Yesterday we had our pre-Thanksgiving meal since my brother and his wife will be in Miami on Thanksgiving day to visit their future son-in-law’s side of the family. It was a great time of fellowship for 6 hrs of eating, talking and watching Christmas DVD’s. I was kind of hoping my sister-in-law would have made a ham ... instead it was a small turkey. I’m not that fond of that bird :negative: but I enjoyed all the tasty side dishes and the desserts were ooh la la good. :good: I made Italian struffoli and they supplied the pies ... apple pie with vanilla ice cream and Edwards Hershey Chocolate Creme Pie. Mmmmm :whistle: This morning I made Chicken Parmesan so my dog and I had that for lunch. We will have that for tomorrow as well and I will freeze the rest for left overs at another time. Since it was just my dog and I for Thanksgiving, I bought Beef Brisket from the hot deli bar at the grocery store Wednesday afternoon and just reheated in the microwave for 20 seconds and made the side dishes of mash potatoes, garden salad. Then I had a slice of the Edwards Chocolate Cream Pie. Today I was out shopping in the afternoon so I stopped at the pizzeria and got their lunch special - 2 slices of pizza and a soda. I’m still full so I’m skipping dinner. 3rd snow storm this week starts tomorrow morning 9:00 am thru 9:00 pm :wacko: Trying to stay warm while keeping it simple ... French Onion soup, Garden salad & Pistachio whip cream pie for dinner. Had a ham quiche the other night with butterscotch pie and whipped cream! Hot dogs for lunch. TR Oh that ham quiche and butterscotch cream pie sounds soo delicious ... looks like your daughter is feeding you well. :good: Even the hot dogs sound great! I haven’t had them in a while. What brand of hot dogs do you like? The garlicky Nathan’s franks, the traditional ball park franks or something else? Also what toppings do you add on? Just mustard or relish or everything under the sun? Whenever I would watch the Matlock program I would be craving a chili hot dog. :yes: Hebrew National -- kosher. Costco foot long for about a buck fifty! Filled with mayo, sweet pickle relish, onions and BBQ potato chips. Then a churro for desert! Hot dogs are best BBQ'd with BBQ sauce and light crisp edge on the skin, then everything else thrown on top. Chili dog with onions and fries a good second choice. Can't forget a coke on the rocks to chase it down with! No better yet a vanilla shake with whipped cream and a cherry! Anyone else besides me salivating?! TR Looks like I need to invite Geri to come enjoy some slightly warmer temperatures here in the south and she can cook some yummy food! Hebrew National Kosher Franks! Yes, I remember them, Dan. The NJ grocery stores sold them ... they are very good. It’s hard to find them up here in Vermont so I’ve basically buy the baseball Ball Park brand but I do prefer the Hebrew National. T.R. all the toppings you add sound so delicious! I had to google what a churro is. So that is basically a cinnamon donut only in the shape of French Fries? They look sumptuously tasty. I could go for that right now! :yes: Heather, so glad to see you join the cyber dinner table. Aww you’re so sweet. I wish we did live closer so we could fellowship and eat together. I reckon we will just have to wait just a little while longer for heaven. Today it stopped snowing and we had sunshine glorious sunshine for a change!!! :yahoo: So I was out all day shopping in the big city. Stopped for lunch at Wendy’s for a quarter pounder juicy cheese burger, fries and chocolate frosty milkshake. I love it when you talk food! Churro's are little bit more crispy than a doughy doughnut. Where down south do you hail?! What are you "go to" meals. TR Dinner ... Hebrew National - Kosher hot dog! I found a package out of reach at the grocery store. :whistle: Large Fries from McD’s ... free with promotional coupon Black Cherry soda and a couple of fun size Peppermint Patties for dessert I skipped breakfast so lunch is a bowl of spaghetti with Rao’s tomato sauce and I sautéed red peppers and caramelized a sweet vidalia onion so I added them on top. My drink is black cherry float with vanilla ice cream. Mmmm ... delicious comfort food on a wintry day. :whistle: I just had an English muffin and some spam. A glass of chocolate milk also. Probably a ham sandwich for lunch. I think we need to start a breakfast club in Heaven. TR What is the difference between spam vs. ham? Yes, a breakfast club in heaven would be awesome! :good: Just think every kind of donut under the sun and bagels and cream cheese or butter and glorious sumptuous flaky pastries! :yahoo: I reckon those who must have protein ... there will be platters of eggs, bacon, ham ... and sweet fruit. I wonder how we will know its time for breakfast since it will always be sunny and there is no night? Will there be clocks in heaven so we aren’t late for appointments? B-) Since we already have Lisa Leenie waiting up in heaven for us in our RITAN room where we can all get together and see each other face to face; which I am super excited about; I think we should also add in a request for a kitchen of some kind where we can cook together and a dining space to enjoy meals together!!! I have to be careful what time of day I read this post - it makes me hungry every time! :mdrmdr:
