Janet, those sound really good. I'll have to get a recipe and make some. Only I cheat with pie crusts, I buy them premade.

Dinner tonight will be chicken legs. Wish I could grill them, like Tami's, but the grill is out of gas. So, I'll bake mine and use homemade BBQ sauce. Since we had potatoes and mixed veggies last night, I may make rice or noodles as a side.

The chicken was very good. I made noodles and sauce.

I found a head of cabbage way in the back of the fridge. I really should clean it out more often, all kinds of neat stuff in there.
Well anyway, now I can make another cabbage soup. I love cabbage soup, and it's great for weight loss.
I will make this one a little different. Lots of celery and tomatoes and garlic, onions, basil and thyme. Oh boy.

We got that winter blast they promised! Went from 79º yesterday to 28º today. We actually got the freezing rain, then sleet and finally a little bit of snow. Not enough to build a but still pretty!

So, with the chilly weather I am brewing up a big pot of chili!

Have a great evening everyone!

It got really cold here today, too. Yesterday, it was 55°F and today at lunch time it was 16°. Brrrrrr!

I tried a new recipe tonight for dinner, Chicken and Broccoli Divan. Very good and a keeper (except when DH is around, he's allergic to anything green). Very warm and filling.

Sorry about the 3 posts one page back - I kept freezing up last night and had to get back on just to finish typing and reading!

Lisa, I have two walls completely cleared, and the other two have the vinyl part removed and I just have to scrape the paper backing part. I gave myself tonight off. My one knee gives me grief when I overdo it, and I obviously overdid it yesterday, so I think I'll take it easy and finish on Saturday.

DD1 made smoked sausage, potatoes, cabbage for dinner while I supervised. I'm not supposed to use my hand for 5 days.

DD1 and I had a dinner adventure tonight. I picked her up from art club at 5 and just as we pulled into the driveway she said, oh we forgot to drive by the north building so I could get my lunch, I said, okay and we'll just go get a pizza now that we have to make a return trip instead of doing one at home (I know not frugal at all). So we went to get the pizza ordering from Dominoe's in the car on the cell phone.

But then I saw the Korean restaurant next door and while waiting for the pizza (they were so slow it was like a time warp in the pizza place) I ordered what I thought was an innocent selection from the Korean menu. We had just watched the Top Chef show last night where they served Korean food and I thought it might be worth it to make a small try. It ended up being some sort of beef and noodle soup thing when I thought it was going to be a stir fry so I don't even know that I got what I ordered for takeout.

But making the side dishes choices took me forever. And everything was so different. There were 8 choices and only the pickles looked familiar. I tried the kimchee, a kind of spicy pickled cabbage, and it was all right. I tried the potato salad, it had apple pieces in it and it was very good, chilled. And then I tried this thing that looked like thin slices of tofu but it was fish. And it was decent, so those were the side dishes. At which point the dd1 came in and asked what happened to me and where was the pizza.

So we went over to get the pizza and she wanted brownies so that was another 10 minutes. Then the Korean food was ready -- before the pizza order! I told you the Dominoes was slow. 45 minutes later we had a pizza, brownies, and some strange looking soupy thing with what looked like already chewed beef floating in it. Once home I tried the soup and decided to let it sit until tomorrow. Now I am having a cup of blueberry and cream tea. Maybe now sleep will come.

It felt like the whole evening was something out of the Time Warp Trio books. By the time we got our food the school hallways would have been gated off so no lunch box pickup happened.

Odd rainy evening it was. I think I had dinner. Perhaps my idea for a burger earlier in the week would have been a better choice? But then there would have been no new adventure.

Made salmon tonight with butternut squash & cauliflower. The butternut was delicious made in the microwave. Didn't even need butter it was so sweet.
Made Dh a birthday cake in the microwave. In eleven minutes the bundt cake was done. This time used a butter flavored cake with real butter shortening. Used chocolate frosting on the cake as it cooked.
Mom said it was the best cake I have made. Need some company to help me finish it.
