What's For Dinner?

[SillyLoocie]

I'm actually cooking our turkey for real..... finally!

[Natalka]

Oh, I'm so envious of turkey, already!

We're going out of the box and I'm grilling sirloins on the stovetop tonight, will have with packet potatoes, glazed carrots, and Caesar salad.

Treated the boys to Dairy Queen for dinner. Then off to the movies. Love having these 2 weeks off school and work. Feeling free

Nothing major for me after big dinners with family both monday and christmas day. However on new years eve I will be by myself. I'm going to get a sushi tray, lobster tails and a couple other things. Then the next day I'll think geez that went by quick lol.

the fridge is still packed up. Xmas Day we did have a bit too much on the menu so the entire roasted and stuffed bird barely got touched, funny how the desserts were wiped out faster though. So this weekend will be clean up time, Hot turkey sammies with stuffing smothered in gravy!

^ Oh, droool!

Tonight, we're having zakuski - which means pretty much, little things to nibble on - but all added up, you can get quite full!

Spinach dip baked in pumpernickel loaf
mini quiche
antipasto - I made previously and froze in small batches
ham garlic sausage, ham, salami
homemade cheese logs (never made before, can't wait to see how they turned out)
assortment of crackers, cheeses, pickles
smoked oysters

[annedougherty]

Cabbage rolls and mashed potatoes

[Natalka]

Garlic sausage fans may understand this!

Best sausage in Edmonton (I've had it, it's fab!) - and the trials of getting some for Christmas, it's so funny.

Going to our friends tonight so not sure-it is always yummy though!

I looked in the freezer and pulled out whatever odds and ends were in there. Fries, battered fish, peas & corn, perogies, even made some fried eggs. Cleared up some much needed space in the freezer for the next round of leftovers.

leftovers and more leftovers.........

I threw my back out yesterday. First it was just a twinge as I reached into our bird's cage (bending just a little, random thing!). But I was planning to go to the gym, was in my gym gear, decided I'd go anyhow and do just a gentle workout, maybe work out this kink. I went on the treadmill for 20 minutes to warm everything up, was fine. Went to stretch for a few minutes before moving on, stretched my hamstrings, then put my feet together, knees toward the floor, bent my body forward...and my back went completely into spasm, from the middle to just above my bum. I could barely get off the floor, had to ask another exerciser to please pick up my phone since I could not bend. Went home on the bus standing up since I knew if I sat I would not get up on my own.

We've been walking a lot since then, geocaching, shopping, my back has improved but I'm being very cautious, so asked DS and DH to please fix dinner with my supervision since I can't bend with confidence. Spaghetti, jarred sauce, Italian sausages (which DS had great fun in slicing with my very sharp Henckles knives I never let him use) and garlic bread. I need to give these guys more training! DH is fabulous in all other respects, cleans, etc. but does not cook.
