mornin...meh

yesterday sucked at work..was here 30 minutes late due to a computer malfunction. it was sooooooooooo busy..yuck!

today we got here and our ONLY register wouldn't work so I spent the first 20 minutes fixing that and having a mini stroke over it.

I have a wisdom tooth trying to come up again (almost 10 years that my W teeth have been making an attempt at coming in) and it hurts.... I'm tired from fasting, need medicine, and gettin ready for AF's visit (i think).... I'm considering donuts this morning....and a very large coffee!

Allousa - I iz droolin'. Now I want steak!!!

I second that on the drooling!!

Anyone care to share good marinade recipes? Preferably with stuff available to buy in Egypt. lol

We don't have as much store bought stuff (bottled, etc) readily available and I prefer fresh ingredients anyways.

And happy Wednesday all

Oh Amal..... ....there is NOTHING like tooth pain! OMG!!!!! Hope you get to feeling better. I certainly think a coffee and a big FAT pastry something is in order!!!!!

I will ask Hicham to tell me what he puts in his marinade.

Good morning, everyone.

Yay Jenn, how exciting!!! I'd say those six weeks will pass in a flash, but ... lol... maybe not.

I'd ask what cankles are but I'm not sure I want to know. It's been so long since I was pregnant that I've forgotten all that *wonderful* stuff.

Jenn, I can't believe it! Seems like the time has flown by so quickly. Looking back now, those last few weeks seemed to move so slowly...but it does fly by. I'm so excited for you.

This is the marinade that Hicham used on the steaks last night. He said he didn't measure when he made it but tried to guesstimate how much he used.

1 cup vinegar (white distilled)

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tsp rosemary

1 tsp oregano

1 tsp thyme

1 tsp basil

1 tsp ginger

1 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp hot sauce (like Texas Pete)

He said to marinate (covered) the meat for at least 3 hours, flipping meat after and hour and half as this mixture probably will not cover the meat completely. Keep in mind this was for two strip steaks, so if you are doing more meat, double the recipe accordingly.

I would have thought rosemary on steak ( ), but I'm tellin' ya! It was FABULOUS!!!!!

Response to my inquiry yesterday if a decision had been made about the job I interviewed for last week:

Amanda,

Some decisions have been made. Your candidacy is still under consideration; however, we have a few more candidates to interview before I can provide you any feedback on direction.

Scott

So should I be worried???

Cankles are when you can't distinguish between your calf and your ankles, hehe. Since I've been on bedrest, my feet haven't had the opportunity to get swollen. I'm going to be going back to work a couple of afternoons a week, so I'm looking forward to some nice cankles in the near future.

I'm sure the next 6 weeks are going to seem painfully long...at least that's what everyone tells me!

no, you are lucky they responded quickly! I remember my mom applied for a job and they didn't respond until 2 months later. Also, when I had my interview, they said,oh we have had a lot of people apply for this job, and I immediately thought, great there goes my chance, but boy was I surprised! First day with the kids today!

I was so fortunate that I didn't have too many complications with my pregnancy. I did have gest. diabetes and I had to take the shots, but everything was kept under control and the shots weren't so bad.

Now the last few days, my blood pressure starting creeping up and since I was set for a scheduled induction, I was put on bed rest for a few days. By that time, my belly felt like it was going to burst and I couldn't get out of bed without rolling back in forth to gain enough momentum to prop myself up! I feel for ya being on bedrest. How long have you been on bedrest?
