Wheres Toto Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) I'm making corned beef and cabbage for dinner. It's my once a year contribution to making dinner. Dh cooks the rest of the time. It's smelling really good. ETA: A corned beef and cabbage booya. Edited March 20, 2022 by Wheres Toto 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 This week should be a normal week. I am covering one class tomorrow for a teacher who had a big tournament for one of her kids this weekend, but it's going to be super easy. I'm going to have them build with Knex (it's a STEM class). Everything else should be normal. Except the doors did come in so work will start on the house again on Wednesday. But there are no extra meetings, no appointments, nothing unusual except the living room (hopefully) getting finished this week. Then it's on to the bedroom floors (which should only take 1 day each), then the kitchen can't be done until May when the cabinets come in. But with the living room done, we can put most stuff back where it belongs. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Bean Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Nothing happening here except 5yr old boy got smacked in the head with a door and now has a huge bruise on his forehead. SIGH! Life with 3 teens and a 5yr old is always exciting. I need to come up with code names for my kids. 5yr old isn't staying 5 forever. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The restaurant we ate at last night has a bunch of positive reviews for their gluten free, dairy free, etc options. For an Italian restaurant, they are evidently particularly good with the gluten free. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 We had Kroger pizza for dinner. The things from dh's office have been delivered. 4 boxes and about 20 giant framed plaques and things. He had several pipes and a tiny guitar signed by a bunch of people and some fancy wood cigar boxes and a bunch of little Simpsons characters. And books and sets of CDs and a set of cassettes of JRR Tolkien reading The Lord of the Rings, and Weird Al Yankovics complete video collection, lol. I'll go through it more later. Book club was nice. The lady hosting today gave everyone a little dragonfly charm - it represents strength and courage and was also the code name of the main character in the book (Churchhill's Secret Messenger). Gotta get the kids to wrap things up and get ready for bed. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 3/19/2022 at 7:12 PM, Slache said: Encanto, Red Panda, Free Guy (all Disney) and Adam Project on Netflix. You could also watch Supernatural on Netflix and just not leave your room for 3 months. We never did understand the hype about Encanto. We actually liked Vivo better. Turning Red, and now Adam Project, are on our list to watch. 6 hours ago, Wheres Toto said: I can't believe so many of you have vegetables coming up already. We aren't even close to being able to plant. We are barely at the point of starting seeds. Our last frost date isn´t until May 15 or so, so no planting here either. We´ll need to do it in large pots though, since this isn´t our yard. We haven´t figured out what we´ll be planting yet. Probably not corn...

Red Robin puts little plastic "flags" on their gluten free burgers. I find that to be helpful. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a restaurant here that actually has 2 different color plates (separate gf plating area) & advises patrons to only accept plates in the correct color. It's one of the most trusted restaurants in the celiac community. Edited March 21, 2022 by 73349 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I'm alive. I have tomato seedlings up. They moved to the windowsills today, and another two trays will probably join those tomorrow. Tomatoes sprout so fast! The peppers are taking their sweet time, despite the light box. If I can clear out tomatoes and one box of the salad greens, I'll have room for some of my herbs that I need to start inside. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(If I'm understanding what tables you are referring to.) Both dh (non gluten free) and I had tummy troubles last night. I do think that it was the Chinese buffet but it could be something other than gluten. I don't know that I will willingly go there again! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
