And we are sliding into Friday
I am sooooooooo happy today is Friday.
No word yet if we are heading to the city yet. I overnight expressed some rapid test to dd. She can't find any in her area, and I had a few extra from my " florida trip" pile. They are starting to feel better yet. On video chat last night gd was full of energy running, playing, jumping on mom/dad/dogs, having tea with us through the screen...and dd was extremely tired and tired of being sick etc etc etc, asking me to come help her
and take care of her and gd lol. I remember those days!!!!!
I had no side effects from the booster....dh got hit just as hard as his second shot. So I whipped up some chicken soup and grilled cheese for supper last night lol. He is one of those " big baby men" when he gets sick lol. It's a good thing he doesn't get sick often...I'm not sure either of us would survive that!
Not much on the agenda for today. My pile of papers to shuffle is little. I am slowly getting caught up on
@schumigirl 's trip report, then I spied a few others I want to start as well.
I am thinking with the mild weather we have...it's time to try and bbq some moose steaks tonight. Pulled out a package today. It's not often we can bbq/grill in the winter, I want to take advantage of that.
I hope your ds starts to feel better soon! I hate when my kiddies are sick even though they are grown adults. It's a momma thing
I wish I lived close to you...to help out a bit. Ugh, just reading this made my anxiety spike through the roof. I hope you heal quickly from what you had performed.
YUM!!!!! It sounds delicious. Last night I had to change meals on the fly when dh wasn't feeling good from his booster and he just wanted soup and sammies. I always have supplies or plans for a quick easy meal for when things like this happen during the week. Another good one I will pull out is a homemade hamburger helper type meal. We call that "@ss in a pan"
But it feeds everyone, and no one goes hungry lol.
I will have to research and make one of these. It has me intrigued me since I starting reading your trip reports and you talk about it in those. Sounds like it would be the perfect dessert for a Sunday night supper!
You are like me...I hate being cold! I would bundle up the same!!!! Love the purple toque and scarf. I wish I looked as cute as you do wearing a toque lol. I look like the version of Frank from Shameless
Well, I really should start to shuffle some of these papers.
Have a great day everyone...stay safe. I'll probably be popping in lots today as not much going on in the office today, and honestly I'm ok with that for a Friday
Glad they`re beginning to feel better though, and yes, hope you do get to go visit them for your little granddaughters birthday......yes, we never lose that mother instinct to nurture even when they`re adults.
I love that hat, it`s one of those ones hillwalkers use.....but oh my......you should see my hair when I take it off........
Not a pretty sight!!!
Flourless chocolate cake is so easy.....I justs whisk it all up for more than it needs and it seems to be better that way. It`s a cake that sinks and doesn`t look so pretty but my goodness when you cut into it, it`s as if you`ve made a ganache....very, very rich.....even I take a tiny piece.
Oh yes,
@schumigirl, Happy birthday to Kyle!
Thanks soniam........
Beef Stroganoff sounds lovely, haven`t made that in the longest time!!! Yes, a very winter warming dish.......my sister loves cauliflower rice, but can`t quite get to grips with it for some reason, I`m guessing an acquired taste, although I do love cauliflower, epsecially if it has cheese sauce on top....lol.........
Good afternoon. I am officially boosted. Just waiting to see if there are any side effects. I think I will take a nap this afternoon just because I can. I have paid bills and have a load of towels in the wash. Those might be the only productive things I do today.
I think we are ready for the snow. Dh took B's disc sled to her yesterday.
So far, so good. I had my boost at a Walmart Neighborhood Market When I got there the lines at the registers were quite long. Glad I went shopping yesterday.
I keep seeing 2 different predictions. One says 5-8 inches, the other shows we could get up to 10 inches. I just hop the snow doesn't do mor damage to my tree.
I hate being too cold, but I also hate being too hot. B would absolutely love your purple hat and scarf.
Hope everyone is back to feeling well soon.
My dh is the same. He acts like he is dying when he gets a cold, but is surprised when I don't want to do anything when I have a stomach bug.
Happy birthday to Kyle!
I went to Panda Express for lunch today. This was my fortune.

I have a lot of purple scarves apparently in varying shades, and yes, I am quite sad and have them on hangers starting from the darkest to the lightest.......sounds very dorky!
I just cannot deal with being cold either......but I can cope with a lot of heat, although yes, overheating is not fun.
