Sometimes, after a Saturday night hamburger, Hawaiian macaroni salad, key lime pie, three glasses of red wine, dinner party for two at home, I like to take myself over to the worship service where the big bells ring and the stairs are plentiful.
This walk is also good after Chris makes fajitas, we drench avocados in lime juice, fix a pot of mom's Spanish rice, and watch "A Series of Unfortunate Events" with Jim Carrey and Meryl Streep (to name a few). I might have taken a piece of key lime pie out of the freezer to have for dessert.
Photos are few as I concentrated on matters at hand. Up. Down. Up. Down.
Helpful links related to dinners include:
The Pioneer Woman's beef fajitas. Excellent. We will make again and again and again.
Hawaiian Macaroni Salad from Cooks Country. Make this exactly according to the recipe. To. Die. For.
Keeps well for a week in the refrigerator.
In case you are at a loss for entertainment, below are the trailers for the movie mentioned above (free on amazon prime) as well as The Ghost and Mr. Chicken with Don Knotts from 1966, which will not appeal to all but we enjoyed. I was telling someone at work about it and they did not know who Don Knotts was. It was the same person who did not know who Laurel and Hardy were. I am on a mission to keep the classics alive.
I have a memory of watching that Mr. Chicken movie at a drive-in with my family (I was probably 9) and being so scared I had to hide in the back of the station wagon! Glad you are keeping the classics alive.

Thank goodness, a life without Don Knotts would be pale. I still grab an Andy Griffith show once in a while. Nice, feel-good fare to balance almost everything else.

Love The Ghost and Mr. Chicken! Nobody could shake scared like Don Knotts.

I can't believe you know who Don Knotts and Laurel and Hardy are!
I tried to listen to the Lemony Snickett 1st book on tape, and it was so scary I had to stop! But the trailer was so much nicer...it's on my list. Thank you!

Jeannette: the children are so lovely in the Lemony Snicket movie! you will not be too scared.
Jacki: I am with you on the Andy Griffith re-runs. Always love one that features Aunt Bea or the Darling family.
