Something About Nothing............ #14

A good Thursday morning to all the homies!

Sounds like many are up and busy already.

No excitement in my household today which is always a good thing.
But I think it is getting near for happy smiles from Kyle as his car is finally arriving.
That man must have a lot of patience waiting this long for his new ordered car to arrive

Schumi, you’ll have to fill us in on who gets to test drive Kyle’s car second

My money is on you .....mom’s are always the one sons turn to first

Laundry day for me
One of the cats puked on my bed.

lol....Thanks mac......yes, I`m betting it`ll be dad that wants the second go driving it, but my money`s on me! yes, mum`s get dibs on that!

It`s been such a long time since he ordered it in August. With the pandemic, they weren`t sure if November would be realistic for delivery.

But, Mercedes contacted him Friday to say it was arriving by ship at the port Monday, they`d get it yesterday and he picks it up Saturday!!! Yes, excited is an understatement.

This is his third brand new Mercedes from them, and hand over will be a little different. I sent you and Janet pictures of the lovely area they usually hand the car over from his last two cars purchased....they unveil the car in it`s own little private area, pull back the shiny sheet to reveal the car. This time as the showroom is officially closed, the hand over isn`t as glamorous as usual, but he knows the car well, this is the same model, as his previous two cars from Mercedes, but it is the newer model car, and the top of the range this time around, so some new specs for him and I try not to think about the horsepower it has! Thankfully he`s never been a boy racer type of guy, but good to have the horses when you need it.

He deserves his purchase.....he works hard and loves his cars. We are so keen to drive it too. You know how long it feels we`ve waited. Of course we`ll send you pictures again......there`s a few ladies on here I promised pics to also ::yes::

Hope the kitties are ok.....and don`t puke again! At least the day can only get better......yep......



Want to do a quick shout out to our mate Tink1957......Vicki, hope things are good and we miss you on here.......:wave2:




Waiting for them to go get fish and chips for dinner.....we`re eating early tonight as Kyle and co are heading outside to get the telescope out as sky is crystal clear...first time in ages due to cloudy weather. Too cold a hobby for me. It really is chilly out there tonight.
 
Ick Mac. But a very good reason to wash the sheets.

Well, bagel and cream cheese was breakfast. Fresh baked bagels need to be eaten quick. Not to say, there was only two left.

A what for lunch. Soup was claimed, so that’s out. Hey, DH needs gas for his truck, if he’s out at lunchtime, maybe he will bring lunch. Time to hint, and hopefully a not yet like Julie’s request for porch decor.

I wish I liked bagels.....love cream cheese though......hope you get something nice for lunch.


Lynne I just changed the sheets last night and found the surprise this morning.

Do have to say cat puke is a lot easier to clean up than kid puke....

When my boys were littles (and even in the upper grades)
when they felt bad during the night, they came to wake me up.
They cried and then puked on me/bed
I’m sure I am not the only mom that went thru that.

I was so glad when those days were over.

Cat puke is a lot easier to deal with.

Sending Mr Mac to Publix to buy dessert to go with tonight’s dinner.
I have him get the individual covered squares.

Learned not to buy a whole pie as we eat it up in two days.
We do like our sweets...and it shows


Oh gosh yes.....I bought a whole load of individual dessert dishes, so I could make smaller cheesecakes and similar.....if I made a full size one.....we`d eat it!!

Hope he gets something nice!!




Well, one step closer.... I got my pre approval for the meds. Not sure what the next step is, but I'm ready to get that first injection over with so I don't stress about it.

Ugh, I know! It was so cold this morning when I took the dogs out. It's 39 now, so and improvement, but not by much. But the sun is out and that's always good!

Taking one of my dogs for a nail trim later. He has black nails and I can't see the quick so I'm afraid to cut his nail too far down. But we have wood floors in most of my downstairs rooms and he's slipping too much and getting afraid to walk on some of them. Poor guy. Plus he needs those little tufts of fur between his pads done and I don't have the patience for it.

Hope everyone has a great day!

