Jo's Kitchen (and yes, the coffee IS on...)

[JustJo]

Good morning everyone :)

Thanks for breakfast Zimmy...that sounds yummy! Coffee is on... help yourselves...

http://www.surfersam.com/articles/coffee/coffee-three-ways.jpg

Long time no see Lips...the Berkshires are beautiful...sounds like a nice, relaxing time. I used to drive through them regularly and always enjoyed the view, especially in the fall when the leaves where turning.

Had a busy morning already...taking care of the pool, emptying the dishwasher, doing laundry, and switching to a covered cat box that I'm hoping the kitties will accept and use...we'll see.

Scoote is off exploring yard sales...my eyes weren't up to it this morning. Sounds crazy...but walking around in the sun looking at stuff didn't sounds as good as sitting on the couch where I could close my eyes and rest them periodically. Getting older is not all fun and games. :cheesy:

Hope you're all having a nice, relaxing weekend. :gimmehug:

[Andrea]

Happy weekend, everyone!

I am enjoying a second cup of creamer with coffee while I make a veggie frittata for my honey. (I am so not a cook so please cross your fingers for him.)

Today will be spent rototilling and planting our community garden spot. I hope some of the other gardeners will be there so we can get to know them.

I also love that the time will be spent bonding with my honey's best friend, because we are sharing the plot. We don't see her nearly enough.

I anticipate a limited movement day tomorrow. LOL Thank you in advance to whoever makes the coffee.

:byebye:

[Zimmeh]

Dinner is served!

Tonight, we are having the following: grilled chicken, with light garlic salt, basil and crushed red pepper; rice with crushed red pepper and basil; green peas with a dash of garlic salt and basil with fresh French rolls from Alexia. Dessert is up to all of us...

Enjoy!

Good morning everyone,

Well, the SeaWorld trip is cancelled, and I'm the only one awake...including critters. Evidently it's raining in Orlando and the Prince didn't want to wake up anyway.

So...not sure what the day holds. Had a talk with a friend whose nephew just died in a car accident...then a long much-needed and overdue talk with my best friend (who I miss like crazy).

Coffee's on.... :bringcoffee:

[Leigh]

Gooooooooood afternoon Jo, Scoote, Zimmy and everyone ~ hope your all having a fantastic sunday :-)

[Zimmeh]

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I am really wanting a huge strawberry milkshake! It is hotter than I don't know what outside!!!

I will be back later; I'm going to take a nap!

Zimmy

[JustJo]

Good morning everyone :)

Coffee's on...

http://www.onestopwebmasters.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/coffee-music.jpg

We're going a little fancy because...ugh...it's Monday. :(

Somehow the weekend just flew by. We did go see Rise of the Planet of the Apes on Saturday night...which I enjoyed. And Scoote and I managed a lunch out yesterday...otherwise, ummmm....I took care of the pool and baked cookies. :giggle:

Not my most productive weekend ever. *sigh*

I did manage a very long chat with my best friend. I miss our Sunday morning breakfasts....just sitting, eating, talking, drinking cofee, more talking, more coffee, more talking, more coffee :)

I keep trying to convince her to move down here, but that would involve her leaving her husband, her job, her house....yea, unlikely. They celebrated their 19th anniversary on Saturday so, even when she wants to kill him, I think she's in for the duration.

Back to work for me....hope you all have a great day. :gimmehug:

[The_Lady_Snow]

Buenos días Ms Jo!!! Have a productive Monday everyone!!!!

:bringcoffee: Coffee is ready and breakfast is served...

http://www.wearegeniuses.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/dennys1.jpg

I'm having my first cup of coffee for the day....and savoring it before I race out to mow the front lawn. It's getting long and if I don't do it before Scoote gets back from physical therapy, then she'll do it and hurt herself more. And she calls me stubborn.... (actually we both are!)

My new morning routine....put the coffee on, go outside and play pool boy (check chemicals, adjust levels, brush sides and steps, skim net the top)...then back inside for coffee, check emails and start my work day.

Somehow I need to get my exercise routine in there too....I'm discovering that if I don't do it in the morning then it doesn't get done...

I'm off to mow! Hope you all have a great day! :gimmehug:

[Andrea]

Great big CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!, Zimmy.

[Andrea]

After we worked the community garden on Saturday, we came home to find the house burglarized and ransacked. They wiped us out of anything of any value. <heavy sigh> Went and bought a new laptop because I can't stand being without the internet and well, it is time to pay the bills and I don't remember how to do it without my computer. LOL

We are looking at the situation as a way to make us purge stuff we don't use or don't need. I am washing all the clothes they touched (almost everything) and making a pile to keep and a pile to donate.

We were devastated they took our fire safe (didn't get the key) because it has sentimental items in it, but after checking our safety deposit box, we realized we had moved most everything there. About the only thing of importance in the box is passports and those are replaceable.

Thank goodness for good insurance coverage.

Jo, coffee and breakfast is greatly appreciated. Yummmm!!!

Oh gosh that is too bad about that. I hope no one was hurt and you are alright!!

Congratulations to Zimmy on the position and going to the reunion in October!! Its been hot and humid here the past few days so not too comfortable but its better than winter as far as I am concerned!! We will probably head back upstate next week as it is cooler there and relaxing and all!! I hope everyone has a good day and the rest of the week!! Going for the second cuppa again! :)

[The_Lady_Snow]

Zimmy!!!!!!! Congrats on the new job!!!!!!!

