I love smoked sausage fixed with sweet peppers and onions and then topped with spaghetti sauce on a sandwich. For me just a diet drink tonight, at least it was chocolate!

That sounds good Patti!
Hubby is out teaching drums and won't be home till after 8pm.
So I just made some pasta for myself. He'll want something light when he comes home, so I can heat him the sausage and quinoa leftovers from yesterday. Just enough for 1 serving anyway, and I saved it for him.

Hi Guys! Well, WOW! Lots going on around here, for sure, this week! Dee-So sad to hear about your friend's nephew. That's the nightmare that's always in the back of parents' minds, whether in war or at home, traveling or as a result of an illness, the death of such a young life. No one is ever, ever prepared for it. I just don't understand the order of life sometimes. I stay reminded of this: Why do people have to die? So that others have a reason to live. Raeanne~ Of course, somewhere along the line, I missed that you were going to one of my favorite places: Nantucket. Where are you staying whilst you are there? Patti: CPS is a weird deal. They always say that the kids staying with parents is the best thing, until the situation is dire. I think it's hard enough being a teen, let alone having to wait for the state to take action. I could give everyone an earful about the foster care system, but you already know how I feel! I'm sad for those kids, darnnit! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo frustrating. Milkdud: Three cheers for power. We don't appreciate until it's not there, do we? :-) CONGRATS on taking care of yourself and getting everything done medically for yourself!!!! Many people put this stuff off TOO long. I was supposed to go in June, but am on the books for October now and my doc is expecting me to show up! Peggy~ Good luck at the counselor's place. It does a mind good to TALK to someone who HELPS. I always came out ahead when I went to a counselor! Wodka~ I am in your boat. I really haven't been able to stay on a plan to lose weight. I don't know what it is. I just can't keep the motivation going. I am getting to the point of extreme measures, very soon. I just have to figure out what exactly 'extreme measures' are! Marci~ I think about you and Lucas and his family every day. Your post brought back the stinging memories of 21-year old Brandon's death a few years back. Gone too young and nothing we can do. Well, I will be gone over the weekend; going off the rock to help my DD move to college. DH is coming too this time and G-parents are watching the flock for us. Should be a nail-biting time for me. But...we are having a dinner out w/ friends on Saturday on the mainland. DH and I haven't been out alone in 7-1/2 months. Kids! ---- Hey! Where's Jen? SO glad the punkinhead came through the surgery unscathed and is back to great health SO SOON! Your babies are SO cute, Jen! Okay, I better get packing!

I didn't see your second post, GL. I dunno, your cold soup could have been considered a side....it'll be officially summer, so I'm banking on hot and sunny weather. How about a sweet and a savory? I think some gazpacho would go well with the taco dip. We've been playing with different recipes and liked this one pretty well: * Exported from MasterCook * Gazpacho De Los Angeles Recipe By : Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Soups Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 46 ounce Canned tomato juice 1/2 teaspoon Minced garlic 1 Green bell pepper -- minced 1 tablespoon Olive oil 1 Small onion -- minced 1 tablespoon Chopped chives 1 Cucumber -- peeled & minced 2 Drops hot pepper sauce 2 Canned green chiles -- minced 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce Salt -- white pepper 1 teaspoon Seasoning blend Lemon wedges Combine tomato juice, green pepper, onion, cucumber, chiles, Worcestershire, seasoning blend, garlic, olive oil, chives and hot pepper sauce.

Shambo, I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. I know he had some health issues and you were cooking low salt and healthy meals for him. I'm sending hugs and strong thoughts and prayers to your and your family. Jack, we are kindred spirits, I swear. When I make twice baked potatoes I'll make a whole sheet pan full of them, mine usually just has cheese, butter and sour cream, occasionally I'll add bacon. I freeze them and then package them usually two per package, Mother loves them and they're easy to heat up. Of course someone is always digging through my freezer to see if I have any, all of the grandkids and the kids love them and they make a fast and easy supper. Jasdip, as you know, I love potatoes in just about any form, so being able to grab a package quickly is a luxury. They are quite durable too, LOL. Neely, I have a pile of butternut squash in storage, if only I had a pile of prawns too! sleevendog, that looks pretty to me! Delicious too. No pictures here, today we had hamburgers! Tomorrow we're making sandwiches and having cake and ice cream for Madison's 9th birthday. No party this year, of course, but we bought her a hoverboard, so she'll be happy, even with just her folks and Elery and I. I baked a strawberry cake too, with sea turtles on top, her choice. I'll try to remember to take pictures, and hopefully she won't break an arm or a leg, riding the thing around the kitchen island or something... Annie

Mmmmm Patti it sounds good to me! I haven't made those for awhile, and now I am going to have to do so!

We are having chicken and dumplings and some veggie. Haven't looked to see what I have yet.

Your supper sounds good to me, Patti. In fact, I wish I'd thought of it.:)

We're having cowboy cut, rib-in, rib eye steaks with a mixed green salad and baked potatoes that DH cooks in the infrared cooker. DH has requested the rib eyes pan fried tonight. For some reason, those particular steaks are tastier cooked that way than they are on the grill.

I ate my evening meal with an Amish family tonight.

Menu: Barbecue chicken
Mashed potatoes
Gravy
Homemade noodles
Creamed peas
Salad (it's a combo of regular salad on top of cole slaw)
Homemade rolls with homemade jams

Desserts: Raisin pie
lemon pie (my choice)
berry pie
chocolate pie
angel food cake w/blueberry topping

Drinks: Coffee, tea or water

I'd better not fall down as I think I'd just roll around on the floor.

Shirley, it sounds like you ate at Sue's house! LOL!

Gayle, I wish we had a take-out restaurant nearby that had that. I'd probably eat in/out a lot! I needed a reminder about steaks. I bought a bunch when they were on sale a while back.

Still to hot for chicken and dumplings but it sure sounds good. Ah, well. It'll be cold enough pretty soon.

I would like to go with Lil, especially if she took Boston cream pie.

I straightened out our freezer today and made a vow not to buy any more meat until I've used up a lot of what I already have. I could probably start a mini-meat market :0

Patti: If Sue lived as close as this Amish place is (10 minutes away), I'd see what I could do about getting invited often. lol Unfortunately, I think she's about 300 miles from me.

We had company tonight, so I made lasagna, home made rolls, salad and apple pie. It took some organizing because I work until 4:30, but it always works out.

Susan,
My god, all that work and company on a Tues nite? My hat's off to you! (Can hubby and I come next Tues?) Hahahahaaaa!

On the weekend my neighbour brought over some little pie crusts she had made. They fit perfectly into a little meat-pie tin foil dish.
So I just took 2 little apple pies out of the oven. Mmmmm can't wait till they cool off.
