What Did You Have For Dinner Tonight?

For example, you really will not find cleaning products, cosmetics and many toiletries there (although they do carry Tom's of Maine products). TJ does excel in terms of baked deserts, breads, snack food, cheese, frozen burritos (??) and coffee.

So, I had a nice productive day!
Searched out the Trader Joes in Nashvegas! And later ate a Diner, Drive-Ins, and Dives, featured establishment.
So, Trader Joes....I liked it, a lot! It was much more of a traditional type grocery store, than I imagined. Dog food, cleaning supplies, etc...
However, due to Tennessee's archaic blue laws, grocery stores aren't allowed to sell wine, so they only have beer...no Two Buck Chuck! I talked with a stock girl, for about 20 minutes(people in TN, are the friendliest people in the world), and she said TJ's probably wouldn't be doing any more expanding here, unless that law would change, because wine is a BIG part of their business.

And, quite the variety of wines.

One of my three favorite stores:

Trader Joe's
Target
Pavilions

Hungarian Goulash.

I know! I searched out a 3D feature, and nobody gives a flying f*ck!
Am I the only one who's obsessed with 3D?

I had spaghetti with clam sauce, a salad with blue cheese dressing, and 2 rolls. Waitress kept trying to push more rolls on me, like 4 times. I finally told her I've gained 6 lbs since Thanksgiving, so quit pushin' ur damned bread on me!

She was like, "me too! I understand!"

I havn't had an appetite all day and thus havn't eaten up until my late Dinner when I had a Facon Sandwhich and a few Sugar Snap Peas.

[HomerMcvie]

Nachos Jalisco. Nachos with beef and chicken, cheese, refried beans, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream. I'm stuffed.


Last day of vacation today. Home tomorrow, to reunite with my wife, Salad.

[Silver Springs]

For dinner tonight I was Greek inspired so I had Vegetable Moussakka with Greek Salad (minus the cheese). And for dessert I had Galaktoboureko (Custard flavoured with Lemon in Phyllo Pastry).

Homie...I care...I'm an avid 3D watcher!! Just have to live vicariously through you, since there's only been one place near me that Guy's been to, and I'm already a regular at that place ("Schooner Or Later" in Long Beach).

I just love that show. So, I'm flipping channels in my hotel room, just now, and came across a game show with Guy Fieri. It looks kind of stupid, but I'm watching anyway, since it's Guy(and since they don't offer The Food Network)
There's actually another place in Nashville, that they've done, that I almost tried today(Arnolds, a "meat and three" restaurant). But I'm not really much of a home cooking type of guy, so I'll try it, next time. Plus, I've become friends with two different restaurant owners here(that's HOW LONG I've been coming to Nashville, that I've made so many friends here), so I always feel like I have to eat at their places, at least a couple of times on each trip. I actually drove 90 minutes Wednesday, just so I could eat at my friend's BBQ restaurant, in Springfield, TN.

Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich with
their new fries. Topped off with
a vanilla shake.

I had a bad cold for lunch.
During 3 breaks from snow removal intervals, I made it through most of a can of Mushroom and Spinach soup I didn't want, but was good for me to have.
Even cold medicine without acitemophin was a responsible choice, as I have it in one of my prescriptions, anyway.
Now for a 1:15 a.m. snack, one small, remaining final bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, hot chocolate with a tiny shot of chocolate liqueur and an Alprazalam. I feel hungry, so I just cooked 2 pieces of bacon, that should make the sleep kick in. I always have to eat a tad more than I want to sleep well- but still, a can of soup, small bowl of cereal and 2 pieces of bacon isn't all that much food to consume in one day.
The food for Mom and Dad: I only served one meal for them today, because I had been feeling sick, so left quickly after lunch not to spead germs. I made them Lobster Salad for lunch, very easy, on lettuce for Mom and bread for Dad, and soup, I can't remember which kind.
They did the frozen Marie Callendar dinners for their dinner tonight, probably the beef tips with green beans and red potatoes my Mom likes.
