Jimmy, do you have the picture of shark cookies, I'm curious how it looks like

I don't know, but I will try to get one. DD has pics.

DD uses a butter dough, and uses a cookie cutters to get the fish shape.

I just looked at this again, and saw the colour on you feathered friend's head and chest. Great picture.

10 - minute supper......Chicken Chunks drizzled with the Teriyaki Sauce, microwaved broccoli (3 minutes), noodles for me (8 minutes) and leftover fried rice for HIM......

Darlene came down to chit chat and didn't leave until 4:45 ~ she doesn't have supper until 6:30 and thinks everyone else is the same.  ((Dane says supper is at 5:00! ~ ~ unless I don't have it ready and then it's whenever I say, "Time to eat!"     LOL))

That's funny you mentioned that. That was the discussion at the 6:00 dinner tonight. It varies, but we eat around 4:30 and 5:00.
The kids eat late ~~ 7:30 - 8:30. Mad    Way too late for me and Tina.My question to Tina was, "Who decided what time dinner was to be eaten?"

I don't know Beth, but if it were a little more plump, I may give it a second thought that you would. hahahahahaha
Like in the movie, they ate duck for their thanksgiving bird.

Bird looks kinda scrawny anyway!

Leftovers tonight developed into a new, delicious dinner for me. I had been snacking today, didn't feel like cooking so I looked what I had in the fridge. Some couscous leftover from last night and part of a container of marinated seafood. You know, some shrimp, baby octopus tentacles, squid rings, hot peppers and little onions in oil. Combined them and I think I have a new meal Yumm! but no picture.

We eat at 2 PM, lunch/dinner, whatever you want to call it. Usually around that time my MiL is hungry (she has a pastry or a bowl of oatmeal/cereal at 9 AM for her breakfast), it will be D's brunch ( he only drinks coffee in the morning), sometimes we have evening/night snacks, my MiL likes a piece of pie and ice cream, D and I will have whatever snacks or seasonal fruits we have handy.

Been in the hospital this week. The chemo made me so sick. I couldn't eat or drink. Everything tastest like burnt tires. I fainted at the top of the stairs and rolled all the way down. Head and neck are pretty sore. Now I have to be on TPN 24 hours a day so I don't die from starvation. I am home now so I can try different things that dont taste so bad. My hair is starting to fall out so now I have to find some scarves.

Oh, goodness, Bugs ~ I'm so sorry it's not going well.

How long are your scheduled chemo treatments?

You're always in my prayers for a speedy recovery and to be pain free. Hang in there. It's got to get better.

I am supposed to have 3 more chemo sessions, each one 21 days apart. Each session is 3 days of poison dripped into my body. The stuff is brutal. Everything tastes like burnt tires. My stomach hurt and I am nauseous. And now my hair is starting to fall out. I had to have a picc line put in for feedings.

Praying for you.....

OH DEAR! I'm sorry that you're having to go through this. However, I do know (at least in part) what you're going through. I am now 22 years past my sessions and I hope and pray that you will come through it also and we can look forward to reading about your adventures soon.

Debbie, you are in our thoughts always.

Leftovers for today. We got a doorknob notice by the power company
stating they had to shut down power to work on the lines today at between 9 & 3 PM
We got the generator ready, and circuits selected. They parked down the road, shut off power at 9:05, and the Generator had come on; and all ok. At 10:00..... power came back on. So, all that for less than an hour of no power. I say, better to be prepared.

It's hot today ~ we're going out to eat tonight ~ So, no cooking in the kitchen.


I'm happy!

Things changed.... Not many leftovers; so....
So far..... we had appetizers of beer battered; cheese stuffed zucchini flowers.
I had a Kosher salami sandwich on rye bread. DD is having grilled chicken, and grilled steak for her boy friend.
Tina had mashed potatoes. Her stomach can tolerate that when she is feeling ill.
It's like a Diner here. Everyone having something different.😊

From Lore:


"Made a stupid, stupid mistake a few days ago. I bought what I thought was shredded mozzarella. That’s the white pieces that look like raw spaghetti on my stuffed mushrooms and pepper! It’s a vegan cheese! I wanted to make stuffed mushrooms using rice, yellow pepper, some already fried mushrooms and onions and some small pieces of the bass I was also baking. I thought I had bought cheese and started to wonder about it when I saw that it was not melting in the oven. Even the pieces that are in the middle of the stuffing stayed as hard as raw spaghetti. The flavour of my stuffing is great, I hope the vegan crap softens up in my stomach or intestines before I get rid of it.

I only ate about half of what I made, not sure if I’m keeping the rest or it goes in the garbage. Will try to replicate the stuffing using real cheese another day."

Thanks, Imelda! We went to one of the 'nicer' country clubs.....Lobster Bisque, Filet of Beef with a Port Wine Sauce, Mashed Potatoes, Broccoli/carrots and Creme Brulee for dessert ~ along with a couple fabulous Peach Cosmos to drink.

Quite honestly, after the way I felt from overeating ~ I'm glad we don't do that often!


**************

Tonight I have some chicken thighs seasoned to cook on the gas grill and some cauliflower broken up to get browned with a bit of olive oil, red pepper flakes and s&p. I'll pre-cook a potato in the microwave and finish it on the grill so we can split it between the two of us.

I also made a garbanzo bean salad ~ cucumber, onion, carrot, tomatoes, celery with a lemony Greek dressing I made (equal parts of lemon juice & olive oil, s&p, Greek oregano and a tiny bit of honey to balance the fresh lemon juice). I'm glad Lore mentioned how she cooked her dry Garbanzo beans ~ so easy to do and so good! I've found if I soak them overnight they are cooked in less than 30 minutes ~ I add salt after 20 minutes and that seems to be just right for my taste.
