I’m late! No, not that, I’m late in posting my weekly menu. But after last night’s disaster dinner, I’m glad to start with Tuesday. From time to time, we get chicken that’s been over-processed to the point where the meat is like rubber. Completely and absolutely disgusting. One bite and I spit the chicken out….
Last week, we went camping. When we lived in California, we took the 5th wheel out about once a month and thought we’d be back to the same living in North Carolina. We never banked on the weather…that said, heading south was the better alternative than heading north, where record colds were on the forefront,…

I am looking forward to this week. A week where there are no appointments and no commitments. A week to relax, enjoy Christmas, the lights, the movies, and the beauty. It’s the time before the last few days before Christmas, when we can soak up the true meaning of Christmas. It’s a week to enjoy…