Good Morning java peoples! Hope everyone is having a fabulous Tuesday!!!

[Zimmeh]

Good Evening Andrea,

I am sorry to hear of what happened to you! I hope the cops find the idiots and make them spend a few years in jail..That might teach them a lesson!

Hugs and have a good night,

Zimmy

[Andrea]

I got the coffee going and laid out some pastries. I am needing a caffeine and sugar fix this morning to get my dragging behind moving.

Mercury being in retrograde is taking a toil on our normally drama free lives. Burglary, back issues, attorneys, problems with neighbors, absent landlords using my honey as property management, flat tire, etc. This morning I killed a cockroach in the kitchen. Ick!!! August 26th can't get here soon enough.

How is your week going? Zimmy, have you started in your new spot?

[JustJo]

Good morning everyone....and super big hugs to you Andrea....what a nightmare!

I think we need these to put a little smile in our morning...

http://www.poshportage.com/home-espresso/wp-content/uploads/latte-art-4.jpg

I've done the "pool boy" thing, made coffee, and am now getting some work done before my first conference call.....I'm behind on paperwork....ugh!

Hugs to you all! :gimmehug:

[The_Lady_Snow]

((( Andrea ))) I'm sorry so much is going on, hope things get better!!

Good morning Jo & Scoote & Family!!

Yay yay Zimmy!!! You go girl!!

Back to work from camping for us after 11:00, big job!

Have a great day all!

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

Thank you for the coffee, Jo Jo! I hope you are feeling better!

Ms. Snow, Have a great day!!!

I am excited about my starting my new job sometime next week and it is coming with a raise, woohoo!!!! I cannot believe, that less than ninety days ago, I walked into that company not knowing much about what a PBX operator was or the job that we had to do, but now, I am enjoying working for duckland. I am still in awe over how, people that were on my original panel interview, stop me in the hallways and ask how am I doing...It just blows my mind.

How about some dippy eggs and toast for breakfast this morning?

Hugs to all of you!!

Zimmy

[lipstixgal]

Good Morning kitcheneers!! Coffee is on and I am on the second cup!! Today is doctor's appointments ugh!! But on the bright side the weather is great and the humidity is low and temps in the low 80's so all is good. My girl is going into the city today for a lunch to meet a friend and catch up with her!! She should be home by dinner time so we could enjoy the evening together...I hope everyone has a great day today whatever you do!!:hk30:

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Lipstix,

Have a great day! I have to work this morning at 10a until 6:30p tonight...

Have a great day,

Zimmy

[Andrea]

Zimmy, thanks for the coffee and the french toast. Hits the spot!

This morning we are transferring some plants to the community garden plot we rented. It is fun to walk around and see what everyone else is doing in their plots.

Have a great Sunday, everyone.

One of these days I will remember to set up the coffee
before I go to bed...I was hoping to sleep in this morning.
Evidently, it was not in the cards.....

i NEVER forget this! The only way i talk myself out of bed is by bribing myself with the hot coffee that is already made and waiting

[lipstixgal]

Good Morning everyone!! The coffee I.V. is great idea especially this morning with all this dreariness and damp weather!!

We went to the Village in New York City by bus and train ugh but had a good time at Tio Pepe's for Mexican food, then walked around the shops and bought some little rainbow bracelets and I bought some cool earrings that are rhinestones, what a shop there!!

We're headed to Queens today to see family with the dogs..have a great Sunday..

[Zimmeh]

Good Evening Everyone,

Dinner for tonight is; sweet and sour chicken with fried rice and spring rolls!!!

Good Morning Everyone,

Jo Jo, your breakfast sounded very yummy yesterday! We were busy at work, so I couldn't respond..

I had Black Cherry Greek Yogurt from Chobani with one cup of coffee for breakfast this morning. Today is my last day in the PBX department and I am excited!!!!!!:tea::chocolate::freetoaster:

Have a great day,

Zimmy

[Leigh]

Good morning everyone, how are all of you? I figured I'd come and visit, see how everyone has been. I'm having some oatmeal, trying out a new kind Apple Cranberry Almond and this stuff is delicious ~ I'm glad I bought it!!!! I'm trying to eat healthier, and I bought a case of bottled water on Friday, so its a work in progress but I'm feeling really good about it :-)

Hope everyone has a fantastic Monday!!!!

[Andrea]

Good morning! I have prepared a large pot of coffee for those of you that feel sluggish this morning, as I do.

I am going to fix myself some plain oatmeal with rasberries and sugar free vanilla syrup for breakfast, because I can do that in my stupor.

Took the day off work to attempt to finish up the insurance paperwork from the burglary, but every time I think I am done, I realize I forgot to get a quote on something. Ah well..... getting closer all the time.

Looking forward to when the burglary is not an every day focus thing.....

Wishing all a pleasant Monday.

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

Coffee and tea is on and the sodas are in the fridge! I am thinking of these yummy crepes for breakfast this morning!

Good Morning everyone!! I hope everyone is having a good Tuesday morning. Coffee and tea is on!! Its a dreary kind of day here in NJ but the weather should be improving soon. Tomorrow suppose to be sunny and about 83 degrees. Yay no more rain I hope!!

