Hi Everyone-
Welcome Tynie!
Well, just back from a great trip to Salem, Ma. for bewitching time.
For all that are not familiar with New England, Salem is know this time of year for the haunted happenings. Salem, of course being the city of the witch hysteria in the 1600's. We go every year for a extended weekend stay. It was great fun and nice weather, but cold, right on the ocean, so that wind coming off the water was cold. If anyone ever gets to visit that area, I highly recommend it, not only for the haunted happenings, but the history. It is the home of the House of Seven Gables and many other historic sights, a very typical old New England seacoast town. Very beautiful.
That being said, I haven't cooked in days lots of seafood and such, by such I mean things not necessarily great for you!
Glad to be back, I hope everyone is well and we all have a great week!
Talk to you soon
By the way everyone's dinners sound great!
Mewie that sounds awesome I am sooo interested in going!! We go to St. Augustine FL every year for the hauntings 
And the seafood up there is AMAZING!!!! You lucky thing you!!!
Glad to see ya back at the table!!!
Hey everybunny, welcome to the table.
Actually, my mom was "Pat", so Patricia just kinda stuck, but I will answer to anything.
Last night was McDonald's, gotta love the clown.
Tonight it's chicken planks, augraton(sp?) potatos, mac and cheese, and rolls.
I hope everyone is doing well, and has a quiet evening.
Patricia
Hi Everyone-
Just checking in, nothing really new to report. Pretty cold in upstate NY these days, the other night it was 39.
Well, let me see, dinners....
Monday was stuffed chicken breast with cheese and asparagus,
couscous(roasted garlic and olive oil) and a tossed salad.
Tonight
BBQ Chicken on the grill pan
mexican corn
hash browns
Made a apple pie with crumb topping today so that's dessert!
Talk to all you ladies soon, hope everything and everyone is well.
Hello everyone-
tonight's fare:
* Kentucky fried "tofu" (the recipe is from a former employee, heh-heh)
.......pan fried, not deep fried
* Oven roasted broccoli w/ garlic and steak seasoning
* Fried green tomatoes
* Brown rice
sometimes choosing menus is the most tedious of decisions to make...
Welcome to the table Tynie!
Tonight was sauted chicken chunks seasones with tuscany herbs over a buttered baked potato with italian cheese melted on top, green beans with salt, a lil' butter and cracked black pepper, homemade applesauce, italian bread and cherry pie.
My expedition is in the shop so life is difficult right now. I find out tomorrow if it's the engine or not. OH yeah, it only has 88,000 miles on it 
I can't afford a new vehicle that's large enough to haul my big ol' family around 
Crossing my fingers on this one.
I was rejected for the scholarship but I knew that just by how bad the interview went This may sound bad but it doesn't even really bother me.
This week is going to be a rough one for our culinary class. Something really bad must have happend because our chef cancelled classes this week except for Friday. Friday is the first day we open Cusine 1300, our fine dining on campus restaurant that the students run. We will have no prep work done at all and our dishes are time consuming. I'm calling the Dean of the college tomorrow to see if us 2nd year students can at least get some prep work done. This restaurant is a BIG deal on campus and the president of the college eats there everyday as well as other heads of the college, and those in the community. It's by reservation only and we have been sold out for over 3 weeks for opening day. I'm so freaked out right now. I've been calling people in class and telling them to get their at 7:45 am on Friday to help 1st year students and do more prep instead of at 11:00 when we are suppose to be there. The other Chef has been out all this year due to surgeries due to Chroan's disease. Her next one is in January. We have a retired Chef who is trying to help out but doesn't really know what all we are suppose to do. Pray for us, we are going to need it!
Allrecipes is a great site for apple dishes and so is epicurious and recipezaar.
I just peel and slice my apples and put into a baking dish. I then put in a good amount of cinnamon and sugar and stir it around. I then put some butter chunks on top and bake it. Stirring every 10-15 minutes. You can have them covered or uncovered it's up to you. Once fork tender pull them out because they will continue to carry-over cook. These are great as a side dish, for dessert or over pancakes and waffles.
If you overbake just mash them up and make cinnamon applesauce.
I'm glad to read that you are all doing well. Sorry for my long and whiney post!---melissa
Hey guys stopping by for a few minutes.
Tonight was taco salad or tacos.. Which ever they wanted..
Hey Barb WELCOME to the table. Sorry you are having such a bad day. I hope everything works out.
Melissa I will be thinking of you. I hope they will allow you 2nd year students to do the prep work.
Ok I better go bake some more cakes to get in the freezer for next week. It is going to be INSANE.
hugs hi guys =) feeling a bit under the weather so handed the husband the phone when he walked in the door and told him it was his night to * cook * and so he ordered pizzia and I went to bed .... I made a cake that I hated today was suppose to be a cute hat box but was my first time using Satin Ice and I am not so sure i really like the black it kept pulling part on me /shrugs oh well.
MK gl on the car! I am goign to drive mine to all the wheels fall off !
As for the baked apple its a whole apple cored stuffed with cinimmon brown sugar and butter ( peeled too) in a small water bath and baked at the end you glaze it with more butter and sugar and spices.
I also made a homemade pumpkin pie from the umm LEFTOVERS from our poor pathetic hack o lante ( that what he looks like ) 4 kids with pumpkin knives can do massive dmg . but I got the seeds mmmmm and pie !!! ( my best friend called it a device to eat whipped cream with lol)
hugs hope everyone had a good dinner !
Monica

Hey everyone- THIS IS FUN!

