SUPPER CLUB - Monday, February 5th
Posted: Mon Feb 05, 2024 4:01 am
Good morning,
Our last week here in Austin. We leave for home next Sunday. We intend to soak up all the baby fun we can this week. It has to last us a while. Kids say they'll facetime, Zoom, or talk weekly, but life gets busy for all of us.
We had a day off yesterday so I did make that big pot of chili and let it simmer all day in the crockpot. It smelled so good. Then we cleaned the trailer, took morning and afternoon walks, and I finished putting Fab Farm together. All my sewing is now packed away for travel. I made cornbread to go with the chili and after supper gave myself a manicure and fell asleep in front of the TV. It was an energetic day. But after a good night's sleep, I'm ready to chase a baby today!
MARY Q - welcome to the table! So glad you joined us for supper! Although, Carol is right - there are two rules to supper club - #1: we never ever mention the F-word. It's "mac & cheese". #2: We don't break rule #1. And what a windfall of fabric you received! You deserve it! Is it over now or is there more to come? And the history of Supper Club - Caron (mastiffmom) started it back at the beginning of the forum. For supper ideas, cooking tips, and, well, chit chat. She left the forum so some of us have just kept coming back. A member we called "Lady Carol" of England was here for a year or two and she named it Supper Club. She and her DH, "Sir", love camping and had an RV, though in the UK it's called a caravan. They went out often with their caravan club and she shared camping dishes. And we're so happy you've stopped by the table and hope you keep coming back!
CAROL - you really put a lot of work into that tablerunner. We would love to see a photo when it's all finished! How did you like the lecture by Liz Cheney the other night? I like her. Bill would be happy at your house with all your delicious soups. He loves homemade soup of almost every kind.
BECCA - You'll get there with your quilt. I hurried with mine because I knew after yesterday I'd have very little time to sew. I guess I could Google Cornhole. Or maybe even ask Antonio. I see cornhole boards in their back yard. Was the tomato basil soup good? I've never made it from scratch, but I do combine a can of Campbell's tomato soup and a can of diced Italian tomatoes and sprinkle with basil. Bill loves that. I try to use the low sodium varieties soup and tomatoes.
TINA - you sound like you're feeling better. Just tired? Any other leftover symptoms from your Covid? This is a good time to sit, rest, and maybe study patterns. It takes some studying before cutting. I'd love you to make the Fab Farm. It's a fun project - about 75" square. You have the pattern, don't you? And who would it be for?
Today CHICKIE has a doctor appt that she has waited 5 months for. It took that long to get in to see this specialist. She is still suffering from her vertigo nearly all day long every day, though she says it's a little better lately. Almost 3-1/2 years this has been going on. None of her doctors so far have been able to figure it out. She also has a terrible time keeping her sodium level up. When Sodium goes down, it throws her other electrolytes off and then she has more problems. If you have a spare prayer today, sending it her way would be appreciated, I'm sure.
Tonite I think we'll take a page from Becca and Carol's menus and have soup. Probably tomato. With grilled cheese sandwiches. I might add lunch meat turkey to the sandwiches. We have an abundance. Bill put our grocery order in and when we picked it up, we found he accidentally ordered not only the giant package (20oz), but three of them! We've been eating a lot of turkey sandwiches. lol!!
What sounds tempting to you tonite?

I sure hope you get to FaceTime a lot because Amara will wonder where you two went all of a sudden, she's going to miss you like crazy!
for Chickie and hope the Dr is very thorough and not a 15 minute appointment after her waiting so long and I pray he finds the problem and it's fixable
