SUPPER CLUB - Monday, Nov 20th
Posted: Mon Nov 20, 2023 4:48 am
Good morning,
I didn't sleep much last night but woke up right on time - 0500. I'll be asleep in my recliner earlier than usual tonite!
It's 67* this morning and should go to 76* but cloudy with drizzle until about 0900. That's OK. I like curly hair and that's what I'll have after our morning walk. Curlier than usual. This is my sister's last day here. They leave for FL tomorrow morning to stay for 2 months on their friends' property. I'll be stitching away the day, hopefully outside after it dries out so I can hang with Al & Tina. I'm getting close to finishing the stocking. I can't believe I did it! Whew! My hands won't know what to do with themselves after this marathon of cross-stitching.
LORI - Did you like your soup? I went to the link to check it out. Do you like it mild or spicy? I saw it called for a can of tomatoes, too. You could always use Rotel to spice it up even more. I didn't realize your son was moving to Jasper, TX. Did I? I probably forgot. I know what it feels like to hear your offspring are moving across the country. But it gives you a new place to visit. Have you Googled Jasper? It's in East Texas, a town of about 7,000 people. Some of east TX is very pretty with tall pine forests. And parts of it are more like LA, with bayous and heavy humidity. What caused him to decide to move to TX? I know cost of living is MUCH less than CA which is part of what drew Autumn here.
BECCA - I hope both appointments weren't/aren't a big deal, though I have to admit, anytime they are messing around in my mouth, it's a big deal to me!! Hope your angora yarn arrives soon. Now that you are underway, I'm sure you're anxious to get in some stitches. I bet those pork chops are tender but if you don't like the gravy, then they wouldn't be very enjoyable. I'd stick with the omelette. That sounded tasty! Thanks for the tip on freezing the apples. I'm going to try it when we get home. I have a very small freezer in the trailer. I know Chickie makes a ton of apple pie filling and then cans it. And she also makes and freezes pie crusts so she's ready to go whenever she needs a quick dessert. That's not practical in a trailer either!
TINA - I wish my kids lived close enough to pop in all the time, but that's not how life has gone in our family. The two grandsons are 1 hr north and 20 min east of us. And work totally opposite hours of each other. You are very blessed! So which quilt do you have on the quilting frame right now? #2? #3? You still have 5 weeks to go.
Last night our supper morphed into frozen quiche, 3 bean salad, and a green salad. For tonite, Bill loves Whataburger. And I have to admit, even though we RARELY eat fast food, it's a cut above all the other fast food chains. So tonite for our last meal together, Al & Tina are going to pick up Whataburgers and bring the back to camp. But I will be ordering a chicken jalapeno burger and the others will be ordering hamburgers, I think.
What will be going on your plate tonite?
