Sizzlin Sunday WLS Express

Good morning! Its going to be a hot day today-almost hot enough to sizzle bacon and cook eggs on the sidewalk! Hop on board and tell us what you're up to today!

 Good morning Alissa,

Today I have NO plans.  I think I'm going to take a cue from the great outdoors and stay indoors.  I have some laundry to do and the kitchen needs some tidying.

I have to crow about Vivian and all the people at the Sunnyside group yesterday.  Breakfast and the company and conversation was WONDERFUL!  (not to mention the food was really good).

I ran to the thrift store yesterday looking for some onion soup bowls.  Found them...(for only $1.75 each for the 2 with lids and $.75 each for the smaller ones without lids).  But I also found that I fit into a size 12 jeans now.  YAHOO!!!!

Going to try some simple pot pies for dinner tonight in my new soup pots.  Just a 'cheater' version with roasted turkey, frozen veggies, some low fat cream of celery soup and cornstarch (a teeny bit) as the base and then just cut out a circle of puff pastry for the top.  I really should find something cold to eat on such a hot day but I'm in the mood for something in the comfort food vein and pot pies seem to fit the bill.

Have a super Sunday all.

Woo hoo for size 12! Congrats. Hope to see you in 2 weeks at our support group at Central Market too!

 I am so glad that I got to meet you Jenn and I glad that you really enjoyed yourself yesterday.   Hope to see you again and PLEASE share the recipe with us for the chocolate protein cake.  YUM.   Please don't forget to update your Avatar.....you don't look like the one that you have now.     Hope you come back and join us again.   We all enjoyed meeting you.    Have a blessed weekend.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Its Sunday. I'm supposed to return to work tomorrow. I am unsure about that, but I guess I'm going to give it a try. Liz, my hero, is going to drive me so I don't have to drive and walk and work. That will give me another day to build up strength to do it all.
I slept much better last night-thankfully! My body is still sore though-I need a massage.

Dana- I hope you are recovering well. Viv-you too- are you able to eat yet or still liquids? Gina- hope you are getting better each day with your PT. Michelle- how are you doing?

I hope everyone has a great day today!

 Alissa....so sorry you are still having issues with your foot.  You are still in my thoughts and prayers.   I ate 3 meals yesterday and I was trying to vomit last night.   I think going from soft to full blown food ( 3 meals ) was too much so today I am going backwards and only going to do 1 to 2 meals and protein shakes for the other.     I always try to do things too quickly after surgery.    LOL  Guess I have to remember I am getting older and need to take things slowly.    I hate doing things that way but my body was really rebelling last night.   LOL    So back I go.  Have a blessed day and glad sweet Liz is taking you to work.....I imagine it really hurts driving so quickly.   Hope your foot improves quickly.

Jenn....I probably should know this but what are onion bowls?  Your turkey pot pie does sound good. I've been in a baking mood these last few days for some reason. It's so stinkin hot I hate to heat up the house so I've been baking in the middle of the night while it's cooler. Last night I made some protein Otter Bars. Pretty tasty!

Beast and I had planned to hit the Sheldon Reservoir Nature Center to take some photos but they are predicting at least 100º so I think we'll find something to do indoors! There's a new pistol range in Crosby, maybe we'll check them out. My internet modem has been acting up, I'm waiting on a repair guy now, supposed to be here between 8-11a...we'll see how prompt they are! I've got some sewing I can do while I wait.

 Onion soup bowls are the little crocks with a single handle and usually have a little lid.  They kind of look like a glazed pottery mini "saucepan".

The little high end kitchen store near my house has them but they are about $18 apiece.  I wanted some...but not THAT bad.

Oh, I've got a couple of those, didn't know they had a name! I use one of them all the time, my soups stay hot longer and that's a good thing when you eat slow!

I agree...$18 is a bit much!

Good Morning all! Up at em and ready for work! Going to take the grandgirls to breakfast and then head to work. We were up till almost one watching movies with them. "Percy Jennkins andThe Lighting Thief" Was really super, "The Bounty Hunter" not so hot!!!

It is going to be a scorcher out ther so make sure you drink plenty of fluids!! Or, you can come shopping with me and stay cool!!!

Make it a great day or just fake it!!
