Sunday Dinner, April 11, 2010

Can you tell that I'm craving fresh Summer garden veggies? Not that it's doing me much good, and won't until June or so.

Anyway, on to the Sunday Dinner news. Once again, I'm not cooking Sunday Dinner this week, and I'm not sure what I'll be eating for the meal.

My sisters Ducky and Cecil bought a couple of smoked pork Boston butts, but as of this past Wednesday night they weren't sure if they wanted those for Sunday Dinner or not.

If they decide that's what they want for Sunday Dinner, we'll come back here to my apartment after church, slice the smoked pork and heat it in the oven, and serve it on buns with barbecue sauce, slaw and whatever else we come up with.

Another option is that we may end up eating out somewhere, in which case your guess is as good as mine what we'll have for and where we'll have Sunday Dinner this week.

Now that my plans are clear as mud, what are your plans for Sunday Dinner this week? Share your plans/menu in the comments if you'd like.I made beef stir fry with oriental vegetables and sai-fun, also called cellophane noodles, for our supper tonight, and it was pretty tasty if I do say so myself. I've been on a Chinese food kick lately, making some form of stir fry at least once a week, either with noodles or rice.

Of course next week I may be on another food kick. You never can tell about me. ;o)My ladies group from church is sponsoring a bake sale at church on Sunday. I volunteered to make some brownies and some homemade pimiento cheese. As you can see, it's not strictly a bake sale, but I didn't know what else to call it. A food sale? Hmm....no, that doesn't sound right either.

Anyhow, I made my pimiento cheese already but I still have to make my brownies in a bit. I bought 2 mixes that make a 13x9 pan full but I'm going to bake them in 8x8 pans instead, so the 2 mixes will yield 4 of the 8x8 pans. Hopefully our "bake" sale will do well.I asked Jessica to take some pics of me and Emmy on Thursday. We went for a car ride and ended up at a park to let Emmy run off some energy. It was a beautiful sunny Spring day here.

This was the best of about a half dozen pics. Emmy was squirming and ready to go play some more. She didn't have much patience with a Gramma that wanted some pictures; it was interfering with her play time. ;o)

I had Emmy most of the day on Friday. I say "most of the day" because Jessica managed to get off work early and picked Emmy up around 3 pm rather than the usual 7 pm or so.

Emmy has been puny but seems to be feeling better. She's been running fever, has an upset tummy occasionally and has been complaining of a headache, tummy ache and body aches. She's also had a runny nose off and on, but that may be a separate issue. She doesn't feel bad all the time either.

We don't know if she's cutting jaw teeth or has a tummy bug or what's going on, but none of it has been bad enough to warrant going to the doctor, although if she gets bad enough Jessica will certainly take her. I spoke with Jessica earlier today and she said Emmy has been fine today and was playing with her cousins at Jason's Mom's, her other Gramma's.I should get busy making those brownies unless I want to be up half the night.

Y'all have a blessed and wonderful Lord's Day. May God meet all your needs, and may you have enough to share, dear family and friends.
