Happy Thanksgiving! Our dinner consisted of turkey breast, mashed taters, cinnamon carrots, green beans and Verna’s Thanksgiving Dressing all topped with her killer turkey gravy. We’re all stuffed now. Not shown are the dinner rolls and cranberry jelly. :) Click on the image to enlarge.

Sunday Dinner

Lots of football today, but I took time to grill a ribeye steak (bone-in) to compliment Verna’s baked potatoes and poached asparagus. What you see here is actually two meals since we split it and still had leftovers. Click on the image to enlarge.

Pasta PrimaVerna

Verna took some ideas from one of the Food Channel chefs and whipped up this wonderful chicken/zucchini/asparagus fettuccine Alfredo which we dubbed “Pasta PrimaVerna.” Excellent!

Nostalgic Drive-in Restaurant

Verna and I went off of our normally conservative low-cholesterol and low-fat diet regimen today in order to patronize Screamer’s, the old-time drive in diner in town. We went the whole route and ordered a cheeseburger with fries and a vanilla milk shake. Even though we split the burger and tossed half of the fries up in the wash for the critters, we felt quite full after enjoying a taste from the past. Click on the image to enlarge.

Meatloaf

Nothing to report other than good food, good football and a good weekend. Hope yours was as enjoyable. Clickable image: home cooked meatloaf with sauteed mushrooms and gravy, mashed taters and cinnamon carrots. Yum!
