Good morning kid! You have the cutest pets! Hope you’re having a superb Sunday. Enjoy the football!

I’m off to dim sum with my older sister and her beau, to hear about their Thanksgiving trip to the Midwest. They had turkey with their former yoga teacher who moved out there.

Baby Freddie Mercury!

“The Mercury Phoenix Trust has been gifted this framed print of baby Freddie by his mother Jer Bulsara to raise money for the charity.”

Happy Friday kid!

7:47 AM Phil
Starting it off right.

7:47 AM Sassy
Wow! I wanna put my fork in the screen

7:47 AM Phil
A little shopping this morning, wheeee!
It’s healthy too. Will see how it tastes

7:48 AM Sassy
I’m off to Urgent Care. Managed to get cellulitis in my right breast.

Hope it tastes grrreat!

7:49 AM Phil
Good luck, get better soon

7:50 AM Sassy
Sis sent me a wish list last night and I did half my xmas shopping.

I usually pop some antibiotics and am fine.

They marked me up. Can’t really see but it’s bright red.
Sending me to the ER. Whee

9:37 AM Phil
Nice! Good luck!

9:38 AM Sassy
Wish you could be touching there instead of them!

9:39 AM Phil
Me too!

9:41 AM Sassy
They usually just give me antibiotics…not sure why all this ER excitement
They’re sending me for an ultrasound. Bleh

10:08 AM Phil
Hope it’s nothing

10:10 AM Sassy
Ultrasound lady (who doesn’t usually say anything) said it looks fine

10:18 AM Sassy
Phew

10:38 AM Sassy
Giving me antibiotics and sending me home. Duh.
So glad I wasted hours and $100 co-pay to get the same thing the clinic usually does. NOT.

11:58 AM Phil
Fabulous! Good to check it out though.

12:27 PM Sassy
Finally home. Phew
Did the casserole taste okay?

1:23 PM Phil
It was delicious!

1:24 PM Sassy
Hooray!

1:37 PM Sassy

8:32 AM Phil
Nice here! 43! We were up at 4 and moving!

8:33 AM Sassy
I was up until 2 am making up my Christmas wish list.

8:35 PM Phil
So you have reason to sleep in and it’s cold.
Pull the covers up. You need a hot body to snuggle up to

8:41 AM Sassy

8:42 AM Sassy
Exactly! You are smart in addition to being sexy!

Wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family! And my niece did my hair two ways!

The beautiful centerpiece!
I brought three pies from Star Market – pumpkin, 
pecan and apple/berry.
A friend made a chocolate cake!
Another friend made cookies!
My niece made the whipped cream!
My “taste of everything” dessert plate!

9:18 PM Sassy
Hope you had a special day!

How was dinner?
I saw another breakfast idea today – Tater tot breakfast bake

It has bacon so it had to be good, right?

9:43 PM Phil
Fabulous! 

Had a great day!

Breakfast Casserole

November 21, 2018 Wednesday

8:02 AM Sassy
Good morning kid! Have a wicked good Wednesday!
I’m working at home this morning then going to hunt for pie!

8:35 AM Phil
Good morning! Enjoy the day and hope you find a good pie. I’m searching for breakfast casserole recipes and maybe a pie recipe. I’m going to bake an apple and pumpkin pie. Off to the beach in the AM!

12:43 PM Sassy
Here’s the only breakfast casserole I’ve ever had – a coworker brought it to work and I asked for her recipe! I did have a bacon cheese quiche once, with bacon slices criss-crossed on top that looked spectacular.

Breakfast Sausage and Egg Soufflé

Ingredients:
1 ½ lbs “hot” bulk sausage
9 eggs, slightly beaten
3 cups milk
1 ½ tsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
3 slices white bread, cut into ¼ inch cubes
1 ½ cups grated sharp cheese

Grease a 2 X 9 X 2 inch pan.
Brown crumbled sausage in skillet. Drain well on paper towels.
In a bowl – mix eggs, milk, mustard, & salt. Stir in bread, sausage,
& cheese.

Pour into prepared pan and refrigerate overnight.

Bake uncovered at 350 F for 1 hour.
Serves 10…makes large servings.

12:44 PM Sassy
I just braved the grocery store to get a pie and picked up Dunkin for Hubby – he’s got a bad cold. The payroll is done… not sure what to do next?!

2:38 PM Phil
That recipe sounds good, I’ll give it a try.
On the way home. Gotta vacuum and mop before we leave.

2:39 PM Sassy
I’m considering toys and a nap.

2:50 PM Phil
That sounds like much more fun!

2:53 PM Sassy
Nap is winning…

2:54 PM Phil
Sweet dreams

New disposal

November 20, 2018 Tuesday

8:12 AM Sassy
Good morning! Have a terrific Tuesday!

10:19 AM Phil
Good Morning! You too!
When are the parties? Good luck!

Singing in church again. They broke me down and I’m singing with the choir. Been a long time since I did that.

10:31 AM Sassy
The Holiday Party (sort of an open house for the entire staff and everyone we’ve worked with this Year) is three weeks away.  It has drinks with appetizers and sweets.

The Holiday Lunch is the following week and just our staff. We go out for that one, to an Indian buffet this year.

My boss is already in sabotage mood… doing that thing where she wants something different but does not say what, just criticizes last year’s plan. *sigh Spending two meetings with her today and hoping for some clues.

10:33 AM Sassy
SO happy to hear you are singing in public again! I used to adore listening to you in church. God blessed you with a beautiful voice so it’s wonderful you can use it in worship. And we know choir folks are THE BEST!

12:15 PM Sassy
Our garbage disposal just croaked!  Hubby went to Home Depot to buy a new one, and they can send someone to install it in… TEN DAYS!  No no no.  I just posted to Facebook asking friends for advice.  Getting lots of recommendations so hope to find someone soon who will come right away!  Pleas think good thoughts.

6:17 PM Sassy
I have a new disposal installed! The internet came to my rescue.  A friend in FL recommended I try the Home Advisor site with pre-screened tradespeople. I put up a request and a handyman texted within 15 minutes, was here within 3 hours and was done in an hour!  I am so happy not to have to spend the entire holiday weekend without my kitchen sink!
