Turkey tacos for Katie, beef tacos for Joe. I had leftover turkey meatloaf from last night. Joe went to the store today and came home with a pumpkin that was covered in black warts. It looks diseased.

NormM wrote:Thanks for the whole recipe. I looked up poppy seed dressing in the internet and picked one that i thought was close.
I wonder if sliced hard boiled egg slices would be a good addition.

A 5 quart cast iron pot, you'll need an elephant to help you lift it! LOL
Surely the soup sounds really good! The sandwich,.....over the top!Crybaby wrote:My mom never cared for tomato soup so she never served us tomato soup, though she did offer it to us. You know how that is: If your own mom doesn't like it, you figure you won't either.
I've had it once or twice in my life, I think, and guess it was canned and I wasn't too much of a fan. I asked Brian if he liked it and he said he'd had canned tomato soup growing up with grilled cheese sandwiches (a classic!) and he was "okay" with it.
I've been having this recipe from The Pioneer Woman on the Cooking Channel for The Best Ever Tomato Soup that had zillions of really good reviews online. Even though I had all the stuff to make the soup, I never got around to it until this afternoon.
We both wanted a light dinner early tonight so I decided to cut the recipe in half and have it with sandwiches. Brian just got some super sliced turkey at the store, and he also picked up some nice hearty sandwich rolls from the bakery. So I made sandwiches for us with turkey, Swiss cheese, thinly sliced chorizo sausage, and some very thinly sliced imported ham (jamon) on rolls with just mayo and Dijon mustard.
And I made the tomato soup, which turned out to be absolutely delicious. Brian loved it, too. And it was so quick and easy that it took less than 15 minutes to make. In case someone wants to give it a whirl, here's the recipe.
Best Tomato Soup Ever

I was also looking forward to a baked delicata squash..
Well, I had the squash in the oven, it was half way done. I went over to take the steak out of the refrigerator; My wrist/hand gave out and the Corelle dish fell on the ceramic tile floor!!
Yup, you guessed it.. The Corelle shattered into a million pieces!! It was bad..
There went my supper...my great butcher New York Strip Steak!!!
Good thing Artie was not inquisitive until I was finished cleaning it up...
There were shreds of Corelle all over the place..
I actually thought of keeping the steak for supper, after I wiped it off...but my conscious got the best of me...
Really, considering my luck, I decided to toss the steak. I mean, knowing me, I would have gotten a piece of sharp Corelle cutting up my stomach or bowels or something...
sigh....Yes, the squash continued to bake.. I will reheat it tomorrow, after I got to the butcher, (again) to pick up either a piece of chicken, or a pork chop, or a pork tenderloin....I really fell as if I need meat and a good dinner...
Planning on a Protein, the squash, and possibly a potato --?????...

I'm not being a baby about it, but I just feel, that it's easier to slow down a bit, instead of doing things with speed, and falling or injuring myself.
Beth wrote:Yesterday we spent the day at Dane's sister's. She had a patio door that took two men and a truck to open and close. Last time Dane was there he said he'd return with his tools to fix it for her. She was convinced that wasn't possible but didn't have the $700+ to replace the door unit. So today we made the hour and a quarter trip and, of course, Dane fixed her slider for her....for about $25. She was over the moon happy and apologized for doubting her brother's abilities.
After the door was repaired we went to the local restaurant for the best fried shrimp in central Florida.
We got home about 9 pm and I went to bed....it was exhausting supervising the two of them all day!
