I couldn’t put the food out fast enough. Thankfully, I prepared most of it at home so I didnt have to spend the entire day cooking at the cabin My sister was the ultimate housewife. In addition to the cooking she made all the families clothes. 2 Blue Ribbons from the Texas State Fair. After the kids were out of the house she worked at the Beale's department store in Kilgore until she was 90. Everyone in town knew and loved her. She always overwhelmed me with her joy and energy. If she was a standard that we all had to meet there would be an order of magnitude more suicides. Us mear humans just do the best we can and from what I hear,you're the best dad a kid could ask for. She must have been a real Texas Lady! You know what I mean. I am not sure they are made anymore?

Grilled chicken sandwich, fries, and three cups of strong diner coffee before a grueling 3 hour day of office hours.

Lunch was more than I planned on. Pork Lo Mein. Home made. So good. I made it with left over smoked pork ribs from the weekend. Our local market makes them without any sauce added, just spice rub. So, they an be adapted to many dishes. They sure work well in a wok with vegies and noodles.

Ron, did some news service do a story about her retirement? I remember seeing something similar to that.

She could be peacefu, calm and reverent and a moment later you could hear her laugh a block away. Or her fussing. She was 29 years older than me so she didn't hesitate to correct me. Ouch! 😁

Cornbread, red beans and Spam. Nap ran over long and I had to throw something together. Really good though. 😋

Old German. The flavor is sweet, mild and fruity. No traditional red tomato flavor here. More like a dessert tomato.
Very similar to mid 1800’s Livingston’s Golden Queen, Hillbilly potato leaf, and Big Rainbow.

Breakfast of two eggs with Pico de Gallo. Small ham slice, two Spam slices for comparison with Spam, potato patty. Conclusion, they taste close enough to be indistinguishable. The Spam is tougher, at least the lower fat Spam.

Finishing up some cheesy scrambled eggs and pear slices. I never thought of pears with eggs or in breakfast. What an interesting idea. I will have to try that. Thanks for the tip. You have given me an idea to try sliced apple in place of taters.

You have given me an idea to try sliced apple in place of taters. It's a way of getting in some of my daily fruit and a good substitute for carbs.

A small salami and provolone cheese sandwich on crusty bread roll baked yesterday. Snow's Manhattan Clam Chowder with extra vegies. The salami was Hungarian Paprika Salami made in the USA and it is excellent.

Had Hormel packaged Italian roast beef and gravy last night with Bob Evens loaded mashed potatoes. Bought fried chicken from the deli at the grocery store yesterday but it didn't make it home for some reason, so we had the above meal instead. Took 10 minutes to heat and fix a salad. Good too.