That is good news mrose......all good wishes for going forward for you, and yes anything that eases stress is good......

We have 36F right now....it is chilly out there!


Fish and chips are on their way.........
 
2nd cuppa break time here. Beautiful sunny day, supposed to be a big change from the 30 something temps yesterday to 60’s. Yeehaw!

Hair all done & likely nowhere to go next weekend:worried: the mr & I are on opposite ends of spectrum as to whether the trip will go as planned. Pinned him down to a pow-wow this weekend, going to have a bottle of wine chilled & ready to go

Struggling what to get DS & DIL for Christmas. Always do stockings of sweets, socks etc but would like to do a basket of baby things. Will be about 18 weeks then - do you think too early?
Is there past precedent in your family as to what is done re presents before birth? If so, I’d follow that. If not, well, i’m More of the gift card to store where it can be used toward whatever purchase...in part or whole. You can never go wrong with amazon GC imo :)

I think over here masks are being enforced and complied with in most places, but there`s always the minority who don`t think the rules apply. And glad GD is in the safe %. She`s a smart little cookie.......
Problem here is there are no broad, cohesive protocols in place; let alone enforcement of them. Recommendations are absolutely not mandates. Sad when it’s up to WM to tell people how to safely act...via insisting on masks being donned in their stores.

Although, I have heard tell of some places where even that simple step has been politicized to point where people are getting guff for electing to wear them

County in which I had hair done yesterday is very lax on the practice. Same town in which my eldest DS lives. Had to request that staff/customers at beauty shop that were at nearby station within 6 foot of me put them on. The owner came up to me quietly afterwards and thanked me. Said she felt in a bad position & was afraid to lose clientele. Seriously?

Appointment ran long. Didn’t have time to make something for the mr for dinner before he had to leave for work, so I ordered a Primanti sandwich and set off to pick it up.

When i got to restaurant, thought it was closed. 2 cars in parking lot. Walked in and several employees were crying. I thought something bad had happened inside the restaurant. Nope. The girls were distraught over losing their hours, again. My heart broke for them, a stimulus package has to be implemented to help both the employees and the restuarants or they won’t have jobs when the skies do part

To their credit, our county rules have generally been better thought out than the state’s. Majority of population followed their suggestions, that kept our area with low transmission. Now, factor in covid fatigue/halloween & unsanctioned parties/political rallies & we are teetering here

https://www.alleghenycounty.us/uplo...t-Home to Stop Social Gatherings Advisory.pdf
Yet, more alarming stuff here ala the road to hell is paved with good intentions...

The organizers of an ‘unofficial’ senior school dance have refused to release an attendance list to the above country health department for tracing. Note they had the event well outside our county, into the above-mentioned ‘beauty shop’ one where it’s the Wild West (or east in this case) of sorts as to covid mitigation.

https://www.post-gazette.com/news/h...g-covid-19-dance-parents/stories/202011170109
I still have the recipe you sent me years back for cornbread.....it always turns out lovely. I sometimes add jalapenos ala 4Rivers style.....huge success.
Glad you mentioned, need to put it on menu & pick up some sour cream
I picked the first delivery time available which was this morning, so we shall see if it arrives or if it becomes unavailable in the interim.

We really did not have dinner plans and I was still full from lunch so DH came home with an ice cream cake and presents. So all in all it was a nice birthday.
Sounds like a lovely day!
Being near the James River and Chesapeake Bay tributaries, oyster dressing is a big thing here.
Love fresh oysters. Another thing that’s very difficult to obtain here. Quality is more miss than hit, have given up on eating the ‘at home’/
You`d like the sausage meat based one, which isn`t really like sausages at all......very tasty and Tom reminded me I diced up bacon for last years too alongside everything else.....definitely a winner
Never tried bacon pieces in it but do tend to soften up my onions & celery in it

Thought of you the other day. Pulled out one of those inserts that’s packed in new small appliances, one in which they toss a few recipes.

Saw most called for minced meat. I was initially puzzled, thinking back to the mince meat (yuck) my mom would roll out now & again. Going to guess that equates to ground meat?
Guess you can tell I’m not a baker.

