Kat, I bet those 3 weeks will be over before ya know it! Good luck!!
Kate, True Detective was really good...but be forewarned, you really need to push yourself through the first 1-2 episodes because they are a little slow and I had a hard time not falling asleep. But, it was really great once it picked up!

Thanks for the heads up Bridget :happy:

Saturday, we have my brother and nieces bday celebrations, so cocktails will be had. Sunday I'm sure will be a recovery on the couch. I need a tasty healthy meal for sunday, something that is fairly easy. I want to feel like I'm eating bad but don't want a ton of calories!!!! Any suggestions???0 -
Kate, we have the weather in KY today you are getting tomrorow. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. I guess because I got used to single digits this winter. At least the sun is shining. Yesterday was nasty. I guess that's headed your way too...
I made these green chili enchiladas last week. They were soooo good! I did not cook the tortillas in oil.
Green Chili Enchiladas
• poblano chiles* (8 ounces total)
• 6 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
• 12 (5- to 6-inch-diameter) corn tortillas
• 4 cups salsa verde, divided
• 2 cups shredded roasted chicken, divided (I bought a rotisserie chicken from the store)
• 3/4 cup sour cream, stirred to loosen, divided
• 6 ounces grated Emmenthal, Muenster, or Mexican Chihuahua cheese (about 1 1/2 cups packed)
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• Pickled red onions
• *Fresh green chiles; available at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Latin markets.
Preparation
Char chiles directly over gas flame or in broiler until blackened all over. Enclose in paper bag; let stand 10 minutes. Peel and seed, then cut into 2x1/2-inch strips.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tortilla to skillet; cook until slightly softened, about 15 seconds per side, turning with tongs. Transfer tortilla to paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining tortillas, adding oil to skillet as needed.
Spread 1/2 cup salsa over bottom of 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish. Arrange 4 tortillas over salsa, covering bottom of dish completely, overlapping slightly, and extending about 1 1/2 inches up sides of dish. Scatter 1 cup chicken over tortillas, then half of poblano strips. Spoon 1 1/2 cups salsa over, spreading evenly. Spoon 1/4 cup sour cream over in small dollops. Cover with 4 tortillas, overlapping slightly. Layer with remaining 1 cup chicken, remaining poblanos, 1 cup salsa, and 1/4 cup sour cream. Cover with remaining 4 tortillas, then 1 cup salsa, and remaining 1/4 cup sour cream. Sprinkle with cheese.
Bake casserole until bubbling and cheese is lightly browned, about 35 minutes. Cut into 6 pieces; divide among plates. Sprinkle with cilantro. Spoon pickled red onions alongside; serve
I have been a Pinterest w*ore lately. This week I made 2 new things: chicken avacado sliders and last night was (turkey) sausage and egg stuffed sweet potatoes. Both were amazing.
Oh yeah, enough about food.....I've been drinking. Not slamming drinks, but having them.
M - cocktail, 1/2 bottle rose' = 3
T - 312 after yoga, 18oz marg and 1/2 bottle of wine at dinner = 5
W - 312
R - I think I may try for a 0
F - maybe split a bottle of wine. We got 2 good movies ready to watch. Mellow night hopefully......
We are walking in a St. Patty's parage in my neighborhood Saturday so we'll be drinking. Need to get in a long run to counter the day drinking.0 -

Sweet potatoes were easy. I microwaved 3, cut in half, scooped out the guts. Scrambled 6 eggs with half cup milk (2 per potato, but I had extra left) on the stove. Added cooked turkey sausage and potato guts. Then it calls for this cheese sauce that is 2T mayo, 2t mustard, 1/4 cup cheddar and 1/3 cream (I used milk) cooked on the stove to melt/combine. Then you fill up a potato shell halfway, add cheese sauce, fill all the way, top with cheese sauce and put under the broiler. The sauce made it taste a little like devlied eggs. It would be good to make a bunch and freeze too I think.0 -
mmm, those enchiladas sound good-you have nutrition info?
I finished True Detective last night and it was good. I was sort of expecting a different twist but that happens, always looking for something. I was hooked right away, I guess. Up next? maybe Orange is the New Black?

