darn it....sorry you got the darn covid. It will never go away, always a new variant brewing. get better soon!!

I think it is high time your DH learned to eat his meat sauce on other shapes of pasta! After all he is a big boy now. Our local place has a special on fish and chips tonight and the neighbour gave us a gift card there-so I will invite my Mum to go for dinner tonight.

lol! My DH is the best even though I pick on him in the sc posts. He loves to cook BUT seems to gravitate to the same dishes every time, spaghetti with meat sauce is the main one. When he does make a dinner, he goes all out and sets the dining room table up, opens a bottle of wine, even puts out napkins! DS and I think it's adorable when he toasts us before we eat. He's a keeper for sure.

I am so jealous of the fresh fish & chips you are enjoying in NflD. Nothing we have in Ontario compares to the flavour of East Coast fish.

Glad you enjoyed it-it is nice to splurge one in a while!

that Keg get together was awesome! DH was feeling especially generous and asked for ONE bill and paid for the whole table! Yikes!! I better go into my budget for March and April to see how this impacts us....lol.

Good for you-it sure is a yummy dish no matter how you make it!

This morning I cut up that huge cauliflower and made a batch of aloo gobi. Well, actually I modified it some, adding chick peas and mushrooms.of course potatoes and diced tomatoes are a must and this time I dialed up the heat with spices and mixed in extra tamarind. So yummy.

oops! I did not get the chance to correct my message in the rep I sent you. Hit the wrong key and off it went! It was supposed to say simple dinners are often the tastiest.

oh wow, getting a warning about a deceptive site ahead? That sounds so unlike smart canucks, but my anti virus software has done that too, although never for sc. I feel glad for the heads up warnings, how else would we even know which sites to avoid?

Want to hear something funny? i was totally unaware of the words incite, insurrection and censure until Trump was the Prez. Thought I'd use one of those new-to-me words today in the Chat-A-Thon post.

about the early a.m. cooking, tidying etc that I do. I've always been like that during my whole working life too. No one is up at that time to bug me and I work fast...then it is heaven when I can sneak in a coffee or a tea and watch a tv show all alone. Mom's time!

Lizzie, I have been "Missing in Action" a lot since my dh passed in January. I am just reading your posts. Sorry to hear you are hurting! How did you injure yourself, might I ask? Healing certainly is a long and frustrating process!

Well that was a short 'rep'...I hit a key and it was gone.
Thank you for posting your lovely wishes for Avon and her DH; I know she appreciated each and every one and it's things like this that can keep a person going. Thank you!
