Quote of the day
THE MOST WASTED DAY OF ALL IS THAT ON WHICH WE HAVE NOT LAUGHED.
National Coffee Break Day
We can all relate to day without laughter. And it is much better when we Have laughed at something.
Coffee break is what all of us need and it can be anything tea, wine, soft drink or milk even, just that break is the important thing.
Are you thinking of a name for the month of February for Phyl.? Get that thinking cap on!!
My Ideas======
LOVING FEELING
GLITTER AND LACE
We had big thunder claps Early in evening and lightning that lit up the sky. Not the right season for that and it was Huge!!! The windows rattled and felt like whole house shook.
Today, Friday , I am really wanting snow!! Really really tired of these dark gloomy rainy days. Too many in a row.!!

Yesterday we ended up staying at home as it turned windy, cold and rainy. So last night Fred said today is supposed to still be a little cold but sunny so told me all the stores we’ll be going to. I asked why was it that he wanted to go to Costco and he said oh it’s because you said we could get a bigger bag of Chex mix for just a little more than we pay for it at the store. I said really??!! So that got nixed immediately as I said we definitely don’t need that! But we still will be going to Rabers (our local butcher), Schnucks, Hy-Vee, Walmart, Aldi’s and Hallmark.
I did make the stove top stuffing, chicken, green beans and gravy dish and it was really good. There’s enough left over for today.
I’m trying to think of a theme for February but so far striking out in the brain department!

I thought of something for February but it left me. Maybe it will come back after I finish off my coffee. I don't like February. That's when we actually have a week or two of real winter. Usually after the early peaches bloom.
I took one of the left over 50 mg pregablin and got 8 hours sleep and not up to potty even.
Sandy, y'all sure shop a lot. I don't like to shop.
Bill has a sonogram this afternoon so his last food was an early breakfast. He will be here after gym for rumicub but no lunch.
Coffee calling. Have a great day.

Sandy, do you mix all the ingredients together for that casserole & then bake it? It sounds very good & certainly easy to make. Maybe it's not a casserole. Don & I like one dish meals but Joe doesn't really care for his food mixed all together. Either way, sounds good.

For any of you wanting to have some snow I will be more than happy to ship some to you. Just pay shipping costs.  We got another 5+ inches starting Wednesday late and ending yesterday. So happy I got to try out my new shovel on the patio and Ozzies paths. Lucky the snow was light in weight. My driveway and sidewalk got cleaned out yesterday afternoon.
Went for coffee this morning and might go to the pharmacy and Aldi later today. Have prescriptions to pick up and need a couple things at Aldi.
My bruise is healing well. Still very pretty colors but doesn't hurt as much now. I have gotten DH cane down with the ice gripper on the bottom and am using that as needed.
Sandy your supper casserole sounds good. Not usually a fan of Stove Top stuffing but would try your mixture. Did you leave the chicken pieces whole or cut them up? I have some chicken breast cooked and just need the stove top.
Very little ambition today. I slept so good last night, maybe too good.

That recipe does sound good. I like to use the Lipton onion soup mixes -- sometimes the ranch mixes, too. The healthy request Campbell soups are low in salt -- they are good starters, too.
I really need to do laundry. Somehow the morning got away from me!

Yesterday Jessica, Jason, and Linus took me to get a haircut and then out to dinner at Red Lobster. This morning I am doing a load of laundry which is now in the dryer. It's 34 degrees and cloudy now.

I did slice the chicken breast but sometimes leave it whole and sometimes I will use the rotisserie chicken but this time it was uncooked chicken breast. I put the stove top (cooked) in bottom of dish then arrange the chicken on top, put the green beans on top of that and then pour on the gravy and cook uncovered at 375 for 45 minutes. I have also used cream of mushroom soup instead of the gravy. Fred loves both ways.
Back from the stores. Went to Aldi’s first then Schnucks and Walmart. Then finally butchers. Didn’t have to go Hy-Vee after all as got the same deals at Schnucks that Hy-Vee had. Actually crossed off everything I had on my list and this time except for frozen pizzas nothing else. Kept forgetting to look for lemon juice as Fred puts it in his water. I thought about getting Diet Pepsi if any was on sale as I’m out but it wasn’t and decided I haven’t had any in three days and really don’t miss it so will just have it when we eat out.

Sure wish you could send that snow, Betty. More rain today and I still have not brought the dumpster back in to garage. At least it is not windy but just do not feel like getting wet again. We decided on no lunch out today, but the RED LOBSTER sure sounds good. I like it for lunch as well.
When it clears for a bit I will grab that chance and get the dumpster . Maybe get mail and paper at same time. Expecting 2 movies in mail box today.
I am not a fan of Stove Top either but could almost smell your dinner!! Bet it smelled awesome.
I like chicken and fix it many different ways. Very versatile . tonight is chicken thighs rolled in Panko crumbs on cookie sheet in oven. Almost as good as the old fashioned fried chicken. I use buttermilk to dip the chicken in. then the crumbs.
Our February's are a bit iffy but then this year the whole season has been iffy, more freezing black ice than snow. We have a long winter so Lucy, you would hate it here!!! Fun to keep track of all our different states and weather patterns.

I'll take some snow only. No ice please and don't stay on the ground more than 2 days.

Shragae: I see you found the Healthy Request soups from Campbell's like I did. I use those too and they are just fine.
Sandy: Maybe you could post that recipe. Sounded good to me also. I just love easy meals 'cause sometimes Jim eats at weird hours and if I have something in the frige to warm up in the microwave, it is a plus for me. He is still in bed today at 12:30. He hasn't even had his breakfast yet....and I just finished my lunch.
I'm hoping to get to see my DD from Maryland today. She comes out usually when she knows I'll be walking Shana in the afternoon. She stays across the business driveway at my DSon and DDIL's house. I have a picture of her this morning with my two DGGD's in my rental house where they live. Maybe I'll change my avatar again to show you.
See you all later for tuck-in!

Kathie not really a recipe this is what I do. I put the stove top (cooked) in bottom of 9x9 baking dish then arrange the chicken breast or thigh (I have used raw or rotisserie) on top, you can cut up the chicken or not, put the green beans on top of that and then pour on the gravy and cook uncovered at 375 for 45 minutes. I have also used cream of mushroom soup instead of the gravy. That’s about all I do. Just something I thought up, sorry no recipe.
Here’s something I thought of for a theme in February. Not the best idea so hope someone has something better.
Give hugs and chocolates month

Hi!
I haven't taken a month in a while, because I'm so tech-ignorant. But I am willing to start it one month, if you will bear with me.
Can you smell our chili? That's dinner this evening, with spaghetti noodles under it. We'll turn the heat up to get it piping hot before we serve it. We love it, and when I fix it, I always think of Ironside. Do you remember Raymond Burr in that role? He ate canned chili all the time. After dinner, we'll watch NCIS on Netflix, and then recorded game shows. Maybe Master Minds to keep us humble.
I hope you all have a good evening.
Diane
