Morning all!

Dogs are fed, and I'm watching planes go over, heading to DIA.

I'll pack back up my stuff, but I'll be staying another night, as my sister won't get home till around 10:00 pm, IF the flight is on time.

That's about it from here.

Hey Penny!

Just back from ortho surgeon. I can be brace free. Unless I’m in a group of people or a crowded place….

We’re in the Carolina Cabana room, where it’s 71 degrees, having some coffee.

Yesterday I used a new recipe for beef stew. It was time consuming prep but it was awesome. We have plenty leftover but now it doesn’t seem like a beef stew day. More like burgers and dogs in the grill

Good morning Penny and Linda.

Between periods of the Hurricanes game last night they had a pre-taped interview with the captain of the team. He's in his 20th year in the NHL, the last 14 with the Hurricanes. The reporter asked him what his earliest memory was of being with the Hurricanes. He said "getting traded on my wedding day".

YAY!!!!!

Prepping is my favorite part of cooking! I've made beef stew the same way for years.

YUP!!!!

I don't prep. The closest to prepping was chicken and dumplings. Wet Bisqick was needed. Oh, and pancakes along with French toast were "prepped."

Good, cause we're not.

You mean I can't prep doomsday chicken and dumplings?

And I can't go to Costco and get a year's worth of mayo or tomato sauce at a time?

Nope. Chicken would be upset.

.... you've never seen my sister's basement...

Just so you all know, it's the last day of the eyedrops in my left eye! (and yes, Mr. SPH - I have sort of mastered the pull lid down technique).
