=======================
Howdy Ruth!

-> 
-> A day later than the message just before this but with a completed book
-> review.  Just a bit more writing and I'll be done with this class.
-> Spring semester starts next Thursday, back to the super busy time.
-> 
It's nice to enjoy a break, but it's good
to have things going on as well!

-> ->  HN> a beef or chicken stew. I've gotten the
-> ->  HN> freezer fairly empty so there's room for
-> ->  HN> some leftovers in there again.
-> 
-> -> Defrosting the freezer first or is it a frost free?  I've got chicken
-> -> and bulgar with veggies (onion, celery, carrots, garlic, mushrooms)
on
-> -> the stove.  When I made it the first time years ago, we had a tough
old
-> -> chicken so we called it bulgar & buzzard.  That name has sort of
stuck.
-> -> (G)  Oh, it also called for broccoli but I'm subbing in green beans
and
-> 
->  HN> Ours is frost free, and I'm glad it is!!
->  HN> finished the split pea last night for dinner
-> 
-> Our fridge freezer is frost free but the chest freezer isn't. We've got
-> to work on eating it down so that by the time warm weather comes again
-> we can defrost it.  It's chilled off again; right now (9 pm) it's 39
-> outside. At least the rain has quit, until Sunday.
->
All we have is the little freezer above the fridge.
I'm glad I don't have to defrost it!
 
->  HN> more than likely do a pot roast and chili
->  HN> and that will be supplying the freezer for
->  HN> next week.
-> 
-> Sounds good.  I pulled a bit of left over sauerbraten and red cabbage
-> out for supper the other night.  Nice and easy supper, minimal clean up.
-> We also had noodles with it.
->
I still have not figured out what I'm gonna
cook this weekend for the next week's dinners.
 
-> -> We got a flyer for this place shortly after moving here & decided to
try
-> -> it out.  There's another, similar place just outside of town but this
-> 
->  HN> Anne and I are trying (only somewhat successfully)
->  HN> to cut down on "eating out" and
->  HN> doing more to fit our diet back to what
->  HN> we need it to be for continued weight loss
->  HN> and health needs. Anne's blood sugar
->  HN> numbers have risen since the holidays
->  HN> and it's time to concentrate on those
->  HN> again.
-> 
-> You can eat out, just have to be sensible about it. My doctor called
-> about the blood work.  She said it all looked good except the LDL
-> levels.  We decided to let me try getting those down thru eating better
-> before going the meds route.  No more fried Chick-Fil-A sandwich, got to
-> go for the broiled instead. (G)
->
We can and do, but we need to get away
from just going out because I haven't 
gotten dinner already plated  by the
time Anne gets home. 
 
-> -> We bought UP but haven't watched it yet; we have enjoyed Pixar movies
-> -> off.  We've not seen Julie & Julia yet but have read about it.  My
-> -> grandmother used to enjoy watching Julia "at work".
-> 
->  HN> You'll love UP, I'm considering
->  HN> buying it for us as well. Julie and
-> 
->  We'll try to watch it before classes start again or before the work
->  piles on too high.  The trailers looked good so I'm expecting the movie
->  will be just as good.
->
Anne's back is bothering her (still) so we'll
spend the weekend taking care of that...which 
means she'll be sitting on the couch most of
the day babying the back...and watching videos
or reading. So I'll most like go get some vid's
for us to enjoy.
 
->  HN> Julia is wonderful and Meryl Streep
->  HN> does a wonderful job as Julia, so
-> 
-> From what I've read, she did quite an outstanding job.  I understand
-> that Julie has a new book out (or due out any day) but not to the same
-> quality of the first book (that started as a blog).
->
I'll keep an eye out for it!
 
->  HN> believable! I'm with your grandmother,
->  HN> I enjoyed watching Julia at work as well
->  HN> (gee why do I feel so old suddenly??(grin))
-> 
-> Biting my tongue on that one. (G)
->
Ya, just like that kid Methuselah that 
used to hang around, he called me old man too!
(grin)
chat with you soon!
