What's on your Monday Menu, RNYers?

Morning menu gang!

looks like freezing rain here, so I need to hustle to get to work in good time!

Going to see Beauty and the Beast tonight!

Qotd: I started asking questions pretty much right away, but only joined the menu thread once I started the pre op diet. And I haven't looked back!

Menu:

B: premiere protein

L: leftover steak and veggies

D: something with ground beef

S: skyr with bran buds and cheese with veggies

Have a good one!

I LOVED Beauty and the Beast! And yeah, I know we shouldn't mix an actor's roles, but there were a few moments when I wanted to scream "Go Go Gryffindor!" when Belle is all fearless... and when Hermione, I mean Belle, walks into the library????

Good Morning GrimBerry and Menu Family! Happy Monday!

QOTD: I didn't lurk, I started posting right away. I don't remember exactly how I found the menu thread, but I come here every day and I love it! I feel like I know all of you and that you are my friends. Thanks for being here and for your advice and support!

B: bacon & spinach egg frittata

L: Wendy's apple pecan chicken salad

D: (not sure) Need to go grocery shopping

S: light n fit Greek yogurt

Exercise: Walking Blossom around the neighborhood & shopping at Walmart.

Have a FANTASTIC day everyone!

I like this menu thread too (note that I had VSG, not RNY). I was always reading it and enjoying the QOTD, the menus that people posted, but mostly the personalities. I think the QOTD helps bring the latter out.

Good morning JB! Yes the weekend was way too fast! Hope Grim had a safe flight!

My best news today is hubby is FINALLY DONE JURY DUTY!!! He got home late afternoon Friday. He has been in Jury Duty since Beginning of October 2016, and then on March 17 he was sequestered for 8 days (meaning ZERO contact with the outside world!!!) living at a hotel with the 12 other Jurors, yes just like in the movies!! The trial was 3 young men (21 - 25 yrs old) accused of Murdering a guy back in 2012 (over drugs, two rival Gangs) The Jury found 2 of the three people guilty of Murder and one not guilty. He said this is by far the hardest thing he has ever done in his life. He is emotionally & mentally spent. It is SO AMAZING to have by best friend back!

Now to get my Mom sorted out... they have found a second tumor now in her right breast. We won't know until April 7th if she is looking at more surgery for the second tumor removal or if they will do a mastectomy. Things are rough at my parents house, they are pretty upset/not coping so well but we will get through this!

QOTD: I lurked for about 3 months and read a lot then started to post on the Menu thread that used to be run by DCGirl (Emily) back then, so glad I did, I have learned SO much and made awesome friendships!

So glad Arun's jury duty is finally done and my heart goes out to you and your parents. Xoxox

Daisy, So sorry that your Mom is going through this. Sounds like you are great support for her (she needs you). I'm glad your DH is done with the trial. I can't even imagine how tough that must have been.

So sorry your family is going through such difficult heLth issues. I will keep all of you in my prayers.

Oh Daisy, I'm so sorry to hear they found a second tumor on your mom! Sending prayers! I am very thankful that Arun is done with jury duty, though! That's wonderful! Big hugs!

Sending you so many hugs.
