One thing Farmer H looks forward to every day is his lunch at the Senior Center. I felt bad when he drove us to the casino on Wednesday, because it meant he missed his 4th of July lunch and party. The menu was:
BBQ Pork Steak OR Chicken Parm
Potato Salad OR Salad
Street Corn OR Italian Blend
Garlic Toast
Red, White & Blue Cake OR Fruit
Farmer H said it was no big deal. He would be getting lunch at the casino.
On the actual 4th of July, the Senior Center was closed. Farmer H treated himself to lunch at Captain D's, (chicken and fish and fries, for $5.99) which is close to his SUS2 (Storage Unit Store 2) where he was fooling around with his inventory.
I was happy that he could have Friday's lunch of
Fried Catfish
Corn Nuggets
Slaw
Wedges
Variety of Desserts
But NO! When I mentioned it to Farmer H on Thursday, July 4th, he said,
"It's closed."
"But the menu you brought home for July says that's what they're having!"
"They heard that the city workers were off on Friday, too, and had a fit so they could be off."
Huh. That's interesting. They're not city workers. They're funded by the federal government. But I suppose Farmer H will get that fish dinner on a different Friday.
It seems unfair. Unfair enough that I feel sorry for Farmer H!
Aww, you do love him! Feeling sorry for him proves it. He will catch up on his meals next week.
ReplyDeleteKathy,
ReplyDeleteYes, I feel confident that Farmer H can recoup his caloric deficit in the coming week. However, he said Friday's lunch was "a granola bar." That's sad, but I'm sure he supplemented it beforehand with some Casey's donuts on the way to his SUS2. AND, he only wanted a grilled sausage patty left over from Thursday evening's grilling, for his Friday night supper. Along with some potatoes and onions, and two ears of corn. AND some pudding with vanilla wafers and banana.
It is sad the Senior Centre was closed, I bet Farmer H wasn't the only disappointed person who missed a great meal. It's been a while since I had fish of any kind.
ReplyDeleteRiver,
ReplyDeleteYes, for two days in a row, and adjoining the weekend. I hope some of the elderlies weren't depending on that food!
The last fish I had was probably what Farmer H brought home from the Senior Center. I would love another trip to our local catfish house restaurant, but since I've been cutting back, that would not be a good idea!
