I made my special spaghetti sauce yesterday. Today we are having 11 friends over for dinner. They are bringing the salad, garlic bread, wine and dessert. I do this once a year in the fall.

I don't think I have a plagte. Is that something new?

Kelly, I think the table would look much better on my porch. :) Those are perfect color combinations too. It won't get rained on will it? I have two recent spots in my home. Now that the sun is shining through the windows again I love looking at my utility room in the afternoons. It also makes a nice plant hospital for the other plants in my house in case they get sick. Not a good picture because of the shadows on the shutters. They look really dark in this picture, but they're a light cream. Below is the lamp I bought specifically for the sofa table, but stupid me forgot how dark shades give off poor light, even though this is a 3-way. But the lamp found a new home in a small corner in the living room and it's perfect there. The area really highlights the embroidery on the shade. You can't tell from this picture but the two walls are only about 3 feet wide, which makes it a fun and difficult spot to decorate.

Last few year we have had only 1-5 kids and we lived in a small town, but at the edge. This year in the assisted living home, they open the doors for about 2 hours and they say the get 100-200 kids. BUT it is he clients choice. If they want to give, they put a picture of a pumpkin on their door, or just sit in the hallway. If you don't want to do anything, just keep the door closed. Today, all the staff dressed up in costumes and the resident s really enjoyed it. It was fun

Grandson's birthday party was held in the afternoon. Went back to their house for gift unwrapping and finally left at 7:30. Stopped at a diner and had chicken noodle soup, chicken fried steak, baked potato, mixed steamed veggies and french bread and butter with iced tea. Burp.

Today I spent the day at an amusement park. I don't eat park food so my friend and I stopped at a local family restaurant. I had a French Dip made on their special house bread instead of the usual roll. Their bread is similar to a Dutch Crunch. Once they ran out of rolls and made my sandwich on a hunk of that bread they cut into a roll. I have requested it that way since. I brought half home and it's reheating in the toaster oven as I type. For dessert I stopped and had a a strawberry ice cream cone, again at a local mom and pop place that carries Marianne's Ice Cream from Santa Cruz Ca.

Yours both sound a lot better than mine. We're having baked chicken breast, steamed broccoli, biscuits and an apple/pear galette (if I get around to making it).

Hope you both enjoy your company. Salut!!

I have a corned beef brisket in the slow cooker. When it's done, I'll use the cooking liquid for the cabbage, carrots and potatoes. It's starting to smell good in here!

Glenda, even if I am given a chance to edit, I am likely to hit submit without ever seeing my mistakes. Enjoy your company today. I know they will enjoy what you cook.

Anyway, It will probably be in a bowel and not on a plagte here today. I made 6 quarts each of chicken soup and cabbage soup Thursday and Friday. Put some in the freezer, gave some to DD and today we will clean up some of each for dinner. In exchange for the soup, DD gave me some to die for home made olive bread, so that will complete our meal.

We went out for breakfast. A banquet hall in a little nearby town, has a big breakfast buffet on weekends and a smaller breakfast buffet all week long. You name it and they have it, and it is well prepared too.

I am not much on breakfast...I don't eat very many breakfast foods...but I had pork chops, hash browns, a piece of bacon, a little piece of sausage, biscuit, gravy, sliced strawberries....and put a cream cheese kolache in my pocket to bring home for my favorite possum.

After eating such a big breakfast....don't plan to have much else the rest of the day.

Hope you enjoy your day with family, Glenda.

Salmon, baked potato and corn. Sometimes I wish one of you good cooks lived next door to me. I could put on my sad face so you'd take pity on me and share. lol

I had Taco soup for lunch. Supper will be leftovers. Maybe something with the pork chops and gravy, baked potatoes and peach pie we have. Should I cut up the chops in the gravy and serve over potatoes?

The jambalaya was terrific, but the Paula Deen Eclair cake was a dud! Very dry.
Fudge was enjoyed.

No plates here, DH brought me a taco salad to work and I ate it
about 3 PM and he had some tacos. If we get hungry later, we'll
nibble on something.

We had Meatloaf that was okay...DH wanted Beef stew.

I hosted my Book Club today, so I was busy cleaning and making desserts. Made Key Lime Pie, Banana Bread and some little chocolate cream puffs. Everything was good, (banana bread was all gone) but the cream puff things were kind of so so IMO.

Need to think about dinners for this week. I have some salmon that I could fix. And shrimp that needs to be cooked, but other then that...

Glenda I know the dinner you were preparing for your family had to be fantastic! It sounded so good. You are such a sweet lady and I just want to know was your generous b-day gift acknowledged?
