we were there for MK’s 25th anniversary, so we feel we should be there for the 50th. I wish we could go in October 2021, but that can’t happen.
We are such opposites here. I hate to cook and will use as many shortcuts as I can. Except for desserts. I love making desserts. I just hate cooking main meals.
Now y’all have me craving spaghetti and meatballs. Tonight’s dinner will probably be ham, Mac & cheese, and some sort of green vegetable.
It`s funny we all have our preferences. There are some desserts I make and enjoy them, but I much prefer cooking meals and making up appetisers. Savoury has always been a preference. I am not the best baker, everything turns out fine, but so many of my friends are fabulous bakers.....let them that do it best do it....
I am however making a caramel apple crumble tonight, I like doing that, but that`s so easy. One of the desserts I`ve tried that didn`t turn out the best, was making profiteroles from scratch to make a Croquembouche....very time consuming and looks so good! But my choux pastry was a little....not quite right!! It was eaten but I did get teased a lot about that one! I`ll stick to ice creams, pies and cheesecakes!
A trip will still be nice to plan whenever it happens. Hope you enjoyed that mac n cheese.
Both stellar choices. I’m reverting to its 90, stove will be untouched. Well did make bacon when jr breezed by at 11 am
tomorrow, up with birds for road trip here to poke around with oldest DS family. I’m mentally drooling over that yummy Amish food I hope is in abundance. Taking the truck JIK something large calls to me

The only 90`s we`ll have here is the amount of rainy days!!!!
That looks like a lot of fun to visit! And Amish food too......sounds a lovely way to spend the day, make sure you buy something nice!!!
Safe travels Keisha. Yep, we live about an hour and a half drive from PA Amish. Older one is fond of their egg potato salad. We can get it at an Amish market less than an hour drive from home. Where I get my eggs, and sausage that older one likes.
Steak on the grill was very tasty. Added some peppers and onions, and tossed on a tortilla. Added cheese, and dinner served. Full, and relaxing with some tea now.
Went to the mall, just before dinner, as had to pay my bill. We started to walk around after I paid it, and left not much after one level, as way too crowded. At least I got done what I had to. I guess with the stores opening this week, free AC and out of the house was on way too many minds this Thursday evening. Not at the grocery or big box store today, thankfully.
Yay! No alarm needs to be set tonight. Yeah, my head will most likely get me up around the time the alarm would sound. Difference is, like this morning, no need to be moving fast.
Terrific Thursday to all the homies. It’s hot out, so throw back the beverage of your choice. Keep hydrated in this Summer heat.
I`m exactly the same Lynne.....no alarm needed usually! Enjoy that special long weekend, glad you have some lovely weather too. It`ll be just take out for us Saturday night as we can`t have the party we were hoping to have.....it`ll keep!
Food sounds so good........
Bought the pooch a thunder vest. Supposed to help with the Firework induced anxiety. Never an issue in the past with him, but it’s now off & on all night long, for months.
It’s not dry here, yet, but have big meadow in the middle of nearby woods. Yep, clueless people light them off there. I’m told carloads of people are pulling up pre dusk at small playground/ball field two blocks away. Then, they walk into the woods to reach the field & to set up for the night. No idea if police have been informed or not, that’s the township’s coverage age, who rely on state police after 5 pm. Going to guess it’s considered a low priority for them.
So, we’ve got: trespassing on private property, disregarding brush fire concerns & somehow blithely ignorning the natural gas wells located there. I’d deem it natural selection
but it’s a little too close to my house for comfort. Already had one brush fire last year that I could see from my house before the local fire department managed to extinguish it. Smell was awful for days.

That is a great dish! I hadn’t realized that Ohio has a enclave that’s far closer to us than the big one in our own state. We have a few small areas under an hour north east of here but they are very reclusive, no commerce.
Figure no traffic, little over an hour’s drive...well, if we don’t get stuck behind any buggies. Hoping to find a nice country ham, the kind u have to soak pre cooking. They are nearly impossible to get in our area under best circumstances.
Hope all have a lovely weekend.
Yep, some animals have a terrible time with fireworks.....same with some folks with PTSD too. I hate hearing them, pretty as they are, thankfully we don`t have them this weekend. But, there`s always one. Not so much where we are now, but in the place we used to live it was competition city to see who could have the loudest and longest displays from certain families. Downtown Beirut would have been a more peaceful place!
Yes, the Darwin award people seem to be out in force at certain times of the year......hope there`s no damage around you.
Love those hams!! We can order them from our butcher and always a popular choice when I do one!!
I want to visit Keisha this July 4th
......food is always outstanding and plentiful!!!!! Have fun today and a lovely weekend
Yep, it is still raining here this morning......doubt it`ll stop anytime soon. No high temps here this weekend!
Today, got some laundry to do, and not much else! Housework is all done and sadly guest rooms will remain empty as no July 4th party with friends is going ahead now! Such a shame as we were all looking forward to it. So much opening up over here this weekend and the worry is some pubs will be overwhelmed by folks rushing to go for the first time in months.
Our local ones are opening for limited hours, but we are quite a small place......towns and cities will be different. We`re in no rush to go to the pub. Maybe in a few weeks we`ll go back for a meal.....during the week when its quieter as many are back at work now.
Chicken curry has been requested tonight.....will make a madras style, I do have a couple of jars of lime pickle tucked away somewhere and plain old rice I think.
Lunch is turkey sandwiches.....simple but so good!
Bacon up soon.................
