Hänchen-schnitzel, Mashed Potatoes, Asparagus with Mushroom Gravy

dc I know mushrooms are your kryptonite, apologies

Steve asked me to go down to the Fireside Public House when he got home from work.

Thursday night the burgers are ten bucks. Sure, I’ll go, not cook.

The chalkboard said Burger $10 but there was a little card inside the menu that said Monthly Special

Hänchen-schnitzel with mashed potatoes, asparagus and mushroom gravy.

It was a very satisfying meal.

Do You Grill?

It can be a noun and a verb. Summer seems to be Grill season although I know people who Grill year round. Even in the snow.

I don’t own a grill but when I saw this Grill display I thought it could be a blog post.

If you answer yes, what do you like to grill?

Rooftop Grill & an Unexpected Mishap

Plans Change

You think you’re on your way.
A family weekend, return the dog.
A full tank and bags packed.
You’re excited to go.
It’s been a long week.
But circumstances of traffic
and some guy going too fast-
wrong place wrong time
but you are there.
You’re not going anywhere.
It takes awhile to adjust.

Shot Friday after school.  Who knew in 10 minutes my Subaru Outback (3386 pounds) would be rear-ended by a Dodge Ram Pickup (4969 pounds) as I sat in traffic on the entrance to the Bloomfield Bridge.  Ouch.  I was headed home to get Murphy and head out to the family in Columbus. Never made it. Ended up in Shadyside ER with a neck sprain,  real sore from the jolt. Car undriveable. The paramedics were so nice.  I said, could you get the gray bag, with the camera?  And in the back, Could you get the green bag with my computer? oh and please, my suitcase?  They took it all with us to the hospital. Oh and the knitting bag, too.   I declare Friday April Fool’s my lucky day. Grateful this is not my final photo. No horses today. Glad I’m okay. Thought about posting the damaged car but decided it was unncessary. But you just never know what the day will bring.  Grateful it was no worse. My mother always said, “Cars can be replaced.”  Left the school bag and the lunch box and the gym bag in the car. And the white garbage bag of new Tupperware for Laura & Erika that Jenn had brought and left in my garage earlier this week.  The men asked me if I was going on a trip.  Well, I was…….

Hope I see someone grilling on this grill one day. Stay tuned.

Cooking Five Omelettes at One Time

UCONN-Rome dining hall Grillmeister cooking five omelettes simultaneously, while the fillings heat up under the small paper plates we’d each handed him with our filling choices.  His cooking skill was something to watch.  We had waited all week to get in the omelette line and today was the day.  Well worth the short wait. Back to oatmeal tomorrow before we leave.

Watching the grillmeister perform a synchopated omelette making.
You should have seen him twirl the spatula!