We're trying to go to Providence town in Ma for a little vacation before the weather gets cooler. I have to see about lodging and prices.

Have a great day all.:hk26:

[Zimmeh]

Have fun and if you get a chance, you should try and catch the Franklin line train out of Franklin, MA and go shopping in Harvard Square! Send us pictures..It has been 12 years since I have lived in Boston and I miss it dearly.

:bringcoffee: Yesterday was one of those days I could live without...so here's hoping that today is better.

This evening I get to go to the high school's open house to pick up Rooster's class schedule and meet his teachers. It's a bummer that he won't be here for it himself, but flights were booked before we knew this shindig happened.

The best, best, best part of this entire week.....going to pick up Rooster at the airport Friday evening. :cheer: He's been gone way too long.

Hope you all have a great day! :gimmehug:

http://www.weirdomatic.com/wp-content/pictures/coffeeart/coffee_art_06.jpg

Haven't decided what to have for breakfast yet, but plain ol' eggs over easy and toast is sounding pretty darn good.

I've been productive already....cleaned the pool, potted some lavendar I got on the weekend and had forgotten about (oops!), fed and watered critters....now I just need to go be productive for work!

Hope you all have a great day! :gimmehug:

:lips: to my sweetie...sorry you couldn't sleep!

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

I have today off from work, so I may play the Sims3 after I clean the apartment. I was very lazy yesterday and did nothing, but watch episodes of, "The First 48" on NetFlix until I had to go pick Matt up from the train station.

I am adding some Greek Yogurt to Jo Jo's breakfast..Thank you Jo Jo for breakfast! I had eggs over medium with whole wheat toast the other morning and it was delicious!

Hugs,

Zimmy

[JustJo]

Good morning everyone :)

I've been up and made coffee, done "pool duty" and a little bit (not enough) of work for work...more of that to come for sure.

We had a minor ant invasion last night (freaky)....so Scoote and I were doing late night clean up of the kitchen floor and putting down ant bait. So far, so good this morning....none to be seen.

How about something a little different for breakfast?

http://www.austinpost.org/files/articles/healthy-breakfast.jpg

When I was traveling in Germany, many years ago, we stayed in people's homes and were usually served the breakfast they ate....usually bread, meat, cheese, maybe a hard-boiled egg....lots of protein. Since I'm trying to eat differently, that was on my mind this morning. It was always good, and left us fueled up and ready for a busy day with no hunger until lunchtime...

Hope you all have a great day! :gimmehug:

[The_Lady_Snow]

Have a great Thursday Jo and Scoote!!

[Zimmeh]

i confess that i have gone in twice and extended mine, although we still will not be arriving until Friday afternoon due to Mr. Jenny's company being lame. I keep adding time to the journey home so we can stop for a hot bath and then some gambling

[dark_crystal]

ok i know Jo, Scoote, & co. have it all the time but i am tolly craving....

http://www.fashionminutes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Pizza-pic.jpg

however i real life i will be having turkey sausage with a side of steamed cauliflower

[JustJo]

Unfortunately pizza is not so much on my new eating plan :)

We had baked chicken, fried potatoes (with the skins on, cooked in olive oil with a little diced onion) and steamed broccoli. It was delicious!! :eating:

Yeah i dunno whats gonna happen to friday night pizza night( i dont eat pizza i have wings--that will not change) if it doesnt bother Jo and the boys want it,it will remain same...if she prefers we not then we wont.


Dinner tonight was AWESOME!!! its always good when she cooks,but tonight was over the top. i am a lucky one for sure! :)

[Dominique]

[QUOTE=JustJo;401009]Unfortunately pizza is not so much on my new eating plan :)

I eat pizza, but I make a whole wheat crust....did I read someplace you want to cut down on wheats? then I brush it with EVOO sprinkle my fresh herbs, fresh tomatoe slices, spinach mushrooms what ever in the veggies
I crush fresh garlic and sprinkle that over then use mozzarella (fresh, has less sodium) and slice it, so each slice of the pizza gets one slice of the cheese......it's good. Then you are not eating that bleached out white dough and not alot of cheese.

No sauce to make an acid belly either. And the crusts are easy to make...especially if you have a bread machine.....(i don't) I go to a bread store and buy the dough! .....sprinkle benefiber over the top!

[JustJo]

Good morning everyone :)

I think the boys can still have their pizza night if they want it, but I'll make something else for myself. I'm having really good results with this new eating plan...the scale is dropping, my blood sugars are good and I'm just starting to feel better even though it's only been (barely) a week.

I'm cutting way down on grain-based carbs...so only the equivalent of 2 slices of bread and a single normal sized potato a day....but ironically I'm eating more fresh fruit and legumes (which are also a bunch of carbs of a different sort.)

I think Kelt is right, and this way of eating is higher in the low glycemic carbs....slower to digest, easier on my system, and keep my metabolism higher. For whatever reason...it seems to be the right thing for me.

And Scoote's right...dinner last night was awesome if i do say so myself...just one of those meals when it all turned out perfectly. Love that!

Best news of the day, week and month......I get to go pick up Rooster at the airport today! :cheer:

Hope you all have a great day, and Happy Friday!

Yikes....I almost forgot....coffee's on! :cheesy:

Thanks for the coffee.......I'm waiting on the rain, we need it, and I have things to do inside, but would rather go kayaking. ZENNNNN!

