It's All About the Food

Taryn and Tim are leaving us today to go back to Missouri. Taryn will be at the Hit The Ground Running working as a counselor and Tim will return to his summer job as a lifeguard at a big community pool. They ate their way through our house as you can see:


No, actually we played an old childhood favorite we creatively call The Grocery Game. Everyone picked 2 numbers and got to shop in those rows only for something for dinner. I would have restricted it to one row, but I didn't get to scout the store and eliminate the toilet paper aisle first, so we needed a fall-back aisle. It was fun and we had a very creative meal, and everyone did pretty good!


Here we are with some appetizers. Salt & Pepper Chips with 2 dips: French Onion and a Artichoke - courtesy of Mariah.

Bagel Bites and Clam Chowder


Somehow the photographer didn't get any other photos of the special event, but the rest of the meal had cheesy jambalaya and hot sausage (sorry Grammy - kids choice!), and Reese's and frozen Twix ice cream treats. Gib did not get any candied yams, beets or garbanzo beans; but that was only after I told him he had to eat them. That was when he decided to about-face and concetrate on the packaged pastas instead of gross canned goods.



The night before was another food fest: PF Changs for Taryn's birthday dinner. That was alot of fun. Indie has a friend who is a server there so we got in his section and of course received excellent service! Everyone loved their dishes and Taryn made a great restaurant choice! Can't go wrong with PF Changs!!



I'm gonna miss her! See ya in August Taryn!
