We are here at walmart dc in gorgonsville, it's not going well, got here at 5:15, they are now saying we are late-appointment was at 5:15 late appointment at 3 this afternoon. They said Mark was here at the unloading at 5:15, they have it stamped for 5:31. They also had us hire a lumper at $50. It's now 8:40 and we are still here-lots of other trucks too. We came here yesterday, and they said we could only come back at appointment time.....anyway we had a nice visit with jaida and shannon and bobby and sal, had delious pizza at the restaurant...then back to the truck. We should be at moms sometime tomorrow, even though we are very close right now, they won't just let us take off today. We will have to wait and see.
I will have to make the quiche!
love
jane and mark...(mark has been really bad..mom)

Today I have a doctor appointment at 11 A.M. for a fasting blood sugar test. I am not suppposed to eat breakfast, so of course I woke up extra early today and will have to starve all morning. I will be grocery shopping afterwards and, no doubt will load up my cart with all the wrong things. Besides which, Dad has his train club dinner meeting tonite which means i can pick out something for me for dinner - got any suggestions. Has to be something I don't have to use pots and pans for - like a T.V. dinner. Maybe a Boston Market pot pie. (Can you tell I am hungry already?). I have a Netflix video here to watch this evening. T.V. has been so awful lately - I tried to watch Jon & Kate last nite and couldn't stand all the crying, screaming kids.
Have a great day everyone!

Quiche Recipe:
I pie shell - I use pre-made store bought
1 tomato thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups swiss cheese grated
4 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 zucchini sliced thinly the 'long' way
chevre cheese (goat cheese)
Layer tomatoes in bottom of pie crust, top with swiss cheese, combine egg and milk and pour over cheese. Layer top with sliced zucchini (I zapped my slices in microwave for 1 minute first.) Top with rounds of chevre and bake at 350 - my recipe said 30 minutes but it took longer - more like an hour. You'll know it's done when it doesn't "wiggle" in the middle. ENJOY!

I am happy to report my quiche was successful! While Dad only said it was okay, that is a positive comment from him, and he did eat it. It is a different kind of quiche - no bacon - and if anyone wants it let me know and I will post it here.
I am reading Comfort Me With Apples by Ruth Reichl. She is a food editor/restaurant critic and this is about her early career. Very interesting but a little dangerous to read for those of us who struggle with weight.
Watched both debates last night. The Republicans got kind of nasty with each other - lol - what a sorry lot they are. Fred Thompson just looked incredibly stupid and befuddled. Thought all the Democrats did very well except Richardson. He just is not very articulate. I am sorry that Dodd and Biden have dropped out. I think Dodd is a genuine Stateman and with Biden debating there was always humor. Oh well.
Time to get off line and get serious here.
Love,
Mom

Thanks for the menu suggestions Nancy. I am making a quiche tonite - sounds a lot like your recipe except it is in a pastry shell. We had a shouting match in front of the meat case at Wal-Mart this morning. Me: "just tell me what you want to eat and I will fix it." Dad: You know I just like plain food" Me: Well you plan a week's menu, buy it and cook it then." End of argument. I did get a pork loin - the Barefoot Contessa cuts up carrots, onions, and potatoes and rolls them in a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, then plunks a pork loin on top of the veggies and roasts it all together. Looked good when she made it. She put a marinade on top of garlic and mustard, but i'm not doing that. Don't like garlic on pork.
Have a great day everyone.

Good day to ya mates
Hey there---it's nice and quiet for the moment. Both Joey and Jamie along w/Bruti are sleeping, peace for me. Since Xmas both boys have been playing the ps 2 more because they bought new games. And it's a fight!!! Told em last night i'm taking the ps 2 and i'm gonna break it to smitherns if they can't play nicely. That shut them up for all of 20 minutes.
It's cold here, like everyone else. And, i'm sure it's colder where the Truckers are -NY? I want to walk at Mount Trashmore or the Beach front..but to collldddd for my bones. It's a nice comfy 70 inside and i'm still cold!!! The only person the cold doesn't seem to affect is Jamie - he'll go naked if i let him.
Mom - here is a suggestion for new food ideas -try looking at the meats and veggies dept at the store - they sometimes publish recipes for food ideas. That might help you. Also, online at the food channel web site. I made a new dish for the boys the other nite..it's a fluke, but the boys loved it...scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese, onions and tomotoes, and put it all on a tortilla. It's ok for me - but new for the boys and they loved it. Beef tips also - just plain and simple..let the meat cook, and then pour over wide egg noodles. The boys love this. AND---maybe you should tell Dad to do the cooking one night a week --make it a challenge for him. You both cook a new meal one time a week. That might keep Dad from his food looks and comments.
ugt oh, guess who just woke up---Jamie.
Ok, just a brief thought for my new years resolution - really didn't make any, but, i will try to keep loosing weight. Try to keep my desk up -close those files! And, lastly - find a new man??? what do you guys think---should we have a poll for that Ellen?
Ok, toodles to you guys. Keep warm and enjoy yourselves. haha
