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

JustJo · 07-11-2010, 04:46 PM

Good evening all

It's

for dinner tonight...london broil, chicken kabobs with onion, peppers and cherry tomato...corn on the cob...potato salad....mmmmmm

Okay kitchen friends...big request here...

I just got an email from the realtor saying the bank just did their appraisal, which means the paperwork is now finally on the correct desk and moving forward...so I could use all your good energy, prayers, white light...whatever ya got!

We're hoping to get approval of our offer and a successful closing, so I can get moved down to my sweetie.

Hope you've all had a wonderful Sunday. My mother called this morning and wanted to take me to lunch...so we hit the salad bar at Ruby Tuesday's, did some shopping, then finished hauling wood out of my basement and up to the curb (that's how I recycle

). Time to sit and relax a little now.

baby

Thanks Lips!

The wood was lumber and leftover molding from my office renovation. I had piled it all in the basement rather than hauling it out into the snow, and it had been sitting there ever since.

I live on a busy street, and I have found that I can put virtually anything out at the curb and someone will stop and pick it up. I think of it as the ultimate recycling....out of my way and into the hands of someone who can use it.

lipstixgal · 07-11-2010, 06:06 PM

OH so you can put anything on the street and someone will pick it up that's nice to know!! I'm going to watch some tv and then its bedtime for me..been very tired lately and don't know what it is attributed to? I guess being on 1200 calories a day for so long takes a toll on the body or its school for a year that has been intense but all I know is that its bedtime early for me.

Good Morning all kitchneers!! What's for breakfast, how about since its hot some warm oatmeal with fresh fruit, sliced berries and bananas. Muffins and croissants as ususal and strong coffee and tea. Have internship this morning UGH!! and school tomorrow so a busy week for me. It will be like this for the next 10 weeks!!

07-12-2010, 07:29 AM

What-o Kitcheneers.

*sets tea tray laden with large pot of tea and a plate of hobnobs down on the table* Help yourself to biccies. Dunking is compulsory!

I hope everyone had a fantastically frolicsome weekend.

JustJo · 07-12-2010, 07:32 AM

Good morning everyone

Coffee and tea are on....and thank you for the breakfast goodies Lips

I am trying to be productive today...going to get all caught up on work, and already have the garbage out to the curb (a bit early but if I wait until tonight I may forget), got laundry going and dug out some rubbermaid tubs so I can pack a few more kitchen things.

Getting the woodpile out of the basement (which probably upset various spiders and other creepy crawlies I'd rather not think about) has made it much more cleared out down there, and I bagged up another bagful of junk and dragged it out to the curb as well. Bit by bit, I'm getting there. It's amazing how much stuff accumulates in 9 years...

Hope you all have a great day

and

to you sweetie...I hope yours turns out better than the start has been

Wow Jo that's great that you have done all that in such a short time. Me I just got home from that stinky internship!! All paperwork. By the time 1PM comes I ready to leave!! Here's hoping that it gets better but I don't think so, a girl in the office said that the last ten days they will let me do patients so I emailed the school about that, that is just not sitting well with me at all. Anyway, going to feed dogs and try to relax have school tomorrow and internship on WEd, Friday is the phlebotomy certification exam, still have to study for that as well.

lipstixgal · 07-12-2010, 02:50 PM

Well Well I'm hungry and tired already..What's for dinner me feel like having some macaroni but that's all I ever have!! Maybe a shish kabob from Whole foods but don't really feel like going out!! WE shall see or maybe some popeye's chicken instead!!

Zimmeh · 07-12-2010, 04:53 PM

Jo Jo,

Congrats on getting everything put out to the curb so you don't have to bring it to Florida with you....

Hope you had a good day,

Zimmy

Good evening everyone

and thank you for a yummy dinner Zimmy.

I ended up making risotto and having a glass of wine...something I rarely do, but it just felt like the evening for it. I'm been pretty productive...more home stuff than work, but some of the work stuff too. Seems like there's always more to clear out...

Don't feel bad Darkcrystal...I've had a couple boxes of old paperwork that needs to be shredded riding around in my trunk for about 3 weeks now.

If I wasn't feeling pooped I'd go get it and shred while I relax and watch TV....maybe....we'll see

Hope that internship starts going better Lips. I know a lot of places use interns for all the mundane tasks that the staff wants to get out of doing...not the point of the internship since you don't learn much that way....but it's pretty common I'm afraid.

It occurred to me that I never posted the risotto recipe for you Lips...sorry about that! Do you still want it?

Hope you're all relaxing and have your feet up.

baby...

Thanks JO the internship really sucks and yeah I'm doing things that the regular staff doesn't want to do or can't do and yeah its mundane!!Risotto recipe would be great I'll make it tomorrow for dinner, well I'll make it in the morning and have it for dinner!! Like today all I did was look for pre-ops of patients that were having surgery or had surgery like in 09 for example. I really want to work on patients that's what I'm trained to do..not learning anything!!

Zimmeh · 07-12-2010, 05:19 PM

Jo Jo,

Can I have the Rosotto recipe to? I have a recipe for Chewy Cake, which my step dad's grandmother gave me....If you like cake, this is addicting...I made it for the kids, and they nearly ate me out of house and home, hehe...

Thank you!!!!!!

lipstixgal · 07-12-2010, 04:19 PM

Hey dark Crystal how ya doin?? Did you have a good day at work?? I didn't I hate the internship place at all!!

Zimmeh · 07-12-2010, 04:52 PM

Good Evening Everyone,

It was another scorcher here in Florida and I am not looking forward to August and September...I can probably cook an egg on the sidewalk during those months...

I am thinking, maybe a light dinner? How about some grilled chicken, broccoli and corn on the cob? All cooked on the grill....Maybe for dessert ice cream and pie?

Hope you all had a good day,

Zimmy

Zimmy that sounds good for dinner!! Is it really that hot in Florida this time of year. What's the temperature. It was 92 here today with humidity!! Tomorrow its going to storm probably but be around 85 or so!!

Zimmeh · 07-12-2010, 05:16 PM

Good Evening Lipstix,

At my mom's house it was around 92 before the humidity kicked in. It was hot enough to where, my mother and I were sitting on her screened in back porch sweating...I came home and put a tank top on.

I would definately say something to the college about this internship.

Hope you are having a good night,

Zimmy

so sorry your internship is lame! you should report the site to the school...when i have interns i am totally not allowed to give them grunt work- they are there to have the librarian's experience, not a clerk's!

and this librarian had a great day lol- my boss was on vacation all last week so it took her the whole day just to catch up on her e-mail...i left at 2 for a dr. appt so i never saw her!

(not that i don't love her and secretly crush on her a lil, but she does have a way of trailing extra work behind her whenever she visits my department!)
