Nathan Chen is in 4th place in the men's short program in the team competition in SK. He did a really terrible short program....as JW said...."worst I've ever seen him do....."

But he is in the top five so he will skate in the long program....I have a feeling he will redeem himself.

I have been thinking about what DR GINNY wrote earlier today....and of course she is correct.....planning and cooking meals for MANY years must be a chore.....

Maybe that's why eating out is such a treat for Moms!

Oh, I know. I have one here somewhere. But so hard to imagine that it is already almost full.

Well, I should never be allowed to shop for a computer by myself again. This one is cheap. I think it is really a travel computer that was on the shelf a long time that they wanted to get rid of. I think it is almost out of space already. I installed a virus thing, Mozzilla, Office, and downloaded one long document, and I think it is almost out of room.

Can you return it?

Jeanne, there's an apartment complex here in town that made the news yesterday. A couple days after rent was due, the City inspected the complex and shut it down completely. The tenants were put out on the street because the building wasn't safe. And no rent refund. They are now homeless.

This is very sad.

That's horrible! I have renter's insurance to cover expenses should I not be able to live here, but I'd still hate to have to find substitute housing. Comparable apartments are 50% higher than what I now pay.

DR Laura's story is a reminder of why you have insurance. The fact the place can rent for more if you move is why they don't want to fix it.

Well, I need to leave work and go home. I want to do a little shopping first, so I'll do that, then go home.

Be back later.

Back from seeing the cut of act one of Levi - I only had some tiny notes and it looked great.

Then as I was driving home, David Wechter called and was in the nabe so we went and had some Japanese food. Teriyaki and tempura for me - very full, but I never gain weight from it.

And now I'm in for the evening and for the evening I'm in, not necessarily in that order.

I have been enjoying planning and cooking some new dishes this week

vixmom · « **Reply #135 on:** February 08, 2018, 07:38:52 PM »

The other day I took chicken cutlets sliced them, seasoned them with a bit of garlic, salt and pepper then stuffed them with a slice of mozzarella and a slice of roasted red pepper , brown them in a bit of olive oil and then moved them to a casserole dish and popped it in the oven. The. I slice some fresh mushrooms and grape tomatoes and sauteed them in the pan and added a little chicken stock, when the veggies were soft I added them to the casserole and drizzled balsamic over the chicken and veggies and let it all cook about 20 minutes

vixmom · « **Reply #136 on:** February 08, 2018, 07:39:07 PM »

I served it with steamed broccoli

vixmom · « **Reply #137 on:** February 08, 2018, 07:40:11 PM »

Today I sauteed some fresh sliced mushrooms and onion with a little butter and garlic then added a little Marsala .

vixmom · « **Reply #138 on:** February 08, 2018, 07:41:15 PM »

Meanwhile I thinly sliced a chicken breast and dipped the slices in egg and seasoned bread crumbs

vixmom · « **Reply #139 on:** February 08, 2018, 07:43:38 PM »

I removed the mushrooms into a dish and keep them warm and browned the chicken in the same pan, once browned on both sides I added some more Marsala and the mushrooms and let it simmer a few minutes

vixmom · « **Reply #140 on:** February 08, 2018, 07:44:27 PM »

I served this with steamed mixed veggies : broccoli, beans, carrots, water chestnuts

Back to Chet Baker. So sad, but the music is so beautiful, so moving.

DR vixmom, after reading your meal descriptions (even though I'm older than you), will you adopt me?

Jeanne · « **Reply #145 on:** February 08, 2018, 09:19:04 PM »

I watched two episodes of QUEER EYE. They're using the same formula as the original. I'd do a couple things a bit differently, but overall I feel it works. The first makeoveree was a good ole boy from Atlanta, a very sweet guy who was very open to changes and a really good sport. I've gotta give these guys credit; I don't think I'd want someone cutting my hair and drastically changing my wardrobe.

Jeanne · « **Reply #146 on:** February 08, 2018, 09:20:55 PM »

For those who enjoyed the original, the new QUEER EYE is worth a try.

Jeanne · « **Reply #147 on:** February 08, 2018, 09:22:29 PM »

Vixmom clearly enjoys cooking.

Jane, I think it's primarily a cash flow issue. Yes, these apartments would rent for more, but first they'd have to do a lot of work to fix them up. They poured a LOT of money into one of the other apartments in the fall and did more work than was necessary, IMO, and it's sitting vacant. Seven months with no rent because work was being done, and now 2 1/2 months waiting for a tenant. That's got to hurt. They couldn't rent my apartment as it is; the kitchen ceiling plaster is a mess. They feel they have to fix up the place to be competitive, but how many people can afford sky-high rent?

As one friend put it, "You can't afford to buy and you can't afford to rent." Housing prices--and rents--are just over the top here.
