12 days until Memorial Day.

I much prefer Pepsi to Coke but I think Coke had the greatest commercial of all time. And wouldn't you know my favourite commercial is from the 70's.



And let's not forget the Christmas version.

I wonder if our cleaning ladies will do dishes too? Today I only had pots though.

I love those paper plates and bowls, as I tell hubby, takes no electricity, no dishwashing powder, and no water. Win, win, win,

Here was my spaghetti, and I made some cheesy garlic bread from some leftover hamburger buns. It really hit the spot!

Yummy and delish.

I'm a Pepsi fan also.

So, with no cable or internet, we headed out to some place where we could watch the games. Somewhere with multiple screens. Wacky Wings Pladium it was.

Deep fried pickles. I love these things!

Hubby's Caesar. With yucky croutons.

Your pictures looks amazing. I love your food choices. What was that chocolate drink? It looks might tasty.

I had the Sante Fe chicken wrap, with the $1.99 up-charge Caesar salad. No croutons.
The wrap was excellent, but I would have preferred a higher red pepper to green pepper ratio.

Salad was meh. Not a fan of the cheap Parmesan sprinkles.

Mike ordered four pounds of wings:

(Garlic Butter Parm in front - sooooooo good, Bourbon something or other in the rear.)

As I'm sure you can imagine, we brought 1/2 wrap and 2/3 of the wings home.

Home; where we still have no cable or internet.
Guess who will be going to bed early and starting a new book.

Jennifer, what kind of books do you like to read?

 

[Eric1955]

I know. I always throw him a like, because amazingly and amusingly, he's one of the few voices of reason on that thread sometimes.

I can't recall ever agreeing with Goofyernmost. You might consider me a "doom and gloomer" but I hate that expression.

Walt Disney is my hero. I didn't have much of a Father growing up and weird as it may seem I saw Walt Disney as a Father figure. I would stay up late to watch Walt present Disneyland/The Wonderful World of Color and think to myself "I wish I had a Dad like that." Maybe the whole thing is silly but that's why I care so much about what happens to his company. It's clear to me that Disney currently isn't living up to the standard he set and I feel like I have to call the company out on that.

I went to my grandsons baseball game tonight at 6pm. It was 87 degrees F. It's about time that North Carolina started to feel like North Carolina. I could have worn long pants, sweatshirts and a jacket, but, I would have been mighty uncomfortable.

I can only dream of 87 degrees F, in May, or possibly June, I'm waiting for July.

Hubby and I had bacon for breakfast...keeping those wrinkles away

 

[betty rose]

Oh my goodness! Now THAT was a find!! I can't even imagine how much nicer the parks would look in that older book, without all the kiosks, etc. cluttering up the views; I'll bet there's a few benches to sit on in those photos, too?!!

Also, just the term, "coffee table book" is something I haven't heard for quite some time. I recall my mother used to always have a coffee table book displayed nicely, in the livingroom. We had a few of them with different subjects, and she'd rotate them from time to time. Maybe it's just my imagination, but I associate coffee table books with a less hectic, non-connected (i.e. electronic devices, etc.) time in my life. Nice memories . . .

So pretty.

lets agree to disagree.

Ugh. I'm back and forth here between the computer and watching the news on tv downstairs. Saw the news story about the Amtrak derailment in Philadelphia. Five killed and 136 in hospitals. Dreadful.

was it human error or something?

I havent looked into the news yet.

 

[Cesar R M]

I'm in complete agreement with that!



I'm thinking something like this.

I pass on your suggestion and Take Jennifer's samples

I dunno but the 60's clothing is a big turn off for me lol.
Could be because of the over cheesy music groups from that time.

I liked those cheesy groups.

This sounds like an answer I get from my 8th graders when I quiz them on metric conversion!

This sign is super funny, it sounds like something I would say to my students when they do something dumb that I warn them not to do. Like when they are tipping back on their chair and I have repeatedly asked them not to do that, and then they fall backwards, I usually ask how the chair is. Then I check out the student to see if they are okay.

just remember.. real tacos should never be microwaved.. but reheated in a oven if they're mostly dry.

The tortilla, like the bread.. gets soggy and disintegrates after reheating it on the micro.

Good tip! I usually have them in the oven or fried! I don't fry them but a local bar does a taco night on Thursdays and they deep fry the tortillas. They are delicious, maybe that should be dinner tomorrow. And they are huge tacos for $2.

Of course you are.

It was called "Cookie Monster" - basically an Oreo milkshake. Not very large, but dang, it was good!
