T Stands for Bison



After Himself's doctor's appointment, we stopped for lunch at Ted's Montana Grill in Westborough. I had my usual unsweetened ice tea with lemon. The waitress also placed on the table a small bowl of dill pickles which we made short work of.

The restaurant was busy, but not overly crowded. The service was a tad slow, but we didn't have anywhere else to be so we enjoyed a nice, leisurely lunch.

I remarked to Himself how I enjoy this pastime or hobby. That is making appointments or running errands close to lunch or dinner and then going out to eat. For some reason, it's been a while since we have been doing that.

For my appetizer I had a crab cake with kale salad and guacamole. The kale salad tasted like grass clippings. It mad me think of a line from some comedian that "salad is what food eats". The crabcake was delicious.


Besides beef, Ted offers bison which is leaner and contains more protein than beef. I had bison meatloaf with mashed potatoes and carrots. Himself had bison brisket with the same sides. Both were delicious. The portion was generous enough so I don't have to cook dinner tonight.


For dessert, Himself had a giant chocolate chip cookie. Oh, the table covering was a map of Montana.


I had cheesecake with a raspberry coulis

How Does Your Garden Grow?


Earlier this week, the big bunny came out to eat grassicles.


Brrrr. Winter is here.


The perfect day to stay cozy in bed.

The Friday Five Good Things


 Five good things that happened this week.

1. Good news, bad news. The new front doors arrived. The bad news, the company mixed up the doors. New doors ordered and will be installed in the Spring. 

2. The pantry is still organized.

3. We went to Beef's Qi Gong and Reiki Circle. Teague went, too.

4. Boot shoes that I liked went on sale.

5. Invited by a friend to attend his Fall Prevention Exercise Class via Zoom. 

How was your week?

TBT Reprints from CJ's Whine and Cheeze

  In 2003, Ma had a stroke. Dad was her full time caregiver until he he had a car accident that totaled the car. So in 2006, I became their chauffeur among other jobs.

At the time, to deal with the stress of running two households and working, I kept a blog entitled CJ's Whine and Cheeze. Egged on by some friends who enjoyed the first read through, you'll see your part when it comes by.

Himself Knows Best

I was relaxing in the sunroom, taking a well-deserved rest. I had me a week dealing with Prissy and her problems. You’ll recall the leaking pipe hysterics. Then there was a call because she had pressed several buttons on her channel changer and changed the picture to video snow.

The phone rang. Himself got up to answer it.

“That’s either The Eldest calling from work looking for a ride home or Prissy.”

“Herself is right here.” Himself handed me the phone and settled Himself in his La-Z-Boy.

I sighed. Prissy. I pantomimed hanging myself.

She had pressed the buttons on the channel changer again.

I looked to the heavens took a deep breath and counted to ten. “Open the front panel of the television and press the button on the far right side.”

She put the phone down, and I could hear her shuffle to the television.

“I did what you said, but nothing happened.”

I told her I’d be over. Hung up the phone and let out a feral yell. "Couldn't you have told her I was dead?"

Himself chuckled. “Cheer up. Soon you’ll be a Weeble, and you can call up people to aggravate them.”

Pictures from Ogunquit, Maine

 

On the way to Ogunquit, we always stop at Nubble Light in York, Maine. The lighthouse never gets old, but it was wicked cold. The gift shop was closed so we wouldn't have been able to buy another sweatshirt like we did in March. We were glad we had brought our Winter jackets.
