Hi Shawn,
RH> I know, I've had food like that before. Other side of the coin is
RH> that the side is dished up, then they cook the meat, leaving the side
RH> cold. I've had that happen too--and sent the side back to be
RH> reheated.
SH> Yeah that's not good either. We've been cooking at home more then
SH> going out. Since my birthday is today and it's too close to our
SH> Thanks- giving, we celebrate thanksgiving with you guys.
It'll be a bit late because we're on the road but hope the birthday was
happy. We're on our way up to western NY to visit Steve's mom and
siblings for a few days. Brought the camper so we can do our own meals
except for a night out with the family and maybe a stop at our favorite
sushi place.
SH> However, I wanted turkey so I bought a nice turkey breast, a couple
SH> sweet 'taters, box of GF stuffing (lazy) and a can of cranberry.
SH> That will be our dinner tomorrow. On teh BBQ if we stay here in the
SH> woods. I'm fine, but Andrea may not be able to handle the cold, she's
SH> on her way here now.
It has cooled off down here too; no more false fall--we're in the real
thing. Interesting to see the leaves turning more and more colorful the
further north we go. Your turkey breast with stuffing meal sounds like a
good one for the weather but make my 'tater a while one please. (G)
SH> Today? Going gormet and gonna do weinies on a stick over the fire
and SH> cheesecake. hahahaha
We had hot dogs cut up into a can of beans over bread for supper, with
Mexican fruit ices (from Wal-Mart) for dessert. I was able to heat the
beans and hot dogs in a frying pan on the camper's stove but we used
paper/plastic tableware so it was an easy clean up.
RH> OUCH!! That hurts. What kind of an industry were you in and couldn't
RH> you get training in something else? Not sure how Canadian laws work
RH> for something like that so I may just be pipe dreaming.
SH> I owned taxi's. The illegal company uber took that business over. I
SH> have training in other things, so I'm at a desk for a company but they
SH> don't pay near as much as I made before illegal taxi's came to the
SH> areas.
Sigh!
RH> Is Andrea affected the same way or does she have a separate credit
SH> We keep finances seperate. She currently has a very high credit
SH> score, and no debt. (Other then student loans). My score is still
SH> very high becuase I am making all my payements, just means we'll never
SH> get ahead.
Running hard just to stay in place.
RH> foods we need to pack. We'd left some things in from our trip to TN
RH> to bring out quite as much, do need to get some eggs to pack.
SH> Pack some warm clothing too. Here in Ontario it's pretty darn chilly
SH> and as the crow flies we're very close to NY.
Believe me, we do have warm stuff packed! Checked out the long range
forecast and threw in long sleeve shirts, jeans, a heavier weight jacket
and so on. Going to have some rain the early part of the week too,
hopefully not as hard as we had in Tennessee.
RH> ... It isn't hard to meet expenses...they're everywhere!
SH> Laugh! Stolen.
Thought you would like it. (G)
