Supper club, Sunday, January 17
Posted: Sun Jan 17, 2021 6:13 am
Good morning,
I slept in until 5 AM this morning! Even Scotty let me sleep. Now, when does daylight saving time start? In 8 weeks? And we will have to go back the other way!
We finally decided to do our shopping yesterday. Costco, Freddys, and then putting it all away, packaging meat for freezer, washing vegetables. It was mid afternoon when I was finally done with all that so I just took my audiobook in front of the fire and sat and worked on my Crosstitch while I “read“. Most of our backyard lake is gone now so I believe we will be parking the trailer today. We have gradually brought in things over the last four days so not too much more to empty. But lots of cleaning to do. After spending three months in it I get a little over the top about the cleaning. I also have three quilt tops ready for Quilting Plus I have my embroidered state bird blocks out. Before We left for TX, I started sewing them together, on point, with an alternating solid blue block. I guess that’s my current project at the moment.
Tina, I think the moral of your story yesterday is to honor quitting time of 5 PM to avoid those rubbery legs. We love quiche at our house. I don’t make it often enough. I have one recipe, called chili Reno torte, that is really a quiche. I wonder if Frankie would like that.
Jana, thanks for the bread bowl recipe. I’ve written it down and one of these days I will get to it. Also thanks for the tip on the cabinet cleaner. We don’t have little hands but there are a lot of wet nose Prints here. Funny story about waffles. I don’t have a waffle iron and I’m too lazy to make them anyway. So we got a box of Eggo waffles at Costco to try. They are soft and rubbery and we didn’t care for them, so we left them in the freezer and told our housesitter to eat them, which he did. But then he replaced them! So now we still have rubbery waffles in our freezer! Lol!
Lori, your idea of sticking with dog time for feeding is good in theory. But at our house, they have already suckered me into giving them their 5 PM dinner at 3:30. And somehow, they seem to know by the “feel of the day“ or the position of the sun what time it is. They like going east but they rebel a coming back west! They were begging for supper at 1 PM in the afternoon!
Becca, thanks for the cranberry salad recipe. I wrote it down and I think it would be a very good summer or holiday salad. I assume you are using fresh or frozen cranberries?
Since we went shopping, our supper became hamburgers and a big salad. Costco had frozen vegetarian
Burgers on sale. ( I guess we call them “plant-based“ now). I thought I would give them a try as I am not a big meat eater. And they were really good! Bill had a regular ground sirloin burger and he was happier with that. Tonight’s supper will be the Brunswick stew with leftover pork roast and chicken, veggies, tomatoes, and some barbecue sauce. It Will be going into the crockpot this morning. I have leftover cornbread in the freezer and we can add a salad with that.
And supper will be served!
