Oh, Happy Birthday all over again Catherine. You are such a Lady Gourmet, and you spoil everyone, too. A good thing to do.

When we lived on Staten Island, (ages four thru seven and a-half), we would all jump into the family station wagon and drive to Victory Blvd to Carvel's. We would choose between cones, saucers and sundaes and get curb service. We ate the ice cream and then we would laugh at almost everything one of us would say. We had brilliant times together. :)

I miss the daily scent of the sea. I wish my husband would say we could move to NYC!

I made pesto dip and veggies, cheese platter and hummus dip. I made a big pot of sauce with meatballs, sausage and some left over londen broil all in the sauce. I choose ziti to put the sauce on. I made a salad, garlic bread and a pork rib roast stuffed with garlic, Romano cheese, rosemary, parsley and a marinade of lemon, balsamic vinegar, garlic and rosemary. Yes, Theresa they did bring a Carvel cake, chocolate and vanilla. I also made some cupcakes for the little ones, we were about 17 people. I did this pretty fast though because I didn't know they were coming until about 7 pm the night before. It turned out to be very nice. Last minute is sometimes the best.

Sorry to hear that. Hormones could be the answer or there might be something going around. I'll send you good thoughts. :)

Again, had to miss it. My oldest was feeling sick again. Has been almost a weekly thing lately. Perhaps hormones?

Catherine,

What did you serve them for dinner and did they bring you birthday cake?

LadyGourmet on 'Saturday Night Chit-Chat'

LadyGourmet — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 21:39:33 +0000

Well, I just wanted to stop in and say hello. I missed talking with you all.

I just put in another DVD "New In Town" with Renee Zellweger. I love her. Anyway, we saw it at the movie theatre a few months back.

I am sorry that I am so late. I had my brothers over for dinner and they left about 30 minutes ago.

The playground and baseball and soccer fields are outside behind our condo and the kids were outside this week shouting, laughing, playing, screaming, squealing and the teacher's whistle blowing, were what I needed to hear so I am certain that spring has arrived. There is talk of more snow next week, but it'll not stop the flowers and grass and trees from blooming. At least we did have a real winter for a change.

I enjoy feeding the birds and animals especially when the ground is covered with snow or there is a drought. They are usually very appreciative. It is a relaxing thing to do. Did you have a good time?

amybyrd21 on 'Saturday Night Chit-Chat'

amybyrd21 — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 21:06:15 +0000

We went to the park today and walked around the big walking track and feed the fish and birds and then played in the park. It was nice outside today.

I know! Lately, I have been eating mostly shrimp and chicken, rarely beef or pork, Very seldom. I have been cooking lots of pastas and veggies but now need to wean myself down to veggies and fruits, because I seriously need to lose weight. Sitting around in front of the computer and not exercising has not helped. I have to give myself tough love.

amybyrd21 — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 20:54:53 +0000

I have cut way back on my meat consumption. After talking to a lot of vegans and vegetarians and watching FoodInc. If you watch that movie and read all the food recalls I have posted lately on twitter you would want to grow your own food or buy it from someone you knew.

Theresa111 on 'Saturday Night Chit-Chat'

Theresa111 — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 20:51:50 +0000

Oh thank God for that. Every time I hear the words baby back ribs I simply cringe. I wish I had never been taught to eat meat, but can I sacrifice and stop eating it? I honestly do not know. (Said sadly) :(

amybyrd21 on 'Saturday Night Chit-Chat'

amybyrd21 — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 20:48:18 +0000

This is the first time I have borrle fed and they are going to be someones pets I can not sell them for someone to eat

Theresa111 on 'Saturday Night Chit-Chat'

Theresa111 — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 20:45:29 +0000

Don't you find it hard to part with them especially after you bottle feed them?

amybyrd21 on 'Saturday Night Chit-Chat'

amybyrd21 — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 20:43:49 +0000

I am bottle feeding baby pigs every two hours but they sleep from 11 to 2 then from 230 until 7 so we are good. I have two of them. Princess Piggles and LuLu. They love me and my daughter.

Sometimes I want to bake and then I get out of the mood. I miss the professional kitchen. Too many distractions lately, but I'll be baking tomorrow for certain.

Have you heard Corrinne Bailey Rae's latest CD? It's called "The Sea". Really need to play it a few times in order to let it sink in. Excellent music.

I just fed the furry children and they are preening. Soon they'll be asleep again. Must be nice to be on permanent vacation. Meow.

Joe's on a gig tonight and when he gets home we'll watch a movie that I bought, 2012. We sw it in the theatre twice. I loved the computer graphics.

I make the bread dough and Sam plays with the kitchen ingredients. It is pretty cool. She is not afraid to try anything in the bread. We are planning on making some more next week too.

Theresa111 on 'Saturday Night Chit-Chat'

Theresa111 — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 20:27:48 +0000

That is pretty off the wall. As long as it is good then perhaps you really should add it to your recipe tab. Sounds very intriguing.

amybyrd21 on 'Saturday Night Chit-Chat'

amybyrd21 — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 20:25:52 +0000

I have a bread recipe of sorts to pass on. My friend Sam and I were playing in the bread dough last week and she made mushroom truffle salt bread. We rehydrated mushrooms and them put them in the food processer to make a paste. We then spread it and some truffle salt on the bread before we rolled it up into a loaf. It was the best bread with soup you will ever have. I was suprised. Then Friday she put chicken bullion and barbeque seasonings in the bread before we rolled it up and it tasted like bbq chicken.

Theresa111 on 'Saturday Night Chit-Chat'

Theresa111 — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 20:23:29 +0000

That's cool.

Theresa111 — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 19:31:47 +0000

What are bell fried chickpees?

I am going to order Precious from netflix but I will have to be in the correct frame of mind to watch it. The reason I didn't see it in the theatre is because I wouldn't be able to press Pause.

TVFoodandDrink on 'Saturday Night Chit-Chat'

TVFoodandDrink — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 19:25:28 +0000

we have a copy of Precious which we may or may not watch tonight. I'm thinking I'm not going to be able to handle it. Food with bell fried chickpees with chorizo and spinach - dessert is still up in the air
