Good Morning Everyone,

Have a wonderful day!

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...

Hope you all have a great day!

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!

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 · 08-24-2011, 06:33 AM

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.

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

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

The_Lady_Snow · 08-24-2011, 06:55 AM

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 · 08-24-2011, 07:27 AM

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

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

Good Evening Everyone,

I am having about half a cup of brown rice with half a cup of seasoned black beans with chocolate Soymilk for dinner.

Hope you all have a great day!

Zimmy

Leigh · 08-24-2011, 04:36 PM

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

JustJo · 08-25-2011, 06:33 AM

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!

The_Lady_Snow · 08-25-2011, 07:07 AM

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 · 08-25-2011, 08:08 AM

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 · 08-25-2011, 04:26 PM

any chance of a coffee for an old friend??

Zimmeh · 08-25-2011, 04:56 PM

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

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!
