It’s been a very long time since I’ve eaten “Fiddle Faddle.” Today on a spur of the moment urge I decided to buy a box. It was on sale for 50% off at the store I was in and I was in the mood for some junk food. So I bought a box and opened it up. Tasted like Cracker Jacks, but there wasn’t any prize! Just as well, those little prizes never were worth a darn anyway! Anyway, I had forgotten how good it was! I’m afraid to look at the nutritional information – probably a heart attack waiting to happen!

I’m usually up to trying different restaurants. Especially all-you-can-eat buffets! No, I’m not even remotely obese; I’m not the kind of guy who strikes fear in the heart of buffet managers! It’s just that if I go to a new restaurant that is a buffet, then I get the chance to sample a wide variety of foods that I might not otherwise order. After all, who wants to order a large plate of something that they’ve never heard of and might be something not to the diner’s tastes preferences?

I do have to admit, however, that even though I try to keep an open mind and try new foods, I still like my good ol’ American style steak and potatoes the best! Yes, with a big salad and some broccoli.

I’m glad that they just opened up a new Starbucks in town. It has a drive through which is an important feature for me. I hate having to go some where, find a parking place and then to stand in line. Being able to drive up and drive away with all that I want and need is more my style.

I have always wanted to purchase myself a brand new frost-free freezer. With so many food products that now need to be kept in freezers it is becoming a real challenge finding room to place everything that I am buying at the grocery store each week. I have asked my mother if she would go to Sam’s Club with me sometime in the near future to look and see what types of deals that may have on their chest freezers.

I’m hoping that my tax refund check will be coming shortly and I’d like to use some of that money to buy a few things that I have been needing around the place. I don’t have a membership at the local Sam’s Club, but my mother certainly does and she takes me there on occasion and I have a field day there with her. I like shopping with my mother, we have always had fun times when we hit the stores and I look forward to many more years of shopping with her in the future.

I’m sorry to see that due to so many people bringing stuffing to the Thanksgiving dinner, we have way more stuffing than we needed! I hate to see good food thrown out, but I just can’t figure out a way to eat all of this turkey stuffing! Bob suggested that we fix a stuffing sandwich, but I think that’s just plain wacky – after all stuffing is mostly bread to begin with! I guess maybe next time we need to buy more turkey!  Or maybe tell the people that are coming to NOT bring stuffing!  Not that they listen in the first place…….
