Chicken quesadillas.

I did my grocery shopping today with Amber and Alyssa. Sure is tiring shopping two big places. Lunch was very good from the Golden Corral. Alyssa enjoyed it, kept saying I am having fun. Kids can eat free there until they are four years old. Supper for me was a lunch meat sandwich.

I doubt if I can stay awake to watch Survivor, but will try.

What did you do with your wedding ring after you got divorced?
Q
Comments (17)
My ex wore his ring to work one day- a no no for plumbers- and he thinks it fell down the drain in the back of Safeway. Whatever. I gave my band that matched his to my bro. They disliked each other so bro and I thought it would be funny. Bro used it to go to bars in San Fran. He would use it if creepy guys tried to hit on him. He lost it after putting it in the pocket of his Member's Only coat. Yes it was 1986. I kept the engagement ring and took the 1/4 stone out and some emeralds from an antique ring I purchased while married and on my 21st birthday made myself a ring to celebrate my divorce. I still wear it and my dh of 20 years does not care. I still have the setting and was told it would be worth not a lot because it was a mix of white and yellow gold. My husband was married before also. His ring cracked just after he learned she was having an affair with one of his old friends from school. We still have it. I could probably take the two, along with my gold crown I had removed and make at least a few dollars, ya think? I did keep one item and still have it. For our first anniversary I went to an antique store and purchased an Elgin 5 ruby pocketwatch guts and had it set into a gold case. It was really cool. I had engraved "for all of time" on the back. He never really appreciated it or me so I kept it when I left him. He understood. I paid $50 and had to save every dime to buy it. He gave me a little heart ring with a chip in it. I still have it too. Thought of giving it to my dd but I think I would rather sell it and buy her something else. I took watch to an appraisal show in town a few years ago. They told me it was worth about $300 and that they would buy it but really suggested I hang onto it as it would appreciate a lot. Even if I sold the case separate from the guts, the guts were pretty unique. They said it was still valuable even with the engraving. I still have it and will probably get around to selling it. Should take it in again just to see. There are not a lot of master watchmakers around these days but there are a few in town that are reputable.

What's on your plate Wednesday evening?
Q
Comments (14)
We go through most of a big bag of chopped kale a week, in our daily greens and fruit 'sludgie ', as an addition to a pot of field peas and rice, and cooked up like collards. Deeby, there are tons of vinegar based slaw recipes out there.....zero vinegar. I'm cooking up a pot of Rice Select mixed grains and rice, cooked with onions and green peppers, a big portion of crowder peas tossed in the pot. It's seasoned with some hot sauce and catsup. It smells so good! It'll go with some left over chicken from a few days ago and sliced tomatoes.

What your thoughts about Wedding Cake rose?
Q
Comments (17)
Plectrudis (viridiflora), I am surprised that you were told it wouldn't do well in the heat. Ralph who bred this rose lived about 45 miles south of me. While I am a tad bit hotter than he was in the summer, our temps are still like the surface of the sun on a summer day. That goes on for weeks on end and it may cool off at night to the 80's or so for about three seconds (give or take). Right now, mid February it is 80 degrees here! A bit unusual but seems to be the trend for the past couple of years. I had to wait about 6--9 months to get my rose on its own root from Burling. I then had it in a pot for over another year before I finally put it in the ground. It wasn't much more than three twigs at that point. I am glad that Burling told me it takes a very long time to develop on its own root. It has been in the ground for a year now. It is about a foot to a foot and a half tall. Slow is the operative word but I am still glad to be blessed with three of them. Here's hoping they will double in size this year. Third year, they should start to leap (keeping fingers crossed). Also, since the flowers last so long on the "bush", it is rarely without flowers even in our heat. Flowers in the heat last about a week and when it is cooler, about two weeks. A long time for a rose bush. I am glad to know there are others who want and like this unusual rose.

What is under your strike plates?

Same as chispa - a proper door install will not have rough gouged out latch bore. It should be neatly chiseled with clean edges then painted or stained as the rest of the jamb. I've never seen a dust cup box but it's a nice touch that's I'd notice and appreciate exactly once!

jeaninwa, love smoked sausage with pepper and onions, but your version sounds really interesting. Might have to try that soon.

gadget, know what? I've only had stuffed peppers once in my long life and never cooked them myself. You did good!

Sharon, I've never had haddock in any form or fashion, Don't think I've seen it on the menu in restaurants in Alabama.

You dinner sounds good!

DH just stopped by my room to say that he was still too full from our breakfast at Heaven on Earth this morning. (I think he is also upset because he hit the corner of the roof putting the Motor Home back beside the house. We now have TWO broken awnings.) Shudda stayed another day up the canyon!

Oh, he had a heavenly Omlet, I had Heavenly pancakes with fantastic Marionberry Jam (half of which I brought home).

We had left over pan fried chicken with cream gravy and corn for dinner that I had brought home from work. Marilyn I am glad you had a better experience than we did on Sunday for lunch. The prime rib did'nt have any taste. Glenda I have never had peanut butter pie there

DH made dinner since I was at soccer practice with the girls. Baked chicken tenders (not breaded), carrots & broccoli, cresent rolls. Pretty basic, but good and it's WONDERFUL when we all eat the same meal! My DDs and DH can be picky!
