Celebration Weekend Recap
It's Monday again. How do they keep coming faster? Did you get a lot done this weekend or spend it getting into mischief? We started off the weekend right with a Friday night viewing of Spaceballs to honor the newly released news of Spaceballs 2 . It was kind of funny because all I could hear during the movie were the times my dad laughed at certain parts when we went to see it in theaters. I'm glad I have a few good memories like that of him. Several weeks ago, the Mr saw some travel article about an old school donut shop he wanted to go to sometime. (We're suckers for the old school places over the decorate a crappy cake donut places.) This was how he wanted to celebrate his well earned victory on his test last Thursday. We were on the road pretty early. I knew it was supposed to rain in the morning but we didn't care for the dubious looking clouds. It went from ominous to sheeting rain: It got to 5 ft visibility at one poin...
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?
