I had one of my favourite lunches today. Leftover bits of smoked ham, potato and egg salad, tossed salad with raspberry vinaigrette dressing and lemon meringue pie (what else?) for dessert. So much texture in that lunch. Ok, I do enjoy my food.
On the gossip side, K told me that his friend didn't join the basketball team because his girlfriend didn't want him to. (They're 13 years old). My girlfriend whose husband was smitten with Bell's Palsy about 9 months ago reports that his facial paralysis is 90% gone. It appears the nerves often take that amount of time to heal. She found a great nerve specialist from a magazine of all places, and they're really happy with him. It's great news for them as he can go back to his normal life, pretty much.
I'm receiving all these great sale flyers (30 - 50% off) for the coming weekend. All you need is money to shop. Our timing is off, L and K got a bunch of clothes this past weekend that they're already wearing. A friend and her husband are coming over for pizza and a basement inspection tomorrow evening. (Unfortunately no charge, Barbara!) It's funny, pizza sounds easy, then I was at the grocery store this morning picking up dessert, salad ingredients and drinks, and thinking about appetizers.
Today I'm making a pot roast I got for 50% off as it had to be used today.

13 years old and he is under the thumb? That is not a good sign for things to come......
Oh you are celebrating your renovations - thats great! Yes pizza is only easy when you have it straight without the other courses thrown in. Enjoy yourself!!
mmmmm pie :o)
That is disturbing about the girlfriend thing. It's so hard at that age I hope that the parents step in for his sake.
Have a great weekend
Peer pressure is so hard, isn't it? My girl is a bit of a rebel (like her father!) but balances it out with common sense.
How was the pot roast? Just about every blog I have visited today has talked about food. I'm hungry for dinner and it's not even 9:00 AM yet!
Your salad sounds yummy too.
Lilly, Mom, and Jpra, you'll hate to hear that the kid is really good at basketball.
Jpra, the pot roast came out pretty good. I used celery, carrots and potatoes with it.
