Another one that isn't too hard on prep but does include a lot of dishes is Haystacks (Mexican, Hawaiian), -- rice and sauce are what cooks and then it's the toppings that.<br /><br />Another idea is Chinese, with help from Costco (big bags of frozen veggies mixed w/ meat, orange chicken) over rice. Potstickers if it won't kill your budget. (That was what bil made for MD dinner and it was good.)<br /><br />My other fave fast meal is meat and cheese on rolls (again, Costco) and have people bring salads/sides.<br /><br />The other suggestion I have is DON'T WORRY about MW.

Then I ready your comedian son's comment, and felt relief. Jared comes home for his mid-tour 2 weeks R&R. I was thinking I would try and scramble around in the attic and garage...undoing the messes I've made in his man-spaces since he's been away for the past 5 months! But, I'm taking your boy's advice. Why start now? Thanks for the big laugh!!<br /><br />On a more serious note, I will be thinking of you. Try to breathe every now & then, ok?

At least you will be going to the Taylor/King concert. That should be relaxing. I am envious. Wish I could go with you. I hate that you are going to be so busy this next week. I was so busy today, I can relate. Didn't even have time to get to your blog as you can see by the late hour. Funny thing, when you have a list like yours (and I have had one almost as bad) When you do get it all done, the feeling is enormously wonderful!!!I just finished the cleaning out of three closets and we took a lot of bags full of clothing to Angel View (D.I. was too far away.) I am loving having a little more room in my closet instead of having everything crushed together. <br /><br />I will be so glad when you get here. I will pamper you by not letting you do any work at all. You can lie around and read all day. (Know you will love that) At least you will get a really good rest and I will even turn the air conditioning down to 76. <br /><br />Relax sweetheart, all that work will wait for you. And when you get all the great sounding recipe's, don't forget to send them on to me as I want to try them all.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16797132860053426517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-87558351059759241392010-05-10T20:49:29.975-07:002010-05-10T20:49:29.975-07:00What a great list!!

Can be made ahead of time and is a hit with everybody (can you say mothers day dinner made on friday?) Feeds an army and I did not invent the recipe so you know it could be really good!<br /><br />As for the list - I love making a list! Mostly with a dry erase pen on my bathroom mirror - that way I see it when I have time to contemplate. Making the list counts for EVERYTHING!!<br /><br />They sell great outdoor rugs at most big box stores - unroll and that is one down!<br /><br />Wish I could lend you my wand but you know it would only work if you defeat me in battle (Harry Potter).<br /><br />Good luck - Have fun on your trips - the linen closet will wait for you FOREVER!!<br /><br />PS - sorry so long<br />PSS - my word verification?
