https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/My-New-Kitchen-Is-Officially-In-Operation/m-p/94355#M47275 <P>Hi all. Pretty sad week with news of Lee Bice's death, the Anthony trial, the Arizona and Southwest Weather; good grief. </P> <P>I was trying to stay positive and focus on my own good fortune with a new job and getting settled in. I love my new place, and Western NY had a beautiful Holiday weekend weather-wise. I had a few details to finish (you know, pictures hung, curtains up, bookcase assembled, the "Parrot" Welcome sign that says Welcome to Paradise that I got in Florida <IMG src="https://community.qvc.com/DesktopModules/ExactTarget/Controls/TextEditor/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/001_rolleyes.gif" alt="{#emotions_dlg.rolleyes}" /> needed to be hung up)....etc.</P> <P>So I made some strombolli (2 veggie, 2 pepperoni) and took them to the rental office. Guess what?? The maintenance guys are now my BFF's and all is done <IMG src="https://community.qvc.com/DesktopModules/ExactTarget/Controls/TextEditor/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/laugh.gif" alt="{#emotions_dlg.laugh}" />.</P> <P>Well, I guess that would be BMF's (4 of 5 of them shave their heads bald, so that could stand for Best Male Friends or Bald Male Friends but they're all adorable <IMG src="https://community.qvc.com/DesktopModules/ExactTarget/Controls/TextEditor/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/blush.gif" alt="{#emotions_dlg.blush}" />).</P> <P>So that's what I've made recently that was a BIG hit. A little too carby and doughy for me, so tonite it's a big salad with some leftover sliced sirloin.</P> <P>Oh....and thanks to all the wine lovers out there who recommended some great stuff; I really like the Kendall Jackson chard and pinot grigio recommended by Win and I think doxie.</P> <P>So what's for dinner, everyone??</P> <P>alex</P> <P> </P> Thu, 07 Jul 2011 21:39:51 GMT alexinflorida 2011-07-07T21:39:51Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/My-New-Kitchen-Is-Officially-In-Operation/m-p/94355#M47275 <P>Hi all.
