This is how to work it in these days of increased food prices!
Last night was Wednesday Night Supper and it was one of my favorites!
Baked ham, baked apples, baked potato chunks - so good together!
For $8, I got all that is visible: the dinner, a side salad, dessert, and drink.
Oh, but that wasn't all!
I sat with Jason Zimmer, on his own tonight as August had school.
After hearing me wax rhapsodic about the meal, he asked if I wanted a to-go box, as we had a lot of leftovers tonight.
(We had a couple of empty tables, unless last week.)
I gladly accepted and walked out of Holliday Hall with double portions of every part of the dinner itself!
Remember, pork products practically beg for something sweet to accompany them in the meal or follow them as dessert.
Those baked apples, doused with cinnamon, were just the ticket to include in that high-fiber tortilla!
That gave me plenty of energy for the final AARP meeting by Zoom... the final one of this year! Hahahaha!
The majority of us were there: me, Herbert and Brenda Singleton, Wanda Lloyd, Carolyn Barnett, Felicia Shuman, Jeannette Bacon, Janet Cuttray, Connie Cooper, and Sheila Bell.
Gabrielle had Wanda and I recap the events we'd spearheaded, naturally, and when it came time to comment on those mentioned that I wished everyone in our small group had shown support for those three events - MFG 1, the Estates Planning, and MFG2 - by at least registering for them.
Gabrielle agreed that we should do so in the future, even if we can't attend.
Support is a much-needed thing, and our small group should at least be able to do that one thing for each other.
Maybe that will happen as we have another opportunity to join all together next month at the Holiday Celebration!
No final word on where that will be, but the when is locked down: Dec. 10th.
That will be easy for me to remember, as Mama would have been 89 on that upcoming date.
It's hard for me to try to visualize her at that age.
I'm already five years older than she ever was.
Here's where I meant to be: talking about the ZOOM for week four of MOVE!
We covered Modules 5 and 7 today, all about nutrition and such.
I made Fabiana Carvalho laugh twice!
She had asked what food triggers make us overeat.
"I love pizza. It's my favorite food. So trying to find an alternative is tough!"
She sure liked that answer!
She always reads aloud the answers in the chat, and when she read that, she had laughed, saying "I like pizza, too!", and suggested having it with the cauliflower crust.
If only any of the local pizzarias served such a thing!
I'll miss seeing her next week, as she has a conference, so we won't meet again for this Savannah VA-sponsored event for two weeks.
I guess I'll have to plan something special for the 12th to occupy that time slot!
Then, I'm off to visit Godzilla in his latest movie!
I had not realized he's just four years older than me.
Happy 72nd birthday, you big galoot!!!
