ma~~~~ to kristin's students and school with a dose of serenity and peace
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.
I need Trader Joes help-
We like their orange chicken (frozen) which is yummy and low fat. It doesn't come with vegetables, but our TJs often has already cut fresh stir fry vegetables, or frozen ones.
Cabernet pot roast, plus one of their ready made salad or veggie dishes?
Hmmm, do they have frozen mashed potatoes? That are decent?
ETA: this is for dinner, and we're looking for a rounded/full meal type thing.
They have frozen stir-fry mixes
we love the Chow Mein - it has five veggies, chicken, noodles (yeah, I don't know why it isn't lo mein) and is teh yum.
Kristen, much ~ma to your student and her family.

Oooh, this, too -- the orange chicken is really good.

I haven't seen that, but they have some in the deli section out here that are pretty decent. There are a lot of frozen veggie dishes though, or you can get several different kinds of veggies (squash, sweet potatoes, fingerling potatos, green beans, etc) in ready to microwave bags.
oh and the frozen sweet potato fries. nom.
I had a post to Kristin but I think it got ated. Sending all positive, miracle thoughts to your student and her family. What an awful situation.
All my ~ma to you, your non-student, and all concerned, Kristin.
Kristin, so much miracle~ma to that whole family. And coping~ma to everyone at your school.

wrt dogs and kids. When my sister & hubby got a stray (dobbie/Ger Shep mutt we think), she was clearly skittish. I met the dog 3rd ish day they had her, while at a park. And this 6ish year old kid came RUNNING up doing that "ooo doggie" rebel yell thing. Dan, bless his heart, grabbed the dog by the collar/scruff of neck and held her firm behind him while pulling a Heisman on the kid and all but face planted her into the blanket. The parents finally caught up and were like "huh" and kinda heard the clue phone ringing and said "ask the man if you can pet the cute dog" and Dan was like "We just rescued her from the pound. She bites. I wouldn't advise it". The body language could not have been clearer, yet they still wanted to ask to pet. That family is waiting for a Darwin Award, I tell you what.
