You have no idea. I was going to stop for fast food, but then realized that I am actually a pretty good cook!

Isn't that a good feeling? I was surprised to find out that my church group waits to find out what dish I'm going to make and then centers the menu around it!

Morning! I'm not much of a baker, Betty Crocker and Mrs. Smith are the scope of my abilities. Still recovering from my three day weekend of call. It was rough!

What would you like for breakfast? Tig would be more than happy to cook for you!

As a single parent, my "meals" were pretty pathetic. I'll be the first to admit that.

I would often make Rice Krispie treats & once substituted granola for Rice Krispies. My kids loved it & wanted to know where I got the recipe, since obviously I could not have come up with that idea myself. hmm

I'm still tired.

But, I'm going to download the pictures from my camera, and start a thread in the Break Room, as promised.

P.S. Czech, we had a bit of rain early Saturday morning, but it cleared up by noon. It was a nice day! smile

High of 87 today, then I think it starts to "cool off."

Tonight will be cupcake baking night. I hope the bananas are ripe enough.k Now #1 says he would like blue frosting on the cupcakes, with the yellow. Something about the minion pants they wear. This is what I get for letting him watch Cake Wars.

FWM, glad the rain missed the wedding!

Baking, yum! Wish I had some time to bake today, but that's not going to happen. Good luck with all the baking Tig and FNW.

Who schedules softball practice at 10 in the morning anyway! evileye

Yup, another day of flash and dash..

Hope you all have reasonable schedules today. Mine stinks.

The weather held up, thank goodness.

I posted the link to the professional pictures in the break room.

I'll leave it up for a couple of days, if anyone wants to have a peak. wink

I have leftover pancakes in the fridge, and I "fry" eggs without butter or oil, so it's super wholesome!

Ugh - I had work-mares again last night. I need to get those people out of my head!!

They're not even co-workers any more! And if I dreamed about the friends that I had at last job, that might be okay. But I dream of the crazy manipulative people.

I'll pull the frozen berries out and make a compote.

I am having my version of Pargo's bubble bread for breakfast.

Tignanello · My dog name is, Sasha!

Did you know that avocado can be used as a substitute for butter/oil in baking? So excited to figure out how to use the one on my shelf before it's rotten. Avocado-banana bread, here I come!

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

I'll stick with butter thanks!

Two victims I heard.

It's Spock's 3rd birthday today.

LOL! wink

So what was Huey's diagnosis? I'm glad he seems to be on the mend.

Lexxy, Huey has a UTI, just as I suspected.

They gave him a shot of antibiotics.

And the liquid dose for us to give to him, once a day, for 20 days.

He's already feeling better, thank goodness. smile

That is good! I hate having to give my cats medicine. They are terrible patients & I don't have anyone to help.

I am a great cook but a terrible meal planner. I wish I could pay someone to write me out a months worth of meals.

I'll do it! My work in ED has made me a meal plan and grocery shopping expert!

(or you could just buy Rachel Ray's 30-minute meals. She does the whole thing for you; you just toss what she tells you to buy into a pot)

No fair muscling in on my gig!! I wasn't signing up for the grocery shopping portion so you can have that part.

I don't actually do the grocery shopping. I review the menu and make a list from that biggrin And then help build a pantry (by writing down what to buy).

My friend signed up for Blue Apron & said he really liked it. There is also another one I can't remember. They ship all the ingredients you need. I thought about trying it but their menu wasn't very appealing to me.

Yep. I get Hello Fresh. The box comes every week with (almost) everything you need. You need to have salt/pepper, oil, butter, stuff like that on hand. I've really liked it. I've tried some new things I didn't think I would like and ended up really liking.

anyone can PM me if you have questions.

I also saw a thing the other day that emails you recipes

Well, thanks to our NUMBER ONE movie, I was informed today that I will be getting a bonus! And so will G since he's still technically on the payroll (doesn't THAT suck). So I'm not so anxious about getting the kids a perfect swingset for their bdays....
