How is Your Day and What's For Supper?

14 years ago

I got my zucchini plants in the ground. I will probably have enough to keep a small village supplied if nothing goes wrong! I pulled some radishes and got those cleaned, washed a load of rugs, went into town with Amber so she could fill her truck with gas. Did you know gas is going up? It was $2.31 nine and had already gone up more than ten cents the next town over. My husband was there getting his car filled up too as Amber let him know that gas prices were rising.

Now for supper, I have been working on it. Amber and Mike are eating with us. I am fixing beef Manhattans. I have the potatoes peeled and cut up ready to cook and mash, of course I have the beef cooked. We will have some of the radishes I pulled, corn on the cob and I just finished making a banana coconut cream pie. I want to go throw some more laundry in to wash and get them dry. How is your day going and what are you fixing for supper?

Conway woke me up at 2:30 to go out. I couldn't go back to sleep, so am exhausted now.
My back is absolutely killing me today.
No clue about dinner. I really want salmon with hollandaise sauce and broccoli, but that sounds like an awful lot of work right now.

We are having BBQ ribs and I LOVE my own ribs better than anybody elses! They are smelling so good in the oven right now....I like for them to finish cooking at least an hour or so before I take them out of the oven and serve them because the sauce thickens and clings more to the ribs that way.....YUM, can't wait!

The colcannon was different. Here's recipe colcannon 3-4 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered 3 tbsp. milk or unsweetened/plain soy milk 1/4 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. pepper 2 cups chopped cabbage or kale 2 tbsp. butter or margarine 1/4 cup chopped onions or green onions Directions: Cook potatoes in a pot of boiling water until tender. Drain, reserving water. Place the hot potatoes in a large bowl. Add chopped cabbage to the reserved potato water. Cook 6-8 minutes or until tender. Meanwhile, fry the onions in the butter or margarine. When they are cool enough to handle, mash potates with a hand masher or fork. Add the fried onions and cabbage. Add milk, salt and pepper and beat until fluffy. Here's the boxty cake: Mine had scallions in them Boxty (Irish Potato Griddle Cakes) 8 Servings (Halve this recipe for smaller families) 1/2 lb raw potato 1/2 lb potato,mashed 1/2 lb all-purpose flour 1 Milk 1 Egg Salt and pepper to taste Grate raw potatoes and mix with the cooked mashed potatoes. Add salt, pepper and flour. Beat egg and add to mixture with just enough milk to make a batter that will drop from a spoon. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a hot griddle or frying pan. Cook over a moderate heat for 3-4 minutes on each side. Serve with a tart apple sauce: or as part of an Ulster Fry, with fried bacon, fried sausage, fried eggs, fried black pudding, fried bread, fried soda bread. An old poem says: . Boxty on the griddle, boxty in the pan, if you can't make boxty, you'll never get a man.

Tireing, hot, exciting, scary. LOL! See the "morning" post about the hot and tireing parts. The exciting was seeing the campus that we (me and Alex) visited especially the space center. We both really liked the professor too, he was very excited about the program and the students. He is from Rome originally and still has his accent after all the years he's lived in the states. I told Alex that's the kind of teachers you need. He loves his job and astronomy, got really into talking about the stars, black holes and I asked him about the probe NASA sent out years ago, Voyager? I found out they sent out four of them...which I didn't know. One of their students discovered a new black hole while studying there. I also never made it home in time to have some compost and mulch delivered. Now I have to find out if they deliver on Saturdays. I was hoping to get the rest of my garden planted this weekend. Oh, and the scary part was Alex driving!!!! He needs a few more hours to get his license so I let him drive there and back. He does good most of the time, but still not great. He doesn't pay attention sometimes and it can be scary. Lauren is more of a daydreamer than Alex and I know I'm going to have to be on medication by the time she starts driving! LOL!

I am back from Muncie. She only bought two butterfly koi. I didn't go in, I just sat in the SUV with the dogs. I sent a bunch of the "pork salad" and some of the barbecue home with Amber. I did freeze a shortening container of the barbecue, kept a bit out for us. I am finished for today. I just made my pork salad like plain chicken salad, cooked chopped up pork loin, some onion, celery, sweet pickles, hard boiled eggs, Miracle Whip and a bit of sugar to taste. I used my food processor to chop up stuff. Makes it so much easier than trying to do it by hand. Izzi is tired out. She had a busy day, keeping an eye on the other two dogs :) If the girls ask me to go, I will go with them. I can stay home when I get old! Ha, ha. Sue

It's been a good day. This morning they measured for our countertops--said it'd be about a week. Very exciting for me, anyway. Made Glenda's strawberry soup early so it could chill for 8 hours. Then I made a shrimp and rice salad for dinner, too. I just love it--have olives, celery, green onion, shrimp and rice. Dressing is mayo with french dressing. I really like having dinner ready before lunch time!! But Sue, that fried chicken sounds mighty good! We haven't had it for so long. Have to be up at 3:30 in the morning to be at VA in Gainesville by 6:00. Bummer!! DH has lab work at 6 and a primary care appt. at 8. At least we'll be home by dark.

It's been another rainy, gloomy day here in central FL. Not complaining 'cause we really needed the rain. But it's been so cold. The thermometer on my screened porch says it 54--and this is the time of day it is usually getting really warm out there (west side). I had the heat on this morning. In the 29 years I've been here, I've never had the heat on in May!

We're having Cuban chicken and yellow rice for dinner. It has peas so we'll just have croissants and apricots with it.

I'm having a great day! I watched Oprah this morning. She had a lady on that went to a foreclosure auction and ended up buying a woman's home and giving it back to her. She started a foundation to save other people from foreclosure. I donated 100.00 to the fund. After that I went to a Focus group on oral care products. We were being paid $150.00 for 2 1/2 hours to give our opinions. They called 8 people's names and left me and another guy sitting alone in the room. They told us they overbooked and we could go home. We still got paid the money.
I know it was good Karma coming back to me for my $100.00 donation. If any of you want to donate I linked it below.