Hope you feel much better today and the arm isn`t too bad. And yes, a nap because you can is always a good idea!
Have y’all see the reports about the new Figment popcorn bucket at EPCOT? They are saying the line is over 5 hours long and people are already selling them on eBay for over $100. It’s really cute, but 5 hours????
I heard about that........6.5 hours folks were waiting I heard from someone....that is crazy!!
Can’t find my birthday greetings for Kyle
So sending them again for him
Aww thanks again mac......yes, you sent me an email wishing him HB too.......
We have a side by side fridge freezer style
Due to the cabinets in the kitchen, this was the largest size we could buy to fit in the room
We do not have a free standing freezer as no place to put it.
But we do use our fridge freezer for vegetables.
What meats, fish or chicken, we buy couple times a week and it holds well in our fridge.
it’s rare for us having snow in our area
The predicted ice storm that could be near us won’t be until Sunday
The city will do one sweep of liquid brine put down on our streets but that’s it.
We do not have snow plows or rock salt to clear our neighborhood roads.
I will hit Publix in the morning and be ready for Sunday/Monday for food in case we have to stay inside
Rare for anyone in my hoa drives anywhere when there is low temps, ice/ snow.
I’m on a winding ridge of 4 levels
We don`t often get snowed in as such here, but I do love days where the weather is dreadful and we don`t go out, but I have to admit after a day or two I`m like a caged lion and just need to get out.......
Yep, we`re always well stocked up with just about everything......I probably buy too much fresh produce as we do sometimes throw out unused cucumbers/lettuce, that kind of stuff.
But, yes, good idea to get stocked up just in case, your roads are awkward.
it was a real poop show at the grocery store. When you walk in and find no carts, it’s generally a good clue to turn around & drive home. Did grab a ‘passable’ Gatorade flavor. It’s been awhile I since purchased any. When did they come out with seemingly hundreds of varieties?
great news
so strange how that tends to happen
i freeze extra baked goods, still pulling out cookies in dribs & drabs. Keeps them fresh & helps with portion control
before the quality of the closest RL restaurant tanked after pandemic started, was a frequent visitor. Will say tho, not a fan of most biscuits, even their’s. Shocking lol. I have made them from scratch at various family member‘s requests. Easy easy, look & taste the same to me.
yea!
nwahaha a good prophecy. I often get weird ones that make little sense, believe something lost in translation sort of thing
any rocco’s modern life fans from back in the day here?
Filbert’s fortune cookie

File it under pirates gotta make a living?
guess that’s why they started to limited the number of items per one can purchase.
Will say I did send my DiL off to buy me a Oogie Boogie popcorn bucket at the first
MNSSHP years ago. However, in my defense, I was treating for that & a dessert party Believe it took over an hour, nice she waited. I’d have bailed after 15 minutes.
i’d be more worried about the local driver’s lack of familiarity with proper snow navigating. Probably more than a few fender benders there on those rare days.
Oh lordy....is it bad I can think of one or two folks that Filbert joke is appropriate to send to them.......
although I have no idea who Filbert is???
I did make the RL biscuits ages ago and yes, they were identical to the stuff they serve, wouldn`t go out of my way to make them again though. Funnily enough we always raved about the RL down at the convention centre in Orlando.......not as good this time and I`ve always been a fan of it before.
Kyle did like your birthday meme......
Thank you for the birthday wishes for my boy! He did have a nice birthday and we have a nice pub booked tonight for dinner. This is a new one to us, but gets amazing reviews and we`re not sure why we`ve never gone before as one of my friends says she prefers it to the other one in that village we usually go to. Long as the steaks are cooked as we ask and tasty, all good.
We have fog this morning and a real feel of -3, so no walking this morning although Kyle is still going running with his club......crazy in this cold!!
Inspired by Janet the other day....I`m going to have a pamper afternoon......do all the usual pamper things and have a sip or two of sparkly as I do so. Although I usually keep the sparkly for when I`m getting made up and dressed to go out.....love it........
No cooking tonight as we`re out for dinner but will soak diced beef in ale all day before cooking overnight in the slow cooker with a medley of other ingredients, then have that for Sunday dinner tomorrow. Dishes like that benefit from being cooked the day before, but will add dumplings on Sunday as requested in the last half hour with some veg to be decided yet.
Lunch today is brioche rolls with bacon......mac.....will set another chair at the table for you........
Fruit and croissants for breakfast.......
Have a wonderful Saturday