Those days are far behind me once the kids grew up.
I’m more of a cooker than a baker too. There’s a lot of time involved in decorations for many sweets, I don’t have the patience for it. However, no complaints on my offerings :).

Generally, I look upon cooking as a creative outlet, admittedly, there are days it just looms as a chore.

The only time we make fish where everyone eats it is our Vigilia de Natale; Italian Christmas Eve. I do make fish other times of the year and give some to my dad. He loves fish! But my mom is allergic so she doesn't cook it.
I was so glad to skip that menu after I dumped the ex. Not a calamari fan & the smoked eel, ooooh-the stuff of nightmares. Not being snobby, I was raised knowing how to cook offal...or, as we’d call it as kids; awful. Some it can be quite good if cooked properly

l
I'm annoyed by the new restrictions. I am all for masks, and being aware and careful, but it's crossing the line for the government to tell me what I should do in my own home. We are already super careful and know how to stay safe. We learned all this months ago when we were a hot spot in my county and we've not changed how we do things and rarely get together since all this started.
I guess they are targeting two different groups.

The houseparty type kids homes from college...so many outbreaks traced back to halloween gatherings

Family groups, mine included, where members who don’t live in the home will be at the table. I see my adult kids several times a week yet they don’t live “in” my house. We will continue that status quo and hope for the best.

The order does not apply to people who commute out of state for work."
Yet another example of a half-hearted edict, bowing to those who resist any real efforts.

Figure in another two weeks, a stronger slap down will be in place.

LOVE my KitchenAid stand mixer too! It's a work horse for sure. I have some attachments to go with it; spiralizer and sheeter, but I don't use them often.
I need to find a place for mine in my kitchen. It’s kept in large pantry room off the kitchen. Nine times out of ten, i’m Too lazy to drag it out of it’s cover. Does come out for the holidays though.

Have a pasta attachment I’ve yet to master. Do like the nut & meat grinder. Did my own sausage once that came out well.
How on earth can they enforce that in private homes?
Good question.
I never liked it when I was little. I explained that my mom always made Stove Top stuffing and I hated it. I was going on about how horrible it was. My friend didn't say a word, but walked over to the pantry, pulled out a box of Stove Top, and placed it on the counter. I couldn't believe i
That is so funny! insert foot in mouth :). Didn’t the texture off it give it away? It tends to look like mush to me
That is funny, Charade. I have never bought that box.
i’ve rarely used it for a few recipes as an ingredient along line of breading or topping for a dish. A few times would use as stuffing in braciole or stuffed chicken/pork chops

My gang want fish and chips from the chip shop tonight, so fish and chips it is. Only need to warm the plates for that and set the table.
Yum

I have a hankering for Univerals’s pizza fries. May try to replicate them for me & tell the mr to have his way with leftover roast chicken breast
Had Amazon delivery just before 9pm and parcel was empty
Oh my goodness, that’s a new one on me. Had to be disappointing
Regular accompaniment to our weekly roast chicken as littles love it made into meatball shapes.
My mom made what we called “stuffing balls”. Hmmm, you may have inspired me to whip a few up for the table.
I don’t know what my friend did to it, but he made it taste really good.
Magic :)
Did by a new large stock pot, needed one for a while, so got it now.
Large, Quality ones difficut to find here. Not a fan of the aluminum ones
Laundry day for me
One of the cats puked on my bed.
You can’t come back from that lol. When I had cats in the house, always had duvets on the comforters as so much easier to wash them.

Have a good pow wow.....

You`ll love sausagemeat stuffing balls.......very moreish! yes Amazon GC are what we have bought a lot of this year. Handy for all.....except my mother who still asks if we`ve ordered from that "amazing" place again......lol....not that I`d give my mother a GC.....but you know.....they are well received by all.

Awful to hear of the restaurant staff so upset. So many are suffering badly through all of this, it`s horrific. No wonder food banks are getting so busy.

