Still Waiting...

prosodicNo phone call yet. I tried calling my Dad, and immediately got his voicemail.
I'm trying to hold it together.
Went to the airport with Lance. It was a gorgeous day, weather-wise, so everything went fine. We got home, I put Orange Chicken in the slow cooker, Lance mowed the lawn, we made phone calls. Not necessarily in that order.
Spent the afternoon just getting caught up with the SIL. Around 5:30, we had snacks: cheese, party mix, crackers, dip. Dinner was going to be late.
I served dinner at 7:30. This was a new recipe for me, and it was good.
Slow Cooker Orange Chicken
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs (8 small...but I had 1.5 lbs., 6 thighs in the package)
3 TBSP. flour
1/3 c. orange marmalade
1/3 c. barbecue sauce (Kraft Original, if you have it)
2 TBSP. soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
Toss chicken with flour in the slow cooker. Coat thoroughly. Add other ingredients and mix well. Cook on low 6-8 hours or high 3-4 hours.
I served with wild rice and green beans. Very very good.
We had brownie sundaes for dessert, and the Bourbon Vanilla ice cream I bought is very nice.
We watched The Muppet Show while we ate.
I had a couple glasses of wine, and I'm ready for bed. Kim just turned in. There's a very loud party going on at the restaurant down the street, which I expect to go on until the wee hours, so I don't know how much sleep I'll get tonight, even though I'm exhausted.
Expecting to get the phone call overnight. But I really don't know. I assume that Grandma is off life support by now. They should've turned it off yesterday. Now it's just waiting for the inevitable.