You are correct Jo, different things work for different people. Other than oatmeal, I also avoid the grains. I had brown rice once this week and I'll have something else in the bread family this week end. I avoid BLONDES at all costs. I pretty much eat all fruits and vegtables and almost everything is uncooked. But sometimes I do cook, as I like to cook. But, back to ...different things work for different people.

Your link to the sleep/eating/over eating hit home for me. I know when I am tired, I don't always recognize that I am tired, and i'll be in the kitchen looking for food. Thats really a test of my will power, to get out of the kitchen, empty handed, and to go to bed.

Glad to read your son his returning home. He will have grown two inches.

I keep meaning to say congrats to Zimmy, having secured another position at her fairly new job!

Hope everyone has a great Friday!

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Ms. Snow,

The states that we have to travel through, won't know what in the world hit them!!! I am super excited!!


How are you doing today?

Zimmy

Road Trip!!!!!!!

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Yellow,

I am truly enjoying my new position and I have already received a compliment from my mentor on Thursday! She sent me home with *homework* this weekend and I have some other things to do for the Alumni Association, so I will be a busy femme this weekend. I have to go grocery shopping in a bit and I am looking forward to it! I have watching how many carbs I eat and I like flour tortillas instead of bread.

Thank you again and have a great day!

Zimmy

Rooster is a mini gaming mogul. He has corraled several friends and they are creating an online game.

He told me he would be busy from noon to about 2 on a conference call via Skype with his co-designers. The college student in England that is composing the original music has to miss the meeting, because he's in a class. :blink:

and plenty of coffee, tea, milk and juice to go along with it.

Good Morning good kitchen people!! I hope everyone is having a good Sunday morning so far..We're getting ready for breakfast and probably go to a street fair today in Maywood, NJ of it doesn't rain :(

[JustJo]

Happy Sunday everyone :)

Having kind of a busy morning and still some errands to run to make sure the boys have what they need for the first day of school tomorrow....school supplies are done, lunch stuff still to go...

Hope you all have a great day!

[Zimmeh]

Good Evening Everyone,

Dinner is served! We are having fresh chicken tenders sauteed in EVOO, garlic salt, crushed red pepper and Italian seasonings with linguine and homemade garlic toast.

Dessert is homemade carrot cake in a bundt pan with a little bit of vanilla frosting and a sprinkle of nutmeg on top.

Enjoy!

i am off today through Wednesday - back to work on Thursday..Normally i dont get that much time off, but just happened i work enough long days to accumulate my hours on the rest of the days which gave me 3 days off this week, woooo! i'm certainly not complaining lol.. Mini vacation!

School doesn't start here til the week after Labour Day weekend..
Hope you all have a wonderful kinda Monday, (((huggggggz)))

[Leigh]

Goooooooooood morning Kitchen friends, even though no one likes that its Monday I hope that this week is a fantastic one for all of us :-)

So far errands errands errands!!! Happy Monday!

[scootebaby]

Hurricane a coming! by end of the week we look to be at the very least soaked with tons of rain...keep fingers crossed thats all we get! not in the mood for a hurricane on top of everything else right now!

first day of school entire house was up by 6...Rooster had a slow start getting up that early bless his heart! and surprisingly he wet his rooster tail(well his whole head was a rooster tail this morning) all on his own! Im so proud! :lol2:

heading out soon to pick them up!


hope everyones Monday has not been too bad!---glad Slyvies is good for what ever reason! ;)

[The_Lady_Snow]

We'll be picking Worm up soon as well!!! I'm excited to hear about his first day, then off to boxing!!! Oprah is reshowing the Chaz Bono interview tonight we missed it the first round catching it tonight. I don't even know what to say about all this Irene stuff...

:overreaction:

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

Have a wonderful day!

[JustJo]

Good morning everyone :)

Boys are off to school...the earlier morning is tough, but I'm sure I'll get in the swing of it shortly...just need to go to bed by 10, which is a little weird, but necessary.

We're watching Hurricane Irene too....need to pick up bottled water and maybe another flashlight just in case. So far, she's got 100 mph winds and is still a category 1 according to NPR, so I'm not panicking. I am, however, making a list of items we need to be ready to do, including put up the shutters. I need to look at them later today and make sure I know how, plus have all the screws, wing nuts, etc.

My theory is...if it's a 1 or a 2 I'm willing to batten down the hatches, bring in the patio furniture, put up the shutters and ride it out. If it turns into a 3, shutters are up, everything is inside and we're out of here.

I'm up doing statistics already this morning....:|

I think I need this...

ever since Ike i make sure to keep a case of bottled water in the house at all times. it's amazing how quickly you get perspective on what you really need. 2 weeks with no power? FINE. 1 day with no water? FML!

i am praying for everyone in each potential path!

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

Breakfast is ala carte this morning! I am working until 5p tonight so I will be back after then!

Have a great day!

Zimmy

[JustJo]

Good morning all :)

Got the boys off to school, although Rooster was extra sleepy....he's not used to this waking up at 6 a.m. and being out the door by 7 routine yet.

Glad that Irene seems to be passing us by, although I'll be keeping an eye on reports just in case she decides to hang a left. I'd really rather not scurry around and try to get the hurricane shutters up this week, although the beach will be calling for shell and treasure hunting on Friday and Saturday. It's always interesting to see what any storm churns up, and this should be a big one.

