Our world was thrown upside-down for about a week, which prompted cancelling plans and making an emergency trip to FL. Don't book tickets to FL less than a week in advance. We paid over $1300 to transfer and take little planes. Traveling to FL took us 10 hours! Things are calming down a bit which means I can get back to blogging.
Sunday's dinner was made by Grandma Leila. She's a bit of an odd cook. She's got the curries down but other meals seem to throw her for a loop. Robert wanted veggie burgers. They bought the kind of burgers we never eat - Morningstar Farms Garden Vegetable Patties. You could actually see the carrot in the patty. Then she said that she learned a trick from the woman at Publix - cook it slow with soy sauce and lemon pepper. She only have sliced processed white american cheese to top it with, and seemed to think it strange that we would want cheese on my burger. Then she wanted to mix up a concoction of mayo, mustard, and ketchup and put it on everyone bread for them. Thankfully, I stopped her before she did that, but then she didn't know what to do and wanted to squeeze ketchup on everyone's plate for them, which I also stopped her from doing. I convinced her that everyone likes to make their burger their own way. Robert bought the rolls and he is a bread lover, so they were quite fancy and delicious. But I did not enjoy the burger itself.
She also made french fries. I said that we could bake them but she said she likes them better fried. I do too, so I was happy with that. She cooked up some corn on the cob and served leftover salad.
Free (if you don't count the very expensive plane tickets)
