I was off work this afternoon and I grocery shopped (the second visit of infamy). Turns out I’m not really done – I still need celery root and creamer and beef short ribs. I also hit Target and Kohl’s for a chair cover for Gene’s old chair. Like the title says, I am soooo–yawn–oooo tired.

Two grocery trips = good idea
My shopping list for Thanksgiving is two pages long. I did half the shopping today (the stuff for tonight’s dinner and non-perishable Thanksgiving food). Two trips was Gene’s idea, but it was a great one. My cart was freaking full. I seriously would have needed Gene to come with me and push his own cart…
::peeks head up::
is it Black Friday yet? ‘Cause I’m just about to pop with all of this Thanksgiving planning! We are hosting Thanksgiving for my in-laws again this year. Since I am married to famous chef Jean (ok, Gene), there has to be a menu and it has to be planned. Pshaw. Do you know how many…
Mmm, meatloaf…
Actually, mmm, meatloaf. Finally, I have a meatloaf recipe that doesn’t come out the consistency of pate’ (stupid Ann Landers meatloaf). It’s the first time I’ve cooked in a week or two. I have a full menu for this week (except for Thursday, I think, as it is Check Cutting Thursday and I usually just…
Mmm, fiber…
I am now officially an old person. I gnaw on two Fiber Choice (now with calcium!) pills daily. I guess next is a walker or a hearing aid. The Fiber Choice pills look a lot like giant smarties but, surprisingly, don’t taste like it. I seriously nibble on it because they are GIANT (nickel sized).*…
You still here?
Wow. Anyway. Made dinner tonight. Sausage, gravy and biscuits from my mom’s recipe (I made her tell me how to make it. I’ve spoken to my mom 3 times in the last two days. I’m pretty certain she’s talked to me enough for awhile!). It turned out really yummy. I love making a menu and…
Too Funny!
Yes, I know it’s 2 AM and a school night. (Only a half day tomorrow – woot!) Ooh, speaking of…I should check woot.com… ehh, only a watch. Anyway! It’s been quite a crappy night. I finally crashed from all the NO soda days and had a Pepsi with dinner (Shake n’ Bake pork chops, mashed…
Cookie sheet mania
Wilton’s big answer was: “Ehh, we’re sorry. Guess you’ll have to wash the cookie sheet. Loser.” I totally should have told them that I’m bitching about this to my entire huge readership. (Hi Mom! Hi Julie! Hi Brandy!). I also got an answer from one of the above named people saying basically the same thing…
Cooked again…
Tonight, I made this salmon dish for dinner. Gene wanted fish or chicken for dinner, and he found the recipe. Plus I got flustered at the grocery store today (I was doing a shh! secret shop and my regular shopping at the same time) and bought the salmon early. Whoops. Anyway, I give it 4 stars….
ooh, ooh!
Did you know that haricots vert are GREEN BEANS?? Criminey. I’m at allrecipes.com, my second favorite place to find recipes (after the Naptime Gourmet) and they are advertising a Bastille Day menu. Humm, I say. I know a couple of chuckleheads who were MARRIED on Bastille Day (that would be Gene and I). One of the…
