Meal Time Monday
I have spent most of the day trying to figure out what to cook for supper. I hate days like this! It’s time to go grocery shopping because we have absolutely nothing in our freezer, nothing in our cabinets and why have I have to wonder why I didn’t think about the fact that we needed supper tonight! I told my son we are going to starve tonight we are going to watch the commercials about food and pretend that it’s us eating. Hmmm I wonder if it would actually work. (smile)
I started thinking about when my parents use to visit me when I lived in Greensboro NC. There was a restaurant called Mayflower. Of course it was a seafood joint and perfectly priced with large amounts of food. As much as I love seafood I always chose to get the chicken and fettuccine. Here was this restaurant packed full of people eating piles of shrimp and fish while I sat eating chicken and noodles, with a small salad of course. I haven’t had it in a while. It’s really quite funny because my family and I moved back to our hometown a few years ago and they actually have built a Mayflowers here which we have yet to visit! I haven’t had chicken fettuccine in a long time and boy would it be good tonight!
