Tuesday Roll Call

Hello everyone

I have the day off today.  I am going to the doctor and it's at 10am and I figured I am not going to mess around with making up time.  So I took the day off. 

I made Italian chicken sausage wraps last night it they were good..I made homemade brownies for the first time last night.  I have made cake and cookies homemade, but never brownies.  Chris mentioned he liked brownies.  So I thought I would surprise him.  I made dark chocolate brownies...because he loves dark chocolate.  Oh they came out super yummy and the recipe was easy compared to the other recipes. I will have to post it.  I of course always, always use full calorie items in my recipes...like butter not marjarine...and I like to use organic eggs and butter and so on.  I think it adds to the flavor.

***Now I didn't put the espresso powder in the recipe.  I also bought a dark chocolate dove bar and chopped it up and sprinkled it on top along with the powdered sugar.  Like I said it was very yummy and not as complicated as some of the recipes I saw out there.

I had a slice but he needs it he is so darn skinny and needs some fattening up. 

Today after the doctor I am going to Chris's and working on the exhaust system on the car.  I am going to install the O rings...an easy job I can do.  Then go home workout...make dinner.  That is it.  How about you guys???

Well I have to get going now...have a good day...bye

Good Morning,

i decided this morning that I needed to start on some desk drawers. I did 2 of the drawers in my desk, and after I do what I need to do otherwise, I will come back and work on the other 5 plus the middle one. I can honestly say that the two that are done weigh alot less.

I made two hedgehog planters yesterday. I filled them with hens and chickens. You can see them on my page on FB. I think they are cute, and they were free and fun to make.

Sharon, your weight gain, could it be water and not weight?

Everyone have a great day, only 3 more days to the weekend.

Hugs,

Lisa,

You are brilliant! I stepped on the scale today and it is GONE! It was water. I am so happy

Have not yet found a Django tutorial that starts close to 0.

Started going through Udacity's CS 101 which seems to have a path to a web framework but not sure which one yet.

Planning on going to a meeting with about a hundred web developers tonight and to the loop before that.

All of that and still feeling very curmudgeonly, snarly, and negative this morning.

Hello friends,

I went to the doctor today for my yearly physical. She was very pleased with how I'm doing except I need to exercise more. Ya think? I know it, I just don't do it. Otherwise I'm good for another year.

today is Kay's birthday so we are going out to dinner with the same friends we always celebrate birthdays with. We're going to Abreo which is owned by the same man who owns Social, so it's like dining with personal friends.

I posted a number of the knitting projects I've done this year on Facebook. I haven't been able to post them very well on this page. So if you want to see them on FB, they are under Connie Garry. I think I'm already FB friends with most of you. I've go another scarf blocking and two almost done.

Have a good day and enjoy the lovely weather!

Connie

Connie,

Please give Kay a belated Happy Birthday wish from me..........sorry I missed it. Hope she had a lovely day with you.........

Good morning Crystal and the rest of Illinois!

I am working today and have to run to the bank and the library.  I just finished listening to "Sophie's Choice" and now must get the movie.  What a great book!

Liv is home this week, so she is going to finish priming the porch furniture so that I can get it painted and start using it.  I got tired of all the rain delaying the project so I AM using the first two pieces that are primed, but they will be painted an ocean-blue-turquoise color, I think.

I need to begin scouring Goodwills, Salvation Armys and consignment shops for chandeliers.  I have had many requests for garden chandeliers!

Crystal----is there a recipe for the wraps?

Connie----please give Kay my birthday wishes!

Gotta get back to work.

Everyone have a splendid day!

Dawn-  There really is no recipe for the wraps.  It's just a tortilla, chicken Itailian sausage, sauce, a slice of cheese....and if you want onions and green peppers.  I cooked the sausage, then wrapped everything together and baked until slightly brown.

Sounds good!  Thanks!

Crystal,

I agree with you. Butter, organic eggs....yummo!
