Morning all
CW-soup sounds so good right now. I've got this darn sinus cold I can't kick. Sucks to be me today.

Here, try eating some wasabi. Guaranteed to clear your sinuses in three seconds flat. [;)]

Thanks for the tip, but what is wasabi?

Hot Root!

[Mookie]

v<^v> : ~ - been one of those days at work!

Keep losing things - like my cell phone charger, my appointment cards, my grocery list,
couldn't find the driver for awhile (basement) and my mind!!

Too much stress is hard on fur - so will hit the hammock with a bowl of tuna casserole - thanx CW!

BC - [(-D] - that tickles!

Tomorrow no better, so just lay out some food and a blanket and I will do the rest!

Mook

(snow coming Thursday, but high 50's today!)

N O T in this diner your don't.


This is a respectable family dinning establishment we do not carry any alcoholic drinks. Frankly this is down home country cooking at its finest. I think you will have to go to some fancy smancy, high fluting, big city, way over priced, waiter only, nose in the air, restaurant for your tofu.


Now, the Fritos pie I made didn't have lettuce or tomatos. The cheese sauce was just generic rotele (now that does have some tomatoes) and generic Velvetta. Throw your Fritos on a plate or in a bowl, pour on some chili and top it off with the cheese dip. The best tasting, artery clogging, meal you can have. [;)] [:p] [:D] Add a few chili cheese hot dogs and what a meal. We just use the same chili and cheese dip for the hot dogs, best chili cheese dogs you will ever have, simple and filling and very good.


I am on a crusade today. Hopefully I can share it with you later. It might be another controversy in the making but you know how I am. If it involves the youth I stand up for them. This issue will be the little guys against the www. Wish me luck.


Joe

Tell Matt thanks for the candy harts, that is so cute. [:o)] [:I] [^]

[blhanel]

Good luck on that crusade, Jim.

I went home briefly at lunch, and now I have no desire to do much more here at work, as it's sunny and 58 degrees. So, I think I'll return home and clean up the leftover fall leaves in the yard- or maybe even imitate Carl and get my bicycle out!

[JoeKoh]

mookie
have had those days too at work.we are supposed to have rain then changing to snow and colder for the weekend yuk! but spring is just about month away.Jim dont know where you are going but good luck.
stay safe
joe

[cherokee woman]

Yes, Jim, good luck on your crusade!

Mookie, glad to see you made it in, and you're very welcome for the tuna!

Supper tonight in the Diner will be: fried pork chops with mashed taters &
gravy, green peas with carrots. Have some biscuits made up and in the oven.
They'll be ready in about 15 minutes.

Dessert tonight: No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal cookies. Made a double batch
of them for the Diner patrons and any guests we might have come in tonight.

Jim
Hope the crusade goes well and good luck.

Sorry I'm late, any leftovers in the fridge? Never got to the bicycle, my wife shanghaied me into being chauffeur for her and a visiting employee from one of our company's satellite locations down in Pomona. She's up here for two weeks, although she doesn't like to travel and left three kids back in Pomona, so we took her over to our favorite mall and are planning to give her a more extensive tour of the area this weekend.

[jeaton]

CW -Extra potatos in stock? I make a killer potato salad and on special occasions will make the mayo myself. Olive oil helps offset the artery clogging egg yolks.

60+ in the Rockford area today. Almost set up the lap top to meet clients on the picnic table under the tree in the back of the parking lot. Didn't have a long enough extension cord for the printer.

This warm air hits Philly and Sarah will have to put the wheels back on the snow board.

With the bike trip to work today, I'm now over 100 miles for the year. My thermometer at work read 59 today; they were giving the official O'Hare temperature as 56 at the same time.

It's still 41, at nearly 1:00 a.m. But I've had enough for today. I'll probably not be back here before tomorrow evening--I mean, this evening. I hope everyone was made happy by his or her valentines--I know I was!

[rvos1979]

Good evening/morning everyone.....

Was 53 here in the Mad City this afternoon, almost didn't need the jacket on my way to work, had the window rolled down in the truck. Too bad it's supposed to be 13 for a high on Friday.[V][V] Thursday could get ugly around here, predicting 5 to 9 inches of snow, sleet, and freezing rain, then the winds pick up. Could be an interesting day at work Thursday.

Speaking of work, been a little slow at work the past few days, yesterday the roof crew on one of the lines found out that the wrong top rail had been installed on a trailer. Of course, this happened AFTER they put the roof on[banghead][banghead]. Only took them about five hours or so (by my clock) to change out the top rails and roof (read: expensive mistake!!). That Murphy fellow is one he** of a guy. I guess it was first shift's mistake.

Found some leftovers, CW, and cleaned up the dishes they were on. Hopefully be back in here around 1PM. See everyone later.

Randy

[cherokee woman]

Good morning, everyone. Looks like I'm all by my lonesome in here, this
morning. That's all right, though. Got the CD on, listening to John Denver's
"Daddy, What's a Train?" That's a really good CD of train songs.

