I'm making a full recipe of my Pasta e Fagioli and we are taking it to a friend's home for dinner. He was recently released from the hospital (very long stay) and is having some depression issues, so his sisters and us will do our best to try and cheer him up and put a good meal in his belly. Also made Italian bread yesterday just for this meal. His sisters will bring salad and dessert.

That's really nice of you JoeV! Take Catch Phrase or Taboo. Those are always fun and will have everyone laughing and having a good time.

I have no idea what I'm making for dinner.

lol no. no one asked for it.

#1. 2T heavy cream. 1T unsweet cocoa. I packet sf sweetner.couple drops of vanilla. mix it up & almost instantly its pudding. its not much but its just enough for me. might be 1 or 2 carbs.

#2. 1cup heavy cream. 2 packs of 'diet' swiss miss. this swiss miss has less carb then sf cocoa mix. 4serving .4carb per serving.
I make this half too. 1/2 c H.cream.one packet.mix with mixer is best.

I know I am sick of jello.

well you found the recipe lol make it. gosh I hope you use those Brussel sprouts :yum::yum: I like mine with plenty of bacon.

I broke my piggie toe about 5 times. :sad: and cussed up a storm with each one :censored:
 
Since now hubby and I are BOTH suffering from the cold from hell, tonight's meal will be leftover "Fleetchkie" from the other night. "Fleetchkie" (spelled phonetically) is a sort of Czech version of mac & cheese that was a way of using up bits & pieces of the Sunday ham, mixed into a cheese sauce & egg noodles, then baked.

I make mine with egg noodles, a cheddar-laced bechamel/cream sauce, & shreds of leftover smoked turkey saved from the Fred-Flintstone-size "Pterodactyl" smoked turkey legs we had for dinner several nights ago. I also toss him some cooked broccoli florets to add a bit of green.

Uh! Hu! .....another one..

AND..."Where are your slippers??":sorry:....

Sounds like someone in this house who refuses to wear slippers (and has like 20 pair) and always hooks her toe on something, or drops a can or heavy item on her toes.

Sorry for your pain, and hope you get it taken care of if it's red and swollen. It will need a straight stick and a wrap if it is cracked.

SO... How did you hurt your T O E ?

I never wear shoes in the house. Good question. Maybe I stubbed it. Maybe gout? It's really painful, red, & swollen. Made a foot dr appt tomorrow. I'm skeered. Wish me luck. Thanks ED.

Good luck at the doctor CC.

Breezy, I hope you and your honey get to feeling better soon.

I've been feeling a little under the weather myself so I made chicken stew with drop dumplings.

Thank you Mama & CG. Those dumplings look delish! About a year ago I went to the ER. The same foot (from the ankle down) was so swollen & painful, I couldn't get a shoe on. All they did was give me a script for antibiotics & Motrin. Didn't help a bit. This is the same foot (all swollen) & the big toe is red & very painful. That's why I'm concerned. Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread. If I could walk, I could cook.

CC... did you bump the foot?

Could be a insect bite like from a mosquito.

My girl was home from school monday and tuesday. the doctor said she had a virus. They did a quick throat culture at the office and sent out another for a 3 day test. They called today and said she has strep. She came home with a fever after school. So doctor is supposed to send a scrip order to the drug store to pick up tomorrow and she will probably stay home tomorrow and friday.

Dinner was: Meatloaf (ground beef, my AP seasoning blend, uncooked rolled oats, egg, chopped green bell pepper, chopped mushrooms, dry onion soup mix, ground dry porcini mushroom, ground pepper, regular ketchup and mustard, Tabasco hot and spicy ketchup and mustard), mashed potatoes (sour cream, sea salt, ground pepper and chives), gravy and frozen spinach.

That surely will help his spirits! Is that recipe posted here? I'd love to have it....:wink: lol
