September 2016, Whats for Dinner??

Bugster2 wrote:One of my husband's employers did the same thing except it was a Porsche. He was buddies with someone at Porsche. One year he ordered a car and Joe and his boss went over to pick it up and drive around Germany for a week. My husband took that car out on the autobahn and got it up to 180mph. Fortunately he had had a lot of training driving sports cars. I almost passed out when I heard how fast he went. Eventually the car was sold to make room for another. My husband had to sell it and I remember getting phone calls and arguing with the callers about the car. When I told them it had been purchased in Germany and driven around they told me that it wasn't legal in CA. Excuse me but it is. It was a car made for CA with all the CA smog stuff on it. Well, they didn't believe it or they didn't believe me. Never again.

Bugster2 wrote:Jimmy, somewhere something you ate was bad. It hit you first and Tina second. That is how it works sometimes. You are lucky you weren't on the toilet with a trash can in your lap. Could have been the sour cream. Things like that usually hit within an hour and a half after eating it. If I were you I would toss everything that was in that stroganoff and the stroganoff. Food poisoning is no fun.

Methinks that my sister is coming home Saturday (I hope). I envy her going to Vienna. I suddenly have Strauss waltzes going through my head.

I was just telling Tina. It could have been the eggplant. They are loaded with seeds. We both have diverticulosis ! Hmmmm I wonder?

We will pray you get relieved of your job duty soon Deb.

Too bad ~ tonight's pot roast with onions, potatoes and carrots, with pan gravy, was just about as perfect as it gets.  The last chuck roast I cooked was in the Crock Pot and didn't seem to get tender until I simmered it for an additional two hours the next day.  Today's pot roast got the old fashioned oven roast (started at 1:30 p.m.), seasoned & floured and seared on the stove top, a few glugs of some red wine and fat slices of onion on top of the meat ~ added potatoes and carrots about 4 p.m. and we ate a little before 5:30 p.m.

Fall apart perfect.  The gravy wasn't too thick, and it had tons of flavor.

So, for the glutton who has no self-control....................Too bad ~ Hahahahahaha!

I want to try this travel on my own while I can still enjoy it.. I'm looking forward also to meeting some nice people!

Joe brought me a Jack n the Box cheeseburger, if you want to call it that. Only took a couple of bites.
I went into my niece's bedroom today and found fur-ensics all over the bed. There must have been a heck of a cat fight between her cats.
I think I may see if I can sneak out of here on Friday since they are coming back on Saturday. Can't wait to get home.
