What's for Dinner?

[Fading Fast]

This morning while waiting for the 6.20 Rock Island I was talking to another passenger who mentioned Christkindlmarket's Gluhwein, served hot and spiced.
I replied that I've been meaning to stop by there and grab some bratwurst or Leberkase at least. Cold and snow certainly add ambience to a tight schedule.
Try tonite.
...if I was twenty years younger, would have asked her to accompany me to Daley Plaza.

I have no story that is as good as yours, but we have Gluhwein every Christmas season. And, yes, hot and spiced is the way to go along with sitting next to a fire. Years ago, we used to have to search a bit to find a store that carries it, now it isn't too hard to find.

Last night Chicago wasn't too cold but a blustery wind flew off Lake Michigan, though since I'd been inside all day it felt wonderful.
My kind of weather. I arrived at Christkindlmarket, saw some wood carvings and Christmas mugs; thought I found the jackpot place for
one-stop shopping for the gals back at the office, and decided to get the ball rolling with some hot potato soup.
Then I flashed plastic at a "sorry, cash-only sir" Chriskindlmarket. Too lazy to hunt down an ALM inside Daley Center,
I left the plaza and will return Friday with cold hard cash. I should have known but I am so habitual with plastic.

The outdoor markets like that in NYC used to be cash-only as well, but with the Millennials never having cash (and being either confused or disdainful when asked for it), most of the vendors caved and started, over the last year or two, taking credit cards (through various and awkward hand-held scanners).

Homemade pork stew over pasta, because, why not? Pasta makes everything better [emoji14]

It was a great party. We are all looking forward to next year’s party.

Sesame chicken, broccoli and beef, pork fried rice, and a couple of Fogcutters. We had enough leftover
for a nice snack after work today.

A few of those would make for a really nice snack.

I have yet to meet that person, but I would expect they only eat for sustenance.

Homemade tacos again made from the carne asada, chicken and pork from last night.

As expected (even though most items are much smaller than they appear) and that is why I said only a few and not a half dozen or so.

I would say that it's bigger than an egg roll and a bit smaller than a burrito.

That looks pretty accurate to me.

if you eat half a dozen of these chicken wraps...you would end up too full for words. (to put it mildly)
