What's on your Wednesday Menu?

I hope Marilyn is feeling better.

Thanks, Kelly. She was able to keep down liquids today, hopefully she can eat tomorrow.

G'morning all!

It's not Friday but I thought this pic was worth sharing. The sky above DH and his buddy, who is staying with us, was really neat.

QOTD: Rose: all is good in my world. I don't take it for granted, hence I appreciate every minute that no major fire needs to be put out. Thorn: I was on a risotto roll last night and ordered a salmon risotto. Very disappointed and after two bites I put the plate next to DH. He ate it all!

My meals yesterday :

• Coffee
• Epic chicken & PP coffee
• Fage yogurt w/blackberries on top
• Roasted Brussels sprouts, few bites of Salmon (skipped the risotto)
• E: cardio & weight

Happy hump day!

I read an article the other day about food that's popular on the Amalfi coast. It mentioned risotto made with lemon and ricotta - it's on my list! So is limone delizia (and of course, gelato is popular everywhere). I'd better do a TON of walking and stair-climbing, or I'm going to come home 10 lbs heavier!!!

I noticed in Italy I actually lose weight. The portions aren't as big and you automatically walk a lot more than here in US.
Gelato is def the best. I hadn't heard of risotto with lemon and ricotta, but it's gotta be a regional thing, or maybe a summer thing.
I love risotto and always try at Italian restaurants to see if they make it the way it's supposed to be, but most of the time I come away disappointed...but I never give up on my quest for perfect risotto in US!

We should make a trip to one of Tom collichio's restaurants. He is savage about bad risottos on top chef so I bet his is good but would love your experienced palate opinion!

Ooooh, I'd love to try his.

That's a great picture.

Hello Menu Friends

i am still in my hometown since today is my FILs funeral. We held the vigil service last evening which turned out beautiful. At age 95 there was a good turnout since many of the people he knew as friends have already passed. He is the last of his siblings to die.

QOTD: thorn- I maybe a bit tired and sensitive so have snapped at my son and dtr a few times ( they are teenagers and can be sarcastic at times). Sometimes it seems I can't do anything right according to my son. Can't wait until he "doesn't know everything better then everyone else". ROSE: beautiful vigil, I gave a wonderful testimony of how important my fil has been to me.

my eating can be more on target. It has been a little loosely goosey with all the family events. I will be trying harder starting tomorrow but will make good choices today since meals are tbd.

will try to get exercise in after the funeral and reception today.

I remember my son at about 12 or 13 telling me very sincerely that he just could not figure out how two people like his parents who knew nothing about anything could make it through life. He was not being mean, it is the way their minds work.
