Gawd Steve, that's no way to make up for it.A whole carrot and a handful of snap peas. Can you tell I messed up my diet this weekend?

Hmmm, what did you have?Yeah I know but I really am not hungry. Maybe the late lunch is why.

I get a root beer float sometimes, and cheese curds.Dang I miss the A&W floats! We don't have any up here. They are real popular down south.

Oooooooo I like salmon, baked in a loaf, fried patties, used like you'd make tuna salad right out of the can..1/2 baked potato with Norwegian Baked Salmon. First time in my life I have ever ordered Salmon. After my experience in Ireland I never thought I would eat it again.But this was good.
Sounds like the Irish have the same food reputation as the English. I made 6 trips to the UK to oversee the construction of an office/warehouse up in Milton Keynes, and I lost weight with each trip. For a guy with an Eastern European heritage, there are not a lot of local choices for good food. For some odd reason, I did like Bubble & Squeak with veggies. Anything with meat was tasteless and often way overcooked. I did find a nice Italian restaurant that had pretty good food, but stayed away from the traditional English food. Thank goodness for McDonalds and Pizza Slut.When we were in Ireland at a meeting it was served. I thought hey finally something I like. Was I wrong. It came sliced about 1/8" of an inch. Was cold and red. I swear it was raw. That was in about 1990. Until last night I have never touched Salmon since.
I liked bubble and squeak, toad in the hole, traditional English brekkies, a good Sunday dinner with meat and 3 vegs with Yorkshire puddings and gravy.Sounds like the Irish have the same food reputation as the English.

Do you ever miss a good spotted dick in the can?I liked bubble and squeak, toad in the hole, traditional English brekkies, a good Sunday dinner with meat and 3 vegs with Yorkshire puddings and gravy.
I think no one on this earth makes fish, chips and mushy peas like you can find around Yorkshire.
The Indian restaurants in Yorkshire were always good.
The ONLY thing I never liked while living over there was black pudding.
I still have beans on toast as a quick dinner, and would die if Meijer ever stopped carrying my beloved PG-Tips tea bags.![]()

Sorry, I couldn't resist.![]()
Joe, do you know your pecan rolls don't mold?We had our family reunion today with about 80 people in attendance. More homemade entrees, sides and desserts than I can list here. The most memorable were the smoked Slovenian sausages in sauerkraut, German potato salad made with smoked bacon and redskins potatoes, stuffed cabbages (to die for!), homemade Italian Sporaseta sausages, and more strudels and poticas and homemade pastries than I could count. A great time was had by all, and nobody went away hungry.

Joe, do you know your pecan rolls don't mold?
I found the last one I'd saved in a basket on top of my fridge, wrapped in cling film.
It looked the same, only slightly hard.
Should we call the Vatican and demand your rolls be declared incorruptible and worthy of being called sainted miracle bread?![]()



OMG, Please tell me you're joking. I get paranoid when something is IN THE FRIDGE for more than a few days, much less sitting in a basket on top of it for months. Now you tell me that my pecan rolls have a half life? I think I better slip into the confessional before mass this morning.Oh, I have a batch of 15 cinnamon rolls to drop off at the rectory this morning as a Father's Day gift to our priests. I did this last year and it was a big hit. We have over 4,000 families in our parish with three full time priests and our Pastor Emeritus in residence. They all great guys and they all have a sweet tooth.

What a nice gesture, Joe.
I hugged Fathers Mel and Jacob this morning and told them Happy Fadda's Day![]()

I would take that over baking any day![]()
