We are back to above average temperatures again for at least a week. I'll get back outside to work on that jumble. The son sent me a text asking if we would like him to come with lunch on Saturday. Of course! A visit with food is always welcome.
Speaking, figuratively, of food, I really knocked out the culinary skills yesterday with dinner. Oven baked wings and a salad, what an accomplishment! Simple is an understatement, good is not an overstatement. I buy beef and pork through Butcher Box, an online seller of organic meat and chicken, as well as fish and seafood. I've done this for several years, long before the pandemic. I get free wings for life. Or as long as I keep buying and they keep selling.
I placed an order for 11 bottles of non-alcohol wine last week from an online business started by a couple of young Italian men. It came Wednesday. There is no real comparison to, say a chardonnay, but it is pleasant enough and I can feel like I am drinking my one-time favorite beverage. Well, wine and gin. My son wrote a poem, a class assignment, when he was in second grade. "My mother is so very thin, that's cuz she drinks a lot of gin." What his teacher must have thought!! Ah, life.

I always hope teachers know better than to believe half of kids stories!
Brings to mind old-time TV...do you remember Kids Say the Darndest Things--lol! Was that on Art Linkletter?
You must be going to be a little warmer south of us. We only expect a couple of days in the low 70s on Sunday and Monday. We could use some rain and it shows rain on the radar today but, so far, I haven't seen a drop. Just thick grey cloudy sky.
I do and it was Art Linkletter. Very funny! We have no rain forecast for as far out as the app goes. We need it.
Boud, I met her later at a parent/teacher conference. She didn't seem to think ill of me, but she may have been good at covering her thoughts!
I think we hear the same stories about teachers. I shared with my grandson's pre-k teacher that we hear everything she says to the class in the same tone of voice that she says it (we know he is quoting her when it is that voice, lol).
Your dinner looks FABULOUS!!!
Well, she probably had a sense of humor. Your dinner looks lovely.
I might have mentioned before that Jenny and I have given up alcohol. We decided it wasn't doing anything for us so why keep forking out such large sums? And we haven't relapsed yet!
That's funny, Miss Merry! Kids are creative, even when they don't know it.
She did, e. I remember I liked her. Matthew liked her.
I like wine, nick and can't really remember not having a wine glass in my hand at dinner as an adult. Even as a kid we were allowed a little bit of wine on holidays. I'm on 2 medications with a strong warning against alcohol and because they help me so much, I stopped drinking a year ago this month. Some zero alcohol fills the space a bit. It's not inexpensive!
I don't like much in the way of wine and rarely drink it, a visit with food is always good
Your son's poem was a gas! Of course I would be very happy to have that exact dinner. Milder here too and a good opportunity for getting things together outside. Enjoy lunch with your son!
At one time my culinary skills was pretty good. Now I wonder.
I've never tried the non-alcohol stuff, but I seldom drink wine or alcohol anyway.
When Kaitlin was in first grade her teacher told us parents. "I promise not to believe everything they say about you, if you promise not to believe everything they say about me."
Delicious food!! My grand daughter is visiting and made liver and onions for her Grandpa. She knew how to make it, but had never done it on her own yet. I assisted, but let her do everything.
She smoked things up a bit, but overall? It was delicious and SHE cooked a fav dish for her Grandpa to celebrate HER birthday!
How sweet was that?
Your meals always look so professional! YUM!
Oh and my son wrote a note in 1st grade and it was on his desk for open house.
"my mom is a good cook. she makes hotdogs."
A visit with food is good, Jo-Anne!
He was a real character when he was a kid, Lori. I like wings and I didn't feel like cooking, so it worked.
They are still there, Dora. Maybe rusty, but there.
They sat it tastes like wine, AC. It is pleasant but not wine.
That was a wise teacher, Cheerful!
😂 love it!! I used to, long ago, make that for Mark. I finally stopped, I can't even stand the smell of it. I told him it's bad for him anyway. Some seasoned and oiled wings put in a hot oven is sorta easy, Val! Good, too.
I laughed out loud when I read that bit about your son's poem. Too funny:)
