Diane and I are laid over in the Midwest this weekend, waiting to pick up freight on Monday. For dinner today we parked at a Walmart, bought what we needed and cooked in the truck: oven-baked rolls, ham, corn, mashed potatoes and gravy. The convection microwave oven, two-burner stove top and kitchen area in our ARI sleeper makes this possible.

Turkey, homemade stuffing, green bean casserole, crescent rolls and cranberry sauce. For dessert a homemade pineapple upside down cake.:)
We are at home. Going back in service tomorrow.

Ham, sweet potatoes, asparagus sauteed in butter and garlic with seasoned salt, salt potatoes, and fudge brownies, all made in the truck.

Followed shortly thereafter by the post-dinner coma.

Isn't it funny that to celebrate the resurection of Jesus, a jewish man, most people eat ham, something a jew would never eat. Maybe it's funny to me because I said it in a Jerry Seinfeld voice.

I think it's not politically incorrect to serve rabbit. (tell the kids it's chicken)

I tried to use this new 'high quality' glazed deep dish baking dish that someone gave me, to make a 'graham crust' pie.. because it was so deep, I made a double recipe.. baked it in prep for the cold filling.. it baked great.. lightly browned.. perfect!.. but when I took it out of the oven, the 'deep' sides went 'swooooooosh' and slid down so that I was left with only a bottom crust.. double thick of course..
So I went and purchased 'gourmet' cupcakes from a 'cupcakery' at $2.50 a pop, and they were AWFUL... (how do they stay in business?) and I got chastised for not making the pie anyway, without the sides, because nobody cared if it would be ugly, it just needed to taste good.
Anybody know how to use one of those deep dish glazed pans and keep the sides?

My wife decided to volunteer again this year which means I do most of the work. "We" were going to make ham and pork roast but for some reason when I picked all of it up, it was frozen solid instead of being thawed out. So instead, it was turkey Filet Mignon with the side fixings as everyone enjoys. I had one kid who didn't like the turkey steak and her potato but overall it was a good meal for them.

Me? Today was hard boiled eggs, diced potato, chorizo and a tortilla.
