We had our New Year’s meal on the 1st. We actually found hog jowl this year. I fixed pork chops, turnips, black-eyed peas w/hog jowl, mashed potatoes and rolls. I also put in some hog jowl with the turnips too…maybe that will help bring more good stuff for the new year…ha.
We were going to meet Hubby at IH0P when we got back to town on New Year’s Eve but they were already closed. :( Hubby did buy a bottle of champagne to open at midnight. We toasted the New Year with a few sips…maybe it tastes better with chocolate covered strawberries… The rest is taking up space in the refrigerator.
Now to present day…Hubby and I went out to eat Friday night. I was craving some Mexican food. I didn’t see what I wanted on the menu…(I wanted what I had the last time we went to the Mexican restaurant at Mom’s) I told them what I wanted and they came pretty close…it was good. I think Mom likes to go there because she has a crush on the cute young waiter there…ha.
The girls have another shortened week this week. No school today or Friday. Well Jarin doesn’t have a class on Friday so hers is always a shortened week.
You in the snow states, push some of that snow to the south…but stop it at the Florida line, I don’t want to make Jack mad… : D Happy Birthday Jack!!
Take care,
Sheila
Just about time you caught up!!! As you have probably figured out I don't care much for facebook so I have been doing better with my blog. You southerners have the wierdest taste buds for New Years. I think we had hot dogs. We have BD cake coming out our ears.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are catching up. You know the last two times I've been to eat Mexican food that cute little guy wasn't there I bet he had to go back to school. lol.
ReplyDeleteWe got the weed and feed put out and i used the gator to prune up the fig tree maybe can see around it this summer if the cold doesn't kill it. Take care, love you, mom
I hope the Hog jawl works. For the last few years we used some kind of pork to take it's place, we just played like it was hog jawl. hahaha. Jean is one cute girl, but she had better quit flirting with the young mexican kids, he might want someone to make him legal. haha!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was funny Jean said she met old friends that she hadn't seen in a long time and they recognized her. That I don't doubt, it is amazing she has the exact features shown in that cute picture on your blog.
Grover is a lucky guy and he knows it. Y'all take care, glad you got mom on the blogger circuit.
Take care and stop that silly snow dancing stuff, there is a draft down here, you or my sister are bad influences!!!
lol...We're expecting some of the white stuff later tonight...mixed with water. Do you want that too? :)
ReplyDeletewow wish i could have been there for that feast!
ReplyDeletei love everything you mentioned. hee hee hee
you folks really deserve all the good things in life , i say.
your mom is a beauty, in fact you took after her.
please tell her that i too am a sucker for a young cute waiter. especially if they have a nice personality. whew do i leave a good tip!
you and your family are a good example to me because you love each other and know that is important in life.
so glad to have you as a friend these many years.
do you even know what an accomplishment that is for me?
do you even know what a testament to you that is?
love that "ha" of yours, jun
