We had a rrice and beans, and Tina made beef cubes and gravy...
The kids came over, and brought gifts and cards and a couple cakes and cannoli's and we sang Happy Birthday To Mommy Tina. It's tomorrow the 23rd. (68)y/o

We are gone to Lancaster County PA tomorrow for a weekend and a wedding there.
There will be lots of Mennonites; Amish and a lot of PA Dutch Cooking... Oh! Yeah! Cumm Esse! ( Come Eat )

I got a whole case of digestive aids and enzymes to help us so we can eat eat and eat!!
I may have to become a Bulimic for the weekend!
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha .....

I'm taking the puter with me. They have wifi in the hotel we are staying at. It has a great Bar Too!!
I have the canes and the hot water bottle so I could walk around, or shall I say, at least get into the food lines without difficulty. The hot water bottle, for my tummy! LOL

THE Cakes and Cannoli for Tinas Little Singing Happy Birthday Party!

I am getting her a Sirius XM Radio system for the car and home and computer for her Birthday! I am confused as to the components I need and the next door neighbor is going to help me as to what I need. It is so confusing and I don't want to over pay because I'm not that familiar with the satellite radio stuff yet. Reading the reviews are really disappointing and mixed up to the point that they throw me into the abyss of BS.

Well, for sure, tell Tina "Happy Birthday" for me! Her cakes look luscious....love the fruit one with the pastry creame.

My friends, Lyn & Bill have Sirrius radio in their Lexus - built in. They love it, always listening to some news talk show...

The burgers on the grill were good last night. I had used some 80/20 ground chuck so there was no need to add anything but a little s&p before putting them on to grill. I didn't even butter the buns, just toasted them on the grill until golden.

Turns out the 10 yr. old DOES like deviled eggs, just not too much filling....but the filling he wanted to scrape off added nicely to my serving of potato salad. He likes the potato salad, too, as long as he can pick out the celery. I thought it was the taste of mayonaise or Miracle Whip he objected to, but seems it is the texture of the raw vegetables. At least now, at this age, he is willing to taste and try different foods. But, still a "no" for raw vegetables and any fruit. Do not, however, get in his way if there is a dish of steamed broccoli or green beans on the table. LOL

As soon as Mr. Amazing is done with his nap we're going out for a sandwich. I just want to get out of the house for a little while.

Thanks Beth... Just fired up the puter. Gotta have communications.
The kids have been texting and calling on the cell phones.
Geeze, it's like Boo Hoo...Mommy and Daddy left us! hahahahahaha

We stopped at a favorite diner in Myerstown, PA on 422, and we filled up.
Tina had turkey breast sliced with gravy and filling, and mashed taters and gravy.

I had a big cheeseburger and potato chips with pickles on the side.

Tina is out shopping at the mall down the street. What it is, is she didn't have her car for 3 days because DD was using it because her truck is in the engine shop with MAJOR Engine damage. She bought the truck second hand, and the previous owner (s) neglected to do frequent oil changes. It's one hunk of sludge. The mechanic won't even guarantee the work to repair it it is so much in a failure at anytime state. 3,000.00 just for starters and that is with a 1 second guarantee. She' gonna use it for a trade in on a new or certified truck.

Oh! There were a lot of tears and drama and cursing last night when I gave her the news. And to boot it all, DD will not listen to reasoning. She just refuses to drive a suv or a car. She's Got To Have a Big A$$ Truck.

She gets 11 mpg with this one; if that!!! I told Tina...let her make her own decisions. Stay out of it!

Jimmy, DD#2 use to be that way....then she had an opportunity to buy a new car as opposed to a used truck.  Then, low and behold, she fell in love with the car.  

But don't give any advice....it just falls on deaf ears.  LOL

I put the last of the shredded beef and two sub buns in a freezer meal for Dane when I'm gone. The beef went into a small Tupperware container with a piece of plastic wrap pressed on the beef just in case it might get freezer burn. The last two sub buns got wrapped individually and all went into a bag with reheating/assembly instructions since he'll have to get some mozzarella cheese when he reheats them.

I even put HIS name on the package so DD doesn't think it's for her and Jake....hahahahaha!f

Just got back from dinner. Had mushroom ravioli... excellent.
Tina had grilled meatloaf (dry ) and string beans blanched perfect. No salt so they were not flavorful.

I did not post pics lately, but enjoyed all the dinner pics posted here.. I mostly cooked my home style foods for myself... my DH ate sourdough salami cheese sandwiches for these last few days... today I cooked Spaghetti squash for him... a homegrown squash by our friend.. I microwaved it until fork tender, pulled and added some Italian sausage and spaghetti sauce, topped with Parmesan cheese and red chili flakes

I wasn't sure if I was going to cook last night or go out so in the afternoon I started to prep vegetables for a stir fry. I just wanted to use up the one of this and one of that in the vegetable drawer. So this morning I sliced up a small piece of top sirloin I picked up on sale at the store. I made a marinate with soy, sesame oil, brown sugar, fish sauce, white wine and finely chopped candied ginger. Never used the candied ginger before but I saw it in the pantry and thought it might be a different taste treat. If its no good, well, then I've ruined the entire dish....

So now that everything is prepped, all I'll have to do is make a dish of rice and do a quick stir fry and supper will be complete.

Well, if you want glazed carrots maybe I should share my candied ginger with you....I bet that would be a nice addition for a change of pace flavor

I usually just do a boiled, buttered carrot. I like the leftovers done with peas because I like the colors together.

Thank You Imelda.
We had a great celebration for Tina. I took her to dinner at the Hotel last night.

Yeah! The sirius radio she likes the talk radio. She has all her cd's in the car on the player in the trunk all Bible stories and Religion talk and priests etc. She enjoys that.

She just took a ride to find a Church for Mass tomorrow. She calls it a "Dry Run!" LOL

Your Meal Looks Great. Squash Is good all different ways.
