Glad you all enjoyed the chicken! 

And the spaghetti hit the spot tonight.

Ol' Man Winter can't make up his mind.  Just above freezing right now with a light mist falling.  Might make things interesting by morning.

This having to work at work is a real drag.....Evil [}:)]

Yum. Thanks for the spagetti CW and thanks to Dan for the great dinner idea. I wil take a large portion of that garlic bread, I'm thinking about half a loafDinner [dinner].Guess I'd better have a bowl of salad too and ice cream for dessert.

I"ll make some sticky buns and cinnamon roles to go with breakfeast and lunch tomorrow. See you in the kitchen CW!

Good Tuesday morning, everyone!  Would you believe it?!?!  I actually woke up at 5 a.m. this morning.  But I'm still kind of sleepy.  Must be due to the fact that we're getting light rain outside, with fog to boot!!  That's going to make for an interesting Produce Tuesday this morning.  

Looks like Dan picked a winner, requesting the spaghetti w/meatballs last night.  There wasn't even a crumb left last night.  

Emma, thanks for making the cinnamon rolls and sticky buns!  I've set out a couple pans of each on the warmer bar, and they sure do smell delicious this morning!  And to go with them are:  turkey bacon, sausage, sausage gravy w/biscuits, oatmeal, toast, hash browns, and there is cantaloupe chunks in the cooler.

Everyone have a good morning, and take care.  I'll see you all later this morning, after I finish up with Tuesday Produce.

Those rolls and buns sure are good!  Thanks Emma!  CW as usual your accessories for those buns are top notch and delicious.  I'll take a big plate b/c I have to work longer today, so I'll need my strength.  Back later!  Happy first day of spring everyone!

...A beautiful day it is here in Muncie for the first day of Spring....!

Had my John Deere out for service man this morning scheduled to stop by and do some maintenance work but he had a family emergency and now it's postponed until next week....Looking at the yard and if we continue to have sunshine and mod. temps....I will need to start the mowing routine by sometime next week...Guess that's a good thing.

First, I want to wish Mrs. Kohjoe a very Happy B-Day [bday]!  Hope it is a very good one!!

All we got at Produce today was cabbage and potatoes.   So, we will have boiled cabbage with roast, taters and carrots for lunch, along with green beans, corned beef, cole slaw and for dessert, there is birthday cake and ice cream.

Supper is now on the warmer bar.  Along with the roast, taters& carrots, I've got some more cabbage, w/corned beef, and cornbread, and some mixed veggies to go with the corned beef and cabbage.

There's also plenty of birthday cake and ice cream for dessert tonight.

That roast is even better with corned beef!  I could eat corned beef by the ton!  I couldn't get into the Rochelle Cam a minute ago...got some kind of error message.  Anyone else get one of those?

A very  happy birthday to Mrs. Joekoh! Happy B-Day [bday]

Well, the first potential severe thunderstorms of the season are coming up for the Omaha area. The threat will be late tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow evening. It isn't a huge risk, but some large hail or strong wind gusts are possible. There is even the potential for an isolated tornado, but I think that is rather unlikely. Anyhow, I'm pleased since I always look forward to the first storms of the season.

Duff, take care and get over that migraine!!  While I don't usually suffer from those,

I understand from a very close family member that they are something other people  don't want, and are quite uncomfortable to have.  GET BETTER!!!!!!

I'm glad you like it! Cool [8D]

Also, I hope you get over that migraine soon. I've had kind of a headache today too, but not as bad as a migraine.

$^~^Got new earrings for a special occasion this Saturday.  I am going to get a visit from the Diner Weather Wizard!  Sir Willy will be visiting our fair city and we will have a get together in the afternoon.  Going to do some train watching, too!  Perfect.  Except........it may rain on our parade a little.  But rain rather than snow (Tree?) is much nicer....

See Joe was in early.  Let CW sleep in a little.  Warm, misty and a good day to just stay in bed and read a good book!

I brought in my list to retype and will leave the Ferromex sightings here for Emma if she comes in.  We have seen 3109, 3140, 4518 and 4643. 

And....I went outside to find Millie and The Driver yesterday and almost stepped on a junior Mudchicken.  I kept running in front of his "camera" wanting to see what he was looking at, but he kept shooing me away!  Our campus has been surveyed every year by future Mudchickens, so there shouldn't be a square inch that hasn't been looked at and yet it never changes in looks.  Obviously they are looking for buried gold and just haven't found it yet!  Hmmmm....?

Off to smell the flowers - all the wildflowers that Mutt and CW planted look so nice.  And the honeysuckle smells so good - (do you know cats like the smell of a good scent?)

Good Wednesday morning to everyone!  It's a nice 56 degrees here in Louisville this morning.  Going to get up to about 74-76 degrees for a high today. 

Joe, thank you for getting breakfast ready this morning!  Sounds like a very good one this morning.  

Duff, hope your headache is better, if not totally gone this morning!  Know all about those stupid headaches!  I suffer from migraines every once in awhile, and they are no fun, are they?  

Mookie, love your new earrings!!  I did "sleep in" a little bit this morning:  it was 6:10 when I woke up.  Although, I feel like I could go back to sleep! Had a little trouble with my right knee yesterday.  It was stiff as could be, all day yesterday, and was swollen last night.  May try staying off it today, as much as possible.  Sounds like you're going to have a very good weekend, Mookie!  Don't know about reading a good book, although, I have enough to read right now; but need to finish up a special project I'm working on.  Crocheting a baby afghan for someone, and need to finish it up.  

Anyone have any requests for lunch today?  If so, please let me know.  Otherwise, I'll think of something on the light side for the lunch menu.

Everyone have a good day, and I'll be back in a little while.  Or maybe I'll join Mookie out in the garden, and smell the beautiful flowers, and have a little girl chat.

CW, not a special request, per se, but I'd like to have grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch today.

Mookie - I like the new earrings! They're perfect for the occasion! Cool [8D]

The severe weather threat for this evening is still on track with large hail the main threat. Strong winds are a secondary threat and there could be a tornado or two. Overall, not a huge event, but good enough for me.
