What books do you have in your TBR pile for the summer reading season?

I have 3 books going:

Sophie Kinsella, Wedding Night. So far it is not doing much for me. My mom read and said it is hysterical, so I will give it a little more reading time.

Dana Gynther, Crossing on the Paris is a book about 3 women, in three different classes, crossing from Paris to the states in 1921 and their "life-changing voyage".

Rosie Molinary, Beautiful You. This is a book on self-awareness to your mind and body. I heard her speak at a lecture at school this past semester and has a powerful message that I think most women can relate too. ]]> Movies, Music, Books, and TV callalily https://community.southernliving.com/showthread.php?22457-May-2013-Book-Club https://community.southernliving.com/showthread.php?22456-For-those-who-enjoy-flying&goto=newpost Wed, 08 May 2013 23:49:31 GMT Personally, I love to fly but here's one for those who are scared of airplanes...

Y'all hungry yet? We decided to skip church today. So, I'm going to cook lunch instead of supper and then we'll have leftovers tonight.
Menu: Roast beef, mashed potatoes, green beans, hot yeast rolls with lots of butter, :eek: and a caramel cake that I made last night. (We had to sample that last night as soon as it was made..I'll leave some for y'all). Then tonight we'll have roast beef sammies with gravy and DH will throw cheese on top of his!

I had a dinner out last evening -- scallops, lobster mac & cheese and sage potato casserole. Couldn't finish it all so that will be my dinner tonight -- the leftovers. What's been going on at your place?

My Mama always did her "spring cleaning" in March. If she could see my house right now, she'd be ashamed!:eek:
I think I'll suggest hamburgers on the grill to DH. He's awake early this morning, walking around outside with a cup of coffee in his hand right now. I think he's trying to decide where I need to work today so I'll return the favor by suggesting he cook burgers. I could make some potato salad, maybe..have some chili, cheese, onion to slap on the burgers..left over strawberries and pound cake. I think this will work for me.

Mrs. Ashton posted..actually started the dinner thread..yesterday. One of fav posters. Hope she'll join us often.

So, y'all have any money left to buy groceries after paying our "uncle?" DH grumbled yesterday and said we'd have bread and water. So we did! NOT!!!

Tonight I'd doing what DH requested: Fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, green veggie of some sort, yeast rolls and I'm making a pound cake to serve with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. Picked some strawberries yesterday and they are really good.

How about you?

I know this is kinda late. I came on today to look for an recipe from the past, and saw my favorite board "What's for Supper?" We are having spaghetti, bruschetta, and salad.

Today is marking a new healthier meal plan. Hmmm, let's see ~~ tonight I'm not sure. I could make a batch of soup or do a veggie/pasta type of thing. Any ideas out there? Or does anyone want to invite me to their house for dinner? When there is just "one of you" it is hard to prepare a decent, healthy meal that you REALLY like. I'm sure the other "party of one" households can attest to this. I'm supposed to be eating more fiber, too.

DH is away overnight on a business trip. That means no cooking for me! I'm picking up a big salad and a baked potato on the way home.
