Lost another post, saying :

today i did some laundry, and cleaned my kitchen, and talked to hubby a bit, just a nice long chat, while sitting on porch and watching it rain and the grass grow! Weeded some flowers in containers.

nice day, not a lot going on.

We'll probably watch a movie tonight that the kids pick out, maybe one of the Harry Potter movies. They're still in the mood for it after seeing the new one.

ahh, yes, that would be fun! have they seen all of them?

Hope this clears up, we turned the page!

What's for dinner at your house tonight? i still need to make ours, but at least I decided what to make, that is the hard part. Espically when I forget to thaw something in the morning!!

I always wanted a porch! I would love to sit outside on a porch, in theory anyway. Mosquitos tend to love me.

Hubby is making scallops and rice. I don't know if the scallops will be in his sauce or on the grill. They just walked in the door.

Hubby is taking a snooze in his recliner, i think he is bored , or the rain is making him sleepy

Yes, we have mosquitoes, but i grow lemon balm all around the and under the orch. If i rake acros it, it emits a scent mossies do not like, almost like the mosquito plant, citronella. Helps some. AND I keep repellant if they get bad.

How nice to have a cooking hubby! Mine knows how, but has been a long time since he cooked for me. Lets see, 2 years when I had broken foot? And as soon as he found me a wheel chair, it was up to ME to cook, he would come and 'help'.

Now our porch is small, but room for 2 chairs, a small table and a bakers rack on the edge for some of my flowers.

The scallops will be on a skewer with pineapple and veggies on the grill.

Am I talking to myself? will I get a CP? Lets find out!!

OH sounds very good! I love scollops. I love seafood in general! I think scallops and shrimp and lobster is favorite, calamari close behind, Grooper, and Amber jack, heck, just FISH!

What is lemon balm?

tonight I am doing mac and cheese, low fat kind. Multi grain cornbread patties, done top of stove, do not like oven cooking when it is hot and do not have small pan for cornbread for 2. Green beans, field peas and those vine ripe little cherry tomatoes! Pretty good for someone who had nothing to cook, cause she forgot the thawing today hehe

Couple of oatmeal cookies, sugar free, no trans fat, for desert.

Lemon balm is a plant in the mint family, it's leaves when crushed have a distinct lemon flavor. gowrn for fragrance, it's flowers are insignificant. It self seeds and spreads by root runners both, can be a thug unless you put it where it does not matter if it spreads. Grows about 12 to 18 inches tall and lovely smell. It can be eaten, but does not keep it's flavor when dried. Can make a hot tea from it, or use it crushed in iced tea, I use it in a lettuce and mandrain orange salad, just another green in the salad :>)

Reason it is growing all around and under porch, i had one small container of it back when we moved here, and it naturalized itself.

Hi, Stella and MizTricia! I hope I haven't missed you. I'm thinking of your D#1 & praying for a safe trip, Stella.

HI JULIE!

Wow, MizTricia! That's an enthusiastic welcome! I've just been reading what's for dinner. I like yours better than mine.

On the other hand, Stella's dinner sounds mighty good - and cooked by her hubby.

Julie, we had a lot of problems with site at end of the last page. If you have problems, would you please say and use the little alien smilie?? I am trying to keep track this weekend and if it keeps on, let Gath know what and when again. the alien helps not to have to read all the messages again.

Hi Julie, thanks! merci beaucoup!

I think cooked by her hubby makes it the winner, Julie, don't you?

What are you making, or made for dinner today??

I'll try to remember the little alien/gremlins if things go awry. If I forget, I'll put it on my next comment and refer back.

Stella, I really like your avatar. It's very bright and cheerful.

Still slow to go through and I have cable so it shouldn't be slow. I'll have to get some lemon balm. Hope it grows in this climate.

Post 6666, ohhh!

Just look at it upside-down, Stella - 9999.

Hey, just lost a post!

I thhink it will, Stella, I traded mints by mail from some glas up your way. It dies out with frost and if the crown is under leaves or mulch, it will come up again in a little rosette, low to ground, in early spring.

Here, it will come back in containers, the rosette, and it will come up from seed in contaniers. Imight could send you some come spring, when it first comes up from seed. We had good luck mailing mints when small that way. Might could root you some from cuttings, cause when it sprouts from seed here , it will still be SNOW up there!

Oops, I didn't answer MizTricia's question about dinner. It's actually just left-overs, or as my MIL says, 'must-goes.' We have a couple of pieces of deep-dish pizza & some pasta in marinara sauce, and I think 1 bratwurst. Hubby, daughter, and I will draw straws, I guess.

MisT, are you still here or have you gone to get your dinner going?

STELLS, that is better than just three of them!! Sixes I mean!

Never mind! It's because it is so slow!!

Stella, your posts must be out of order too! I had a post just above the one you asked if i were gone! Posted one minute before!!

That or you missed it heheheh

but I am still here! I was typing about the lemon balm

JULIE, I have a friend that calls those 'tovers. i call them planned overs, cause I cook enough for 2 meals at a time.

I'm finding posts that appear after we have gone beyond them as well. Occasionally, it gets a little strange trying to figure out what's going on.

getting close to end of page, it gets slower and slower, lets get this page turned.

not long now
