Howdy y'all. It's sensational Saturday! Working 5 hours this morning and then going to a pool party. Haven't decided yet what to bring to the party...
Gotta go, as I'm opening this morning.

Howdy y'all. It's scintillating Sunday! Working a full 8 hour middle today. Blech.
Yesterday afternoon turned out to be really nice for the pool party. I made some four layer dip (bean, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese) that was pretty good and seemed to be popular with the tortilla chips I brought for it.
After opening early though, I was in bed by about 9:30 trying to sleep despite all the booms and bangs.

Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday! Working a 5 hour middle today, so that's not too bad. I've been up for a while but finally remembered to change the filter on the AC (Ok, only 5 days late, not too bad) and of course distracted by feeding Lilo and me and adding more to the garbage and recycle bins.

The weather did well for me! Work was short today so not too bad.
For tonight I'll be making boneless center cut pork chops in a light cream of mushroom sauce, with onion, garlic, and herbs (especially rosemary, my favorite herb for pork) served with a small amount of mashed potatoes and french cut green beans. J will have some kind of breakfast stuff or possibly some more chips and dips as he won't eat pork chops. D did a pretty decent job of cleaning up some of the house today so he gets to share my food. I won't let him starve anyway, as that would be against my religion and upbringing but don't tell him that...I want him to earn his food when I make it and not just be a freeloader.
Everyone had a late lunch so dinner will be late too.

Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! Last night's pork chops were great, though D seemed dismayed by the number of mushroom bits in the cream sauce. At least he ate it! He has issues with mushrooms, even though he likes stroganoff. Go figure? As long as they are in tiny bits and not TOO many of them, he will eat it.
I prefer them in large, tasty slices myself (or even whole button mushrooms) but when feeding him I will make adjustments...so he doesn't get any chicken marsala or boeuf bourguignon when I make those, because I won't make that adjustment in those dishes. I just refuse to compromise my standards for my special favorites.
I'm off today, and making chicken and noodles for dinner. I'll slow cook the chicken in a crock pot all day and then finish up with the noodles, probably cooked separately, at the end, making sure the end product is very meaty so that a serving doesn't have to have too many noodle carbs. If I add peas and carrots to the dish it can end up as a one pot meal and all the side vegetables are right there in it.

I don't know why I said it was thrilling Thursday earlier. It's terrific Tuesday!
Val, last night's dinner was delicious. J did finish off the last of the dips purchased and/or made up for the party on Saturday, though I did have to make a fresh bowl of extra spicy cheese dip for him. He requested that, over breakfast food for dinner, so that was what he got. At any rate, none of the dips went to waste, just maybe to waist. He had salsa, guacamole, bean dip and cheese dip.
Tonight's chicken is in a crock pot now, with plenty of water, so it can make a nice slow cooked broth for chicken and noodles (unless I feel like making home made dumplings this afternoon) for tonight's one pot meal. If needed, I do have more chicken broth to increase the quantity of broth for the meat and noodles, but I'm not sure I'll need it.
Tonight J WILL be having breakfast for dinner.

The chicken and noodles was good. I didn't feel like making home made dumplings, so used a bag of kluski noodles which are pretty decent for dried noodles from a bag.
I still like my mother's egg dumpling recipe the best, for dumplings (or even rolled thin and sliced into egg noodles) and it's really simple to make, but takes a bit of patience in letting the noodles or dumplings dry out somewhat before cooking, turning occasionally in the case of dumplings. These are fairly heavy, thick dumplings in the same style as the ones in Sweet Sue canned chicken and dumplings, only much, much better!

Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! Off again today and I have leftover chicken and noodles to eat.
Dishwasher is running now, and I guess I need to get out to the store as we are out of eggs.

Howdy y'all. It's really thrilling Thursday now! Working a long middle today, but it's supposed to be hot so I plan to stay in the kiosk as much as possible.
I need to unload the dishwasher and put the breakfast dishes in there, and then do "big water" on the indoor plants.
Great reading about the blood work Roger! Keep it up! Or down...as the case may be.

Wasn't too bad at work. I did have to get out a few times to do stuff outside but mostly was able to stay inside and enjoy the air conditioning and the little fan that I put in there.
Came home to a beautifully slow cooked, seasoned pork roast, cooked with just a little bit of cider in the bottom of the slow cooker, so while it was standing on a plate to firm up, I made gravy from the drippings, some mashed potatoes and some green peas to serve with it. Had just a small serving each of the potatoes and peas and there is lots of leftovers of everything for several more nice meals that just have to be sliced and warmed up.
When that is all eaten I'm pondering making some of Mom's meat loaf with ketchup gravy. That too should last a number of meals as her recipe isn't small...

Howdy y'all. It's fabulous Friday! Working that long middle again today, but at least I'm fortified with leftover pork roast for breakfast.
Again, I'll try to stay inside as much as possible, as it's supposed to get into the high mid 90's this afternoon and there is also a "local pollen alert" to contend with.