:bringcoffee: Coffee's ready...and so is breakfast...

http://www.malibupres.org/news/breakfast-graphic.jpg

Hope you all have a great day! I'm off to (try to) be productive! :)

[The_Lady_Snow]

We're at the pediatricians office someone needs shots. Still keeping an eye on Irene cause ya never know! Hope everyone has a great hump day!

[Leigh]

Good morning Kitchen friends, I hope that you all have an amazing Wednesday and an even better Hump Day :D

have a good day everybody

carry an umbrella and whatever you do, don't wash your car (both good ways to discourage rain)

Good afternoon My kitchen friends, I'm glad to see alot of people stopping by ~ I hope you've all had a wonderful Wednesday afternoon so far :D

[JustJo]

Good morning kitcheneers :)

It's only Thursday but it's also my Friday....I'm taking a day off tomorrow to go to the beach, relax....and hopefully do nothing productive.

Today, however, I have a pile of stuff to get done for work because I'm trying desperately to get caught up.

Hope you all have a great day and, as Rooster would say, may the force be with you!

Good morning Jo & Family!!! Hope you have a relaxing day at the beach!! Keeping you in our thoughts during this stressful time (((hugs))) give Scoote a shout out she's missed!

[Andrea]

Good morning all! Stopping by to grab a cup of coffee filled with force this morning.

Been so busy, I expect to see myself coming around the next corner. LOL

Yesterday was the fourth anniversary of our wedding. Rene surprised me with flowers he delivered to work, I took off early, we went to our favorite restaurant for dinner, and then shared a bottle of wine at home. It was lovely.

I think he deserves to be taken away to relax for a few days. Maybe I will go too. LOL

Enjoy the end of the week everyone.

[chrisbutch]

any chance of a coffee for an old friend??

[Zimmeh]

Would you like your usual?? Welcome back and you are surely missed!

any chance of a coffee for an old friend??

[Zimmeh]

Tonight, we are having the following: chicken tenderloins with sweet peppers diced up, mushrooms diced up, frozen sliced carrots and brown rice with a glass of chocolate soymilk. The chicken, peppers and mushrooms and carrots were cooked in EVOO with a dash of garlic salt, basil and fresh ground black pepper. After the rice cooked, I mixed it in and hot damn, is this delicious! I put some aside for lunch tomorrow...


Enjoy and I am really having fun cooking different dishes!

Zimmy
<For some unknown reason, I am really having a blast baking and creating new recipes>

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

Hope you all are safe from Hurricane Irene! We didn't get much here in Orlando, and I was disappointed. I was really hoping she would clear the humidity out of the air, and cool the temps off. No such luck!

I am thinking of homemade pancakes with pumpkin pie spice to give them some flavor and eggs for breakfast...

Have a great day, I am off to run errands..

Zimmy

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Chris,

You are welcome! I even made a full Irish Breakfast for you this morning! You have been busy with your house, college and your job. You should try and come to the reunion next year! Thank you for the pictures of the new house and it came out gorgeous!

Good morning everyone :)

Up too early again for a Saturday....my eyes popped open at 6:30 a.m. and that was that! At least the pool is done, the potted plants put back onto their places on the patio and the laundry is started!

Coffee's on....

http://www.yowazzup.com/coffee/images/coffee-art-01_20070509.jpg

[JazzGirl]

Good Morning! Just point me toward the coffee I.V.

:moonstars:

[Zimmeh]

I made round eye steaks with baked mac & cheese<lowfat shredded mozzerella cheese> and great northern beans. I put the steaks in a pan, sprinkled it with garlic salt, crushed red pepper and basil and then added water to it and then I covered it and let it steam for about five minutes. Afterwards, I took the meat and flipped it over and kept scraping the bottom of the pan with the meat to evenly coat it. After I let it brown on each side, I added more water and put the lid back on. I let it cook for almost twenty minutes and used the au jus as the gravy! It gave the mac & cheese and great northern beans a delicious flavor...

Have a great night,

Zimmy

[JustJo]

Good morning everyone :) ....and where are my manners? Welcome Jazz! :rrose:

How about a little coffee and fruit to start the day?

Looks like a beautiful day here....not sure if we'll head to the beach again today or not. It's been amazing shelling because of Irene...but Scoote is still asleep, so not sure if I'll go wake her up or not. Hmmmm....

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Jo Jo,

Thank you for the coffee and fresh fruit! I say, go wake her up if she didn't have to work lastnight..

I to forgot to welcome Jazzie to the thread and I apologize. My brain is fried from the training I am going through at my job.

Have fun today!

I'm yawning my head off this morning from lack of sleep...if I wasn't so afraid of needles I'd volunteer for that coffee IV today. Actually went to bed early and was sound asleep when the phone rang at 10 p.m. :blink: Then I was awake, and couldn't get back to sleep until after midnight...tossed and turned, dozed on and off until 5:30....then up for the day. Ugh.

Thank goodness it's Friday. :rrose:

Good morning y'all. I am up waaay too early, California time, for no good reason. :blink:

Wishing you all a great start off to a holiday weekend here in "the states." Enjoy!!

