I was eating at Jack in the Box while reading this! JitB has a Simpson's Halloween "Treehouse of Horrors" menu for a limited time. I had a "Krusty Burger of Terror".
Wish I woulda had eggrolls.
We had some good Thai food, including spring rolls, in the pub at Glenrowan.
One thing mum and dad are loving about where they are living now is the ginormous lunch they get. Most of the time they are given an extra portion each that they take back to their flat and have for dinner that night. They get these meals for around $45 a week each. Not bad considering they get roasts, pasta, chops… all sorts of foods.
My former post reminded me that my dear waitress Margaret has been in the hospital with pneumonia, hopefully out of ICU by now. I asked about her on Wednesday and when I was told she was in the hospital, knowing her health history, I asked if she had pneumonia and sadly I was right. Hopefully, she will recover, regardless if she's able to come back to work in the near future or not. We did meet another good waitress on Wednesday and I had my usual chopped chicken and sides. The dogs have enough left for one more treat of chopped chicken.
My (bio) dad used to make "refrigerator stew", although it actually lived in the freezer. Basically, any moderately neutral left-overs went in the pot, and when it got about half full, he'd pull it out and simmer it for several hours. It was almost always tasty, but a truly random combination. It would frequently end up with beef, pork, and poultry in it, as well as green beans, peas, carrots, celery, potatoes, mushrooms, etc.
Bon marché!
My mum used to do that too. I grew up with meals like steak and kidney and liver and bacon. You certainly kept quiet if you got one of those pieces.
