dinner

Tonight Bill made taco burgers.

Except they didn't taste like tacos. They tasted like burgers. I guess that means he's just going to have to try again.

For our side, I made beer-battered onion rings. The recipe is also for beer-battered apple rings but I've never made those. Tonight, I decided to use up a couple of apples that I've had sitting in the fridge. What better way to use them then deep-frying them?

While the apples could have been a little more fresh and crisp, the concept was delicious. I sprinkled them with cinnamon and sugar. It was like dessert.

It was also a bonus because I only had part of an onion. Rather than cut up a whole one and have too many onion rings, or cut the old one and part of a new one, the apples rounded out the quantity.

Now to get the taco burgers down pat… pun intended.

gettin' ready...

We are getting in good practice for when we are old enough for AARP memberships.

We had eaten dinner and were sitting around by 5pm.

We worked hard today. Bill ripped out the snowball bush in the front garden. I scrapped more paint off the windows.

By 4:30pm we were hungry. So we started dinner.

I really don't think either of us paid much attention to the actual time.

We paid attention to our stomachs.

I asked Bill if he wanted to play Scrabble or Cribbage. He said, "No. I don't want to play Scribbage or Crabble."

Hm, perhaps we will sit around inventing these new games!

In case you were wondering, we had bacon cheeseburgers with onion rings for dinner. Yum!

here's what's in store...

for the weekend.

Starting tomorrow evening, we'll be having Heather O. over for dinner. On the menu: Hamburgers (cheese optional), homemade baked beans (the beans are soaking now), homemade potato chips, and strawberry shortcake.

Saturday, Heather W. will be coming for her traditional Memorial weekend visit. We have sandwich fixin's for lunch. For dinner we'll be having either steaks or ribs and whatever else we feel like eating. Then Sunday night dinner will be whichever meat is left over.

Extras include; corn dip, potato salad, onion rings, homemade biscuits, apple pie, and Bill's big Sunday breakfast. 

Oh yeah, we have salad fixin's too. 

And there will be ice cream!!!

Have a safe and fun weekend!

a week of sandwiches

"National" Sandwich week.

DayTwo

(I didn't blog about Day One, Bill and I had cheeseburgers)

We had the Mini Italian Subs that I made last week for lunch today.

In case you want to check out what we did last year, you can start by clicking here.

I have a conference this weekend, so Bill and I won't be having sandwiches together every day. Plus, Sandwich Week isn't Monday - Friday. I guess I could have made it M-F since it's not an official holiday here in the U.S. but I didn't. So we'll just make do (or sandwiches) and live accordingly. Whatever that means.

I plan on having a sandwich for breakfast; an egg, cheese and croissant sandwich. That way, in case they don't serve sandwiches for dinner, I'll have already taken care of it. Saturday will also be questionable. I'll keep you posted.
