The What's For Dinner Thread - May '09(recipe index in OP)

[KadysMom]

Good Morning Everyone!

CONGRATULATIONS! to Liam! That is so great! I used to love to go to my cousin's softball games. Kady doesnt do sports, because she doesnt like to be aggressive or anything. She played soccer, but couldn't understand why during a game you couldn't hug the other team's players.

Last night I made chili with cornbread muffins and brownies. Jeff works nights so I left out the muffins and a big bowl of chili for him. I expected him to eat a muffin or two, but he ate ALL OF THEM!! I guess I didnt need that cornbread muffin with my lunch

I am not sure what is for dinner tonight because Kady has dance class, so probably just leftover pizza.

Have a great day everyone!

I can't drink like I used to which is a fine thing. I came home and passed out on the couch for a couple of hours and woke up with a mild hangover. Oh well that is the price you pay to have some fun.

How rude of me! I forgot to say welcome!!!

I would love to see Mamma Mia, heck I'd go see anything, I've never been to NYC.

I used to take a bus trip with my Sis IL twice a year and we would usually hang in the 1/2 price ticket line to see whatever had the best seats available. We did not care what we saw, we just enjoyed the shows. I never explored anywhere but the theater district because I get lost too easily. Our furthest trek away was to the Met. Picture two chubby women walking miles and miles through artwork...one starving and the other trying to find seats

I never go to stay over until Buddy came. He refuses to do this in one day YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

MoniqueU--Welcome!

Nan--we saw Mama Mia in Vegas and it was a lot of fun.

Well, I wish I could say we are having a great Cinco de Mayo menu tonight. But nope. I have to work and the kids are going to a birthday party at dinner time. Pizza for them and whatever I can find for me. Someone have a margarita for me!

[Rogue26]

Wow, at this rate we'll need a new thread by the end of the week.
I'll be back, I mean bbl, now that I know what it means.
Sheryl- I thought Lauren was talking to you too, not telling you what it meant. I just figured after her raving of mary kay she needed to put in another order.

Thanks for all the good wishs for the dentist, I'm heading out in a few minutes. It's only a 1/2 hour appointment so I don't think they can cause to much pain. I think they are "just" ruffing up the tooth surface and building it up like a giant filling so my teeth actually make contact with each other.

If it works, I'm having rice with gravy. I have a heard time eating rice because my top teeth only touch my bottom teeth in two spots.

Just so you aren't getting awful mental images, my teeth are perfectly straight, they don't look creepy or anything. (Yes, I'm a little vain when it comes to my teeth.)
Gotta go get it over with.

Hi there & welcome...so glad to have you along!!!!

Ladies,
I am going to try to keep up today but we had a real bad night last evening.
DS is feeling better but had a night terror and had me up for 3 hours. I think I was only able to get about 3 hours of sleep in. I am not functioning well.

WFD- baked chicken, zuchini & summer squash, and corn.

Yup, we talk about food! I am having Mexican food tonight also. I am making guacamole, empanadas, and something with black beans. Either black beans and rice, or black bean soup. Oh, and I am making sangria also. I had suggested margaritas, but DH said probably not a good idea on a Tuesday night. Party pooper.

Last night I just ended up making a big salad with all the leftover vegetable bits I found in the fridge, and served it with a baguette spread with an obscene amount of brie. I did take pictures, but didn't have time to upload them yet.

However, I found this picture I forgot to post the other day. This was our appetizer on Saturday night. It's tuna wrapped in nori and dipped in tempura batter, served with wasabi, seaweed salad, and soy dipping sauce. I cooked it a little too long, but it still tasted good.

Good morning ladies. I'll try to check back in after my medication kicks in. I'm having a wonderful time with vertigo this morning. On the up side, it kind of feels like having a serious buzz. On the down side, it makes me nauseous to turn my head or look down unless I do it really slowly. Scrolling through the posts kind of made me queasy too. After my antivert kicks in (and a nap maybe) I'll be back.

I did see Liam's good news so I did want to congratulate him. And I saw that Kady may not be a great soccer player but what a social butterfly! I think that is just precious.

Thanks everyone for the congratulations for Liam! When we arrived at the bus stop this morning, one of my neighbors looked at all of us and asked, "Sleepy??" Good thing this isn't a testing week.

Aimee -- I hope you are feeling better and got some rest.

Welcome! And yes, we do talk about food...and just about everything else.

Nancy and Marilyn -- My two are funny about cleaning as well. They both love to sweep and Swiffer the floors, but ask them to pick up their rooms and suddenly I am Miss Hannigan from Annie.

I love going to musicals as well. I haven't been to NYC for a long time, but one of my fondest memories of the place was when my mom took me for a weekend and all we did was see shows and eat.

That is so cute. Liam did not do well in soccer or basketball. He went through the whole game actively trying to avoid the ball.

Robin -- Good luck at the dentist today.

Ann -- And I thought I was sleepy! I hope you get some rest today. It's a good day for rest...cold, rainy, miserable.

Gretchen -- I hope the medicine has kicked in. Vertigo is awful.

We don't have baseball today (good thing, since it is pouring) but Caili does have a makeup gymnastics class and a skating practice this evening. I am kind of mad because I am going to miss the beginning of Idol. I don't have a DVR. We are going to eat out someplace tonight since we don't have time between gymnastics and skating to come home, but I haven't figured out where yet.

She also still mispronouces just a few words like " Nana bemember yesterday when..." I know I should be correcting her but it's too cute.

My 5yo DN says "No I ament" instead of I'm not or I didn't.

I hear you. The 8yo came up from the playroom and when I asked if she was done she said she was and that she even scrubbed the toilet. She won't pick up a cheese string wrapper but she wiped down the toilet with a Clorox wipe!?!

I gave her a scrubber thing to scrub it out and of course the 5yo had to do it too. She went running upstairs all excited to tell her mother that she got to scrub the toilet.

Congrats to Liam!

Welcome!

I don't know what is for dinner tonight, I have another awards ceremony thing to go to. At least this one they serve dinner at.

Last night I made Lemon Chicken, orzo and roasted butternut squash. Tomorrow night I think I will have Cinco De Mayo food, tacos or fajitas.

Hi...lunch check in between eating and paperwork...

I don't know wfd yet. I have been queasy all day, so Gretchen I can relate. We will probably have french dips again because the bread came in a package of 6 rolls.

I'm so sorry you had a bad night, rest today.

I think out of all the porn you've posted, this has to be my favorite. That looks so right up my alley!

That's such a horrible feeling, hope you start feeling better soon.

Sorry I missed this, feel better soon!
