I wanted to title this "outing" but then I realized it has at least one meaning that is NOT what I meant, so I changed the title. Yesterday I took DH out to eat. We went to Mimi's which is one of out favorite places, They always treat use kindly and the food is yummy. I decided to get one of the specials that I had not eaten before, mainly because it featured Asparagus as the veggie, and it is, hands down, my favorite. It also featured a chicken breast and mushrooms. I should have chosen the other special, beef pot roast, and asked for a side of asparagus. There pot roast is out of this world. The chicken was overcooked and dry, the sauce was not so much, It was some kind of sauce made with Dijon mustard, and weird spices. The sauce was alright, but too vinegary, much too strong a taste for chicken. I like their food because it has a down home taste that I like. Not that dish. It is getting harder and harder to find "farm food" nowadays. Chefs are destroying food a lot of times by tinkering with a good thing to make a nasty thing that is way worse than the original. I really do not like hot spices or vinegary things. Phoooy! At work they use Bullseye BBQ sauce. I detest it! We have a signature sauce that we make called "Rocky Mountain BBQ Sauce". It is much better because it is sweeter and not as spicy. When we make it though is make me cough, because of the vinegar in it. We make it once or twice a week. It starts with 75# of brown sugar, then catsup, celery seed, chili powder and a few other things, (I can't remember them all). We also stopped by to visit with Otto and Florence. Otto is getting hospice care and is in a hospital bed in their TV room. They have gotten him an electric schooter and a walker, so he can sometimes get around a little. It was nice to visit with them for awhile. I did not get to the grocery store, so we are out of milk, Alka Seltzer, (my before bed drink, I love it, always have) Kitty Litter, and hard candies. At the present time I am craving Skittles, a chewy candy, I cannot find Jaw Breakers anywhere, except for Atomic Fireballs which are not what I want, The ones I like are made by the same company that makes the fire balls, but I can't find them anywhere. Anyway It was a pleasant outing. I haven't been out to do even that much for months. I need to get a life! It is scarey and exciting to be moving. The new house should be ready in 2 or 3 weeks. My spell check is doing funny things tonight so please excuse the spelling,

It sounds good to me. There was a eatery here in Tooele that we liked until they changed owners and then it went to h@#% in a handbasket.
Have you tried "Gobstopers" eather hard center or soft center (the kind I like). I'm glad you had a day out, sounds nice. Why does Otto need hospice? Is he on his way out? All this is all nice and good but I want more details on the new house.
I am glad you enjoyed yourself. It is nice to get out once in awhile. If I find some jawbreakers I will send some to you. I want some details on the house too!
Where am I and why am I in this handbasket? Just a little saying I saw on a T-shirt. Dave's comment reminded me of it. It is nice to go out once in a while, I admit to going out to eat much more regularly than once in awhile. I love to eat out so much because I hate cooking so much. I hardly ever find fault with what other people cook for the same reason. I guess if you cook for a living the opposite is true. I work with books for a living and I'm very critical of them sometimes.
I agree with alf's boy what about the house????? Details we need details, at the minimum an address so we can google earth it.
Do not post your new address on your blog!!! Just send it out in e-mails or call people. Perhaps I'm being over cautious but I think that it's a bad idea.
I also love the edge vinegar gives a dish but I guess I'm strange that way.
Sorry I didn't think of that!
