Plans for the weekend? Yes! Bama vs LSU game! Roll Tide!

Friend and I went shopping so Jubilee Joe's was the place to go today.

I had a cup of sausage and chicken gumbo without rice, and then a cup a cajun crab bisque.

Friend had fried flounder fingers.

We both enjoyed.

Soup for me too. Plans include grandsons' hockey games and lots of reading.

A LONG week. Spaghetti.

Glenda, I would've had what you had. Both of those sound delish!

Pam, sounds like a great weekend. Hope your grandson's team wins!

OldFixer, I forgot this is a 3-day weekend! Hope you made lots of spaghetti :-)

Lots of appointments and errands today. To tired to cook much. Bought a rotisserie chicken. I'm keeping it warm in the crockpot. Roasting some cubed butternut squash with some rosemary from my garden. Also trying - for the first time - frozen Bird's Eye creamed spinach. I hope it's good. I have no idea. I was feeling very unambitious in the green veg department.

Another cold and windy day. Spent time talking to some of my sisters, trying to get our last Sister's Day lunch of this year changed to a better weather day next week.

Tonight was a reuben mini-meatloaf, real baked potato, and some red beans. Having the oven on for an hour felt good.

This morning it was 28. They say next week will be very cold week so tomorrow we have to bring in more fire wood. The wood is dry & already split but it needs to be brought into the garage.

For dinner it was homemade chicken pot pie which hubby loves.
I had chicken salad. There will be 2 more meals for hubby which is good.

Well, I will post this again, I didn't think it went the first time. Today I baked 4 pumpkin pies. Two will be delivered tomorrow for our church;s annual chili soup supper, Alyssa took one home with her, and I gave Terri half of one I kept here. Cheryl and I delivered Terri's pie and visited for a bit. My supper was a double cheese burger and a small fry from McDonald's. I had some pumpkin pie too, just water to drink. My plans for the weekend are, deliver the pies with Cheryl and she has cookies to deliver on Saturday. Sunday go to church and I don't know what will be going on the rest of the day.

We had wet flurries on and off over the day. Coming home this morning after hubby played, we drove through heavy snow flurries. I hate being out late at nite in nasty weather. Got home at 2 am.

On the news this morning there were lots of accidents all over.

We had chili served over rice. I'm not a huge chili lover by any stretch, so I like it over rice the best.

I've got pizza dough rising. Need I say more? One will be red and one white.

Seagrass, your dinner sounds really good. You'd never know you'd been busy all day! I like getting a lot done in one day rather than drag it out into several days, even if it does make me really tired. I've had that spinach and I think it was really good--or maybe that was Stouffers??

Shirley, hope you and your sisters worked out a better date for lunch. How many sisters do you have? Wish mine lived closer so we could do lunch. I'm jealous! Is your reuben meat loaf a new recipe?

Mary--good grief--28??? I guess I shouldn't be so surprised since I heard on the news tonight we may get down into the 30's. Just seems so darned cold. That pot pie would hit the spot on such a cold day. Good deal on the leftovers, too!

Sue, once again I'd love to walk in your house just so I could smell it :-) I used to love the chili at those chili suppers.

Jasdip, I just love chili--sometimes I put it over rice or sometimes I add spaghetti. Did the snow stick? Stay warm and safe.

Rhizo, yes. One more thing you need to say and that's what time you plan to serve that pizza. Don't answer the doorbell, because it's probably a long line of KT'ers wanting Friday night pizza!!

We worked on the barn all day. Jody has been home for several days and we have worked on it every day. Since I appreciate it so much, I have fixed a couple of his favorite meals....chicken fried steak last night and made gumbo on Wednesday night and had left over gumbo last night. Tonight we had to go buy horse feed, and stopped at the store on the way back. We haven't had sandwiches in awhile, so had ham sandwiches tonight. I got some new raspberry vinaigrette I want to try, so I may have a salad later too.

We had to go get labs done, the vampires got us lol.
Then we went out and had a cup of gumbo and shrimp po-boys.
Excellent! Beautiful day.

Patti: I am very fortunate to have 5 sisters, one of which is my special needs sister who lives in a Home. Once a month during the better weather months we take food (can be take out or homemade) to the Home and eat together. We only take food for ourselves, and take turns providing for Annie. Since weather is to be very nasty on the 'normal' day, we're trying to get the date changed......still waiting for reply from one.

Reuben meatloaves is a recipe I made up several yrs ago. I already know you wouldn't like it as it contains sauerkraut. lol

Shirley

gadgets, I would love the reuben meatloaf!

I made this recipe using beer as the liquid. (I drank the remainder of the bottle.)

Marilyn, are you building a new barn "from scratch"? That's quite a job. Your dinners sound good and I'm sure Jody appreciates them. I am going to make your cake with the candied fruit in it this year for sure. I bought the fruit quite a while ago. Hope it's still good, although I can't see how it could go bad.

Raven, LOL! Harry used to call his lab work visiting the vampires, too. That shrimp po-boy sure sounds yummy.

Shirley, I think asked you about your sisters before--I have 5 also. I have one brother, too. Yeah, I'm not big on sauerkraut, but that's just me.

Alisande, the recipe sounds good and the picture looks good. Did you like it? I think I'd like it on rice better than mashed potatoes.

tonight was Trivia night at the club. We always get up a table of ladies only. Had a really nice buffet.

This weekend I will be doing laundry and gathering clothes to take on a golf vacation with the ladies. Leaving Monday and returning the following Monday. Looking forward to it and am hoping our remodeling project will almost be done when I return. I'm getting sick of this mess.

Sorry, I meant to add that it was delicious. I think it would be good on noodles, too.

Molly & I worked in the house all day cleaning & doing laundry. Tony had a hectic day at work & was starving when he got home, So we settled for Chic Fil La(sp) Got a busy weekend ahead. Got the Auburn/Tennessee game to watch in the morning then my cousin & her hubby are coming over to watch the Alabama/LSU game tomorrow night. Then Sunday we are going shopping for outside decorations for the house at The Christmas Tree Shops. They are giving veterans & active duty personnel a 20% discount on all sales...We need outdoor decorations bad..

Reuben Mini-meatloaves

1 lb very lean ground beef
1 sm can sauerkraut, rinsed/drained (this removes a lot of the excess salt)
1/3 c oats, soak about 5 minutes in about ü cup milk
1 egg
1 T minced dried onions
1 T dried parsley flakes
ý tsp thyme
salt/pepper to taste
3 T miracle whip
2 T ketchup

Mix together all but beef and sauerkraut. Add sauerkraut and mix well. Add ground beef and mix only until it holds together. Divide into 8 to10 mini-loaves, place in a baking dish. Bake covered for approx 25 min @375 degrees, then remove cover and bake an addt'l 10 to 15 min or until done.

Glenda: Forgot to say that the can of sauerkraut is one of those that are intended for about a single serving size. I usually double the recipe so use the approx 14 oz size.

Shirley

DH was out of town all week & got back last night around 6pm. We went to see Thor & then splurged on a meal at The Melting Pot. No plans for the weekend except doing some things around the house.

Patti, we are building a lean-to to an existing barn. Three stalls and then going to put three stalls across the end. It's not as much work as building an entire new barn, but still with two people, it is a pretty big job.

I bought the fruit for the fruit cake last November but then had my teeth done and was told not to eat nuts, so I have also kept the fruit all this time. I asked Jody the other day if he thought it would still be good...and he said he didn't see how it could go bad. ;) Anyway, I want to make one too, and I may go ahead and buy new fruit and give the old to Pig Newton and Pig Lee. They aren't very picky about food.

oops...posted on wrong day...moved it to Saturday
