Did Anyone Have Supper This Evening?

15 years ago

I have been gone most of the day and by the time it was supper time, I was too tired to fix much for myself so I had a bowl of cereal. I had a nice chicken salad, with apples, cranberries, and pecans from Wendy's for lunch. What did you have this evening?

Home made whole wheat bread spread with cream cheese, spiced up with paprika, pepper, garlic salt and celery salt.

Nice tall glass of milk to go along.

I had a pasta left over dinner for lunch.

does anyone grow Evening Primrose?
Q

I have a packet of "Common Evening Primrose" I was going to plant in a bare area that has high red clay content and was looking for how to plant it in the seed form but now after reading these I might bury it in a time capsule somewhere under ground. But my packet says "Oenothera lamarckiana" and I've not seen that scientific name in any of these threads. Mine came from Victory Seeds which is pretty reliable source for me. Would it be ok for a remote area on a farm where nothing but scrub pines grow to cover up red clay bank? Heck, I was going to plant some in a flower garden at the house.

Even worse...anyone here ever had to deal with bedbugs? (long)
Q
Comments (19)
I thought we had bedbugs about five years ago. It was during the summer, and at first I thought the bites on my skin were from mosquitos. But then I realized they were all under my clothes. And they itched even more than mosquito bites. They were wildly itchy. It was really intense. And they kept coming. I heard around the same time about outbreaks of bedbugs in NYC, and thought I must have been infested. But I hadn't been traveling. I called our state university extension office for advice, and the agent asked if I lived in an old house (yes) and if we'd ever had bats. I told him we used to have a large colony of bats, but they'd left a year or so earlier. He said we most likely had batbugs. Batbugs look a lot like bedbugs, he said, but they live off bats. After the bats left they eventually went looking for another source of food: me! He said they were coming down from the attic at night into my bedroom. This was very easy for them to do because my ceiling is the attic floor, with nothing over or under it. On his advice, I set off insecticide bombs in the attic. That took care of the problem, thank heavens. Boy, did those bites itch! I can barely write about it without scratching . . .

Anyone remember pie suppers?
Q
Comments (19)
Oh yes! I have heard about 'pie suppers', except in my case, it was 'box lunch or supper' that contained a pie. The last one I attended was in the 1950's. It was a community fund raiser held at a country school. The box lunches were acutioned, one at a time, and went to the highest bidder. The young men did their best dectective work to try to discover which box belonged to their favorite girl so they could concentrate their bids on that box. Well, they got it right only about 50% of the time. The gals could hardly contain themselves during the bidding because they knew their own box and several other as well. After the bidding was finished, the gals that belonged to the boxes walked to the winning bidder revealing who he had won to dine with. It was supposed to all in good fun, but jealousy could rear its ugly head and spoil the atmosphere. Maybe this is why it lost popularity, or becasue small, close knit, isolated, communities are a thing of the past.

What's For Supper this Tuesday Evening?
Q
Comments (18)
I went to the buffet today, well, guess it was technically "yesterday" as of now. The potato salad and coleslaw are a bit old now so I don't want to risk it and I haven't eaten out for quite a while now since I got the stove and frig replaced. It was so hot and humid (90+Â°+ temp & 70+Â° dewpoint) I didn't feel like cooking anything and thought it'd feel good to go spend some time in a cooler place so I decided to treat myself. It was pretty good. I even had some coffee and no way would I have had that at home with the weather as it was.

LOL! I was supposed to make beef stew with the leftover roast. Forgot I had a parent teacher conference and I had leftover spinach enchiladas instead. The kids had microwave stir fry rice meals.

My boss was traveling today so I took advantage and played catch up on a bunch of stuff! Before I knew it hubby was home and I hadn't even thought of supper yet. So I dug thru my recipes and we had low carb pizza! It was great!

DH cooked some chicken breasts and veggies on the grill. I also made a batch of cornbread. Pretty tasty! We made a double batch so that will probably be Friday's dinner too!

Wings and celery from BW3's DH got the wrong wings for him, way too hot to eat, and he loves hot stuff.

Take out pazones from Pizza Hut. My first time. They're pretty good when you inhale them, yelling, "You stupid $$#&^", cough, choke. "Yeah, BABY!"

Oregon vs. Cal tonight.

I'm going to start a Build a Duck store and wipe out Build a Bear store.

Quack Attack!

I had been shopping and brought home one of those $1 chicken sandwiches from McDs. Later I finished off what was left of a carton of Chocolate Cookie Crumb ice cream. You know how it is when there is too much to eat, but not enough to leave in the carton?

Those little sandwiches are really good.

Now I'm snacking on Graham Crackers.

I'm not a big eater, so often my meals are like that.

I love those Wendy's salads! Last night I made breaded pork chops with onions and apples, stuffing, a salad, and crescent rolls. I also made a big pot of spaghetti for the kids to eat over the next couple of days while I work.

Had Texas chili....made with ground beef, cumin, cayenne, chili powder, etc, jalapenos, tomatoes and sauce. No kidney beans in this recipe, which is why I like it better than regular chili.

It has a real kick, so I always make rice to eat with it. Had some aging romaine so made a Greek salad to go with it, and garlic bread.