Have a good one everyone-
Hello table friends.
I have been crazy busy.(which one of us isn't) I had a baby shower on Saturday for a friend, and I made the cake. I will post the picture at a later time. I was also in charge of a members reception at church Sunday evening. My girlfriend and I did, bbq meatballs, buffalo chicken, sausage cheese balls, veggie tray and a spinach dip, a cheese and prosciutto rolled and sliced. We also had pumpkin cake and pecan tarts.(I cheated, we used already made for that many people). DD also went to 5th grade camp this week and had to be packed Sunday afternoon, so she and her daddy could have her stuff at the school while I was at the church.
I am missing my baby while shes away at camp. Today is her birthday and I am sad without her 
. She comes home tomorrow afternoon. We will celebrate her birthday on Sunday when the family is all together. That's a special day as well, because she came to us from the hospital when she was 4 days old. So I celebrate both days, the day of her birth and the first day I held my angel.
A big welcome Sparkelpop, Tynie, and BarbaraK, glad y'a decided to check us out.
Monica...I hope you are feeling better. Nice of your DH to "cook"
Melissa... any news on the car? I hope it is a cheap and easy fix. My DH's car is in the shop for the second time this week.
Kay...how have you been feeling? Hope all is well with you and yours.
Thumperbunny...glad your back. I hope you are making progress in your recovery.
Christi...how is your husband doing?
grr not all of my post are going through.. I know were upgrading but grr...
Today I had my second dr's appointment to run more test but I won't have results back for another 1-2 weeks. I hate not knowing what is wrong, or if it is major or minor...
Monday - Was class so Subway on the road
Tuesday - KFC Snakers (early dinner) and Culvers Burger (later supper)
Wednesday - Mongolian beef from local chineese restaurant
leily...I'm so sorry that you have to wait longer. Hopefully you will get some answers sooner than later. Praying for minor.
Everything seems to be calming down here. The Cuisine 1300 is not opening on Friday but more than likely on Monday. I just hope that the chef is ok and nothing to horrible happened.
My expedition isn't making that noise anymore--go figure it quit once they go to check it at the shop. I didn't get charged though and they were really helpful at the Ford dealership.
Welcome to the table BarbaraK! and Sparklepop!
Monilynn-you feeling any better?
Tynie--I think your meals sound good.
Kay--You can not go without supper! I'll come down and cook for you! nothings to good for my twin.
Ohara- girl slow down some before you crash and burn. I'm sorry your baby's gone on her b-day. I like how you celebrate both days--your such a good mom!
Leily--good luck on those test, keep us posted.
Tonight was homemade biscuits with honey and butter, scrambled eggs and various fruits with homefries. The sausage gravy didn't make it I got busy with the kids and scorched it, so I threw it out.
Getting ready to make some yogurt fruit smoothies for the kids to go with their breakfast. Have a good night everyone,
Ok tonight I decided on cheesy scalloped potates with ham and carrots.. Ok But I cheated and used boxed cheesy tators, but diced up baby carrots and some pre diced ham and stuck it in the oven while I was running around. Now trying to figure out what to make for DH when he gets off work??

Hi everyone-
Hope everyone is doing well, welcome to all the new table buddies.
Christi, sorry the stuffed chicken breast were frozen from Barber, I cheated hehe.
Last night was Tuna casserole with biscuits and fruit.
Not sure about tonight yet, just popping in quickly before taking the big old cat to the vet, not looking forward to it, he is not very user friendly at the vet at all if you know what I mean!
Talk to you all later
Dinner tonight was :
Mince pork with vegetables and glass noodles
Sauted asparagus
Rice
Christi, we save all those wonderful sounding Aussie dishes for the games in the Lounge.
Ok Barb...recipe time...sounds like one I would like ....ummm but first tell me what glass noodles are?
BarbaraK--Minced pork sounds good right now!
Mewie-how did your cat do at the vet?
Christi- You can be a triplet!
Hi everyone!!! Tonight is chili, but I make mine with cubed meat instead of ground meat. I normally use angus stew meat but I accidently thawed out boneless beef ribs instead. So that's what we are having around 4:30 today with sauted green beans with butter-cracked black pepper and a lil' salt with a lil' garlic powder. After we are done we are heading to the pumpkin farm with the kids. They are having a pre-school get together there and the whole family can go. So we will be eating there later at night also. They are providing pizza, juice, donuts and apple cider. (probably around 7:00-- so we are having 2 dinners ) I just hope it just doesn't rain during the hay ride
Everyone have a great night and eat really good too!!!!
Ohhh YUMMMM
Oh and I love hay rides....man we have been so busy that I haven't gotten any pumpkins at all...and my poor little 5 year old keeps asking when we are going to get her one!!!! 
We planned on going to a farm that has a restaurant and hayrides to the pumpkin patch but dh and I have been so busy on the weekends and even on the weekdays that we just can't get away...so it might be wal mart pumpkins and face paint this year .
And did you all hear anything about the shortage of pumpkins because of the drought?
