bethk wrote:Good news, Jimmy !  You aren't the only one who gets the "munchies" after a Chinese take out meal.  When I got up this morning I found that all the leftover crab rangoons were gone as well as most of the Kung po chicken....I didn't hear anyone during the night, actually slept for over 5 hours straight without awakening....very nice for a change to be sure.

I was really thirsty when I woke up.  I assume that was because of the high salt content in all of our choices...the moo shu, in particular, with the hoisin is a major culprit in that area.  But a nice (watered down) glass of low acid orange juice quenched my thirst much more than the glass of water I drank first.

Beth.. I miss your food pics

Jimmy you have a beautiful GD..oh I like the Brisk ice tea in the bottle..

it's so hot in here.. I did not cook.. we ate lunch at the potluck.. plenty of foods.. many kind of salad, chili bean, menudo soup, pulled pork, a few buckets of KFC.. it surprised me seeing a lot people ate KFC in a potluck party with plenty of good homemade foods.. and oh the desserts.. oh.. lemon cake, chocolate cake, fresh fruits, various cookies, pound cake.. like a little bakery on sale :Dwe did not eat too much though, the small parish hall was packed so there was a long line to get the foods

just now I ate a bit of leftover chow mien for supper, and I'm stuffed,  I drank a big glass of strawberry soda with ice.. it's so refreshing, I know it's not a good habit, but in this extreme heat we have to have some bottles of soda stand by in my fridge... later tonight before going to bed I'm going to make some frozen mango and strawberry smoothies

Barb, I love food on a stick!  How come it seems to taste so much better than when it's just tossed on the grill without the skewers?  Nice supper !

Imelda HL wrote:our late night refreshment... frozen banana and strawberry smoothie.. it's so refreshing for the hot summer nights.. I make it every night, mixed fruits, whatever fruits on sale.. now my freezer is full of fresh fruits, more fruits than meat   I bought a lot of seedless grapes, peaches, strawberry, mango, bananas, they were on weekly sale, 88 cents/lbs for grape and peaches, 50 cents/each for mango, 99 cents/lbs for strawberry.. 49 cents/lbs for banana... so it's time to stock up and make a good refreshment every night

nope.. I use Ninja blender, the cheaper one... I abuse it every day during summer, so far I'm happy with it.. last year I used Magic Bullet and it only lasted a summer.. the machine would not run anymore.. I contacted the CS and did not get any response so when i was at Kohl's I saw this Ninja blender was on sale and I had extra 30% off coupon.. so I got it for very low price

I heard of that blender. We just have a regular old Cuisenart Blender that there are no more parts available. (I'm sure I could find them on line though)
Then we bought the Mr. JuiceMan... OMG We went to the School Auditorium and listened to and watched a man make all kind of juice from the fruits and vegitables. It was a expensive machine. Like $230.00 I think it was. I didn't care. I let TINA Buy It. I made Lots of Money when I was a young worker on overtime; so that payed for the blender It was great, and we used it and friends came over and we made all kinds of juice with it. All the skins and rinds and peels would go in the stainless steel grinder and wind up in the basket in the machine. Then it became a fad. We maybe used it 12 times, and it just now sits in the cabinet.

It was funny, because Tina brought home so many stuff like watermellon, and cantelope and weird fruits and vegetables and berries. Then like,,,Pooof* It became put to sleep in the cabinet with all the other blenders and machines Tina Has. hahahahahahaha...
