Hey all - it's night now.

pokepoke27 · July 2012

Aryn - I knew you were going to have to make substitutions, so I wasn't sure if you were going to try it or not. I was thinking about substituting veggies for the meats to make it more of a side dish than an entree. H doesn't like what I call one bowl meals. So if you subbed I was going to ask what you used instead of meat that would work well with it.

Beachy730 · July 2012

Good job Loops! I had to force myself to do my P90x workout today. I may have had to take a 2 hour nap before I had energy for it, and even then it was still a battle.

I get ambitious about dinner maybe once every other week. I'm better when H is home, but even then we don't do big elaborate dinners. Usually it's some type of meat baked or grilled and some veggies.

willywally5 · July 2012

Poke, that is good then that you have the living room pretty much as your turf.

Beachy, awesome on the 5K! I haven't done one for two years and really want to start up again. Did you make decent time?

Loopyseven · July 2012

I have hamburgers in the freezer, and they are on the menu for one night this week.

willywally5 · July 2012

We are not cooking tonight. Had a big meal about 3:30 so will just do sandwiches or something simple for dinner.

heb557 · July 2012

Since The chicken I took out of the freezer decided not to thaw out, we have Outback leftovers. I guess we'll have BBQ chicken tomorrow..

raes19 · July 2012

I was super lazy with dinner. I had leftover stirfry in the freezer, all I had to do was throw it in a skillet for 15 minutes and ta-da!

<div>Really? I love one bowl meals! I don't feel like I need to make all sorts of sides. Anyway, you could use rice in place of the meats and different peppers to make it more of a side. </div>

sarabear23 · July 2012

Poke, I got 2 strawberry plants, and 2 different cucumber plants. I got a Burpless hybrid, and some armenian cucumber that turns yellow and grows up to 3 feet long. Should be interesting!

HockeyFan4 · July 2012

Hey everyone! I am tired, yet I feel like I didn't do much today. I did start a project I have been meaning to do for a while. H drinks a bunch of craft brews and saves all the bottles. I am slowly photographing all the bottles and plan to make posters, that way he can get rid of the bottles (we have like 10 rubbermaids full). Then I updated my blog with the info.

Beachy730 · July 2012

Willy I finished in just under 37 minutes. I was happy with it since i hate running and didn't train at all or practice one. I will probably try and do them more often. H does like one every other week during deployment so we will probably do some together. He does it in like 26 minutes though. showoff.

Haha Chrissy, ok I totally agree. They are sooo good though so I can't even buy them and be tempted. I was going to say though if you limited yourself on chicken fingers i was going to make you try mine because they are pretty healthy.

MrsL2014 · July 2012

Oh goodness, this cake is pretty good! FI normally only cooks so when he started baking this cake i was surprised but he did a great job!

willywally5 · July 2012

Sara, sounds like you got some nice plants. Have not heard of the Armenian thing.

Dilleni glad your florist was good. Did you take pics of the centerpieces?

ArynBaker · July 2012

Beachy, I think that's great that you'll run some 5Ks with your H!

pokepoke27 · July 2012

Sounds like quite a project Hockey!

Aryn - I love them too! I also like cooking something that will feed me for more than one day. Right now I've got a ham with Apricot Ginger teryiaki sauce in the oven. That will be good for salads, sandwiches, and an add in to the large container of fried rice I have.

Sara - I love strawberry plants. They're so pretty, and so yummy!

I was lazy tonight for dinner, although it sounds fancier than it is. Garlic mashed potatoes with the ham and some corn.

sarabear23 · July 2012

Now I want chicken fingers.

<div>I'd be very happy with that time! Best ever for me is 31:10. But I'm old. I'd LOVE to get into the 20s. Maybe someday. Kind of nursing an injury and taking off some pounds right now before getting back into running. I really do enjoy it. </div>

Megbo2012 · July 2012

H made steak with a mushroom wine reduction sauce (he loves those) and we had some greens and sautéed squash and onions. It was delicious.

RebeccaB88 · July 2012

Is there another alternate universe that we don't know about, or has it really been this dead around here today?

angelstar975 · July 2012

Evening ladies! Dinner tonight was a burger... my parents took us out for dinner before they headed home. FI and I are going to stay until tomorrow. I kind of wish we weren't, but he really wants to and I almost always get my way, so we're staying.

Beachy, congrats on the 5k. I want to run one, but I'm nowhere near ready. I don't know if FI would do one or not. He used to be really big into exercising and he wants to get into it again, but he's more into weight lifting and only does enough cardio to stay in shape.

whitsy · July 2012

EFF PANTS MAN. I've worn nothing but my elastic waist comfy black pants all summer and dresses and I had to buy three new pairs today.

I bought them all at the same place: a pair of khakis, a pair of dress capris, and a brown pair. Brown pair fits beautifully. Khakis a smidge snug but manageable (still annoying though). Capris? CAN'T EVEN BUTTON THE DAMN THINGS.

Sigh.

Loopyseven · July 2012

I don't know about an alternate universe, but it's been really slow here all day.

whitsy · July 2012

And this is dinner:

Do it! Dont you just hate it when you have all these plans that you want to do then other things just get in the way. This weekend has gone by too fast, but I am fine with that because i am ready for next weekend. Cant wait to go dress shopping!

heb557 · July 2012

Whitsy- that looks delicious. Add mashed potatoes, that's my kind of meal.

raes19 · July 2012

Whit, I hate when stores don't have consistent sizes. I bought two pairs of shorts a few weeks ago at the same place. One pair fit perfectly, the other was super tight.

Hey all - it's night now.
