Quilt in a Day Forums

Good morning!

Yesterday turned out to be a rainy, rainy day. I would happily share the wealth with any of you who want it. Wouldn’t it be great if that were possible

We took a ride down the coast for a few hours. It’s always fun to visit the little towns along the way.

Tina, sorry the Mexican restaurant has gone downhill. They probably have new cooks or are cutting expenses with inferior ingredients. I would for sure let them know that their food has gotten so bad that you won’t be back. And didn’t you say a new Italian restaurant opened in town? Or did I dream that? did Kevin make it to your house?

Carol, a class in white glove etiquette? I never thought about that but it’s probably a good idea. They really need the class for the visitors to a quilt show. I try to make sure I keep my hands away from the quilts. Some are very tempting. You’ve reminded me there was a Quilt show in Gig harbor last Saturday. It was on my calendar but I forgot to go. I think we had dinner company that night and I was super busy through the day.

Lori. Have fun at the retreat! We will miss you.

Becca, how are things at your house? Yesterday was family day, wasn’t it?

Last nights dinner was stew. I put it in the crockpot and plugged it in inside the trailer. But the lights did not light. Tried several times, so I moved it to a different outlet and it did work. I tested the first outlet with the coffee maker and it worked fine so I don’t know what was going on. When we left to go on our ride down the coast, we put it outside to cook but didn’t trust it so we stopped and bought a new crockpot at Ace Hardware. After eight hours of cooking, the last two on high, vegetables were still partially hard, so I’m thinking we made a good decision buying a new unit. Though since we had it outside for several hours, perhaps that’s what slowed the cooking. More investigation is warranted, I think.

Tonite we are grilling burgers. I’m also going to make a salad and we will probably have some tater tot’s.

Have you got a supper plan to share?

Good morning all
Mary, your day sounds really nice, I hope the rain wasn't too bad.
I let the owner of Si Senor know almost a year ago when her husband started making the shredded beef with a strong smoke flavor that we didn't like it. She told me she'd tell him but it never changed back. To us smoked flavor meat doesn't go well with Mexican food especially things with chile. There's another restaurant in town that smokes all their meat too and it's overwhelming, you don't taste anything else.... we don't eat there anymore either.
Yep, Kevin made it last night, right when we sat down for supper. We eat at 5:30 on Dad's nights because he can't drive very well after dark so I try to make sure I'm not the cause of him driving in the dark. As the daylight hours grow shorter I'll have to move supper even earlier for a few weeks but that's OK.
Yes, we do have a "new" Italian restaurant, it's really one we had before but they struggled through covid shutdowns and had to close. They opened back up and are in a nicer building. I just told Frankie yesterday that we haven't eaten there yet so that'll be our next meal out.... we don't eat out very often though, maybe twice a month.
Sorry you had crockpot problems, I hope it was just the crockpot and not your electrical.
Frankie went to bed with a headache and at 4:30 he still had it and said he felt yucky. I couldn't go back to sleep so I got up but had to stay in the living room so I didn't wake Kevin too. The house is all quiet with Kevin gone to work and Frankie still in bed. I just ate breakfast and I'm heading to the sewing room.
I'm going to see if Kevin has any requests for supper before I decide what I'm making.

Hello everyone Late here but it’s been a great day I went on Parkway with my DB & niece We had a beautiful day and saw lots of beautiful colors in the leaves We hadn’t seen each other since last year in Summer

Maryz Hope your rain stops Enjoy your time left
No tonight is family night but 4 have strep throat so no dinner I didn’t get back until after 5 & we had a late lunch out at a Bakery that had meals too Was a good place to eat
Last night was Church night Bible study We have covered dish then where all the soups are
Tina That’s very nice of you to have meal early for your Dad That’s bad he can’t drive in dark but very wise I don’t either because I don’t think it’s safe by myself in a strange place plus I have lots of family to do it
I just made me a bowl of soup because I wasn’t hungry
