That's Not What He Got Weekend Recap
Good Monday morning to you! I hope your weekend was slow and your coffee /tea is strong to start another week. Last week the poor Mr was run through it at work. Every single day was call after call, new stuff piled on (which he's fine with but never happens in a dump like this) and a new boss was named so that's always an interesting thing to contend with even if you know them. (I've seen people go from perfectly fine to ripping off their face to reveal a reptilian creature underneath V style so I'm hoping that's not the case for the Mr.) All he wanted was a nice relaxing weekend to recoup from it all. That's not what he got. It seemed to start off fine with him suggesting a soul food place and their website was all messed up so we couldn't really place an order. He called saying their site says they're out of a ton of crap and the guy said they weren't so we thought that meant they were turning on the site. It's not on our side of town s...
Yes several people made sure to tell me that I needed to try the noodles. Thankfully they're good or I would have offended some people LOL. For me the must have dish was my Grandma's pecan swirl rolls... But many years after she passed O learned that they were just store bought that she modified so there isn't really a recipe and I've never really had them like that since, but it sure meant a lot to me as a kid. It just wasn't the holidays without those.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... aside from specific cookies mom made as a kid for Christmas, nothing specific comes to mind. Beef crown roast or some kind of beef roast for Christmas, but we'd have roast at other times too. I guess my dad's stuffing he made from scratch would be for Thanksgiving, and probably Christmas, but I'm not totally sure on that.
ReplyDeletePerogi that my grandmother made from scratch. Potato & cheese, sauerkraut. She'd fry them with butter & onions. We only had them at Christmas. They were a lot of work. None of my friends ever even heard of them. But now I see them in the frozen food section at the grocery stores.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever picked some up to see if they taste anywhere near Gram's?
