Taco Bell for lunch and then Baked ham with garlic "fritters" and green salad for dinner! Yum TR Ooh La La both your meals sound sumptuously delicious. Do you have a special sauce to dip the garlic fritters into ... like ... BBQ, Sweet & Sour, Honey Mustard or do you eat them plain? Plain mostly. There was some extra glaze that came with the Ham. We could spoon a little on the fritters. Home made tacos and Spanish rice for tonight, compliments of my daughter! TR What a thoughtful daughter to be preparing delicious meals for you and your wife. I’m craving the glaze ham with lots of pineapple and maraschino cherries. Hoping my sister-in-law decides to make that for our Thanksgiving meal instead of turkey. I’m invited a week ahead of Thanksgiving ... your high watch date of 11/21. 😉 Those fritters and tacos I’m craving as well. Instead I just had a small bowl of Jello with whip cream. Since I will be out most of today shopping at Michael’s Craft store, Bed Bath & Beyond, Goodwill and Home Depot for more Behr paint sample jars. :wacko: no cooking today ... for lunch I will quickly stop at Wendy’s to get a quarter pounder cheese burger/small fries and raspberry lemonade drink. :whistle: I like the way you roll! TR So busy painting, decorating, unpacking, tossing things out ... I put together this cute Christmas bike yesterday. Hee hee I don’t feel like cooking so I stopped to get a hot meal at the local grocery store food court. Brought home Beef Brisket in a small container and added my own sides of cream of corn, salad, hot french bread with melted butter. Dessert will be a small bowl of Nabisco animal crackers. Is that the bike Santa uses? Had some BBQ chicken the other night. And waffles and sausage's last night. Thinking about going to Denny's on Memorial Day and get a free breakfast. TR LOL everyone is making fun of my little Christmas bike. A cyber friend said “No wonder Santa switched to a reindeer powered sled.” I just finished painting an entire cinder block wall. Wow its a lot of work but boy does it look good now with the white paint. Mmmm BBQ chicken sounds sooo good and the waffles too. Glad to hear Denny’s honors the military with free meals on Veteran’s Day ... enjoy your breakfast on Monday. I know it will be delicious. :yes: Were you in the Army, Navy, Air Force , Marines, National Guard? Air Force, 4 yrs active and two years on call. TR Just checking in to say :bye: So you are a pilot. Very cool :good: How was your free breakfast at Denny’s? Lately I haven’t been eating anything exciting ... I don’t have an appetite. Just doing chicken soups or eating bite size frosted mini wheat cereal. Tonight though I’m making grilled Chicken Caesar Salad but instead of Romaine lettuce it’s iceberg. Free breakfast at Denny's was good, then had a free entree at Olive Garden. Going out for BBQ pork ribs tonight, onion rings and cole slaw. My daughter made a killer chicken noodle soup which I also had a couple of nights ago. TR Wow I’m happy to hear both freebie meals on Veteran’s Day were delicious. I love Olive Garden meals. Last time I was there was at Myrtle Beach in 2010. Someone gave me the recipe for Olive Garden Chicken Tortellini soup a few years ago and I made it from scratch and it tasted just like the restaurant. Sooo good. I’m not sure where the recipe is though ... still unpacking. What made your daughter’s homemade chicken soup a killer? Any special secret ingredients added? Glad she is taking care and spoiling you with many delicious meals! :good: We bought a house together. They live upstairs and my wife and I live downstairs. So there's a lot of interaction. She started her family late so my wife and I spent 20 years giving time, attention and meager finances for my first daughter and her family. Now it was time to focus on my youngest daughter's family! She often cooks for me. Should the Lord tarry, they will inherit the house and the payments, till then it will serve as our retirement home! TR That was a very smart move. Good arrangements for you both! :good: I think its fun to have family so close. When my parents newly married they went halvsies with my mom’s parents and bought a 2 family home. It had a basement and an attic too. My parents lived on the first floor and grand parents with their 2 kids on the 2nd floor. Then when my aunt got married they converted the attic into a bedroom, a kitchen area and living room. She had to go down the steps though to used either bathrooms on the 2nd floor or 1st floor. She was able to save enough money to buy a home by living in the attic first. My grandparents enjoyed having all their kids and grandkids in the same house. Then my aunt purchased a home a few blocks away and my parents were going to buy right next door to her but the seller wouldn’t come down in price and my parent’s still owned half of that 2 family home. So we moved 20 minutes away “in the country” where the homes were cheaper. It was a resort area with a lake for those in NYC to vacation at. Later on we saw why the sellers didn’t want to come down in price because the Lord arranged for the new person who bought next door to my aunt to be a believer. She was the one who witnessed to my aunt and prayed over her and never gave up even though my aunt was fresh to her and said I can’t give up praying to Mary and would open up her back screen porch windows and blast the Beetles “Let It Be” over to her house. :mdrmdr: That dear lady never gave up praying for my aunt’s salvation. And about a year later my aunt got saved and then shared the Gospel with the rest of our family. We all got saved except for my aunt’s ex-husband, her oldest son and 2 grandkids. I’m still :prayer-hands: for them. Today I have to go back to Home Depot and get 1 more gallon of paint for the basement walls so I will stop and order the lunch special - 2 slices of pizza and soda for $4.00 at a local pizzeria in that town. Its good pizza ... taste like Northern NJ/NYC version. :good:
