I got a call from my doctor's office. It looks like the Christmas tree is going up the weekend after Halloween. I love having an excuse to put the tree up early. Sure, I could do it whenever I want but this seems like a legitimate reason. Oh, crap. I just realized something. The surgery is scheduled for 8am and I have to be there two hours early. That means I have to leave the house around 5am. Oh well, I guess it's better than when it was scheduled for 1:30pm. That's a long time for fasting... like I'd be able to eat anything anyway with my nervous stomach.
I really wanted french fries for lunch yesterday. They sounded good and I was about to make some until I remembered I needed to post two recipes for easy access. I had a frito pie instead. I could've had chili cheese fries but I don't think this chili would be good with fries. It's not like hot dog chili, but more like taco soup in a way. I've made it a few times and might have posted the recipe link before but if I did, I can't find it. THIS is it.
I put it in a cutesy little paper boat like they would do at a concession stand. Not only did I think it would look cute for the picture, but it was one less dish I had to wash afterwards. I might need to do that more often.
I need to go clean shrimp now. It's garbage day and I need to hurry and get the shrimp debris out. Too bad shrimp and grits wouldn't work in those concession stand paper boats. Oh, but fried shrimp would...
