ttc after a d&c

[horseypants]

oh my gosh, chili and cornbread please!

can you do brownies too please? lets do brownies and pepermint ice cream, i'm evil!

i had a split second day dream of our two day sleepover while reading posts earlier.

so i've been rushing home to cook in the hour before e gets home and i've gotten good at it! last night i did this neat thing. ground turkey with taco spices and then in separate bowls of course, spicy black beans and then lettuce, avocado and tomatos from the garden..... then this neat trick:

i sprayed flour tortillas with oil and put them on a bundt cake dish, just inside the part where you put the cake batter in. i was able to fit three at a time and then - i broiled them on high. the first round burned unfortunately, which taught me the time difference between a crispy golden and a brown burny TOSTADA SALAD SHELL is about a minute! so you gotta watch it! and cause of the wierd cake tray, the shape was not exactly what you'd expect but that just makes it fun! it's like the shape of half a fortune cookie if you use the kind of cake dish i used. for those of you with fancier cake trays though, you could get a truer to life tostada shape.

LOL i got this idea from an infomercial selling trays for for this and i was like - what-ever
im going to have radical shaped tostada salad shells!

anyway, it looked so neat and tasted great. and you could use more or less oil depending on your taste cause they are baked not fried. we have one of those oil sprayer thingis so i used that but will admit i went overboard with the oil. -oh and even better, i keep the flour tortillas in the freezer till i want to cook with them. you can have these things in the freezer and use them for all kinds of stuff where the other ingredients can be frozen or canned until you are ready. its great if you cant go shopping that day but want a really good homecooked dinner. all you have to have fresh is lettuce and maybe an onion /tomato or avocado and sour cream if you're into that.

jen, have you ever made "dirty rice." how do you make it?

mommy lov, i cant post from my phone either! i always have to email pics to myself then do it at work.... i wanna see!

 

[horseypants]

oh one more thing. why's steak good for swimmers? OH doesnt eat enough steak, i need info to convince him we should have it more. i love it.

he and i still havent made it to bed, in the biblical sense. lol tonight or tomorrow and then no stopping till o has been confirmed lol. -that's one philosophy anyway, suddenly, the other part of me wants to do it once, the day i get a smiley face! ive got like two cheapy opks left and about five of the smiley face ones. really hoping i do o as expected, by monday!

whoah three posts ina row, my spam took up a page, sorry! missed u i guess. couldnt hold back.

dont shoot me! remember i was going to post shoes from thailand? here they are
my coworker got them whislt on vacay in thailand, from a street cart. they are rubbery, a bit like flip flops. so cute! they are kind of "lacy"

Amy, I use the photobucket app and just paste image code from there!

Horsey, I can made the chewiest, fudgiest brownies ever and I love love LOVE minty ice cream!
Haven't had a sleepover in ages- I am so due one right?
Thanks for the tip on homemade taco shells! I just made a literal note of it!
And never hold back!
Oh and here is a random tip: I never have foil pans for the freezer but if I have lasagna or something that I want to freeze I will line a pan with foil and put the food in there and stick it in the freezer. Go back later and remove the pan by it has frozen into the foil shape that I want

Cat peeps, do you make your OH change the litter?
And does your cat genuinely enjoy digging? Sorry but my cat loves new litter and he will happily play in it long before he uses it. Weird kitty lol

 

[horseypants]

the freezer foil pan is genius! keep em coming. yum brownies. i made some from a box the other day and was fully impressed with myself. do i dare work up to your recipe?

OH deals with the kitty litter and yes, kitty basically HAS to make a mess with it at some point before using it.

Great ideas ladies! I love making homemade stuff too! Talking about lasanga i made eggplant zuccini lasanga it was sooo delicious! Got to make it one more time before the farmers market closes. Im not into spicy foods really but i love taco salads so i do make my own taco shell bowls never thought of using that pan. Also great tin foil tip thanks yum fudge chewy brownies i love it usually add walnuts to em too. As for pies i dont make many but i make cheese cake and pumpkin okay and apple.

Before bfp i really had no symptoms i was sick though with a fever and had my bfp at cd 24 9dpo! Bloodwork at cd 23 was positive also

Love it!!!!!!!!! Angel, if your af did start wouldn't the first day of bleeding count, even if it is ever so light? This is what I thought.

 

[aaronswoman79]

ok, now i researched and people are saying af is the 1st day of full flow. Wow, now I am confused. I counted the first day I got my cycle, so first day of light bleeding. Anybody know the answer to this, or can clarify it, because I am confused.

delete that. I have been counting mine wrong. Oh my. I didn't know it had to be a full flow:

 

[xoxo4angel]

 

[jen435]

Yes first day of flow and it doesnt matter how light.

No when i got bfp last time i had no af symptoms at all. All i had was a fever sore throat ear pain and congestion. So no pg symptoms unless sickness counts.

Im cd 20 now... 9 days before af... So ill most likely test sept 23rd if no af still...

 

[Storked]

Horsey, LOVE those shoes woman! And to think, all I have from my hubby from Thailand is a Hello Titty shirt. He is so classy!
An those box brownies are some of the very best- just spice it up by dumping in extra chocolate and nuts if you like
I wish muffins were as awesome from a box.

Jessica, like Jen said. First flow, lightness doesn't matter. They just mean that spotting doesn't count

Jen, maybe next pregnancy will be different eh?
As for pie, anything that doesn't use a graham cracker crust is still a work in progress for me I suck at making pie crust!

Does anyone know if you can get phyllo dough at Walmart? Baklava sounds so good.*
And what is something that you absolutely loved since forever, food-wise? Mine was pickles! They were never too sour for me. I hope my kids are pickle eaters too
Y'all should read How Eskimos Keep Their Babies Warm. Such an entertaining read

phyllo dough is always a pain in the butt for me to find. Thx for the info on spotting. I am confused because since I can remember, the first day of my period is always very light, and I usually only I bleed when I clean myself, but it happens almost everytime I go bathroom, so would that be considered spotting? This is the first time in my life I am actually charting my cycle, so Im a beginner. Lots of new things to learn.

Guess what, when I was pregnant some of my first symptoms, was a totally unexplained sore throat that my body was having trouble fighting off. My husbands theory was that my body was doing so much at the beginning of the pregnancy, that my immunity was a little low.
