Chinese tonight!

My mom is cooking tonight - macaroni and meatballs in her homemade gravy. I have to say, I make a pretty decent gravy, but it doesn't even come close to hers. I can't wait until dinner.

Mr. Babe, however, is smart enough (and a good enough liar) to say that he likes mine better.

I ordered a pizza from East Of Chicago tonight.

You gotta walk an extra two miles after that, Mig.

Tell me about it. I didn't walk last night so I'll have to walk 5 miles after dinner tonight.

Portillo's Chili dogs day before yesterday, then pepperoni, sausage, green peppers pizza and garlic knots yesterday, and not sure about tonight.

Pepto Bismol?

We went to a mom and pop's place I had a salad and a couple bites of lasagna(sp)

When we got home I walked 3 miles tonight.

Tastes good, but not very filling.

I had spicy garlic chicken with fried rice, carrots, broccoli, baby corn, and water chestnuts

At the OTB tonight I saw they had "homemade meatballs" on a sub... figured I'd try it (can't find a decent freakin' *real* meatball anywhere around here!) ... does "homemade" mean plopping a few out of a freezer bag, then nuking them in the microwave? They did taste A LOT better than most, though! So maybe they were homemade then frozen... not too bad, like the usual gelatinous bread/fat-mush balls you usually find around here...

Last night we had spaghetti and asparagus. Very nice!

Tonight may be Chinese again....

I made the Col. homemade veggie soup I wasn't to hungry so I just had a small bowl of a garden salad.

I made noodles in a butter cream sauce and some spinach and Mr. Babe grilled porterhouse steaks on the grill. OMG! They were outrageously good.

Just had sweet and sour chicken with rice!

I went straight to my younger son's baseball game after work. My wife was there and told me that my older boy was given the duty of making dinner for his little sister and himself. When we got home, we saw what he prepared: spaghetti and french fries.

We went Here tonight. Boy did I pig out.

I'm going to defrost some country style ribs and marinate them all day.

Save some for me!!!

C'mon up, take a dip in the pool while you're here. I have a lovely Cabana Boy who will serve us drinks while we lounge.

Thanks... but I'll pass. I heard that your cabana boy shoots out eyes.

MMMMMMMMM. I have a pack in my freezer now. I might stop buy the store tonight and pick up something to marinate them in tomorrow for dinner tomorrow night.

Great. Now I have a bad urge for ribs.

(I like the baby backs, though).

Baby backs are good, but you haven't tasted mine after they've marinated all day in my secret sauce, which includes a healthy shot of cognac. Let the drooling begin!

Edit: Beth, you're invited, too. Bring your bikini!

That was an accident. Since we've had his thong adjusted, he's been working rather smoothly.

I heard your cabana boy stuffs his thong with a potato.

He gave himself away when he put the potato in the back.

I'll check the bus schedule to see when the next one's due. Maybe I'll get lucky and catch the $1.00 bus.

But as far as the bikini.... they'll be enough pork showing, thank you very much.

SC, I would think a banana would work better, plus it adds to the whole tropical theme.

Beth, I heard that bus is up to $1.50 already. Hurry and catch it quick!

On a side note, my daughter had put on a great deal of weight last year, a side effect of a medication she was on. Since she stopped taking it, and has been very careful about what she's been eating, she's lost over 40 lbs. She told me that her old clothes and bathing suits are HUGE, just ENORMOUS, like that Subway ad with Jared and his HUGE clothes, and then said, "You can have them, Mom. They'll fit you."

Whats with this $1 bus??

The last time I wore a bathing suit was some years ago. It was an old man's suit, but fit nicely. I tried it on last year and it fit me like a Speedo.

Now there's a picture that will be with me longer than I would have liked! Hint, hint, SC. It's the internet. You can LIE about physical appearances.

I saw something on the news about a company, megabus.com, that's a private bus company that leaves from only one place in Baltimore to New York starting at $1.00. They have no ticket agents and only operate via phone and internet.
