not sure, we've eaten out or gotten take out from a restaurant 10 of the last 12 days, so i'm pretty sick of eating out. i know that doesn't sound right, but try it, you'll see what i mean. you need good home cooking.
that said, we'll probably have sashimi since it's friday, lol. i'll be sick of eating out tomorrow i guess.

Apparently I'm BBQ'ing tonight. At least when I light myself on fire I've got lots of snow to 'stop, drop and roll ' in.

Just make sure you stay away from Abby's deposits...

Bucky, I hear you on the eating out deal. My first husband was in the hotel industry and we would live in the hotel for months every time we moved. The food was fabulous - but after a while, I really missed home cooking!

Tonight - its Friday - spaghetti probably. How many more weeks til Easter?

 

[VickiQ]

I think only 2 more Fridays Michelemarie.
We're going out to dinner with friends to night to a restaurant named Scoozis.We're celebrating their baby daughter's 6 week birthday- well actually the Mom wanted to leave the baby with Grandma and GO OUT to celebrate!!!

 

[Michelemarie]

VickiQ - is that a chain restaurant? If it is, I love it! We have one here in Chicago! Enjoy!

 

[BreezyCooking]

Too much running around today for me to even think of doing even a "quicky" dinner. Husband is going to pick up a pizza on his way home.

I don't think so- that's only part of the name of the restaurant- I don't remember the full name-we werethere once before and it was really good- My husband discovered Creamcicle martinis there-well he really doesn't remember much more than that!!

I dont cook on Fridays So it's take out pizza night for us, and some wine, beer. Elinoar, your eggplant recipe sounds great. I love eggplant, and your website is nice too.

dh is working another 48 so I'm contemplating if I should go get a pizza. Sounds really good but I don't think we can afford it right now. I should just eat at home.

Corazon- When my kids were little and my hubby put in a LOT of hours - I used it as an excuse to introduce them to things I had when I was little and couldn't get away with serving for dinner any other night- Jymm amd Dennis are 3 years apart as is Dennis and Kiersten so it was easy to have a cream cheese and grape jelly sandwich night or piggies in a blanket night or fried ravioli or english muffin pizza- we would watch videos of their choosing and eat in front of the tv- it brings back great memories now of spending that time with my kids enjoying old favorites. I hope you have MANY MANY of those memory making nights with Daddy home or not!!!Love and energy, Vicki
