The Kitchen Table

Are You Thinking About Supper?

Marilyn Sue McClintock

I am not really thinking about it. When I do get hungry I think I will have a pot roast sandwich on a bun with mustard and some more iced tea. I don't have to fix anything this evening. I am glad as I have been sorting and moving things about in my sewing room. I have some things for a future rummage sale too. I still have to organize some patterns that have just been laying about. What have you all been doing today and are you planning to fix supper?

Spent much of the day at Dr's, taking a stress test.

For dinner? Going to the local diner, probably will get my usual - Eggs Benedict. The cook there really knows how to make them.

I spent the day rotating between weeding the garden and sitting out with the dogs. I did take them for a short walk. Tonight we're having meatloaf.

What do you think about this house and how would you paint it

Nice house with potential. It's been added onto at least once, looks like twice. Are the kitchen and bath in the newest parts? Second the idea of retaining the trees for awhile, thinking you may keep them, because they 'are' period authentic. I live in an 1820s federal and there was also a very tall one directly in front of our bedroom window, past the second story. In it sat mockingbirds the first night I slept in this house. Since this house has been around so long, all the other oldsters in our rural area have memories about it, and many have shared, including pictures. There in one picture of a Civil war soldier about to leave for battle, was the tree. And several others still standing on our property. It finally came down in a storm a couple years ago, and I felt like a piece of history went with it.

You know you are thinking too much about kitchens when...

Probably they used light countertops in the ad because of the contrast with the black costume and to give an overall light/optimistic "feel." I am not a design or marketing person at all but (after several viewings) I can see how carefully the ad was constructed. You all do notice that it's a GIRL'S bedroom, right? Love it. OK, I admit, I didn't really notice the countertops until the second viewing. But still. LOL at all those TV kitchens. The "pre-reno" ones are still pretty nice compared to a lot of real life ones! (Including mine.) I bet all that color in them (walls, cabs etc) is for a reason. If I knew anything about design I'd know what the reason is...

I agree....any dog can be well behaved or totally uncontrollable/ficious.....it is HOW they are raised, doesn't matter if they are a mutt or a pedigree! Big or small.....I have encountered a Poodle that was a "heel niper" to women in heels, a German Pointer that didn't like "loud cars"......so again, it's all in the training! We now have a Bull Mastif/Pit Bull breed...she is a good dog, nothing like her breeds reflect! She is overly friendly, just takes a gentle knee to her chest and she settles down until you show or she brings her ball out! Lord have mercy on you both!!! She is such a baby, so gentle and loving (would I let her around supervised children as well as adults....YES!) She does NOT think she is a dog! She weighs well over 80 pounds and still thinks she needs to sit in my lap when the wind is blowing and it is thundering and lightening!!! If it is raining, no way is she going outside! I have been around several fullblood Pitbulls...and they have been NOTHING like what everyone "thinks"....AGAIN, it is ALL in the raising and training!!!!!!!!

Seems like I've been on the phone most of the day, either making appointments, changing reservations or talking to people. Oh, and finding out how much a new battery would be for Harry's scooter.

Dinner tonight is leftover from last night. A few weeks ago Glenda posted a recipe and picture of a dish she'd made with sauteed cabbage and sausage. I had made that and it was good and yesterday I found a bag of cooked corned beef in the freezer, so I decided to make something similar. I cooked some red potatoes with the skins, diced them and sauteed the beef, onion, napa cabbage and potatoes in olive oil. So simple and so good!

I have been still working on the spring clean. Going through clothes for goodwill and such. Lots of laundry and some ebay junk. Finally got some pictures done anyway.

Dinner is steak. Started the marinade last night so they are ready to go on the grill now. I also made an Artichoke Rice Salad and will do some asparagus shortly. I have been thinking about supper all day!

I had planned and prepped steak, baked potatoes, carrots and asparagus, went to start the burners, and bbq, only to discover that the local construction cut off the gas. So, we had nuked soup and crackers.

DH got home early today from work so he's got some ribs cooking in the outdoor smoker and some baked beans going in the oven. (I know about the baked beans because he asked me how to make them.) Whatever else he's planned, I don't know, I'm just happy to get a weekday treat and a night off from kitchen duty.

Been a busy bee myself today. Fixed the fridge, remounted the dishwasher to the cabinet, matted and framed some pictures, then hung them. Prepared 2 cement planter boxes for planting. Whew, tired now, but am in the process of making wild rice, pan-fried fish, creamed peas and sliced cantelope for dinner. Bon Appetite.

Breaded baked chicken breasts, baked potato, snap peas. It was good. I'm tired of cooking and wish someone would cook for me.
