SUPPER CLUB - Friday, June 30th
Posted: Fri Jun 30, 2023 6:38 am
Good morning,
It's a beautiful morning here out on the deck - 58* and cloudy but going to a sunny 80* this afternoon. Could it be more purrfect?? The chickens are serranading me this morning, but the owls are sharing themselves somewhere else.
We enjoyed our dinner out last night. But boy, have restaurant prices skyrocketed. Ouch! And let's not talk about fuel. Gasoline here is is about $5.29/gallon. Our news tells us we are now the highest in the nation - higher even than CA and HI! Such a distinction! And there I went and talked about it!
Yesterday I played some in my sewing room, sneaked out of the house to buy a dash cam at Costco for Bill's Christmas present, and relaxed a bit before going out to dinner. Today's plan is to play some more in my sewing room with my Christmas swap blocks, load my OWL if Bill has time, do some relaxing on the deck and enjoy the weather.
TINA - that is wonderful that something is finally being done to make the farmer aware! But I feel so sorry about those poor cows. And grocery delivery to Dad will take one more chore off of you. I hope it works out. Glad you got your porch cleaned. Sounds like you could have a mud wallow in there with all the dirt! I hope the blowing dirt that winds its way into your house doesn't affect your sewing machines. When I bought my Bernie, they said if I even took it outside to sew it would negate my warranty because of possible dust in the air. You keep it covered when not in use, right?
JANA - everything sounds like it's a 'go' at your house with both new houses and the landscaping. I'm glad Kate and Aaron found a plan that will work better for them. I think a room designated for little sleepovers is an excellent idea! It will get used a lot more than adult sleepovers, I'm sure. So will D&K be moving this weekend? They are sure having some good luck finding furniture.
BECCA - Your caramel cakes sound so good! Wish I was there to sneak a piece! I still haven't made one.
Maybe I will do it for the Fourth, too! Your family has big doin's planned. Enjoy!
CAROL - You have really been on a soup roll lately. I think I have one more container of a "kitchen sink" soup in the freezer. I just put everything into it I could think of. Sometimes I keep a container in the freezer and toss in dibs and dabs of leftovers like veggies, bits of pasta, potato, meat. Then when the container is full, I make soup.
Last night at the restaurant I had chicken and linguini in gorgonzola sauce. Bill had salmon putanesca. The traitor! He earned himself some demerits for that! I loved my dinner. Tonite, I think I'll make a pizza because I have 1/2 jar of sauce and some sliced pepperoni and a bit of bell pepper and a cut onion. All the makin's and they all need to be et up. Along with a salad.
What's the plan at your house?
