Hey! Guess what? GrumpyGirl (or wannabegrumpy as she uses

[ScreamingMeemie]

to sneak around on here) has a level 1 driver's license! Just in time for me to puncture my foot!

So, I'm going to have her drive me to Kroger...only, I'm too lazy to get up and go...

...I need your help. What shall we have for dinner on a hot, HUMID evening? I don't want to grill even though it's not officially an ozone action day. We've had enough salad to choke a cow... Anyone? Anyone?


BTW, my daughter is an awesome student driver and a wonderful addition to the DU community...when she sneaks in here while at PassingFair's house. :)

1. I say go for the grill. I said what the heck and burned my face off

grilling a few sausages. OMG, it was hot even touching the grill(before I turned it on). LoL.

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. Ha! oops..I mean, I'm sorry...

:( :hi:

Perhaps I can just use the sidewalk. :)

[Nickster]

9. It would probably cook quicker! Oh and thanks for the sympathy:-)

[LeftyMom]

2. Pasta Salad?

There's a really great recipe of elad's in the veg group that I recommend or you could try blending (or whizzing in a food processor if you have one) some sundried tomatoes packed in olive oil with a drained can of black olives and a splash of olive oil and then using them to coat some penne or another shaped pasta. It's good with a little french bread.

[ScreamingMeemie]

5. That sounds really good!

I'm on my way over there then. Thanks LeftyMom... Yummy!


:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

3. Watermelon.

And ice cream for dessert! :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. Hey!

I like the way you think!!! :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

8. Well, that's what I had today!

Oh, and cold lasagna from the deli. :9

[KyndCulture]

7. A fruit salad.....

Some broiled fish or chicken with cilantro, lime and ginger for both, some raw veggies with dip and Fresh raspberrie smoothies for dessert

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. Wanna come and make it for us?

Mmmmmmmm. :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. Careful she doesn't flash any truck drivers on the way

In case it runs in the family or somethin'. :evilgrin:









:hide:

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. I tell her to do as I say...not as I do...

That is proper parenting...isn't it? ;) :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. Yeah...

But a mother-daughter flash would be so cool.




Well... some mothers...

[bigwillq]

12. Good for Wannbe...

:bounce:

This is such an exciting time for her! :) Exciting for her and a combination of excitement and worry for you! She'll do fine! :)

I just ordered a grilled cheese and fries from this place nearby work.
I really don't know what to suggest for your dinner. Something cool. Ice cream and a cold beer for dessert sounds really good!

Enjoy! :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. I was thinking maybe what LeftyMom posted...

but I'm being so lazy we may just go to Culver's :) :hug:

She is really doing quite well with the driving thing...I'm hardly nervous at all... really. ;)

[bigwillq]

15. Pasta Salad is a good idea.

Beer and ice cream don't sound too bad though! :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. Too true!

I've been doing this thing with vanilla ice cream. I put it in a bowl and liberally dust it with Hershey's chocolate milk powder. We used to it it with malt, but this is just as yummy! I think they call it a "dusty road" at the ice cream parlor. My poor tummy.

Beer is always a good chaser! :)

[bigwillq]

21. Beer is always good, period!

:beer:

I can't wait for my food to arrive! :)

[RevCheesehead]

16. That's the best damned idea yet!!

I may do it myself - even though the nearest Culver's is 20 miles away. :9

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. I've been dying for a Culver's root beer since the root beer thread

last night. I was so happily stunned when they built one right down the street from us. :)

[bigwillq]

20. What is Culver's?

:shrug:

[KyndCulture]

22. Culver's Frozen Custard ButterBurgers™

mmmmm mmmmm mmmm

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. Culver's is a wonderful fast foodish kind of restaurant...

with the best custard in the world. They are home of the "butter burger" which is exactly what it sounds like. :) And they have the best root beer on earth as well.

they are now sweeping the Midwest and I hope they come somewhere near you soon! If not, if you visit, I'll take you there. :D

[bigwillq]

24. Sounds like it's a good place.

That burger sounds delicious! :bounce:

I hope they make it East.

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. They seem to be slowly moving all over...

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

26. simply put: heaven.

O8) All food is freshly prepared, and the burgers use fresh, not frozen, beef. It's perfect for those of us who are sick of McD's.
