Friday Night

Beautiful day Friday! I didn't wear a coat and I had the window down driving home. When I got home, I was going to spray the grass growing in the driveway, but found I had no grass killer left. Bummer!

So, I drilled a hole in the picnic table and put in the 6-foot market umbrella I bought on sale a few weeks ago. I think it looks pretty good (see photo).

Came in, cleaned up and changed clothes. Then, I started prepping the food for Saturday's dinner at Mom's. Finalized menu is:

~ Iceberg Salad with Shrimp
~ Bacon-Wrapped Meat Loaf
~ Mashed redskin potato with scallions and sour cream
~ Herb-butter parsnips
~ and for dessert, an Apple-Raisin Betty, served warm with ice cream

So, I made the salad dressing, got the meat loaf in the pan, got the apple-raisin betty in the casserole dish and a compound herb butter made and in the freezer.

It was about 9:30 PM, thought about watching TV, but went to sleep instead (too much late-night hockey is not good for old guys!)
