Burger patties from Fresh market smothered in onions: we will have fresh green beans with a bit of lemon juice, butter and garlic, glazed baby carrots and cottage cheese with fresh sliced peaches and strawberries.
The Colonel needs to come back from the dead and straighten out all the KFCs!
The last time I ate there the service was surly, the buffet table was a mess and they were dealing dope out the back door. That was over a decade ago. It's been a loss of a really decent franchise.
Today we're finally celebrating Bachelor Son's July birthday. I've always thought I was lucky to have our boy over the summer. That way I could always take all his rowdy little friends out to a park to celebrate.
It's been a special time for him since it coincides with the town's annual celebration with parades, ball games, carnival, beer garden and dance. I used to buy carnival ride tickets and take the party there. He and his friends used to participate in the Kiddy Parade and every year it was a big deal planning what he would wear and ride. It's also a time of reunion when people return to visit which is nice. He sees old friends.
He planned the menu with a few of his favorites: Reuben dip and crackers, ham, pea and fennel fettucine Alfredo, grilled chicken breasts, cheesy broiled garlic bread, "garbage" salad with bleu cheese. That is such a man's meal. No quiche to be found.
I can't wait to see the look on his face when he sits down to eat. Whenever a meal is made especially for him I can see the echo of his little boy's look of satisfaction and excitement flicker across his face. I love that!
And he will eat all that heavy food on a hot summer day then take seconds after the rest have all quit eating and, miracle of miracles, not gain an ounce. Forty-three but the metabolism slow down hasn't kicked in yet, lucky guy.
We are not birthday cake people so dessert is mint chocolate chip ice cream pie with a chocolate cookie crust and frosted with ganache. Whipped cream and hot fudge on top.
(I just realized yesterday that I have planned eighty-eight birthday parties for those two kids!)
