Good morning everyone! Brian, did you find you some dessert in the fridge?
And Andrew, I made extra coffee this morning, just so you come have some
extra.
Juice is ready, as well as coffee and tea (regular & herbal on the tea).

Breakfast this morning: The good ole fashioned kind: little bit of everything
has been fixed this morning. Turkey bacon, ham w/red eye gravy, sausage
and biscuits & gravy, toast, cinnamon toast, French toast, scrambled eggs,
grits, fried potatoes, hash browns, and pancakes.

I'd thought I would work on my music last night. I got so involved I forgot to check the time. Little did I know I would go to bed at 4:30am.

I'm rather tired but satisfied with my music finally after a long writers block.

Another day in Fantasyland!

Coffee and cantaloupe, please.

State Fair, Labor Day, School and first UNL Football game - all smells of September!

I gotta head for the hammock - it is taxing my delicate nervous system.....

Ah Ha! Was "scrubbling" around in the cleaning closet for "supplies" and ran across a lonesome blueberry muffin. CW, you gotta start making notes where you hide things! It must have been a couple of hours old.....RIP.....

Yum! (Except the burgers--they're still off my menu, for at least another day or two).

Yes and no. I settled for some toast with butter and cinnamon/sugar on it, one of my favorite late-night snacks, especially when it's made using that home-baked bread!

Well, since it looks like no one ate lunch today, how about this for supper?

tuna melt sandwiches and fries. And the peach cobbler w/ice cream for
dessert.

Ed, could I invite Mutt and myself to your house for supper?? Guess we'd have to
fly down, since we don't have passenger train service here anymore. And I'll
bring you a peach cobbler, too.

Since we're not McDonalds, I'll do the diner version: bacon, egg & cheese
sandwich: you can have it on two slices of bread, or a hamburger bun.

Also for breakfast: sausage and biscuits & gravy.

Joe! We had a great rain overnight! It is headed your way, but maybe it will get there either early or late! It is a little noisy, but the rain is most welcome!

Well, Joe, I guess you could hope for just a "little" bit of rain, so it doesn't mess
up the football game for you all.

And Mookie, maybe you'll like lunch and supper menu better: I'm making a
big pot of chicken and dumplings. And for dessert, there's a choice of the
following: apple pie, chocolate pie, chocolate cake, white cake, yellow cake,
pecan pie: all with or without ice cream.

To whom it may concern:

This is to inform all cooks, chefs, and super chefs that the temporary dietary restrictions in force for the past week or so are, due to the completion of tests, completely lifted.

Let's eat!

(CW, hand me that frozen chili, please--I'll nuke that for lunch! Should have all flavors mixed together pretty thoroughly--it was the mild stuff, right?)

Mookie, dear, you don't have to get Carl's chilli I put back for him: there's a
large container of chilli in the freezer. Just paw into it.

(P.S. There's a container of c&d in the fridge, Mookie, with your name on it:
so you and Driver can have some over the weekend).
