Just popping in to say hello. I'll try to check in again tomorrow. :)

Good morning! Rumor has it that we're going to see the sun today, but it's going to have to battle it's way through the thick blanket of gray clouds first.

Today's agenda includes going out to lunch with Dad and then cooking ahead for the coming week. On the menu are a broccoli rabe frittata, parsnip & apple soup, roasted chickpeas for snacks, and I'm debating on either the Breakfast Cheesecake or Lentil Brownies.

What's everyone up to today, now that the weather has calmed down?

Good morning, Linda. Hope you have a nice lunch with your Dad today. I am also going to be cooking: soup, quiche for the week and I haven't decided what yet for dinner.

Other than that, I will finish the cleaning that I didn't get to yesterday and probably fill the wood rack in the basement. We had a huge day of melt yesterday and our drive is partially bare.

But first, coffee!:coffee2:

eta: Ok, Phase 1 Shepherd's Pie wins for dinner tonight.

Good Morning:sunny:

Yesterday was my early morning at work, which was complicated, in that DH needed the car. I thought I'd get to say hello from work but it was too busy.

We're up and getting organized to head to the project by 8. We're trying to finish the kitchen countertop today. It looks beautiful...just lots of unanticipated issues as DH and helper worked yesterday.

Have a great SUnday everyone!

Good morning chicks! I slept until 7:45, how bizarre. The coffee is still brewing, we have the slowest coffee maker around.

Sun? What's that?

I'm not sure what we're doing today...DH leaves 3ish for a conference that he'll be gone to until Wednesday :(. Maybe I'll make the kids clean, whaddayathink?

Cottage, enjoy your lunch! I think I'm about to make my third batch (1/3 batch each time) of cheesecake :).

Beth - you guys are inspiring me to cook today ----mmmmmm

Debbie - ooooh, I love looking at the new countertops, I'm glad you like them!

I'm sititng here trying to think of the menu for the week. With DH gone, the kids certainly don't care, and I'm quite happy with a bean burger over romaine. Hmmmm....I don't think I'll be cooking much :).

Good morning. Had a wonderful Dinner with my Girls in a gracious 1870 mansion. The food was as gorgeous as the house. Needless to say, I am avoiding the scale today.

My old body seems to have dodged the bullet again when I fell. I have some rather attractive new bruises and renewed aches and pains but am sure I'll live to fall again. The dogs had yummy scrambled eggs, cooked carrots and a sprinkle of Panko for breakfast. Later this morning I'll venture out for proper dog food. I don't want them to get accustomed to gourmet cooking.

More cooking will be on the plan for today. We are having a big Open House at the Town Hall on Wednesday to discuss our plans for Delta. I think some cookies will be in order so my new Kitchen Aid will spend some quality time together. This will also use up my stash of baking supplies and butter!

Getting rid of some snow sill also be on the plan. I need to shovel a path through the snow to the icy lane in front of the barn so I can get my car out. Yesterday's fall was not on ice but on the snow crust which softened enough that I could no longer walk on the crust. My Yak-Tracs handle ice really well.

Have a great Sunday no matter what you do.

Good morning.

It's supposed to be very nice here today - unseasonably warm. Unfortunately the hiking trails are closed because of the wet conditions. Today is day one gluten-free. DH seem to be joining me, which will be nice. We are going to experiment with quinoa for breakfast since he's been doing steel cut oats for so long, having mostly given up eggs. Not much else planned for the day. I had been scheduled to work but they cut me shift since it hasn't been busy. I guess I'll look through the stack of cookbooks I got from the library!

Have a good one.

good morning ladies!

down 7 pounds this morning! And feeling super sore from the gym, and not a good sore either. Meh. Heading out there today but first, some coffee.

Enjoy the good weather if you've got it (we don't though it might be warmer than it appears!)!

5 minutes left! Good morning :coffee2: I hit the chores as soon as I dropped Tim at work and am just sitting down now.

It is warmer here but our driveway was a skating rink this morning, an uphill skating rink :eek: I need to go see how it's doing and try to get a little more sand on it. It's challenging when I can't walk on it.

Jenn - congratulations!

I have my food back on track for Phase 1.5 - 2 (no grains or sweeteners but winter squash, fruit, & a little wine) but I just am not getting the exercise in. I just need to restart from scratch because I've completely lost the habit. Hope I remember next time that it's easier to stick with it then to re-establish the habit. ugh.

On to more chores.

Missed checking in yesterday. On my break so I thought I would check in. Happy to be back in patrol (car job not foot post), but I am exhausted. I'll get my work grove back soon...hopefully. Maybe another cup of coffee would help lol