Coffee is on, juice is made, and I'm making up a batch of buttermilk biscuits.
We'll have the usual breakfast items: turkey bacon, sausage, gravy, and there's
some oatmeal cooking on the stove. That'll be ready in about 2 minutes. Then,
I'll start scrambling the eggs.

Sure hope everyone had a good Valentine's Day yesterday. Carl, congrats on
reaching the over 100 miles on your bike.

Randy, thank you for cleaning up the rest of the dishes.

[Mookie]

===skid=== I'm here - little late, but was otherwise occupied - Was having a conversation with a bunny in the backyard. He had just finished sewing on new buttons on his coat and was putting on his earmuffs. We are preparing for some snow...ugh I hate that word. Bought some new snow boots on sale UUUU - like em?

MMM - scribbled eggs - well done CW and some milk!

Thank you!

See Mutt plugged in the blanket - well, you know where to find me!

Mookie.... Ah.......

With two feet of snow methinks Sarah will need pontoons for that snow board...

Adrianspeeder is in the Philly area, too (at school) - probably out plowing.

I've got 42 right now, and it's only 7:30. Not sure what the forecast is, but it can only go up for now, although there is freezing rain in our not-too-distant future.

Warm, cold, warm, cold. Mother Nature - would you make up your mind?

[JoeKoh]

morning
yep we're here had to make some changes in the schedule and matt can still go learn at pre-school. mother nature is throwing some changes and mamma gets to go on another shift next week. hope she shows them how to do things right.
stay safe

[Modelcar]

...Bare ground in Muncie....Snow all melted....Wasn't that much to start with but now it's completely bare grass we look out to....If season is anyway as it shoud be I will be thinking about mowing in about a month and a half....But first I must jerk the wheels off the John Deere and have new tires installed....Hope I get that accomplished and not put it off and get behind the mowing task as that time rolls around.....41.4 degrees here now at 8:40 am....Sun is trying to break through but we have some light clouds.

[cherokee woman]

At 11:21, our temp is right about 50 now. Can't remember the high projected for
today; but tomorrow is supposed to be 64, 65 degrees. Will be a great afternoon
to work in the backyard.

Lunch special today will be barbeque sandwiches w/your choice of dill or sweet
pickle slices and potato chips.

Supper menu is still in the "I can't really think of anything stage", except for making
BLTs and baked beans, with fried taters and cole slaw. What does
everyone think about that? Or does anyone have another suggestion? I'm open
to suggestions today.

[Mookie]

CW - you are working too hard - let them order in Chinese! Take the evening off! I am!

[switch7frg]

CW ; How about some pork roast w/gravy & dumplins to start. then add some cooked carrots & peas w/ pearl onions for sides. Don't forget the horseradish dollop for the pork . dessert; rhubarb pie washed down w/ coffee.

Friends;
Please forgive me for the error of double post , either my eyes are too close together
or the mouse stuck.>>>>

[locomutt]

Mookie,
Yeah, I plugged the blanket in for you this morning,hope
it was toasty by the time you crawled under it.

Had to make an appearance today,before you sent out
a "search party". Kinda like Chad was several days ago,
these stupid sinus things just won't let go,and I haven't
felt like doing much at all.[xx(]

[Mookie]

Mutt - sounds like someone is doing the cooking for us, so take the rest of the day off with CW. I was right after that pork roast until I got to the horseradish! Pulled me up short!

Gah!

[rvos1979]

Afternoon everyone....

Revised forcast now shows 9 to 15 inches of snow for our area, with blizzardlike conditions forcast for tomorrow. Should be very interesting driving around tomorrow, at least the fuel tank on the truck is filled up and everything else is in proper working order.

Forcast for people south and east of us calls for ice... I feel sorry for them.

See everyone later.

Randy

[cherokee woman]

Randy, how far south and east of you is that ice called for?!?! Sincerely
hope it doesn't come this far south!!

Mookie, I'll take you suggestion for tonight's dinner. There will be beef fried
rice for the mudchicken; and chicken fried rice for the rest of us.

Switch8frg, I'll fix the pork roast for tomorrow's lunch and supper.

Were suppose to get 1 to 5 in the Chicago area.

We are? I know we're under a winter weather advisory here for this evening and all day tomorrow, but it sounded to me like the possibility of sleet was the biggest cause for concern. Whatever we get, I'm glad I don't have to go out until near the end of the advisory (DuPage County's along the southern edge of it, so I'm not too concerned).

This weekend's supposed to get very cold for us--highs in the 20s, lows in the single digits. Temperatures below normal--something we haven't had yet in 2006!

Meanwhile, I broke out the bike again for my meeting at work today; added another 20 or so miles.

And Cher, I liked your original menu ideas for dinner! Comfort foods, in potentially uncomfortable weather.

[techguy57]

Carl,
The Chicago weathermen are throwing darts at the board when formulating the forecast again. I've heard everything from 6" to sleet and snow mix to nothing at all becausse it'll go north ( and I live out in the far NW burbs too). I'll still stick with the age old method of sticking my head out the door. Hasn't failed me yet.[:D]
