last meal cooked for a veteran... this week

Little Caesar's has definitely done right by me!

On Veterans Day, they graced me with a free deep dish pie as part of their lunch combo.

I chose the pepperoni, of course.

That means that yesterday and today I have dined on pizza for breakfast!

The photo shows what I've had each time.

What a heaping helping was in that box from them!

Many thanks to them!

Applebee's had the most diverse menu for veterans.

I went there on Monday to dine-in, but to my surprise, and delight, the restaurant was so busy that they allowed us to order the meal to go!

That meant I had dinner last night that I only had to heat up to eat!

And what was my meal of choice?

The same as it ever is: Fiesta Lime Chicken.

As I told Teresa, an Air Force veteran, as we waited, "It's superb!"

So glad Applebee's does this for veterans!

Chicken Salad Chick always allows veterans to opt to dine in or take it home.

I had planned to eat the free lunch there, with my first niece and her girls, but Christina was ill.

So, the fancy luncheon became a dinner at home Monday night!

Lauryn's Lemon Basil on croissant, with Broccoli Salad, was a complete meal that included vegetables!

I washed it all down with free lemonade, and even had a cookie for dessert!

That was certainly my healthiest meal. (smile!)

So, where did I actually dine in on Monday?

Chili's.

I was there about 3:30 PM, well after the lunch rush and before the supper crowd arrived.

Within ten minutes, I was seated!

Their special menu included the 3-piece Chicken Crispers, with honey mustard - perfect!

Thanks, Jerrad, for making my free meal special!

Thanks, Chili's, for having great music to accompany my dining experience!

And, while I am here, let me not forget to thank one other.

Thank you, Texas Roadhouse.

This restaurant was my first destination on Veterans Day, as I knew their gift would be this voucher.

That gives me a free meal on another day, with a wide range of choices.

I do so look forward to that future free dinner!

Many thanks to all for these lagniappes!
