Good Morning!

Dark, dreary and raining is the prelude of what the day will be like. The high of 60 and the low of 50.

I am making beef and noodles, peas, pickled beets and a fresh pineapple.

What will be your dinner be this Friday night?

livetobake: your dinner sounds just soooo yummy!

We have another gorgeous day. I did all my chores early yesterday and was able to sit out on back deck and read for a few hours, I also got a sunburn.
I will do same this aft, but will put on sunscreen and not tanning lotion.
Tonight's dinner will be frozen veal cutlets, rice with green onions, and going to try a DelMonte 'new to me' corn medley, I will choose between Mediterranean or Mexican style

Thanks Mudder. Yours and rosie's both sounds really good also.

I cooked John a steak with chips, eggs and onion... I had some sweet corn cobettes and some soup. I cooked a big pot of vegetable soup using a whole BBQ chicken for the stock. It turned out amazingly good and I'll probably live on it for the next week.

We have a big week ahead of us:

Tomorrow (Saturday 7th) is our 45th wedding anniversary. We are going out for a special lunch with our Adelaide family, Julia and I are then going to a very fancy dessert restaurant and then we are going to a Wiggles concert for adults.

8th is Mothers' Day... having dinner with Adelaide family... possibly with cake

11th is my birthday... cake for dessert

12th is Andrew's birthday (6)... more cake

13th my son, Charlie is flying in to stay a few days with us

14th is Andrew's birthday party... another cake

Oh man, long tiring day! Got up early, had a quick hotel breakfast, loaded up the car and prepped the ice chest and headed for Trader Joe’s. I found it easily, got what I wanted there, came back to the hotel to pick up Abby and check out. I hit the road for home at 10:38 am and it was absolutely pouring! Heavy rain where you really had a hard time seeing and hoped they hadn’t run out of white paint for the lane lines. Not fun. It took me 1/2 hour to go 2 miles when I got to Tacoma, opened up for awhile and then I hit Seattle. It wasn’t as bad as I expected until I got well to the north of the city and then it crawled pretty much the whole way to and through Everett. Once I got through that it opened up and was easy the last 20 miles or so. Once I got home I unloaded the car, fed Abby and unpacked just the necessities and ate a quick dinner in my jammies. I will say I’ve had enough of big cities to last me another few years! I do not miss that at all!

I had a Trader Joe’s Harvest Chicken Salad with some extra meat added to it for my dinner.