Mince meat is quite a cheap product. It`s fine if it`s good quality and is used a lot for lasagne, mince and gravy (cottage pie) and burgers. We tend to get good steak minced from the butcher so we know it`s better quality....but it`s relatively cheap if it`s just the regular stuff from supermarkets. Yes, I`m a better cook than baker too, but I do try.......

I keep thinking of doing pizza fries, but never get around to it........let me know how they turn out if you do........

Happy new lovely hair do`....... :wave2:



I was going to whine our temp right now is 59 and won’t hit the 60’s until after lunch but just read schumi’s post of her weather


Prediction for my area for December/January weather means I’ll wait until the months are over before I step foot outside


lol.....we can never beat you with heat even on our best day.......but, with the cold.....yep......it really turned today. Up until now it`s been so mild, but the clouds were coming from the sea, I`m sure that wind comes straight from Siberia and aims for me! House is warm and cosy though........

You`re so used to warm weather now, I don`t blame you for hibernating when it cools down.



Fish and chips were delicious, but so huge a portion, and we asked for the medium size fish each. Won`t eat till at least.........oh breakfast tomorrow.....😁

I can’t believe I ate the whole thing:P If I squint I can smell the fog & hear the HHN chainsaws off in the far distance.

Had to laugh i was scrounging for a dish to fit in my air fryer when it hit me, use a pie pan ala the parks. I’m slow but I eventually do get there.

Ha, a few years ago when still up north, you’d be laughing that off We are dancing for another 60 degree day tomorrow. happy we will only dip into the 40’s over the next two weeks.
 
Ooh, they look tasty, Keisha. Great job.

Eh, pasta for us. Last of the red sauce and made some alfresco sauce too. Later sauce, little one would never try. I like both sauces, so mixed them. Yum. And house feels cool, so time for tea. Thirsty? Yep. And full.

Happy Thursday....Thanks for all the happy birthday well wishes, it was a nice day. The hand mixer was wrapped and on the dining room table when I got home yesterday. Can't wait to use it.

My tp and paper towels arrived from Amazon yesterday and I stopped by the grocery store and bought another pack of paper towels since they did have a few packs in stock. I told my husband that I think we are good for a while, and by that I mean until spring :) Everything else seemed to be adequately stock. No big meat rush like last time. Just the tp.

I left work early to get my stitches removed from when I had my two spots removed. Still no test results. I am sure it's fine but geez, ten days is a little excessive. I had a quick parent/teacher conference call with one of my son's teachers this afternoon. He didn't do too bad this marking period but certainly could have done better. The teacher kept calling my son Cameron, I had to correct him several times to say that I am Cameron. I hope he was just getting ds's name mixed up with mine, since I have a boys name and he was not talking to me about some other kid. 😄I will be so glad when he can get back into a classroom but that does not look like that will happen until mid January at the earliest.

Very cold day here. We had our first frost of the year, which worked out great since Thanksgiving is next week. The frost always make the collards sweeter and there is a beautiful field of them closeby. Will buy mine from the farmer's stand next week. It will be back into the high 60s by the weekend though.

Picked up a fried chicken family meal from a local bbq place down the road. It was pretty good and I didn't have to cook so win win.

I am watching new show on Prime, Friday Night Dinners. It's so funny. Will finish season 4 up tonight.

Thank you!!!

Aww, great sounding birthday Cam. Yeah, stinks to be back to routine. And yep, seeing even more blank shelves nowadays. I think we are good for a couple more weeks, so when going out, if see either kind of papers, will most likely buy it.

It was nice. Thanks! Hopefully the tp situation will not get any worse since people have been stocking up through the summer.

Our differences from the US to the UK are stark at times. Over here every single person I know and restaurants all do a sausage meat or similar base for stuffing.....although I was taught very early to never stuff the bird, so I never have. There are so many variations of flavours for stuffing all down to personal taste......some use chestnut stuffing which for me is rank......but its always meat based so interesting to read yours is breadcrumb based and called dressing???

