Even after guests took leftovers, we were left with what I consider perfect amount - enough to get us through the weekend without much cooking (basically we will need to cook more veggies), but little enough that we will have zero or close to zero Monday.
'Shells'
Spike's Bitches 43: Who am I kidding? I love to brag.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Also, sj, I will smite them for you. I should shop with you sometime. It would be bad for the other people, but good for you.
Ha! We should definitely do that. TCG gets so aggravated with people, but he is usually also amused by hearing my constantly mutter under my breath, "I will not kill anyone today."
My mother always makes way too much food. So, everyone leaves with a lot of leftovers. I'm not expecting to have to cook until Monday, and we might have to freeze some of it so that it doesn't go bad before we can get to all of it.
Ok, so apparently an office call to a nurse practitioner in small town mid-America costs $145 nowadays. This makes me shudder in fear of the expense of ever needing to see an actual doctor. What's an office call to a GP in a major metropolitan area running now - $300?
Varies a lot Geographically. Olympia has abut 190,000 for the greater Olympia area has NPs you can see for about 50 bucks. Sometimes small town professionals are very expensive, because they don't have much competition.
I think I've seen A Christmas Carol enough times now.
My sister Jeannie made some wonderful stuffing this year, out of whole grain bread. It was very good, and rich. It may have been Brownberry 12 grain Bread.
Poor ND. And it's not even December yet.
But that reminds me, it turns out my aunt and uncle never saw Scrooged, so I will have to rent that for them this weekend.
I design a production of the show each year. I think this is year 5 that I've been on the show, and year 29 this show has been running at this theatre.
Cool, Laga. Drew, if you're desperate for stuffing, just get me a box of Trader Joe's, some dried cranberries, and some celery. Or I can today if you won't be able to before they close.
I spoke to my sister Jeannie, and here is her impromptu recipe for very good stuffing.
1 Loaf Brownberry 100% whole wheat bread, cut in chunks
- Italian seasoning
- Garlic powder
- Lawry's Seasoned salt.
All mixed together and glopped into a pot of chicken stock and water.
Scientifically precise? not so much. Good? You betcha.
