FNW, Cheese makes all the difference in the world for almost everything in my world

 It can be hard to eat what he cooks. Especially if he cooks chicken or steak. The Sahara has more moisture than his chicken and that's not an exaggeration. His steak is so far past well done that I could shoe a horse with it.

DH wasn't aware that chicken or steak could be moist until he met me. He also wasn't aware that veggies could taste good.

Cheese is my favorite food group

 I am guilty of over grilling chicken.  I'm fine with the oven just not the grill. 

It should be a crime to ruin good steak like that!

---

 Thing is, if you season or sauce the chicken, some overcooking can go unnoticed. He doesn't. I've watched him. He puts olive oil on the baking sheet and that's it. He tends to serve mashed potatoes with chicken so I cut the chicken up and hide it in the mash. Otherwise, it's too dry to eat.

Husker would slap him up one side and down the other for what he calls steak!

But, have his tacos and you'll be heaven. Not kidding.

You ever just not like someone?

No real reason.

Not that I can think of, Lily.

I've always had a reason.

 I don't know why I don't like this person.

She is nice. Never done anything to make me not like her.

I can't put my finger on it.

I feel bad about this.

Steak should only be cooked to the point of a good veterinarian being able to bring it back to life. Or raw, like Steak Tartare.

 Trust your instincts, and don't fee bad.

 

I have a neighbor...don't like her but never knew why.  Until...after her second baby she asked for help from the neighbors.  She said it was hard for her to get dinner on the table.  So we all signed up and took turns bringing her dinner.  I cooked spaghetti (sauce from scratch), made enough for leftovers, garlic bread, salad, bottle of wine.  Asked her what time they ate and I'll bring it over then.  Expecting to see a disheveled new mother with a newborn in her arms (or close by) and another at her hip answering the door, instead I got her husband.  HER HUSBAND!  He was home watching the older little girl while new mom napped.  House was neat as a pin, not a toy or diaper in sight.   No plates out, no table set, nothing.  He didn't even have the manners to help take the food for me, instead he invited me in and said I could put it on the island.  I almost asked if I was expected to serve it, too, but remembered he works with my husband so I just smiled and said enjoy.  He thanked me and I left, feeling used.  She never even bothered to call/email or text me a thank you.

So when I got an email from the neighbors asking everyone to chip in $20 so they could get her a spa certificate for the Red Door after she delivers her third baby (any time), I deleted it.

 That's crazy. I'd delete that too.

I hope everyone is having a good Friday. I lost a real nice ring a while back. I thought it was gone forever and given up ever finding. I come home tonight and found it on my kitchen counter with a note from my cleaning lady that said "found on floor in the pantry. I think it may have been in one of the grocery bags that I save. So happy to have it back.

Yeehaw!

What a nice surprise!

I'm happy that you found it, Lindley.

 That is so great!  Like putting on your winter jacket for the first cold day of the year and finding money in the pocket!

Hi all. Looks like it's been a good day for all of you. Hope the weekend is great too.

The temp is in a downhill slide, it's suppose to be -12 by morning. Yesterdays warmth of 30's suddenly seems heavenly.

Started on the new quilt I cut out on Monday. Oh goody, I get to sew all weekend long! A great way to spend a frigid weekend. :)

IKWTDS, glad your new program is looking so good to you!

Lindley, glad you got your ring back! A wonderful feeling. :)

DH grills chicken and steak perfectly. I would ruin it..

 GOFUNDME is the new "I want everyone to pay for my spa day".  Not all GOFUNDME, mind you, but a lot of them.

Good gosh, the neighbor sure has a sense of entitlement. I would have deleted too!

 Wow! Talk about entitled. I can't believe  anyone else will fall  for the email a second time.