Yes, we call it dressing. Stuffing is what we call it when it is cooked in the bird. You know, I am not sure if breadcrumbs is the right term. Small chunks of bread I guess you would say?? My mom cheats and buys the bags of Pepperidge Farm Bread Crumbs for dressing. I don't think it is seasoned. It is just dried chunks of bread and she adds the ingredients.

I love Publix cakes! Had the second best Dutch Apple Pie I`ve ever eaten from Publix.......delicious.
My husband loves their Key Lime Pie.

Happy Belated Birthday!

Thanks!!

I LOVE my KitchenAid stand mixer too! It's a work horse for sure. I have some attachments to go with it; spiralizer and sheeter, but I don't use them often.

I have a meat grinder attachment that I have had for several years. I used it for the first time this spring when there was a meat shortage and you could not find ground beef in the store. I bought a chuck roast and ground it up myself. Worked perfectly.


Happy birthday!
Thanks!!

I explained that my mom always made Stove Top stuffing and I hated it.

Oh gosh, I am one of those who likes Stove Top. My husband doesn't so I rarely buy it. There is a swiss chicken recipe that my mom made when I was a kid that used Stove Top. I loved it.

Can’t fault Amazon customer service immediately another ordered to be here by Saturday and refunds on other items which were third party.

They do have great customer service. Never have had to argue with them about refunds.

Love fresh oysters. Another thing that’s very difficult to obtain here. Quality is more miss than hit, have given up on eating the ‘at home’/

Yes, we are lucky this time of year. I have missed the big oyster roasts that different clubs have for fundraisers during the fall. Hopefully, next year. All the beer and roasted oysters you can consume. Makes for a fun afternoon.
 
Quick good evening. I am trying to shake a headache. I just took some Tylenol. Hope that helps.

Oh yes Charade, I`m sure I`ve seen that in grocery stores over there.....along with something called hamburger helper or server........yes, can`t imagine it being very appetising. Sometimes adding a few ingredients to something can make a difference.
Yep, Hamburger Helper. It's not great, but not the worst thing I've eaten.

Ack, Charade, early not good, hope you got back to sleep.
Thanks. I managed to get back to sleep for a little over an hour, but I had several weird dreams. One was about a high school classmate I haven't thought about in years. His name is Jack, but some kids called him Jacket Jack becasue he wore the same jacket every day no matter what the weather. He was very smart, but socially awkward. Possibly on the spectrum. I dreamed that I was reading a story about him in a magazine. He had become a famous engineer. When I woke up I looked him up on Facebook. He didn't become and engineer. He is an actuary.

Laundry day for me
One of the cats puked on my bed.
Ick. Caspian seems to favor the carpet, even when he is just inches away from the kitchen floor.

Well, one step closer.... I got my pre approval for the meds. Not sure what the next step is, but I'm ready to get that first injection over with so I don't stress about it.
Great news. Hopefully the injections won't be too difficult and won't cause much anxiety.

I’m more of a cooker than a baker too. There’s a lot of time involved in decorations for many sweets, I don’t have the patience for it.
I usually stick to simple things. If I try to get fancy they never look good. The food tastes fine, it just doesn't look pretty. I have a few things i make that people think I spent a lot of time on. I don't corrrect them.

That is so funny! insert foot in mouth :). Didn’t the texture off it give it away? It tends to look like mush to me
It had been so long since I ate Stove Top that I didn't remember what the texture was like.

My tp and paper towels arrived from Amazon yesterday
Yay! I was in Walmart to day. No TP and only a few rolls of cheap, store brand paper towels.


Good night everybody.
 
Keisha those look fabulous! And nice idea on using the container......yes, I can hear those chainsaws......lol.......


@cam757 we love Friday night dinner! One of the funniest shows ever, but describe it to someone and they‘ll look at you like you’re odd. First thing I saw the dad Martin in was Chernobyl and we hated him in it......but he’s so funny in this........squirrel anyone.......lol........
Glad the stitches came out ok......never fun! And yes, dinner sounded so good!



Charade......dreams are so funny at times! I often wonder what is in our minds to come up with some of them.......hope the headache clears up......




