Val Sees the Light and the Menu

T-Hoe has still not received an oil change, but Hick DID bring home a light for the kitchen. Of course it was the wrong light and didn't fit. He had just bought it at Lowe's. Then he decided to go down to the basement and see what he had there. Which was a light that fit! So he put it in. Took ten minutes, including trying the wrong one, and the trip to the basement.

Hick also brought in the Senior Center menu that had been out in his truck since Thursday. It looks like a tasty week.

MONDAY
Ham & Turkey Cheese Sub
Pasta Salad
Crackers
Lemon Cake OR Fruit Cocktail
(Hick ate this day, and said it was good. That the Pasta Salad was noodles with peppers.)

TUESDAY
"S'Mores for Seniors Party"
Grilled Hot Dogs w/Trimmings
Potato Salad
Pork & Beans
Soda
S'Mores & Cookies
(Hick ate this day. Said there was no Soda, and no S'Mores, and the buns were cold, like they'd been in the freezer. Hick just wanted warm buns. Didn't care about the Soda or S'Mores. He said the lady who runs it was out sick with pneumonia, and he just wants her to be okay.)

WEDNESDAY
Biscuits & Gravy
Sausage & Eggs
Hash Browns
OJ
Cinnamon Roll
(Hick plans to eat lunch this day. It's one of his favorites, although they don't give enough gravy.)

THURSDAY
Salmon Patties OR Tuna Sandwich
White Cjeddar Mac & Cheese
7 Layer Salad 
Strawberry Earthquake Cake OR Fruit
(Hick will eat this meal, too. He likes the Strawberry Earthquake Cake.)

FRIDAY
Reuben Sandwich
Southwest Salad
Cucumbers & Tomatoes
Variety of Desserts
(THIS IS MY DAY!!! Hick better bring me a Reuben! They've never had Cucumbers & Tomatoes, no matter how often it's on the menu. I hope it's not those dang wax beans that I dislike.)

Let the record show that without my "new" light, I wouldn't have been able to see to read this menu!

    1. Heh, heh! That's a clever connection between the buns and my rumpus. Wish I'd thought of it!

  2. Strawberry Earthquake Cake?? Sounds like someone dropped a cake once and renamed it. I need a picture of that. I hope you get your Reuben.

    1. You won't get a picture unless the workers send one home with their PET! I'm thinking it might be like a poke cake, where you stab a sheet cake with a fork, and pour in Jello or something.

      Hick brought home TWO desserts yesterday. I didn't look, but he said they were cinnamon rolls. The one he didn't eat with lunch, which was dry, and everyone complaining. And another that the cooks said they "had in the back" that was moist.
