican. All restaurants are closed. But that won't be until Thursday.
JANA - so is he coming today?? Huh?? Will he be there today??
LORI - oh, yes, we are here solely for the comfort and care of the fur-folk. And we obey their every command. I think Scottie has surreptiously put us through his own form of obedience training! And we passed with honors without ever realizing we were attending!
Supper tonite is going to be meatloaf, baked potatoes and carrots. The meatloaf recipe is one that my Alaskan DB, Gene, sent. He got it out of a cowboy cookbook. About half of his cooking efforts get tossed out to the wildlife (he still has a foot of snow on the ground), but he said this meatloaf was the best he had ever eaten! Now his wife, Marge, was a big time cook and a field editor for Taste of Home Magazine, so you know he's had some good meatloaves in his time. So I thought - why not give this recipe a shot. I would say here, "How bad can it be?", but considering the source, it has potential to be REALLY bad. But we'll see . . . .
I hope your supper has better potential than ours!
