Nice to "see" everyone here!! :) The recipes sound YUM! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/sunday-cafe-16-jan-11/page/2#post-609972 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 18:00:19 +0000 JoanfromNewJersey 609972@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Mmmm, haven't made a chicken pot pie in a while. I often cheat and use the pre-made crust, but it still comes out pretty good. I like to make chicken and veggies topped with Bisquick biscuits. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/sunday-cafe-16-jan-11/page/2#post-609949 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 17:12:39 +0000 KapitiKats in NZ 609949@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Deb, I am about to eat my lunch and go out for a walk and enjoy the sunshine before the bad weather hits us later today or tomorrow. Expecting high winds and rain but at least it will be warm rain.<br /> I also need to go out for a walk before I do something I regret to my manager. I asked for his opinion on something I am working on as I didn't feel entirely comfortable making a decision on my own. I got back an email saying "I think you need to decide". I was so livid! Of course I was going to decide - I just wanted some support and feedback!!! He is so unhelpful lately - but VERY helpful to his old female friend who he just employed. It is really getting to several of us here in the office. I have decided to just 'work around' him and get support from elsewhere. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/sunday-cafe-16-jan-11/page/2#post-609942 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 16:40:56 +0000 AV 609942@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>12P, I do love that coleslaw!..... it really is yummy!</p> <p>the Ck Pot Pie - seems like I do it different every time.....<br /> .... my basic ingredients in the filling are:</p> <p>loads of chicken (I stewed a whole chicken and de-boned it)<br /> then blanched some cut up carrots, onions and frozen peas in the broth<br /> chopped up 3 hard boiled eggs<br /> salt/pepper/thyme/garlic powder/paprika<br /> for the 'sauce', I make a rue of flour, butter and milk, fresh nutmeg, salt/pepper..... I add (yes, fontina or parm - but just a little for flavor) I make it thick, then 'thin' it a little with 1/2 cup white wine when it's cooled...</p> <p>mix that all together with the chicken and veggies..... pour into a greased casserole dish, and top with either:</p> <p>crust - homemade using the bisquick receipe on the box, any pie crust you like (don't make it too sweet) or even the refridgerated pie crust in the dairy case...... all work really well! Really just depends on if you like a 'biscut' type of top, or a thinner pie crust type of top..... today, and more often than not, I use the refridgerated pie crusts, cause that's what Dau likes best....</p> <p>rememeber to put slits in the top, and bake for about an hour at 350, until crust is nicely browned....... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/sunday-cafe-16-jan-11/page/2#post-609941 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 16:37:37 +0000 AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew 609941@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p><a href="http://icanhascheezburger.com/2011/01/16/funny-pictures-i-like-yu/" rel="nofollow">http://icanhascheezburger.com/2011/01/16/funny-pictures-i-like-yu/</a></p> <p><a href="http://icanhascheezburger.com/2011/01/16/funny-pictures-videos-cat-demands-dinner/" rel="nofollow">http://icanhascheezburger.com/2011/01/16/funny-pictures-videos-cat-demands-dinner/</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/sunday-cafe-16-jan-11/page/2#post-609940 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 16:32:54 +0000 AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew 609940@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>So guess that NZ is or will be getting some good winds, at least the South Island will.