[Andrea]

So glad it is Friday and a long weekend. Rene is finally hoping to finish replacing the fence job he started months ago, assuming he isn't sitting on ice again for his back. In addition, we have a full list of things that there just hasn't been time to do, so the extra day will be great for that.

We are also going to replace the television this weekend so I would love to watch a movie or two. Although I suppose my desire for it is mostly because we can't watch one right now. I always want what I can't have. :|

Thank you for the coffee and breakfast. Happy weekend to all!

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

I am leaving a full Irish Breakfast for our friends in Ireland. I am thinking of this for breakfast:

I am staying home and enjoying the quiet. I need to call my mom and see what she is doing today.

I am having a cup of strawberry and banana Greek Yogurt with my usual one cup of coffee. I am thinking :eatinghersheybar: might be in order later..Have any of you all watched the movie, "Winter's Bone"? I watched it yesterday on NetFlix and I have to say I loved it! I then watched, "Like Water For Chocolate" and laughed. I am so looking forward to Little Rock and I am excited to be going...I am going to need an ice pack afterwards!

Have fun and be safe,

Good Morning Everyone,

I am enjoying the new shift at work! I just wish they would assign me a desk and not have me move about. I hate leaving my purse above someone elses desk and since I went through all of that shit with my previous department, I don't trust anyone.

I am leaving some yummy Greek Yogurt to go with Jo Jo's breakfast this morning!

I have a 401K meeting today at 1p and then I will be working from 3p to 11:30p tonight.

Good morning everyone!

Amen, Jo, on the stressful week. I received an email last Thursday that my mother was going down hill and wanted to see me. I had not seen my family for 16 years.

Things actually went well, I experienced some emotional healing and my mother appears to have made it through a very bad spell and may be around another few years.

Exhausted as I am, I am grateful I went.

Pass the extra leaded coffee please......

Good Morning Everyone!

http://bedandbreakfastantwerp.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/breakfast-in-bed-1.jpg

We're having a lazy day around here today.

Yesterday we went to an estate sale and found a few neat finds...Rooster did especially well with his love of Asian antiques and found a Takito lustreware tea service from the 1920s and an antique bronzeware cup, both with a dragon design.

I got a few original Newsweek articles and magazine covers from the Apollo 11 flight....did I mention I'm a space geek?

Hope you all have a relaxing and wonderful Sunday! :gimmehug:

[The_Lady_Snow]

Good Morning Jo!!!


Good Sunday Morning Everyone!!!

Have a great one everybody!

Good morning!

Today we will be packing toothbrushes and old people meds, and driving a couple of hours to a place by a stream surrounded by trees and nature. Woo Hoo!!! Two whole days in quiet, without the stresses of everyday life.

I don't remember if I mentioned our wonderful cat/house sitter but she will be here to take care of things, just like she was a few weeks ago when we jumped up and scurried to my mother's bedside. We are blessed to have her as a friend.

Speaking of mother: she is making an amazing recovery. From hospice visits to watching Lawrence Welk with friends in less than two weeks time.

Thank you, Jo, for the breakfast in bed. I haven't had breakfast in bed in years. Think I will suggest it to my honey. LOL

Enjoy your Sunday, everyone.

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

Thank you Jo Jo for breakfast! I have a gorgeous Boston Butt roast in the slow cooker marinating with fresh chopped onion, garlic and potatoes in a Swanson chicken broth. We will have dinner later tonight!

The muffins are delicious and I will be making a batch for our trip to Little Rock...Or maybe make a loaf of Apple Cinnamon bread instead of the muffins...

Have fun today!

My fingers are crossed that today will be a better day...calm, productive, and all of that good stuff.

Hope you all have one too! :gimmehug:

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

Jo Jo, hope you have a wonderful and sunny day! How is your mom doing?

I am looking forward to my niece's birthday party on Saturday. Her parents are having it at a bowling alley and get ready to giggle...Because I haven't gone bowling in over ten years. I still cannot believe she will be five years old tomorrow. I will be picking her up some more Hello Kitty stuff on Friday and grab a gift bag and put everything in there.

How about some eggs, toast, juice, and milk this morning to go with Jo Jo's delicious coffee?

Have fun today!

Zimmy

[JustJo]

Good morning everyone :)

Coffee?

http://www.photographyblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/coffee-cup4.jpg

Yesterday was pretty uneventful...I actually went to bed at 7:30 since I've been so exhausted. It helped a little, but somehow I'm still tired.

Mom is hanging in there. I'll be up there next week to see her, so I'll have a better idea of what's real then. I'm getting too much conflicting information to be sure of anything just now.

Have fun bowling on Saturday Zimmy! :) I actually love bowling, although I stink at it. :cheesy:

Have a great day everyone! :gimmehug:

[The_Lady_Snow]

Good morning Jo & Zimmy!!! Hope you have a good Wednesday!!!

Have a blessed International Day Of Peace!

[JazzGirl]

Good Morning!

I hope you are all well. Jo, I pray for you, your mother and your family. I hope you all get some rest.

Zimmy, have a great weekend!

Lady Snow, Thank you for the peace you share and spread to all. I hope your day goes brilliantly.

I am heading back into the studio in a short while to work.

Leaving english muffins, tea and jams.

