The Kitchen Table

I Am Back Home and What's for Supper?

17 years ago

I am back home from visiting Mother in the nursing home. She was looking as well as could be expected I guess. After our visit we ate at Jim Dandy. I so love their iced tea and guess what you can buy a box of it! I bought a box of 100 bags for $5.99. It is called Irani tea. I haven't found it around here in the stores as I have been looking for months. It made my day to be able to get some.

After we took Terri home we picked up our two dogs and went back into town to visit a bit with Cheryl's in laws who were at their house they have up for sale. I finally made it home and am trying to rest a bit. I will probably be puppy sitting for KC later. I have no plans for supper as hubby won't be eating at home. Do you have plans for your meal?

Been a busy day for me too, grocery shopping, laundry, dirty dishes..the normal everyday kinda things. So, we're having Taco Salad...HD won't mind, in fact if the chips are really thin...he loves it!

cant really give you an opinion w/o a picture .. as to what the result would be ... i would tend to suggest 2 to 3 years to fill back in .. and since you are selling.. i suggest removal ... and nice blank spot.. which would sell me faster than some ugly chopped plant .. BTW.. i cant think of many plants .. shrubs ... that have leaves in the darkness of the center ... ken

gwanny's recipe: Salsa chicken and black beans 1 jar of your fave salsa 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed 1-2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexi-blend cheese 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts Place chicken in baking dish and cover with salsa and beans.***I put the beans in bottom of pan, then top with chicken and salsa, cover and bake at 350 for 35 minutes. Sprinkle cheese over top and let bake another 5 minutes. Moist, yummy chicken!! Serve with a dollop of sour cream on each. This was fabulous!!! Only thing is that our supermarket chicken breasts are so large, I'd cook them for at least 45 minutes before adding cheese. Sour cream is a must.

I was thinking the Spa was pretty expensive, the rest was not bad. I have to clarify what the Stamped Coping and Cantilever edge charges include also. I do not know any Gunite installers in the area, I was set on a Liner, but might get a quote for Gunite, it looks like it is not that much more. I was worried about Gunite in New England. Thank you for the replies

Sidnee, I have some advice or at least something to keep in mind for future reference. Unless you bought the fat quarter bundles at a very good sale price, you can ~usually~ do better, price-wise, by purchasing a half yard (=2 fat quarters) or a full yard (=4 fat quarters), etc. Now I will admit that I am a sucker for fat quarters & have quite a stash of them, but sometimes (when I am "thinking") I follow my own advice, LOL, & when the urge to buy a fat quarter hits, I will often get a 1/2 yd instead. But of course sometimes a person really only wants a small amount of a particular color/print, so just buying a fat quarter is all you need or want. Looking at fat quarter bundles gives you a good idea of how to mix or pick out the colors that appeal to you, before you proceed to the bolts of fabric. Good luck with your project & glad to hear you are going forward with it!

Chicken and rice, peas or lima beans (frozen), and sliced mango. It was last night's dinner, but DH went to the grocery and came home with a large Italian sub.

Glad your mother is doing well. Bet she enjoyed your visit. Is Jim Dandy a chain? I don't think we have them here.

We're doing home made submarine sandwiches and corn on the cob for supper tonight. Quick and easy but pretty tasty.

I think Jim Dandy has a few resturants only in Indiana. We did have one in Elwood but it closed :( We had the buffet. I guess they have a different buffet each day through the week. Some of the things they had today was of course the usual salad stuff, chicken pot pie, salsbury steak, fried shrimp, fried okra, mashed potatoes, brown gravy, green beans, mac and cheese, beef vegetable soup (it was good and homemade), chicken noodle soup, corn bread and fried rolls with apple butter! I know we three really enjoyed it!

I had a crock pot full of lima beans and ham bone that I started yesterday. I took a pork roast out of the freezer to slice and add to, but DH emailed me and told me that a place down the road has all you can eat tacos tonite, we may go there. I don't care for tacos, but DH loves them. I will probably drink some tea and eat a sampler or something.

I'd been doing divorce finances all day, so my dinner was chinese chicken salad, which I ordered online thru our local (and only) chinese restaurant (thank goodness they are actually GOOD), and spring rolls. 15 minutes later I was in town, picking up the order. Very very good. They use a peanut vinagrette dressing that is simply yummy.
