[Kim G]

Will be our next monthly get together. Ruby Tuesdays on Arrowood.

Alright ladies start planning now for it....we want everyone there.

We had some newbies there today...we want more and want the others to return. PLEASE....

[Kathy]

It's on the calendar...okay, I'll get up now and put it on...I'm going!

Had a nice lunch today, it was so nice to meet the new ladies. Ya'll hop on and introduce yourselves! :wave:

[wavydaby]

I will be working Ren Faire this year, so no Oct and maybe no Nov meetings for me. BUT!! I am gonna buy a hot pirate Wench outfit!!

[Lovemylpband]

I'll be there, are we coming in costumes? French Maid anyone..lol

[Mrs Sabre]

I'm not going to be able to make it on Oct. 14th after all. My mom has me driving her to TN to visit my younger brother and nephew that weekend. I'll be out of town the entire next week, through the weekend of Oct. 21st.

I'm going to miss you all! Maybe we can swing a dinner or lunch during the week in between?

[Kim G]

Oh Karen I hate it make it....I know you wouldn't miss it unless you have to. We will miss you but know you will be back with us next month....

[Kim G]

Ok thought I would push this back up towards the top since it's only 2 weeks away....hope to see most of you there. We will miss the ones that can't make and hope to see some new faces.

[Kathy]

What a big day for me! I *think* I'm going to see Wynonna at Ovens that night. Depends on ticket prices! Oh no...the budget is tight this month! But I'll see you all at Ruby's the 14th.

No Karen, but me, Kim, Dianne, and who else?

WHERE THE HECK IS ANGIE?!!!! I'm on a mission now.:spy:

[jttaurus]

Have a good lunch.

I'm scheduled for an 8am spinal injection this morning so I will not be able to make it. I'm still having a heck of a time with my back.

Now, get this, the pain is zapping into my muscles in my legs down to my toes, like little hot spots or something. I need to speak with my dr about this. I have 3 years worth of history now.

Plus, I made an appointment for a chiropractor and was'nt able to go until payday. I"ll have to put that out a few weeks.

ENjoy your lunch for me. I'll be at the T Castle recovering from my shot.

[Kim G]

Ok it's offical I will not be there. We have to go to the mountains to get the pumpkin as this is the only weekend we do it before Halloween. So I will miss ya'll this month. So sad....I will be in Salt Lake City the first weekend in Nov. So hopefully I can get w/ ya'll in Nov.

[Hondagal]

I'll be there but you guys gotta help me pick something from the menu, I will be going to pureed foods on the 13th WHOO HOOO

[Kathy]

Don't worry Honda, we gotcha covered. So, no Jen, no Kim. SIGH. I'll miss you both! I have to scroll back to get a head count...are the rest of us coming?

[Dragonwillow]

the white chicken chili....it is awesome. you could mash up any big chunks but it is really soft. They also have french onion soup lite (which is without the bread) Of course there is always cheesecake, but it is rather counter productive. LOL

mmmmm white chicken chilli. mmmmm. i love that stuff. I tried to make my own, but it came out tasting like horse butt.
Im on liquids till thursday. now i want the chili.

[Mrs Sabre]

OK Jill, I have to ask ... how do you know what horse butt tastes like? Inquiring minds want to know! :) Besides, I bet it tastes a whole lot like beef? ;)

[Kim G]

hehe Wavy cracks me up...I have a white chicken chili I make it's really yummy. I will try and post it tonight for you. Not sure what horse butt taste like but I don't think it taste the same. haha

Don't know about Horse...

But I've made OxTail soup.

P

[wavydaby]

mmmm ox tail soup.
Ok for the serious answer on horse butt,
"I am soo deeply offended that anyone would eat horses, that i love, anything that i think tastes nasty would taste like a horse, cause, to eat a horse, would cause me to forcefully expell my stomach contents"

The real answer.. that chili was soooooooooo nasty, I wanted to say tasted like horse S#!T, but, I knew I would get the question... "how do you know?"

One 6qt crock pot FULL of white chicken chili horse $#!T is what it was.
:)
When its my time of month... i get reallly stupid sarcastic.
No one should talk to me..
Im EEEEEVILLLL

Hey...

I've got some great chilli recipes that are really healthy.

Here are some recommendations for your regular chilli recipes to make them healthier...


Use 1/2 low sodium vegetable broth in place of some of the tomato sauce you use. Adds lots of flavor and vitamins.

Use ground turkey in place of beef. Don't get those premade rolls of ground turkey in the frozen section. Get some turkey breast and have it ground, or do it at home in the food processor. You can also chop it up corsely (in small pieces) and use it that way.

Beef heart, ground, is extremely healthy. In fact, the heart meat is one of the healthiest parts of the cow... all the benefits of organ meat, without the cholesterol, and muscle meat, without the fat. If you can get it from your butcher, highly recommended. Don't buy it whole yourself, cleaning it (cutting away the valves and arteries and fat) is a lot of work. make your butcher do it. Mine used to have very few folks who bought it, so he would sell it to me for $1 a lb, if I bought in bulk. I'd freeze it.

Black soy beans. NOT black beans, or regular soy beans, but BLACK SOY BEANS. very high in protein and fiber, practically no usable carbs, and they cook up tasty and tender! No one will know the difference, and you have healthier beans.

Add a little cilantro... really perks up the flavor, so much so, you can use less salt.

Serving: in a bowl over lowcarb noodles (Dreamfields). Or serve with grated low-fat cheddar, chopped scallions, and a dollop of low-fat sour cream on top. Add some chopped jalapenos (fresh, not the pickled ones in a jar) for a little kick. or, all of the above.

Thanks for the ideas JP... I say we have JP come for a cooking class one day. Bring the whole family...it would be fun hanging out with us NC girls.

[Lovemylpband]

I'm really looking forward to Saturday girls...So is there still no word on Angie? I will go to the place where she trained tomorrow and ask. This is getting scary.

That would be fun. I love cooking for entertaining. Made spaghetti and meatballs for 40 when I was up at the Star Trek New Voyages film shoot in upstate NY last month.

It's the Italian in me... it comes out in the kitchen... I can't help it.
