Let him experience for the first time the deliciousness of a frozen TV dinner. Salisbury steak with gravy and a brownie, turkey, stuffing and smashed potatoes or perhaps, fried chicken with peas and carrots and an apple turnover. Mmmmmmmmmm
The Apple Turnover - as a kid that thing was gold!1

I made Tacos again
 
Okay so all of you are not allowed to say anything!!
My son said that he does not like tacos??????
I'm completely crushed and flabbergasted :astonished-face: :crying-face::astonished-face::astonished-face:
It’s cause it’s ur fav I bet. They know how to punch-gut!

I remember, as a kid, my parents getting a baby sitter and me, my brother and sister would get to pick the tv dinner we wanted. They came with tinfoil covering them and placed in the oven. It was a treat!
 
breakfast ...now y'all are hungry again... ;) :)

I need those right now!! French toast is my absolute favorite- my Grandpa owned a diner (Greek,,go figure), and he would make us French toast when we stayed at the house. He was very strict and spoke mostly in Greek; but when he was the Chef, he was all smiles

Don't know why it is called french toast, 1st time I saw it, it was abroad. Double thumbs up for Greek food.
 
Oh I forgot to update everyone on my visit to the migraine specialist. He gave me a preventative medication to try at night that hopefully will help and if it didn't there are other things we discussed trying. He also recommended a few things I'm going to try to relieve tension in my shoulders and neck a few are exercises and another is getting a neck hammock and trying it a couple of times a day.
Wonderful, he went preventative - and glad he’s recommending all the other things that either alleviate or soften the symptoms

I’ve done a lot of research, it was developed by the famous french chef Jon Luke Picard, yes the same chef that cut potatoes into small strips and deep fried them bringing the world the most famous comfort food, french fries!

It is normally around 5am when I am here for the first time each day. Currently it's 7:36am and I'm getting ready to walk into work.
