SUPPER CLUB - Monday, July 5th
Posted: Mon Jul 05, 2021 6:17 am
Good morning,
What a great Fourth! We HEARD a lot of fireworks. The closest we came to SEEING any was the news segment about the town that was setting up a professional display and something set the whole shebang off all at once, prematurely. Somewhere else in the country that isn't here. What a bummer.
We got most of the yard work finished. Will finish that off today and start on the inside. Things are in pretty good shape but a few chores only get done a couple times a year. And that's usually when company is coming. So it's time . . . I also had a bit of time in my sewing room yesterday and fully intend to have more today! It's a bit of a mess in there right now. I have Christmas fabrics out for the swap, 30's fabric out for the sew-along, other fabrics for my Star Bright, all my pinks are out for my GD3, and a tall stack of blocks for the comfort quilts that need to be sorted and then tops sewn together. I can barely walk in there. My cat is most displeased. It's HIS hangout as well as mine and he doesn't like change. Or the path between his food dish and his basket disrupted. This is why I usually only work on one project at a time but things kind of snowballed on me. I may never get my head above the fabric line again!
LORI, I hope the fireworks weren't too hard on your fur-kids yesterday. We've had a 3-day airshow going on here at our local airport and yesterday was day 2. Military jets were doing fancy stuff over our house. They were so low yesterday that I was in the house and instinctively ducked! The dog ran out on the deck and barked at them! lol! Then all the firecrackers started exploding about the time the jets went home. We could see Foxy was about to bolt by 8pm so we all went inside and locked the cat flap.
VELDA - those dinner packets sound delicious! We do packet suppers, too, sometimes. But I do like to brown the chicken first. (I also brown chicken before putting it in the crockpot.) Sometimes we do burger packets, too.
TINA - Easton cracks me up! But then I was thinking - motel rooms are fascinating to little kids. I still remember the layout of rooms we stayed in when I was 3 yrs old and my parents took us to Scottsdale, AZ to visit my grandmother.
As for supper tonite, I have leftover pasta alfredo and leftover potato salad. I may boost up both dishes, we'll have the pasta tonite, and take the potato salad to Tex & Annette's tomorrow. They have invited us over for a BBQ.
What's cooking in your mind for supper tonite?