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Jo Jo,

I am sending you my thoughts, prayers and plenty of hugs for your trip next week. I remember watching my dad going through all of his medical issues and how hard it was emotionally and physically hard on him and my family. The day I walked into his hospital room after his double bypass surgery, just seeing him was the hardest on me. I remember him as being this man who would play softball tournaments at Christmas time to make sure under privileged kids had presents. He also had his bad side and I have more of those memories than anything else. When he passed away, it f**king hurt more than anything else. To this day, I am still trying to sort out those emotions.

Hugs my friend,

Zimmy

Jo, my prayers are with you. Hope all goes well..
Last day of the week for me.. Can't seem to find my motivation though.
Thanks for the coffee

[Tommi]

As The Planet Turns, let's do the Continental..breakfast.
Jo , I am so glad you are going to see what's going on, and how your Mom is doing. Yeah

From a voice of experience, start writing your questions down. Go online for information before you go. May clinic site has some good information.

I got back a while ago from the car dealership, where my car is awaiting (too expensive) service. Ah well...it all needs to be done and with about 93,000 miles on it I can't complain. So, by the end of today, I'll have a new battery, a new thermostat, new rear brakes and freshly flushed radiator.

I hope the car appreciates it!

Hope you all have a great day. :gimmehug:

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

How about some fried eggs cooked in Pam, bagel thins and coffee this morning for breakfast?

Tomorrow is my niece's birthday party at the bowling alley and I still have to pick her up a few more things today, so I will be hitting up the Hello Kitty store...I just hope I can contain myself, hehe..

Have a great end to your work week and TGIF!!!!

Dropping off scones and jam.
:tea:, too!

Have a fabulous weekend!

[Zimmeh]

Good Evening Everyone,

Dinner is leftovers and fresh cantaloupe for dessert!

Hope you all had a great start to your weekend and have a great night! Chasing after a bunch of kids and laughing so hard at my 13 year old second cousin has wore me out. I am thinking it might be an early night for me!

Have fun tonight,

Good Morning Everyone,

How about some French Toast this morning with fresh fruit and juice for breakfast?

Jo Jo, Have a safe trip to New York and I am sending you and your family hugs!

Zimmy

[Andrea]

Zimmy: Thanks. I have been craving french toast. Or maybe it is the syrup I have been craving. :drool:

Jo: I am praying you will find the same things I did when my mother was in such bad shape. She is doing so much better. I hope for the same for your mom. :vigil:

I had a nightmare about cleaning and cleaning and cleaning the house and nothing ever being done. I would gather the dirty dishes from around the house (dirty dishes do not sit around the house in real life) to wash, only to find the sink had been moved and I had to move all those dishes again. Yikes!!!

Anticipating a much needed relaxing day in our household. Hope everyone has the opportunity to do what you want with your Sunday.

[JustJo]

Good morning everyone :)

It feels odd to not be getting on the work computer on a Monday morning, but this is the start of 6 days off...and I won't be back at work until a week from tomorrow. Our flight leaves Wednesday afternoon, and I'm both dreading it and anxious for it to hurry up so that I can get a handle on what's going on with my mom.

Thank you so much to all of you who have been so supportive. It really does help! :gimmehug:

Hope you all have a great day, and a wonderful week. :rrose:

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

You are welcome and having friends support you is the best way to overcome this. :bunchflowers:

Thanks for the drinks and wonderful breakfasts, and always being there. Don't forget to write if you can, and PM or email for help or you need someone to toss you a reality life-ring.

Wish you safe travel, and strenght for the bumpy ride ahead Jo:tea::hangloose:

Good morning everyone :)

I think Jeep's motivation must be hanging out with my mind...and they're both lost. :blink:

Getting ready to head to NY tomorrow, so I may be offline for awhile, depending on how things go. I'm sure ya'll can keep the coffee pot on and keep each other company.

:gimmehug:

Good Morning Everyone,


Have a wonderful day! I am watching a documentary on wolves from Yellowstone National Park before I go to work.

Have a great day!

Good Morning Everyone,

Jo Jo and family, have a safe trip to New York!

How about a International breakfast this morning? I am leaving some homemade biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs and coffee...It is a true classic Southern Sunday breakfast that I would have every Sunday with my family at my grandma's house...I miss doing this with my family..

Have fun today!

I love this kinda breakfast....MMM Mmmm
Jo, keep us posted, sending you winged angles to fly along. ~!~ ~!~
:moonstars:
Zimmy, I miss the way my Gramma's cooked. Czech and Scottish, great meals, always fresh and lots of whatever it was. They didn't cook from boxes, or the freezer.

[Zimmeh]

My grandma used to make homemade fudge...No wonder I was a chubby kid..hehe..

I cannot believe the reunion is two weeks away..Woohoo!

there is nothing in the world quite so decadent as a Wednesday morning hangover. It should therefore be enjoyed to the fullest.

Wow I haven't been here in awhile, amazingly enough I still remember where the Kitchen is *laughs*

Glad to see everyone is doing well, miss all of you :-)

[JustJo]

Good morning everyone :)

:bringcoffee: I'm the only one awake here...waiting for everyone else to get up and get moving. We're going to go out to breakfast, then up to my mom's farm to take care of a bunch of stuff for her, then back to the hospital to visit....busy day.

Mom is extremely thin...they have to take her blood pressure on her leg because her arm is too thin for the BP cuff...but she is still her old self. Conversation with the doctor will be later today, so we'll see how that goes.

