I don't know

It has been many years now that when the children hear the question: "What do you want to eat?", they no longer answer "I don't know". I have been known to prepare that very thing, "I don't know", in response to their response.

This dish, "I don't know", has taken on many incarnations, some good, some not so good. The contents of the refrigerator are fair game in the development of I don't know. If the particular incarnation of I don't know is particularly well received by the masses then it is renamed with something more palatable than I don't know. Egg pie was created in this very fashion.

There have been sometimes that even I, Larry, would not enjoy the consumption of the conglomeration of constituents chosen from among the remnants of previously prepared foods.

Egg pie was the only one that I could think of that has been prepared multiple times. It consisted of white flour tortillas lining a deep glass bowl then covered in a layer of american cheese and then coated with a layer of partially cooked scrambled eggs, some ham, a tortilla, some cheese, eggs, some ham, a tortilla, some cheese, some eggs, some ham, cheese and a tortilla. Place the concoction in the microwave oven for sufficient time to make the cheese soft and the eggs hard. Consume the egg pie coated with salsa.

What is for supper? I don't know?

Dinner Group

Jeanette and I (Larry) started a dinner group with Larry and Diane, Larry and Margie, and Larry and Annette.

The way this works is we each take a turn at being host. Our turn was Saturday a couple weeks ago.

We ate well. We had steak (filet mignon), brocoli, grilled sausage, olives (greek), olives (stuffed with jalepenos), olives (black), salad, cranberry juice cocktail, and some cheesecake.



We broke out the china and sat in the dining room.



I think everybody had their fill. It was nice to sit around and talk a bit. We eventually made it into the living room and sat around and related life experiences.

Our next visit will be at Larry's. I just have to remember which one.
