Happy Sunday, everyone! As usual, nothing planned around here today, but you never know.
Yesterday was supposed to be a quiet day also, but M&J sort of changed that around. They "accidently" bought 40 lbs of boneless chicken thighs. How that happened is a long story, but they asked if we wanted any. Of course we said yes and bought 10 lbs from them. They also bought a full head of filet mignon which they conveniently brought over for Bert to cut for them. He did a great job and they now have a pile of filets to cook on the grill. Afterwards Bert cut any fat from the chicken thighs and we now have 8 bags of thighs in the freezer. More yummy dinners ahead.
After they left, Bert & I finally went to DiCarlo's for dinner. As usual, it was delicious and we have lots of leftovers for tonight.
I think I told you that Elaine's son is getting married. Well, we got the "Save the Date" card yesterday with all sorts of information about the wedding. Talk about a Hoity Toity affair! Would someone please explain to me what FRENCH COUNTRYSIDE ATTIRE is? That's the dress for guests to wear. It's apparently one step below formal for women. Men just wear a dress shirt and pants. The wedding ceremony & reception are being held at a place called The White Room (Is that racist?) in St Augustine. I checked out their site and all I can say is $$$$$$! Good thing the bride's father is a surgeon. He's going to have to raise his prices to pay for this wedding. From what I can figure out, we're going to look like a bunch of country bumpkins. Just don't or can't put on the airs any longer!
There's a bridal shower for the couple at G&E's house next month for about 50 people. Not sure where they're going to put everyone, but it's a good thing that they have a pool. The middle of August in Melbourne Beach can be hotter than he!!. I already ordered a gift for them, but we might not go. Depends on what time the party is, as it's an almost 2 hour drive in each direction.
Karen - That's a fine looking group you had, even with the clown in front! I'm sure you had a glass or wine or 2 after that last session.
Dave - Glad the second batch of hot dog rolls turned out the way they were supposed to. Good for Kathi getting it right the second time and nice that you have some to freeze.
Lee - I hope your weather today is better than yesterday. Did I tell you that G&E have a hidden room too? They put it in when they did the renovations on their house. Being it's upstairs, I can't get to see it, but I did see pictures of it and it looks cool.
Kathie - Your cookies sound interesting. How do they taste? Did they get Art's approval? Sorry you're going to be getting more Canadian smoke today. Saw a picture yesterday of all the fires burning in Canada. Absolutely unreal! You'll have to keep the house closed up and the AC running.
Nancy - Hope you bought something good at Total Wines. You can really get lost there and spend way too much money. Enjoy the race.
Time for some lunch. Have a super afternoon, everyone!
