We have a freight company here, their trucks/lorries lol. Carry quotes written on them, one I saw and always remembered from 20? Years ago, it said
The harder I work
The luckier I get.
So very true, I worked two jobs for years to get on the property ladder, worked 12 hr days for years before I started my own company. Now I can just "cruise" I guess I'm lucky too!

So just to try out my theory: about 2 hours ago I said to hubby: "Ya know what? I am feeling a little lazy today. I know I said I was going to make salads tonight to go with our salmon, but what if I did caramelized Brussels sprouts with bacon and onion instead?"
Hubby: "You said we were having salads. I would really rather have salad."
Me: "Oh, but you like those Brussels sprouts."
Hubby: "Yeah but I am in the mood for salad. I don't feel like Brussels sprouts. I don't really like them that much anyway."
And it was only a MINOR adjustment. Forget about any major entree changes ever happening. And he likes Brussels sprouts just fine, just not today.
I'm with your husband on that. I don't like last-minute changes, no matter what it is. Plan your work, then work your plan.

What have you done in the past when you ordered from a restaurant and were told, "Oh sir, I am so sorry. We are 86 that tonight."
Well most of TX is prairie and Colorado is the Rockies so I am seeing a pattern there.
They are mostly called Calf Fries in Texas. When calves are neutered, the testicles are coated with flour and bread crumbs and fried.

Not all American Cheese is fake. If you go to the deli counter, you can get real American cheese. That said, a lot of people are nostalgic for the fake American cheese in the individual wrappers.

I seem to remember Kraft cheese slices here. I wonder if they are still sold... goes to look.
....seems like there are Dairylea brand slices and supermarket's own brand - Cheesy Slices.

One thing I'm adamant about is beer. I won't drink beer from big national breweries like Bud-Miller-Coors (BMC). Their offerings are just so pizz-poor, even when they buy out a craft brewer, they end up effing that up as well (looking at you, Goose Island...😒).
The closest to that I'll drink is Sam Adams. They're probably the biggest of the "craft" brewers, but they pale in comparison to the big three. They brew interesting varieties, and a good portion of it is brewed right here in Cincy, so it's a local beer for me.
I was sat at a bar a few years ago, about to order my first beer, when the bartender set one down next to me without my asking.
"What's this for?"
"Private party in here earlier, we're still finishing the keg, so it's on the house. Coors Light."
I thanked him and pushed it right back and ordered my regular.
On the one occasion we hosted a party, one of the guests brought a 24-pack of Busch. Quite rude in retrospect, but I was fairly well lit on gluhwein, but upon leaving, I handed it back to them, thanked them again, and as nicely as possible, told them "No one here is going to drink this, you may as well take it back."
Weird, they never spoke to me again!
