Rib eyes grilled on the BBQ with fresh yellow squash and homemade cole slaw. Yum!

Well yes the spaghetti, but I enjoy the Kraft Tangy spaghetti with some white rice and soy sauce on it. It comes in a package for only about 1.70 and about .50 for the sauce with the rice as an extra. Cheap meal yes but I am going to have this tomorrow on my 71st birthday. First one celebrating alone. Tough week - spent about20 hours this week hefting food at the food pantries, but it sort of gives a good feeling. Notice am more tired now after a week of work but pushing it. Working with weights to try to bulk up and think that is the reason, but am going to push more and more. Lots to do. Anyway if you want a really good spaghetti dinner try this. No garlic bread tho, just the white rice. Maybe add a full helping of broccoli, which I will do.

Friend Tom will soon turn seventy-one.
Even now he sees work to be done.
Like a human gantry,
Hoists crates in the pantry,
His service to Man has just begun!


Things havecome full-circle, dude! One of my first posts, in March 2010, was a poetic response to a similar one of yours about St. Patrick!

Happy Birthday, Tom!

Kraft Tangy Spaghetti??!! I LOVE this kit! Sooo yummy! There was a Kraft spaghetti dinner that was in a red box that had the sauce already made - they have apparently stopped making that product, to my complete dismay frown

I am also on the hunt for Chef Boy Ar Dee boxed lasagna, but I think they discontinued that one, as well. frown

Haha I hear you, girlfriend. It's because your super smart (that's what I'm telling myself).

I was actually wondering if it was ice cream or that shaved ice that's so popular during the summers. My kids loved this, and would do any chore to get the treat. The easy days. smile

I thought it was pretty funny if it really was ice for dessert. laugh

NG,

You need to write a screenplay or open a restaurant where you are! Thank you for your expression because I was feeling a little down on birthday. For me it's the wishful thinking of you've done this but you haven't done that yet! And yea, you can't work in a food pantry unless you heft boxes and cartons. Not a bad deal tho - I've been working out and the lifting is helping with that. When I get to 2 pushups I'll let you know..*s*. Honestly, I was feeling a down because I was expecting more recognition and it's not there, and rightly so That is me, and I am working on that because there are a couple of people upstairs - like Mary and Jesus - who don't want to hear that crap from me~.

The best part of all this NG is the people I've met in the last year.. They are not FB friends or anything like that (don't even have FB). They are face-to-face friends and acquaintances who I have met and worked with during this time. These are not paid jobs, so you do realize why the other persons are there! Think I can count about 25 or so new friends in this regard.

Also, as you and others have most likely noticed, I do like to chide and needle for a purpose. And, I know some will say 'get out of here', but I don't go on social websites like this. So, this site, and my occasional posts are my way of chiming in to attempt to bring true huger to the forefront. As far as the invitation to the deaconate, well this I my time to indicate whether or not I can do he physical service on an ongoing basis.

NG, you take care,

Tom

Marital Wow good to hear you again! Most likely you thought I was dead! The Chef Boyardee are great package dinners, but am on to other things for several reasons. I really cant do the CBaredee and I don't want to try to recreate w/o her here. Have been focusing on the protein stuff for me (no Not the steroid protein) and power--up exercise Just makes me feel good and fit.

Marial despite the pizza stuff there is nothing more than I want than to hold Car at night close to me. I accept that what we always sdid isn't possible now. - she can't live independently with me or a caretaker cost would not be possible. Plan to visit her in August Marital.

Meantime, consider telling us about your favorite way of preparing salmon - have it at least once a week. Lots of protein.

Take care Marital

I was itching for some good cajun food last night, so I made crab cakes, cajun cheese grits, homemade hushpuppies, and cornbread.

It was so good! Not sure what we're doing tonight, probably pot roast.
