The Kitchen Table

Good Morning KT'ers

11 years ago

I used to post here years ago as Ladybug1948 and Lunchlady1948. I got off for awhile a year or so ago to plan my retirement and figure out what I wanted to do, for the first time since I was 18 years old I had no kids in my house~~~just my sweetheart and me and all this wonderful free time.

I have changed my name to YogaLady1948 because I am living a much more slow paced peaceful life and loving it.

I have come back here to enjoy and join in on some fun postings.

Namaste~~

I'm gonna welcome you back YL1948 but surely a more qualified welcoming committee will come behind me. :)

Our three punk kids have also left the house so we have something in common. To be "child free" in you're 40's is something! I hope the next chapter is everything you've hoped it would be!

Odds are we'll start swinging and living lives of complete debauchery.....

Pork Diane (Campbell's) 4 boneless pork chops, 3/4-inch thick 1 tbsp. vegetable oil 1 small sweet onion, chopped (about 1/4 cup) 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/4 cup brandy 1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell's Condensed Tomato Soup (Regular, Healthy Request or 25% Less Sodium) 1/2 cup Swanson Chicken Stock 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp. coarse-grain mustard 1 Season the pork as desired. 2 Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until it's well browned on both sides. Remove the pork from the skillet. 3 Add the onion to the skillet and cook until it's tender. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. 4 Stir the brandy in the skillet and heat to a boil. Cook and stir until the liquid is reduced by half. Stir in the soup, stock, Worcestershire sauce and mustard and heat to a boil. Return the pork to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes or until the pork is cooked through. TIP: Instead of the brandy, you may increase the stock to 3/4 cup.

Glender, go to the camera dept. at Walmart - they make universal camera charger cords, and maybe they will have one for your camera.

Good morning, KT'ers--we're supposed to get rain here, too, Sue. Hope that cow doesn't eat all your crops. When we lived in the country, I woke up in the middle of the night to strange noises outside. It was a cow and it'd eaten every one of our beautiful azaleas! One really large bush died. When we turned the lights on the cow trotted down the long drive and went on down the road. I got a new server for the dining room Friday. There just isn't room on the table for all the food on holidays and it's hard to pass hot casseroles, so I'm more than happy to have it. It has two big drawers so I need to move the placemats and napkins from the closet in the guest room. I think I'll make a couple batches of muffins this afternoon. I should do some laundry, but tomorrow is another day.

:) 60 Doesn't seem as old as I once thought, YL! We started at the same age 19 & 20, but we pretty much pulled the trigger in rapid succession.. so, now Holly has her masters, Liz is a para-pro and Sam... well, he's dangerously close to becoming a frog like his father.

OAH - Who's cued Pandora to "Lou Reed & The Velvet Underground" since about 9:00 this morning. There's probably one glass of Pinot left in the bottle? Maybe not.

Welcome back YL! I do remember you. Ours have been gone a year now. Dd moved out 10 years ago and DS moved out the second time just over a year ago. I think it's permanent this time! Enjoy your retirement.

OnHoliday, you didn't kill it, it's just slow right now. The others will chime in soon.
