I'm afraid it's one of those 'indecision' days when nothing sounds good but I have to make something.

I guess I'll go back through the previous months and look for inspiration.

Two things! Looks good Norm. Is that a hot cherry pepper in the salad? If so, I love them.
Then there is something I picked to ask right away. The paper on the butter. Do you keep it like that in the fridge?..... Or on the counter?

How was the addition of the milk in the picata? I think mine just calls for letting the sauce reduce in the pan fond with the flour from the chicken to help thicken (although I usually would add a bit more flour to the pan after I removed the browned filets).  

Chicken Picata is one of my favorites but Mr. Amazing isn't a fan of anything 'lemon', except desserts.  But I fix it once in a while and he mentions again how it's not his 'favorite'.  I always comment something like, "oh, I didn't realize that...."

LOL

If we have grandchildren here and they want to go to the beach I only like it if the water temperature is too cold for them to be in past their knees.  They can walk up & down the beach and look for sea creatures & shells but there's no need to make Grandma a nervous wreck worrying about them being carried out to sea on a rip tide or having a shark grab them.....yes, I can imagine the worst!

I took a surprise out of my freezer a couple of days ago, and it was some stuffed peppers.  Had some for two days, nothing tonight as far as eating goes.  Can't swallow worth you know what.  I have strep throat.  I think I mus have swallowed some barbed wire!

Oh No Lore! Bless you ! ... Feel better soon. Hey! don't forget the gargle with salt water; and sip on lemon juice with honey added to it. Eat well done toast and swallow hard. Mom said, "It scratches the poison away!"
Lots of chicken broth / soup home made, and make sure it has garlic in it.
You probably heard this one...?.... My mom, god love her, she would rub our throats and chest with Vicks Vapo Rub. Then, before bed time, she would take a teaspoon and scoop just the tip of the spoon, of the Vicks Vapo Rup, about 1/8 tsp. , and we had to swallow it, and wash it down with hot tea. We never got sick from it, but boy, we got better fast.

We are dropping off our ballots today, maybe we can go to the California Pizza Kitchen for pizza afterwards.

I need some new mixing bowls. I have two sets of plastic ones that have seen better days. I don't like glass so the choice is between melamine or stainless and I will be downsizing to one set. What kind of mixing bowls do you have?