Take care everyone, and have a good day. :gimmehug:

[The_Lady_Snow]

Happy Friday Everyone!!!

[JazzGirl]

Happy Friday!

Leaving Eggs Benedict, Canadian bacon, fresh strawberry, watermelon and kiwi salad with honey dressing on the side. :tea: and coffee, Caribou Obsidian, with cream, sugar, honey or stevia.

:hk2: you all!

[Zimmeh]

Good Afternoon Everyone,

How about some nice grilled cheddar cheese sandwiches and baked pita chips for lunch today?

Jo Jo, Hope you are getting the answers on your mother's condition!

This is my last weekend off before the Reunion and I am looking forward to it!!!!!!!! I cannot believe that in 11 days, I will be driving up to Little Rock with Ms. Snow and Weatherboi to have the time of our lives...

http://youtu.be/VBmMU_iwe6U

Woohoo!!!

Zimmy

[JustJo]

Good morning everyone :)

Glad to see everyone is doing well. It's early, and I'm awake...rest of the house is sleeping, including the dog. It's our last day to visit Mom at the hospital, then on an early plane home tomorrow morning. Still lots of unanswered questions, simply because no one knows the answers...and an awful lot of this remains "wait and see."

For purely selfish reasons, I'm glad that my friend's camping trip was cancelled (their work commitments, bad weather, etc.)....because it's been truly wonderful to have them here. Night before last we ended up playing board games...Clue and then Aggravation...for a couple of hours and were laughing and being silly in a way that I haven't been able to in ages. Sometimes it's the goofy stuff that helps....not to mention knowing that they totally support us and care about us, period.

Hugs to you all, and I'll be back tomorrow. :gimmehug:

[Okiebug61]

Good Morning! After over 60 plus days of 100 degree weather, the fall weather feels wonderful. Red and I are waiting for my friends food truck to open for brunch. Chef Fermo recently moved back from Tulsa and I can't wait to have brunch. Today I am having her famous Filipino breakfast, fried eggs are garlic fried rice, yummmmyyyyy.

[Andrea]

Good morning all!

Jo: The hardest part is the not knowing.

Yippee!!! We have absolutely no plans that require leaving the house today so we are going to get the pears and raspberries processed and frozen, along with other neglected things that need to get done.

The weather is great here this weekend, Zimmy is making me sad we are missing the Reunion, and it is time to get started using the day at home with the first load of laundry. Coffee is made and I am on my third cup.

Have a wonderful day!!!

[Zimmeh]

Dinner is served!

Have a safe trip home Jo Jo and Scoot!

I am truly enjoying this gorgeous weather here in Florida and it will be like this until I leave next Monday for Little Rock...

Happy, happy Monday everyone!

Not only did the mattress get turned, the curtains washed, the windows washed, and some sewing repairs made, but my honey found a 1oz 14k necklace worth at least $500 on the side of our house. No one lives in the house next door so we have no idea where it came from.

It is so nice to have a job I don't dread going to. In fact, I enjoy it quite a lot.

Wishing each and every one of you the blessings I have in my life.

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

Andrea, I totally agree about having a job that you love. I am thankful for the company I work for, they are a wonderful company and I am not leaving anytime soon...I work with three gay guys in my department and it is cool to crack jokes with them...

Have a great day!

Good Afternoon lovely kitchen people!! Its a brisk and cool day today here in northern NJ!! Nothing much doing except maybe going to Walmart for a few things. I hope everyone has a great day!!

Ha ha on us! The chain turned out to be what the jeweler called a quick, hurry chain. Someone walks up to you and tells you about an emergency he/she has and quick, hurry how much can you give me for my chain.

It isn't gold at all. So glad we didn't spend the $$ we thought we had been blessed with and we had a good laugh learning about a quick, hurry chain.

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

It is a gorgeous day here in Orlando! It is 74 degrees outside and I am loving it!!!

How about a nice ham steak, eggs, grits and toast for breakfast this morning?

Hope you all are having a great week!

Zimmy

[Andrea]

Coffee is made!! Wish I had time to stick around for Zimmy's delicious breakfast but must be on my way to work.

Rainy and chilly here today. Think I will wear my coat for the first time this season.

Wishing everyone a great Wednesday.

We'll be getting Scoote and the Prince moved into their new house (very cute, all freshly redone with a new kitchen and everything....maybe half a mile down the road), and I'll be trying to sort out my mother's business affairs and getting her bills caught up. Not nearly as much fun!

Have a great day everyone!

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Jo Jo,

Waffles sound yummy!!! I am looking forward to hanging out with people I have met on here. Maybe next year, you could go and join us...How is your mom doing? I made a fresh pot of Starbucks French Roast coffee this morning to help wake us up! hehe..If you see this smiley show up, that means that I have decided not to come back from Little Rock..:missing:

I am leaving a huge :gimmehug: for you and your family!

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.

It's Monday morning *sigh*, so I'm back to work.

Good Morning Jo Jo,


I had a great time and if you can come next year, you should! I met some wonderful people, including PinkeeLee and Ms. Sunshine, T-Country, Ms. Snow and WeatherBoi, Medusa, Arwen and some funny ass butches! Three of whom had me laughing so hard that I almost passed out...i picked up some very cute postcards to send out and we took over the restaurant where we had our singles lunch!

Have a great day and hugs,
