What’s for dinner, Chef’s Surprise.?

Hi Joe;

Its raining to-day and I don’t feel like working outside so I will write you all a letter. There is a question that I hear more than any other around here, what’s for dinner.? The boys always seem to be hungry and snack all day and then when it comes to dinner, they aren’t hungry.???

There are choices on what will be served on any given day. You ask and if you get enough of the same answers you can serve it. If the answers are different, then there is a discussion, short and sweet, Nana decides, its going to be this.

The boys are not picky eaters but will not always eat what’s for supper either. I, am old school, here’s what’s for dinner and if you don’t like it, then have bread and butter. Amen. Nana will give them an alternate choice and so they are happy. Nobody likes my choices.!! No, wonder they love snack time at bedtime, they get the junk they want.

I call them nibblers or grazers, eat and run. They don’t as a rule, eat  at the table. Its at the couch, at the coffee table or just eat it at the counter. Sometimes, they will eat at the table, but its in a hurry, gotta go play. Well, that will explain why they are skinny and always hungry.

So, we can have rice casserole (garlic bread with everything) or noodle casserole or noodle and cheese and ham or soup and grilled cheese garlic bread or chili or pergogies with bacon and onion or chicken dinner or ham and scallops or pork or beef with mashed pot-a-toes and gravy, Kraft dinner, cabbage soup, its great, keeps you gassy all night and they will turn their noses up and say “I can’t like this”.!!

Microwave dinners, again, don’t you get tired of eating that, pre-processed stuff?. Michelina’s  lasagna alfredo with broccoli and cheese or Stouffer’s Pastaria aka linguine coronary with bacon.??, or Mac and cheese, which has some source of calcium. Its still icky. Even if its made in the USA.!!.

Chefs surprise, is what I make and I don’t tell them what it is, not even Nana and she gets very annoyed at me. Well, that’s what you get when “the Chef-de-Jour” is let loose. And two choices, Chefs Surprise or nothing or wait till snack time. Saturdays, are fend for yourself, too busy around here.

The Chef has never gone hungry, gone skinny a few times, but never hungry. If you all is hungry you will eat even if its “liver “ served in a mild tomato sauce and side order noodle nuggets and Texas tufted onions. and this ain’t the Chat n Chew I am running here, so you get what you get.

This ain't the Chat n Chew!!
No Soup for You!!
