I have this craving for Chicago-style hot dogs. Can you fix me up tomorrow? (sport peppers optional for anyone else--they can have mine, too, if they want!)

Tom-Did you remember that Christmas is coming in less than two weeks?
As if you didn't have any else to do. Glad to hear that the whole relocation business is moving along as fast as it is. I am sure you and your family will be happy to get settled in.

Stew and biscuits are ready!! THINK Mookie might have gotten
some before she went home; but just in case, put some back for her
for tomorrow!

I have such a good time washing dishes that even with an industrial dishwasher, I am soaking wet! Kind of my own pool party!

Morning everyone. Fixing up the regular breakfast menu orders as we
speak.

Mookie: Okay, you can do the beef stew, and I'll make a BIG batch of
biscuits. Seems the weather is going into the deep freezer for us all,
so we will need plenty of stew, soups, etc. for us to warm up our cold
selves. And yes, Mookie, you can do the dishes if you want: that's one
thing Mutt doesn't like to do: it hurts his back WAY too much to bend
over the sink.

Oh good for Matt - my folding skills aren't the best! Maybe he can do a fan? Or maybe just a wad would be best? They will just get wadded up anyway! Save some time!

CW - advance notice - Must fix beef stew and biscuits this week. I can do the stew, but you will have to do the biscuits - baking isn't my best talent. Actually, nothing domestic is, but will do a little cooking! Would rather do dishes, but then what would Mutt do?

I'm a little late - but Good Luck Marty! I am glad you are going to stay in the same line of work! Do stop in once in awhile and let us know how it is going. And watch those "finners"....

Mook!

N o r o o m f o r m o r e f o o d ! ! ! Too many parties this weekend. In recovery mode rest of week - eat light and make space for holiday dinner.

Drove to Southern Tier in light mist, drove home in remnants of snow on wet roads that always had the possibility of going icy. No fun!. Snowing now, but not sure how much we're gonna get.

Tom, that must have been your supper at home: I only fixed the fried chicken
at the diner. But meat loaf doesn't sound half bad, either!! Guess I'd better
fix that tomorrow at the Diner so Mookie can have some!
