Good Morning,

I'll be right back !!
Gotta ship the old boss out to a meeting :)

Leens :dizzy:

Hey Leens, didn't you like my Wednesday thread???:D :D :D
(She really isn't blonde..honest!:p )

Mornin'
 

Yawn.. asleep asleep. But no coffee for me today. After yesterday's horrible heartburn episode, I am taking it easy on irritants.. that means no caffeine, sodas, peppers.. etc until things calm down. I now have a giant bottle of Maalox here in case it happens again.

2.5 days left til the weekend... I won't start doing a count down until my nex vacation until next month.. it is too excrutiating. :)

I made egg foo yung last night for dinner.. yum. Liked it a lot. I've been getting lazy eating veggies, so I need to get back with it. Not going over my calories, just not getting good nutrients. Grilled zucs with dinner tonight, or else broccoli.. one or the other.

How is everyone else's day going?

I'm BAAAAAAAAACK

Finally she's gone (HAPPY DANCE :jig: )

Tip believe me I've done some pretty tupid dings in my life to, and I'm sure I'll do some more. Blond ? hehehehe :s:

Linda EggFooYoung whats in that stuff anyway, I don't think I've every ventured and tried that one. I hear you on the veggies, I am either eating carbs or proteins but none of it veggies or fruit. Are you feeling a little better ? don't drink to much of that malox stuff, I think it has sorbitol in it which makes you pfffffffffffft !

Nuthin new here, SOSDD, really busy though, will it ever end ??

Lizzy, Leg, everyone else ???? WAKE UP !!!!!! :lol:

I need to get my feet checked out. These hoofs are really hurting lately and no matter what shoe I wear, the one foot really hurts. I'm begining to think its all due to my added weight and getting old lol. I'm not going to a doctor cause it would be really embarassing for him or her to tell me what I already know. Oh Well .. oink.

I feel like opening the window here at work and just screaming out - nothing in particular, just wanna be silly. Maybe a few spit balls at passer by's ? Linny wanna play ?

:s:

Play time YES!!
 

Leens, come pick me up. We can lob water balloons out of passing windows.. :s: :lol:

Egg foo yung is chinese egg patties, basically

Here is a basic recipe I use:

Ingredients


1 tablespoon vegetable oil ( I used half the oil here)
1 green bell pepper, chopped ( I usually change this to carrots or cabbage)
1 onion, chopped
1 cup cooked shrimp - peeled, deveined and chopped
1 cup fresh bean sprouts
1 (5 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and sliced
3 tablespoons soy sauce
5 eggs ( I use egg beaters)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons soy sauce


Directions
1 Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute bell pepper and onion until tender, then stir in shrimp, bean sprouts, water chestnuts and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Heat through, then remove skillet from heat and set aside.
2 Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a second large skillet. In a medium bowl, beat eggs until thick and lemon colored, about 5 minutes. Stir in vegetable mixture, then pour mixture into heated skillet, forming patties about 5 inches in diameter. Fry until browned, then turn and fry on other side until browned. Drain, place on an oven-safe platter and keep warm in oven until read to serve.
3 To Make Hot Soy Sauce: In a small bowl combine the cornstarch, water, bouillon and 2 tablespoons soy sauce and beat together. Serve with warm patties.


You can use any mixture of veggies and meats you like. Just mix meat and veggies with eggs, make into patties.. and cook. Some times I make this into one big omlette, instead of patties.. I am lazy.

I only drink the Maalox when I am having a bad heartburn attack, which isn't very often. The liquid is the only thing that will stop it. I have almost every remedy known to man.. tums, maalox, pepto, zantac and gaviscon. I take the gaviscon and tums in case I am going to eat that might dissagree with me. I don't mind about goig pffffft, Leens.. remember I already have that problem anyway... :lol:

I have a bunch of fresh basil I need to do something with.. any ideas other than traditional pesto? ( yumyumyumyum)

Basil mmmmmmmm

Yup how about this:

Chop up a few Tomatoes
Chop up some slices of Onion
1 - 2 cloves of garlic crushed
Salt to taste
Chop up finely basil (I use dry sweet basil but fresh is good too).
Add all together and mix.

Get some french or italian bread and toast or grill it (grill it mmm).
Brush some olive oil on top

Put some of the tomato mixture on top of the toasted bread slices and top off with some grated cheese.

OMG is this good, its even better the next day

I'll pick you up at 5 Linny, waterballoons cool !!
