Too funny....Boni and Emjo - I stopped at a little market on the way home and grabbed a flurry for me and a sundae for mom. Dinner is frozen pizza. Living the high life, we are.

judda:
cauliflower soup - boil up a chunked up cauliflower with some onion and garlic, celery seed, turmeric till soft. I use not much water so I can incorporate it all into the soup. Toss it in a blender (I do it in two batches) and blend adding some (in my case non dairy) milk. Then I adjust the seasoning - salt and pepper, and if I want a cheesy flavour throw in some nutritional yeast. If you eat dairy, use grated cheese. It is hot enough to melt stuff. That's about it except a sprinkle of cheese or non dairy cheese stuff on top. Cayenne can be added and/or roasted red pepper flakes. You could boil other veggies with it too, for variations. If you add green beans and leave out the cheese it turns out much like pea soup. Let me know if you try it. G's mum gave me the idea.
Wedding date not set - need to move mother, repair the basement and a few other things first.
Yes, we will go on a honeymoon to somewhere warm.
I met G online - actually met a lot of guys on line and got two proposals before I even met the guys, and before G. Thankfully he was in the same city, otherwise it might have been a, well setup, good looking, 6'4" jet plane pilot in Massachusetts called... I forget. lol Nah, G is nicer.

boni - I did the same to a 1/2 pint of non dairy choc hazelnut ice "cream" the other day, though I left two spoonsful in the bottom of the carton. I am blaming my thyroid which is high and makes you want to eat everything that isn't nailed down. I did it once before many years ago with a carton of black cherry frozen yogurt. Mmm mmm good. That is not a failure - it is an accomplishment

yaya - it sounds good!

"Italian casserole" tonight...it's a concoction I more or less threw together one night years ago in an effort to use up some leftovers, and it turned into a family favorite: elbow macaroni, homemade marinara sauce, crumbled ground beef, crisp crumbled bacon, and mozzarella cheese. I layer it like a lasagna in a large casserole dish, top it with the last of the sauce, sprinkle more cheese and bacon bits on tip and garnish with a few slices of pepperoni. If I didn't have to cater to some persnickety eaters (hubs included) I'd probably add some mushrooms, black olives, and slices of bell pepper into the mix as well.

Captain - boni's got a great meal all planned for you...look a few posts back!

Hey Emjo: what's in the cauliflower soup? That sounds good. I've tried making my own concoction. I bet I'd like yours. When's the wedding day? Are you going on a honeymoon? How did you meet G?

Gary stays on board! I remember the first stew I made for him. With a far away dreamy look in his eyes, he declared that it was about the best gravy he had ever tasted. I think I have told that story, but can't remember where on AC. Buckle down and make yourself some food, cap. Your liver needs it.

More meat loaf, this time with a mushroom sauce from heaven. I love building layers of flavour. I had added a little sherry but it needed something more so I gave it a shot of red wine too. Just the ticket and it will be better tomorrow. At the end of the week I need to do dishes that I can use to pack lunches for G to take with him on the weekends. Tonight I will serve fresh corn and a green veggie with it and boil up some potatoes for the lunches. He doesn't usually have corn and potatoes - it keeps his lean cowboy figure. I have been nibbling today, so cauliflower soup for me.

It's my hubs 57th birthday, so we splurged with steamed shrimp and steak, sauted portabella mushrooms, deviled eggs and cole slaw, with cupcakes and Ritas custard and gelatto for dessert. Daughter joined us, Mom ate a big plate full ( rare for her) and Dad loved it all. We all had a good time!

Think this belongs in the failures and accomplishments thread - not what's for dinner ;p. I could go on a fantasy trip here, but I won't.

Meat loaf, mashed potatoes and peas -with mushroom gravy, pie for dessert. Now we are back to normal.

Jeanne it is all your fault - you mentioned the will-you-marry-me caramel apple cake. ;)

The stop sign was a "thing" when I was young,

yaya - I think we left ours in the apartment when we moved out, What an image of your mum tooling down the road - scary!!! - and funny

hope22 - you are the smoothie queen!

sharyn - well, it wasn't my mind or my soul he was after, lol. If any of you have done any on line dating, you know what I mean.But he was different. He did want a relationship. Something to not tell your grandchildren - at least until they are older. I thought it was bad enough with ex who is 16 years younger than me.

I was laughing at the stop sign. My brother had one in his room
Joan- I can see why you are pursued by a younger man. You are a very intelligent woman as well as a beautiful soul.

No Sharyn - before G - a 23 yr old who wanted a relationship. He would have been a good catch if I was 50 yrs younger - good job, nice apartment, vehicle, etc. Other than pursuing me he was a normal young man. Go figure..

I still haven't eaten so I guess I won't eat tonight...I created another good shake for Mama. This time...it was using the Jevity 1.2....someone gave me five FIVE cases of this stuff and as yall know it is for feeding tubes, not drinking...I decided to see what I could do with it. I took a can, really cold, added a couple scoops of pineapple sherbet, a little vanilla, a tad of malt powder, a dab of sugar and viola!!! it was GREAT! Mama loved it so I guess I can use it after all!!! woo hooo

We stole a highway sign once...not one of the huge overpass ones but still big. Stuffed it into a van and hung it on the wall in this "party pad" a bunch of our friends went in on together. Wonder what ever happened to it....

Boni, MIL never took her chair off "turtle". One nice summer day about a year ago we took her out for some air and she wanted to go look at the garden out front. Next thing we knew she was toolin' down the middle of the road...and I mean RIGHT down the middle, still on turtle, but she thought she was cruisin'. It's a country road not heavily traveled but cars do tend to come around the bend fast. It was one of those slow motion "nnooooo!" moments that wasn't funny at the time, but funny to look back on now.
