no wns for me

Last week I had barely made it in time.

Wednesday night suppers have resumed at Asbury Memorial, for the first time since the pandemic began in this country.

Here's the thing, though: they're serious about the meal being done by 6:30 PM.

I arrived at 6:20 and they were putting away the food already.

Seriously.

So, I got my chicken tetrazzini meal 'to go" and took it home.

Nice that I still got some blueberry crisp and a nice salad along with it.

Just $7 for a meal I didn't have to make, so that was good!

Still, I had looked forward to sharing dinner with others.

I'm trying to be more present at the church, right?

So, I'd looked forward to tonight, with plans to be there by 5:30, at the meal's start, for a bit of camaraderie and food someone else prepared.

Well, it didn't happen.

Wait, let me clarify: the company part didn't happen.

I still got a meal that I didn't cook - in fact, I'll end up with several meals from this one, so that's a real bonus - but that didn't get me to the church on time.

I was waiting for medications to arrive in the mail, which is usually here by 4.

For whatever reason, the 'arrival by' time changed from 4:45 to 7:15, so here I sat.

 

They actually got here just before 6:30, so, in that regard, they were 'early'.

No worries: I took myself out to dinner anyway!!!

Texas Roadhouse had sent a coupon for my 2-year anniversary in their loyalty club.

That meant I could have a free sidekick of ribs with whatever meal I ordered!

I almost didn't stay, though.

There was a 15- to 25-minute wait for a table and I was hoping to get to the cinema to top off my A*List.

But, as I waited, a familiar song started up...

and I found myself singing and moving along with "Boot Scootin' Boogie", remembering that concert with 'sister' Laura - no coincidence!

Right place, right time!

(smile!)

Usually, I select the Country Vegetables Plate, but, I'm still on a shrimp craze, right?

Bloody well right, as Supertramp would say!!!

So I ordered the Grilled Shrimp, which gave me two skewers with five lovely shrimp on each!

Plus, I had this huge garden salad as one of my sides, as well as the rice that came with the shrimp.

The baked sweet potato and the half-rack of ribs went home with me!

So did two of the four rolls.

Oh, yeah!

(smile!)

Now, let's get off to that movie, shall we?
