Tuesday night dinners

Tuesday night dinners catch up (this will be pretty simple because few were good enough to share the recipe)

This was sautéed Brussels sprouts and sausage sprinkled with parmesan cheese and a new microwave potato recipe. The potatoes were blah and the combination of sausage and Brussels sprouts weren't good. Not a keeper.

Chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, gravy and peas and mushrooms. This is not a new recipe but a oldie and it was good with the exception that the steak was tough as nails!

This is a pork stew cooked in the crock pot and the only good part was the mozzarella cheese on top.
However I made a small batch of corn bread and it was good and I have often used cream cheese with chives to stuff celery but this time I also added some small slices of cranberries and it was really good.

Getting older has it's perks

Got this in the mail last week and you are to go online and fill out the questioner and after doing that it stated that if you were 70 or over you were automatically excused!!!! Yahoo I am 70 1/2 .

Remembering

Taken on April 20,1944 this is a picture of my Mom and Dad before he shipped overseas.
Thank you to all veterans for your service.

Wed. night dinning place

On Wed. nights we alternate between two places....

The name of this place is Heroes and it is owned by a three time purple heart Vietnam veteran. This is his parking place. It is pretty much a sports bar but with a big heart.

When you enter one of the first things you will see is this big cardboard with signatures of veterans, fireman, policeman and etc.

Had the opportunity of seeing a veteran in a wheelchair sign this board.

Mike's metals

                                                      This is Mike when serving.

This is our favorite place to sit and when it is nice out they open the windows like this.

  A table for those not forgotten

A special place with great pizza

Our other Wed. night place is

Chili's

Our view from the bar

Love the spareribs here......

Tidbits

That little strawberry hooked to you pincushion

… is an emery board for your needles. Filled with tough emery sand—a combination of aluminum and iron oxides—the strawberry is historically a tool for polishing, sharpening, and removing rust from your pins and needles.

Tues. night dinner

Cheese-Topped Cod
2 cod filets

Look what I found..

The cooler weather brought these and they smell divine...

Weather here has been in the 70's, our reward for putting up with the hot summer.

Recipe

Threw this together this morning for breakfast and it was really good so thought I would share...

I took one flour tortilla out of the freezer (I keep them in a freezer bag and separate them with foil) and heated it in the micro till barely warm.
I fried a egg and broke the yoke so there would be no runny. I put shredded cheese on the tortilla added one slice of ham from the deli and put the egg cut in slices on top of the ham and added more cheese. Folded it over and cooked it in the skillet until lightly browned on both sides. Yum...

Hospital

Thought I would share some pictures of a hospital volunteer day..

Heavy traffic driving in

Pretty vegetation along the way...

Selling hay here and they are covered because of the rains...

Headed into the hospital are these amazing grasses...

Banner Thunderbird Hospital is a level 1 adult trauma Center.

Main entrance

 

Looking to the left of entering..

The elevator doors open on the second floor and there is our desk

My view sitting at the desk

One area of the waiting room

The ICU doors we have to open for visitors, on the west side is the CVICU doors

You can tell I sit on the left because there is my yarn:) (actually my partner didn't come today) so I was on my own. This week I had a opportunity to help a person who was blind and waiting on a loved one having surgery.

Recipe

This is a nifty little recipe for a quick and easy lunch or dinner and can keep the ingredients on hand.
1 frozen package of macaroni and cheese (I used Michelinas)
1 can tuna
Handful of frozen peas
Cook the mac and cheese in the microwave but about half way through stir in drained tuna and peas and continue to heat till all is hot. I added more shredded cheese:)

This made enough for me to have two lunches. Could also do the same but use chicken and frozen corn.

Tues. night dinner

Curly Noodle Dinner
1 pound hamburger
1- 14 1/2 ounce can stewed tomatoes
1- 8 ounce can whole kernel corn

Break up the noodles  and stir into beef mixture. Bring to boiling then reduce heat and cover and simmer bout  10 min. or until the noodles are tender.


Served with summer slaw from the deli and garlic bread.

Places

I think most of you know that hubby and I eat out every night except for Tues. I cook on Tuesday and most of my friends think this is funny but it is the way it is. I thought I would share with you some of our eating places so here is the first one.
Links neighborhood grill This is a  country club like place on a golf course.

Turning onto the parkway is the pretty clock with the flowers in it.

Pretty rock work at the entrance

Looking out on the golf course

Nothing fancy inside and simple food but good service and this is the view on your out...

After dark the tree has up lights.
This is our Thursday night place.
