That's good food , Barb. Protien, fat and carbs. Add a few carrot sticks -- and it is pretty perfect.

I am wondering when my dinner really will be -- DH found a book while we were on vacation. I read the first 22 pages and handed it back to DH - threatening to steal it if he didn't hide it from me. He is about 3/4 of the way thru it right now --- I don't see him putting it down with out a struggle in 15 minutes.

Also, if the guy who comes to do the electrical estimate is named Mel Katz and is in his mid to late 50s, be careful not to address your elderly cat as Old Man Cat. It'll get you a startled look. (He was really sweet, giving me all sorts of advice and telling me about his mother, who spelled her name the same way I do, and showed me pictures of his grandkids.)

He also ensured I'd remember his name by saying "You're probably too young to remember Alice..." and I was all Mel's Diner! Of course! He had a similar accents, too.

lisah, going back, if you are worried, just start weighing him once a week for a little bit. That's what they have me doing with MK because I thought he was losing weight, but it was just the kitten growing.

What are you having for dinner, b.org?

Ramen noodles cooked with Trader Joe's Harvest Hodgepodge veggies. It's a quick and easy poor man's lo mein.

We had pasta and cucumber salad.

How is that not terrorism?

My bet is that if the man who shot Dr. Tiller had converted to Islam prior to his act of homicide, it would be regarded as an act of terror.

Suggestions for the others?

Albert Finney and Brian Cox.

What are you having for dinner, b.org?

I had spaghetti with meat sauce.

How is that not terrorism?

They're discussing this on The Maddow Show right now.

I am going to roast a chicken and a squash. Am going out of town and trying to think of how to use the apples I have before they go?