Sounds like a fun night Amy.
I'm having a problem with motivation today......0 -
I liked Orange...but I liked House of Cards better. The problem I had with Orange is the main character...I just.didn't.like.her! The supporting cast is what makes the show (and their back stories)
I started my Spring planting today. I'm hoping the flowers will brighten my mood :grumble: We're headed back into the mid 80's this weekend..so the sun and maybe some pool action should put me in the right frame of mind. Then 1 more week til the son is home and we're all off to Palm Springs for a week. :smokin:0 -
I liked House of Cards too!0

I'm going to run after work to try to counter some of the extra calories. Saturday will be a lot of walking for the St. Patty's Parade. My neighborhood has many bars and 3 large Irish bars all in a cluster so it's pretty nuts. They already had the port o potties out this morning. We won't stay for the duration as we'll have our 2 year old with us, but I'll be drinking green beer while throwing beads from a float! And then I'm sure we'll drink the rest of the day. Sunday Eric's friend may come over, and tonight UK plays in the SEC tourney, so I don't see a 0 in sight. Next week maybe.... Happy Friday lushes!0 -

Another lushy weekend for me!!
Friday-had 4 1/2 beers
Saturday-lots of capt and mango juice
Sunday-1/2 beer, 3 vodka tonics, 2 cherry vodkas and sprite zero and 2 glasses of wine! That's a crap ton, but I don't feel too horrible today.
Gonna log some zeros this week. The In laws over coming over this upcoming weekend so we will be cleaning a bit every night, which usually requires some drinks, so I'll see how it goes :happy:0 -
Friday=2 beers and a taster flight
Saturday=7 beers
Sunday=0 drinks
Probably a 0 tonight, I have a lot of evening plans this week which usually means drinking...0 -
I just typed up a long response and then somehow deleted it. Long story short, I drank a lot last week. Never got hammered, but kept a buzz a good part of the weekend. I will aim for a 0 tonight, but will probably drink Tuesday and maybe another night as my friend and I have Grey's to catch up on which requires wine. Nothing planned for the weekend except basketball. Which is what drove me to drink yesterday..... Cats ALMOST pulled out a win over #1 FL. Makes me hopeful for the tourney. I know a lot of you are NFL fans.....any college bball fans out there? I live in Louisville (and graduated from UK) so it's pretty much a requirement. So I love March. Just another reason to drink! :drinker:0

Sat - 4 drinks
Sun - 4 drinks0 -
Yup...not like you Kentucky people...but I always fill out a bracket. This year we have a local team that's done well....so we'll be cheering on San Diego State.I...any college bball fans out there?
I drank too much yesterday..I can't seem to help myself when I'm out in the sun. :ohwell: I will try to moderate this week..son will be home Friday afternoon...all bets are off after that.0 -
I can't seem to stop eating when I make corned beef. I had a beer too. then vodka to get to sleep.0

I'm not a huge one but I grew up next to UConn and husband went there for school so he likes to watch the games so I'll watch them when he does.
I've already had corned beef and cabbage twice in the last week so husband and I got pizza tonight haha.0 -
Not really into sports in general, either is Len, so we won't be partaking in March Madness :bigsmile:

We finished the bottle of red we opening Sunday so I had a glass of wine last night. And then couldn't stop munching all night......
Not sure about tonight. I may pick up a bottle of wine or may just have cocktails. Or maybe nothing, but I doubt it since there will be 4 guys in my basement playing poker. I may need to drink by association upstairs.0 -

I really wanted to drink. One of my kitties, Skeeter, got out on Sunday and hasn't come home. When I went looking for her last night I found half of a dead cat in a field and I thought it was her but my husband looked and he said that cat had a green collar and Skeeter's is pink. Still, I feel nothing but dread. I feel terrible, and helpless

omg I'm so sorry. I hope she comes home safe 0