Howdy y'all. It's sensational Saturday! I've been up for hours but distracted by all the usuals. I finished off the pork roast this morning for breakfast, so now have to ponder whether to make the meatloaf tonight or just make a burger and save the meatloaf for tomorrow. We'll see what tonight brings.
I am on my fourth cup of pu-erh tea now, as I just felt like having a little more this morning.
We have to get ready to go photograph orchids at the judging and it will likely be HOT in there again. Bleah.

OK. Mom style meatloaf is simmering in the pan now, with traditional ketchup gravy!
Hopefully D will eat some of the leftovers...if not I'll be eating meatloaf for several days.

It's kind of dark here too, but I haven't heard any thunder yet. We could definitely use some cooling off!
J won't eat Mom's meatloaf. D will, but he's at a party tonight and will probably eat there, so I will have plenty of leftovers to tide me over for a couple of days.But D may eat some, even though he's not generally too crazy about leftovers...

Well I've been delinquent! And to be honest...I probably won't get back to read the posts I missed for a good length of time...I do hope everyone is enjoying some summer relaxation. Delayed my next NS shipment another couple of months (they let you do that over the phone). Just not sure if I want to keep getting it since I have so many substitutions. But I have such a great price that if I ever felt the need to re-start for weight loss (rather than maintenance) I want that price. Decisions, decisions!
Will try to check back in more regularly. Just getting distracted and busy (you know...going hiking and camping is work!). Take care,

Howdy y'all. It's scintillating Sunday! Leftovers for breakfast. I've been up for a while but Lilo did let me sleep in a LITTLE bit. Just not very much.
I need to get the rest of the laundry folded from yesterday, but right now Lilo is in my lap so that's not possible.
Then working a 6 hour middle and back home!

Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday! Off work today, but we have Orchid Society meeting tonight so I need to slice some cheeses and summer sausage to take to that.
And since laundry is all caught up, not much else is required except to clear out the clean dishes in the dishwasher and put freshly dirty ones in.
We had the rain AND the storms last night. Some were quite close. I saw and heard several very close lightning bolts as I was trying to sleep. It started out with distant lightning and thunder almost too light to hear but then after a while it woke me up in a big way.

Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! Working a 6 hour middle today. I've been up for a while, but Lilo did let me sleep in until about 8:30.
Baked some mahi for breakfast, and not sure what to make or bring for lunch at work. Maybe I'll just buy some chicken salad there.
Not much else going on today.

Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! More exciting storms last night but it got quiet early enough for me to get some decent sleep.
Lilo and I are fed and the dishwasher is running. I need to remember to get some beef short ribs (boneless) into a slow cooker with some barbecue sauce before going to work my long middle today.

It's getting late. Just took the next piece of chicken (for the sugar gliders) out of the toaster oven to cool a bit before I plate it and cover with plastic wrap. That will be a large chunk of their protein for several days. They love their chicken!
I had leftover short ribs for dinner, with leftover baby lima beans and a small serving of mashed potatoes. I made a nice tofu and veggie stir fry for J served over steamed rice. He has leftovers for another meal too.

Howdy y'all. It's fabulous Friday! Working a long middle today, to total 33 hours for the week, and then I'm scheuled off for three glorious days! We have out of town company coming (she'll be arriving tonight, while I'm at work actually) so I tried to schedule as much time off as possible while she's here.
Lilo is fed and so am I, so now to play on the net for a few minutes before having to shower and other stuff to get ready for work.

Howdy y'all. It's sensational Saturday! Off today, but we do have an orchid society board meeting this afternoon in Sandy Springs. I need to do Big Water as I haven't gotten around to that this week in the house!

Howdy y'all. It's scintillating Sunday! Off today too. Our out of town company arrived late Friday night and so far the visit has been relatively pleasant, though I'm kind of worn out. May try to get another nap in this morning quickly.

Howdy y'all. It's magnificent Monday! Only major plan today is a trip to Lawrenceville. We need to stop by the courthouse for a bit and then perhaps the new Mr. Holmes movie which is getting great reviews and stars one of my favorite actors! I figure we'll probably have lunch in Lawrenceville too.

Well, it was a busy day. We got to the courthouse REALLY EARLY for our appointment so we had lunch in the courthouse cafeteria, which had (much to my surprise) really quite decent food!
Then when it was time, we went down, got all signed in, then had to wait and wait in the hall, then wait some more in the courtroom, then nothing much, just a short wedding ceremony in the courtroom. Four couples were getting married, but they were all quick and simple, and our group was the last group out.
Then we did go on to see the movie and enjoyed it thoroughly! I highly recommend that movie to anyone.
Back to work tomorrow. Wheee....

Nothing else scheduled really.

Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! I have some lamb loin chops in the toaster oven cooking for breakfast. In a little while, we need to get to the social security office to begin the name change process. Also for today, laundry.
