They lasted a long time in my opinion. One pack lasted almost a year. I was the only one allowed to use them.
wow! looks so empty!
The 2 things per round is to help the kitchen keep up, and to prevent waste. If everyone in the restaurant orders 5 things, they can't keep up, and you get some people who want to try so many things and then they get full and still have 3 dishes left untouched...so they limit it so you can't do that, and they charge you 2.50 for wasted food. I HOPE that's only at the end, not if you don't like something, but as Hubby paid, I didn't see whether they charged me for the dolma I didn't eat. Neither of us would touch it.
I've never had Golabkis....interesting. My friend from Iran makes Dolma and it's really good. I've had recipes I like and ones I don't. But I've never had ones served completely cold like that, and it was so hard and crumbly...not at all a nice texture.
I hope the rain is done! Is the weed killer poisonous? Does it kill grass?It was a beautiful day. I repainted my entryway rug-outside, got the bark on all of the plants in pots. Dug a hole. I have a Shepard's double hook that keeps falling over, annoying. When I'm done it will be there until the metal rots. I had sprayed down our entire property with liquid weed kill, with all the rain we even had weeds popping up in the pavers, rocks and a crack in the driveway. Insane. Seems they are half dead. Hope I don't have to do that again-ever.
Now I want to go out to dinner...da da da da da da da da da da da DA dadadada da da da da da da da DA da da da DUH DUH DUUHH
DOOM DUM ~That's what happens when you watch too much Jeopardy.
And it is going to rain tonight and on and off tomorrow. River is over now again from yesterday. Joy Joy
Well, in the end, DD just learned it by herself. She got into first grade and I heard her reading to her brother, looked at the book and it had some huge words...it was a Disney's Cars book on CD. So you had the CD play and followed along in the book....only she wasn't using the CD and we had never listened to it, so it wasn't something she learned from listening to it over and over...she was really reading it. So I took the book in to show her teacher..it was right at the beginning of the school year. So her teacher looked at it, called her over, opened it to a random page and asked her to read it. She did, so the teacher put her into the advanced reading book...she was the only one, which was kind of sad because she had to go sit in the hall for reading and kids from other classes would walk by and ask her what she did because the hall is where kids were sent if they were misbehaving. But she actually LIKED sitting in the hall because it was quiet. So she taught herself to read, but the school where she went to kindergarten didn't help her.
On our 2013 trip we had an absolutely horrible meal. Food, service and the server brought out something my ds was allergic to even though the item was listed on the sheet and we mentioned it to the server and the chef. Cold food warm beer
and the attitude from heck when I mentioned the allergy problem. The server asked if I could just remove it
After the meal I walked straight to guest relations and I have to say the staff there was fantastic and made up for all the problems we had
Happy Grill A Thon day. My nice quiet at home day turned into my dh trying out his new toy day and trying my patience day. At least the cornbread and beans are already in the oven
Also bought twice cooked potatoes (topped with cheese and bacon bits--the butcher shop makes those) and cooked them up in the oven. 
Yesterday, i used my Weber (charcoal) grill for the first time this season. Bought a big cowboy steak at the butcher shop, grilled it up, and hubs and I devoured it.
No bone for the doggie, though. When we've given him a steak bone in the past, it doubled as a toy and also something for him to chew on. He likes to run around with it in his mouth, and then chucks it on the hardwood floor -- outside our bedroom -- at like, 2:00 AM . . . No more bones for the dog! (We give him a little piece of the steak, instead, in his food bowl.)
At least he got a piece of steak though. Yesterday, I made deviled eggs (and other stuff) for people coming over for a cookout today. Kapono didn't care at all what I was doing in the kitchen until she heard the crack of me unshelling the hard boiled eggs, then she came running and sat staring at me until I shared a little egg white with her. She also got a little leftover filling in her bowl of food too. Which I thought meant she would clean out her bowl, but no she just ate the pieces of food that had the egg stuff on it and left the rest.
