=======================
Hey Ruth!
-> 
-> -> Back again after supper and clean up.  We had a multi grain/legume,
-> -> mixed vegtable, chicken stock with meat, diced tomato soup with drop
-> -> biscuits and a small green salad.  Good rib sticking food.
-> 
->  HN> MMmmm! This past week I made a very
->  HN> hearty mushroom soup. This coming week
->  HN> I'll make a split pea with ham and maybe
->  HN> a beef or chicken stew. I've gotten the
->  HN> freezer fairly empty so there's room for
->  HN> some leftovers in there again.
-> 
-> Defrosting the freezer first or is it a frost free?  I've got chicken
-> and bulgar with veggies (onion, celery, carrots, garlic, mushrooms) on
-> the stove.  When I made it the first time years ago, we had a tough old
-> chicken so we called it bulgar & buzzard.  That name has sort of stuck.
-> (G)  Oh, it also called for broccoli but I'm subbing in green beans and
-> tossing in the rest of the chick peas that didn't make it into the
-> hummus.
->
Ours is frost free, and I'm glad it is!!
finished the split pea last night for dinner
and boy o boy was it good! This week I'll
more than likely do a pot roast and chili
and that will be supplying the freezer for
next week.
 
-> -> hummus
-> -> tomorrow.  It's -> going to be a staple for us.
-> 
-> ->  -> hn> We use it as  a veggie dip, and it takes to hn> additional
-> ->  flavors very well, peppadews, hn> green or ripe olives, roasted red
-> 
-> -> Steve added some chipotle to what he had for lunch and liked it.  I
had
-> -> to get some blood work done this morning, then we went further into
-> 
-> -> After leaving that, we were headed home and saw someone holding a
sign
-> -> for lamb gyros/$3.99 at our favorite place--so we stopped in and got
a
-> -> couple to go.  That, with some home made hummus was lunch.
-> 
->  HN> Sounds like a good lunch
->  HN> to me!!
-> 
-> We got a flyer for this place shortly after moving here & decided to try
-> it out.  There's another, similar place just outside of town but this
-> one is just a bit better.
->
Anne and I are trying (only somewhat successfully)
to cut down on "eating out" and 
doing more to fit our diet back to what 
we need it to be for continued weight loss
and health needs. Anne's blood sugar 
numbers have risen since the holidays
and it's time to concentrate on those 
again.
-> 
-> -> On the flight over and back from Israel (on a 777) we had individual
-> -> entertainment systems built into the seat backs.  Quite a few movies
-> -> were offered so Steve watched "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs".  I
-> -> was watching something else so when we finished, he told me it was
good.
-> -> We had enough time that I watched it a bit later.  Cute; we bought it
-> -> after we got home.
-> 
->  HN> Have you seen Julie and Julia yet? Very good!
->  HN> and we also liked UP a computer animated
->  HN> movie as well...very well done!!
-> 
-> We bought UP but haven't watched it yet; we have enjoyed Pixar movies
-> over the years.  We own most all of them from 2004 or so on & were
-> watcing "Finding Nemo" with Rachel & David while she was in labor with
-> Robert.  Steve didn't get to finish it until quite some time later; he
-> left the labor room when things got going hard & we turned the movie
-> off.  We've not seen Julie & Julia yet but have read about it.  My
-> grandmother used to enjoy watching Julia "at work".
-> 
You'll love UP, I'm considering 
buying it for us as well. Julie and
Julia is wonderful and Meryl Streep 
does a wonderful job as Julia, so 
believable! I'm with your grandmother,
I enjoyed watching Julia at work as well
(gee why do I feel so old suddenly??(grin))
chat with you soon!
