Chili Colorado and Chili Verdi. Hate re-fried beans. Can't stand cilantro! But I love anything with a sauce! That's what I like about certain international foods, is their various sauces. Usually it's a cold sandwich or some Top Ramen noodles. But I do enjoy meat and potatoes and gravy. Now you went and did it! You've given me an appetite. Oh bother, guess I'm just gonna have to eat again. TR Ooh la la. T.R my mouth is watering for the Beef burritos at Taco Bell and nacho’s and cheese and BBQ chicken sandwich! Taco Bell is not in my town so I do the next best thing ... I buy the frozen mild burritos at the local grocery store for 50 cents each. Then add cheddar cheese and microwave for 2 minutes. So easy and cheap meal. Tonight I’m finishing up on the Swedish meatballs and fettuccini. I seriously need to expand on my menu! Just reading through these posts and I am just so not adventurous! Beef burrito at Taco Bell with nacho's and cheese for lunch. BBQ chicken sandwich for dinner last night. We'll see what the Lord has cooked up for tonight! TR That Terayaki beef meal with cucumber salad sounds delicious! Glad you weren’t tempted for the sushi. Chicken adobo ... I never heard of it so I googled the ingredients ... it sounds delicious along with the egg roll and onion rings. I skipped breakfast ... lunch was Swedish meatballs over fettuccini noodles. 2 scoops of Heavenly Hash ice cream and small can of Cherry Coke. Chicken adobo for tonight a great Filipino dish my daughter makes! Just had an egg roll and onion rings for lunch! Yum! TR Took my wife out to dinner for her birthday. A nice sushi restaurant. She had the sushi, I had Terayaki beef and cucumber salad. Enjoyed the meal. Any offers me any sushi, I'll be looking for a fishing pole to go with it! TR Everything went well this morning. Good weather ... and the wisdom tooth extraction was quick without any problems. :thankyou so much for your prayers! Note: yesterday we had freezing rain/snow and tomorrow another storm is coming ... but today the Lord kept the storm clouds away and its sunshine! :whistle: Breakfast - hot pretzel and banana Lunch and dinner will be Heavenly Hash flavor Ice Cream since I’m not allowed to eat solid foods for the rest of the day. I’m not complaining, not at all. B-) Cooking up a storm this morning. Made BBQ chicken in the oven, sautéed and caramelized the onions and added to the French style green beans. Baked potato with melted cheddar cheese. Dessert was chocolate and vanilla ice cream banana split with whip cream. Washed it all down with a tall glass of sweet ice tea. I skipped breakfast so this was my New Year’s lunch/dinner. Keeping it simple ... Dinner ... 2 frozen pretzels heated in the microwave for 1 minute ... then added peanut butter and jelly on top. A cup of hot chocolate and Ovaltine with marshmallows and whip cream Yep, Solomon sure was a complex character with all that wisdom he was granted from the Lord. From “Men of the Bible” by Ann Spangler & Robert Wolgemuth He orchestrated the building of a palace and the temple, a permanent house of worship and an apt dwelling place for the Ark of the Covenant. Built to elegant specifications, this holy building mirrored Solomon’s love for God and his eye for beauty and attention to the smallest detail. Politically, he organized the kingdom into 12 districts and appointed governors over each one. Educationally, Solomon held clinics and “described plant life, from the cedar of Lebanon to the hyssop that grew out of the walls. He taught the people about animals and birds, ... gasp ... reptiles and fish :negative: .” A lover of the arts, Solomon spoke 3,000 proverbs and his songs numbered 1,005. But in the end, Solomon’s wisdom could not save him. All that wisdom and great accomplishments Solomon was a failure because of his unwillingness to “keep God’s statues”. His insatiable appetite for foreign women was his down fall. - Fair Use - ————— 700 wives 300 concubines :wacko: I wonder if he could remember all their names and their birthdays and anniversaries? :mail: Or perhaps he was smart enough to just call them all “my dear ... my lovely one” and gave them all gifts everyday since it was bound to be their birthday. :mdrmdr: Good catch Dan! Even Solomon couldn't figure out women. Just human nature. TR TR, you volunteered, "But if anyone’s ideal Heaven clashes with mine, I’ll just blink it out of existence." Sounds a lot like Barbara Eden of the "I Dream of Jeannie" sitcom back in our youth. So if she's up there blinking back, who should win? It's good that Solomon will be around somewhere. Making BBQ chicken in the crockpot, the sides will be honey glazed carrots, homemade coleslaw and applesauce. Dessert will be a Banana Split - with vanilla ice cream, caramel topping, whip cream, walnuts, cherries. Speaking of Bon Appetite, may the Lord give us all a foretaste of Heaven in this life! TR