No night light tonight?

I had to use my phone flashlight so I wouldn't trip on the steps.

even I had to stumble my way in tonight.......pitch black over here right now.......:rotfl:



Wide awake club here.......had a cup of tea in the kitchen and now debating whether to go back to bed or not bother.....almost 5am, would be getting up in an hour........

I’ll have another cup of tea and think about it.......busy day tomorrow so really should be sleeping........
 
I had to look twice to what time it was when I saw your post.. o_O

Your early bird posting caught me looking at the clock thinking it was early morning here.
Like in “ have I been up all night”...

Think Schumi is catching zzzzz’s


lol......yes, it`s not usual for me to be around at that time of the night......I enjoy my sleep too much usually! And yes, I did get back to sleep.....we have a huge comfy sofa over by the windows in the kitchen and I mistakenly got comfy on it........we never close the blinds on those bifold doors, so the security light woke me up around 6 due to a fox roaming around........that was me up after that.




And finally Friday for those that await the end of the week........

Looks dull outside but 40 F to rise to a massive 46F later today.......time for the winter coat to come out, well maybe a winter jacket and new boots time! Always a favourite time of year.

My friend who passed away 4 years ago, gave me as part of my Christmas the year before, a pair of red leather gloves. But, for the last two years I could only find one....I kept coming across it and thinking I had found the other. But, Tom found the other one in a box of books yesterday....no idea how it got there, but I have my gloves back she got me. I do have other gloves, but those were from her so, they were special.

Few things going on today for us, then plan to do a charcuterie of sorts tonight for dinner. But, our deli is closed so it`s a limited selection, it`ll still be nice though. Just to decide whether it`s red or white........🍷

Have a wonderful Friday.................​
 
Glad you were able to catch some zzz's finally @schumigirl I hope all the homies are doing alright!

Almost at the end of school. A little over two weeks to go!

Feeling a bit meh today, but I shall truck on. I'm sure I'll feel better as the day grows on and might be just a struggle of waking up. I did go to bed later than I normally do.

TGIF for those who are working I'm sure!

Long drive to boonies for what I hope is final post op check with ENT today. Sun is shining, at least will be a pleasant drive.

The hand mixer was wrapped and on the dining room table when I got home yesterday. Can't wait to use it.
Mine is decades old. Had thought to put a request in as xmas present. What model did you get? Was looking at the kitchenaid version but saw mixed reviews.
I left work early to get my stitches removed from when I had my two spots removed. Still no test results. I am sure it's fine but geez, ten days is a little excessive. I had a quick parent/teacher conference call with one of my son's teachers this afternoon. He didn't do too bad this marking period but certainly could have done better. The teacher kept calling my son Cameron, I had to correct him several times to say that I am Cameron. I hope he was just getting ds's name mixed up with mine, since I have a boys name and he was not talking to me about some other kid. 😄I will be so glad when he can get back into a classroom but that does not look like that will happen until mid January at the earliest.
That is unacceptable wait time for test results. Lab must be slammed. Did you try contacting dr’s office to poke them?

Ouch, how difficult is it to stay on track re a pupil’s name? So your son is all virtual learning then? JMHO but would think with the upheaval in. Place, they’d go with a pass/fail system.
Red or black licorice?

I favor the black in case you are handing some out..
You are only the 2nd person, other than my Dad, who I know that enjoys black version
I have a few things i make that people think I spent a lot of time on. I don't corrrect them.
Nor should you :)
Wide awake club here.......had a cup of tea in the kitchen and now debating whether to go back to bed or not bother.....almost 5am, would be getting up in an hour........
Same here but I reached over & grabbed the tv remote. Not sure who growled louder...the mr or the dog. Both are still zonked out
But, Tom found the other one in a box of books yesterday....no idea how it got there, but I have my gloves back she got me. I do have other gloves, but those were from her so, they were special.
That’s a very good sign :). Happy for you
Almost at the end of school. A little over two weeks to go!
Sweeeeeet! As in you are completely done?
