Sometimes the simple things in life are SO special.

Just finished dinner. old bear home fixed meatloaf, carrots, roasted red potatoes, and yeast rolls; all washed down with a glass of ice cold milk. To be followed up with a slice of Key Lime pie.

It's turned cold, here in NC, but I'm nice and warm in my little home commutating with my forum friends and a new book to enjoy later.
I'm a happy guy, and I hope the rest of you are well and are enjoying yourselves.

Sounds like a fine meal to me, Fred. Looking forward to seeing you this year. You may have to cook!

Yup and a week ago today, I was sitting on my front porch wearing a tank top and shorts and smokin' a Gran Habano Vintage 2002.
Today it snowed.

Just got an oil delivery on Wednesday after running on fumes for nearly 3 weeks so I'm happy here with the inside temperature set back up to normal. The good wife is gone off with her girlfriends for the weekend (Freedom, blessed freedom!!!) so I made myself a couple deluxe blue cheese burgers (Damn, they were good!) and I've got a gun show to go to in the morning. In other words, life is pretty darn good here too.

Nothing like "comfort" food, simple foods from your past, that bring back memories. I can eat Ham, home-made potato salad, and baked beans, and feel like a king.

Dang, Fred...that sounds awfully good! You are absolutely right on the money. Most times it's the simple things that bring us joy...quiet evenings, good friends, loved ones, a nice fire and a good book. Doesn't really take much.

Y'know, I feel sorry for those who don't understand that. Those are the folks that no matter how much they have, they're never satisfied. Sad isn't it?

Sounds great, my self is of to working night at the board mill
stacking Board reels with destination Baltimore

After a meal like in the OP, another of lifes simple pleasures may occur! If it doesn't then life is not so pleasurable!

A meals location can add to the pleasure. Camping, darkness coming, campfire down to coals, simple food becomes a feast! Dessert can be as simple as adding some wood to the campfire, and listening to the day go quiet and night sounds come alive. Beverage of your choice as you relax, and conversation goes quieter, maybe an owl hoots, a coyote or wolf howls in the distance, wind in the trees, and the sky sparkles with stars!

Chip, are we thinking of the same person? if so that's OK.

And who said you weren't a mind reader?

But, I'm sure there are many who fit into the category.

PBJ sandwich is simple. What you had was a feast! Makes me hungry just thinking about it.

I have been married to the same lady form almost 50 years, a kiss from her makes the world right.

Love this! I love nothing more than sitting in the yard with my dog and maybe having a beer after work. It don't get no better unless maybe there's a grill involved. [emoji41]

Couldn't agree with that statement more Fred.
I just go with the flow these days.
And i feel so much better for it.

This picture was taken a few years ago but these
grandkids are what takes up some of my time
these days. I couldn't be happier about it.


Don't let stress and worrying kill ya'

I did not cook nearly as well for myself but my belly is full and this thread put a smile on my face. Thanks Fred.