The weekend just flew by! Yesterday after work, XBF and I went to the auto parts store and got some boots for my sparkplugs and got those installed and my car runs better again - but not perfect. I think we may need to replace the coils, too. I'm going to join AAA before I start driving it to work. I get so anxious driving it and worrying about getting stranded somewhere. XBF tells me i'm silly and assures me it'll be fine, but i'll feel better, I hope, with AAA on my side.</p> <p>After fixing the car, I had about an hour to get ready for swim friend's son's wedding. GG had hockey and his supervisor wanted him to spend the first two periods there because the commissioners were in town. The wedding started at seven and he finally showed up at almost 9:30. However, the wedding was running really late because the rabbi couldn't come till after sunrise because of jewish customs. So GG made it just in time for dinner - he loves to eat! He has never met my swim friend and her family, but everyone got along famously which was nice. GG and I are the same age, but my friends are all older, almost the age of his parents, so I wondered how that would go. Swim friend texted me today and said they all liked him, so tjat's nice.<br /> By the way, this whole wedding was being taped for the show "four weddings" on TLC. I'll have to find out when it airs. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/sunday-cafe-16-jan-11/page/2#post-609937 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 16:27:01 +0000 AV 609937@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>... MC, I will definitely send you a steaming plateful thru the wormhole when it's done!..... it's got to bake an hour now!..... making it from scratch just takes time.... it's one of those meals I like to do on a lazy Sunday, when I have loads of time to do stuff, then come back to it, then do the next step, then come back to it, etc. etc. </p> <p>..... too bad you're not closer to where Deb is flying in to make a meet up...... at least you can give her 'warm dressing advise'....... </p> <p>.... oh, and did I mention that Dau made her '4-ingredient key lime icebox pie' for dessert??..... she used to make that for her daddy when she was little, and the other day, she said "Mom, I think I'll make Dad a pie tonite".... needless to say, we're on the third pie of the week! LOL.... lucky for us, it's low fat! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/sunday-cafe-16-jan-11/page/2#post-609935 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 16:22:13 +0000 AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew 609935@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>AV, I know, told my daughter she didn't need to go all out and that I would be happy enough to stay inside. Luckily I have my UGG's just in case, cuddlduds because I really hate wearing a coat and gloves, I don't wear hats....so hope thats enough. It will be nice to see them though, Becca is big enough now to tell anyone what is exactely on her mind :)</p> <p>MC, lol and its expected to be 78F here in Tucson most of next week! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/sunday-cafe-16-jan-11#post-609934 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 16:20:46 +0000 mollycat71 609934@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh boy, I am getting my butt thru the wormhole to AV's!

I absolutely hate doorbells, don't care what they sound like, they make my teeth hurt listening to them. </p> <p>MC, yes ma'am I fly into Midway on Tuesday morning and leave Fri morning, its my granddaughter's 2nd birthday Tuesday. Just hope I feel better while there, and the anticipated high of 26F is not exciting at all....its why I live in the southwest, I can see snow on tv, calendars, movies, etc. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/sunday-cafe-16-jan-11#post-609914 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 14:47:54 +0000 CSBM 609914@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>and i will have to wrute a long letter to my landlord explaining the situation... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/sunday-cafe-16-jan-11#post-609913 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 14:45:58 +0000 CSBM 609913@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>i finally got to sleep this morning at 10 am and just woke up. boy, i certaintly had the "what ifs" last night.</p> <p>i am going to try and sell some of my posessions on craigslist. i thought i might be able to sell my tv, my couch, dining room table and chairs, my solid steel kitchen prep table, my stereo, a dresser, and a lane oak/cedar blanket chest. i also have a king sized hand stitched quilt, never used, that my parents gave me several years ago. they won it in a raffle and passed it on to me. i have never used it because it doesn't fit my decor style...</p> <p>i will really start looking at the several temp agencies in town. will peruse craigslist.com more. i will also to a place that was a long term part time job for me several years ago. i may have to go back to feeding dry food to the cats... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/sunday-cafe-16-jan-11#post-609912 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 14:37:16 +0000 JoanfromNewJersey 609912@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi everyone! I've done a whole lot of not much today. Football has been on, and when I napped on the couch, Leela napped with me, yay! Looks like Chicago won - now on to the next game. The Jets have been a crummy-to-medicocre team for so long it would be nice to see them advance. NYC Mayor predicts them to win the superbowl - way to jinx 'em Mikey! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/sunday-cafe-16-jan-11#post-609911 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 14:35:46 +0000 mollycat71 609911@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I am soooooo bummed Chicago won! I am an Indianapolis Colts fan to the end! Boo! Yes, it is snowing to beat the band around here. Cold too. 1-3 inches today, 3 inches tonight, 2 inches tomorrow and 3-5 inches tomorrow night! UGH! What did I miss??? AZ and Chicago??!??!?!?! Something I NEED to know??? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/sunday-cafe-16-jan-11#post-609900 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 13:50:34 +0000 KapitiKats in NZ 609900@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I have tended to support the teams that are in the cities where<br /> MrKK's family live/lived or cities I have been to. Hence over the years I have supported San Francisco in football and baseball, Seattle in football and baseball and Indianapolis in football (and because the only game I have been to was a Colts one.) After being in New Orleans I have become a Saints supporter. And I also was a Green Bay supporter but I can't remember why this was - think they were the underdogs at the time. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/sunday-cafe-16-jan-11#post-609899 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 13:46:26 +0000 Kilroy 609899@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>KK, a long time ago when I lived in Seattle (we're talking 15 years at least) I went to a Seahawks season opener with my then boyfriend. The Seahawks weren't very good back then, and they got walloped. I still remember teasingly asking him, "And you like this game why exactly?". Still, it's good to see them doing better in recent years. Growing up in New England we always cheered for the Patriots (well, my dad cheered, I couldn't have cared less) :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/sunday-cafe-16-jan-11#post-609896 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 13:18:45 +0000 AV 609896@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>... I'm sorry, KK!..... Wow, Chicago just scored again!.... they are really running away with this game...... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/sunday-cafe-16-jan-11#post-609894 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 13:14:49 +0000 KapitiKats in NZ 609894@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Rats - I'm a Seahawks supporter due to my in-laws living in WA. I hope the Jets beat the Patriots too, time their reign came to an end. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/sunday-cafe-16-jan-11#post-609893 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 13:12:22 +0000 AV 609893@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MM, the toasted noodles and almonds make it sooooooooo good!....... you'll love it!</p> <p>..... KK, Chicago is playing Seatle..... the winner plays Green Bay for a spot in the Super bowl.......</p> <p>..... the winner of the Patriots and the Jets (this afternoon's game).... plays the Steelers for the other spot.........</p> <p>..... we're getting down to the wire!...... looks like Chicago is a shoo in..... 21 to zip...... don't think Seatle has a prayer...... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/sunday-cafe-16-jan-11#post-609891 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 12:58:35 +0000 morrissmom 609891@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Just read the Mexican slaw one, too--both sound yummy--may have to take one of those to our Super Bowl party at work. Now to decide which one.;) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/sunday-cafe-16-jan-11#post-609890 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 12:53:01 +0000 morrissmom 609890@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>AV, that slaw sounds yummy--I have to try that one. Never thought of using Ramen for that, but it sounds good and crunchy. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/sunday-cafe-16-jan-11#post-609889 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 12:45:35 +0000 KapitiKats in NZ 609889@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Not sure if MS has done the ribs yet, AV. So where are things at in the football - what teams are left? MrKK and I have lost track and we only get 2 games a week screened here on ESPN and the last we saw was the Colts going down to the Jets. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/sunday-cafe-16-jan-11#post-609887 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 12:34:22 +0000 AV 609887@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>...... I'm sure there are lots of similar versions out there - I just love the crunch that the ramen noodles and almonds give it!......</p> <p>..... I'll probably make it next weekend for the parade celebration - Mr. AV usually cooks brats and dogs on the porch for whomever stops bye...... typically a steady stream of family and friends all day....... might have to make my special baked beans and lemon squares too........</p> <p>.... hey, do you know if MS tried to make her ribs yet?...... the coleslaw would be awesome with ribs! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/sunday-cafe-16-jan-11#post-609886 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 12:27:29 +0000 KapitiKats in NZ 609886@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>AV, that recipe is almost identical to one I got from my mother-in-law. I had the coleslaw at a family reunion in Sth Dakota several years ago and it was so delicious. I made it at New Year but used a store bought Asian citrus dressing that was perfect for it. I also tend to leave out the spring onions as I can't stand them. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/sunday-cafe-16-jan-11#post-609885 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 12:20:39 +0000 AV 609885@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>oh Deb, it doesn't look like it will get warmer any time soon :(</p> <p>..... next weekend will be cold here, 59 predicted for Saturday, which is the first of the three Gasparilla parades.... the children's parade (non-alcoholic and family friendly).... the following weekend is the 'regular' huge Marti Gras like parade - anywhere from 300,000 to 600,000 people descend on our little stretch of Bayshore...... it's bedlam!.... the week after that is the night parade (ranchy, drunken brawl)... thank goodness that parade is moved to Ybor....... </p>
