Love The Waldorf

When's the last time you had a Waldorf salad? If you're like me, you probably can't even recall. It's not something I've ever made and it's not very common to have on restaurant menus here in the Southwest.

I had some last night and the leftovers tonight and it was so good that I won't wait nearly as long between eatings.

The reason I had it is that I hosted book club last night and my original dinner plan was to get takeout salads from Acacia Cafe. Unfortunately, I forgot to check their hours of operation and they close at 3 PM. I called at 3:02 PM.

Next idea was to hit up Costco. They had Caesar Salad, Spinach Salad and Waldorf Salad all ready for assembly so I snagged those and some nice bread, cheese and crackers. Dinner problem solved in one stop, sweet!



All of the salads were good but I was so excited about the Waldorf that I couldn't stop myself from sharing how long it had been for me and asking everyone else when was the last time they'd had a Waldorf. Turns out, a long, long time was the answer for all of us.

Good stuff and I'm keeping it in the back of my mind for my next rush dinner. Or, if I just want to have some. Yummy.

TV At Its Finest

I was talking to someone today who didn’t know who Bob Newhart was. I cut him some slack because he’s a youngster and didn’t grow up in the U.S. I told him about The Bob Newhart show and how it became a college drinking game and about Newhart, "Hi, I'm Larry; this is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl." He was going to go to Wikipedia and do some research. The conversation got me thinking. Back in the day (like when dinosaurs were alive and I was young and there were only four channels on TV), we caught a lot of reruns of what are now considered classic TV. Especially, if you were a latchkey kid like I was, there wasn’t a lot going on in the afternoon/early evening so it was either soap operas or reruns unless you were allowed to be outside and play. And, of course, during summer vacation you had even more time to watch the boob tube. Here’s what I remember watching during those years: Gilligan’s Island, Big Valley (I’m still looking for my very own N...

February 2020

Most of 2020 sucked. But, there were some good moments that made memories to cling to. I'm going to review some of those moments from each month. (Disclaimer - my memory isn't what it used to be so this is my story and I'm sticking to it regardless of reality.) I moved into my house in May of 2019 and it was already hot out so I used the Arizona summer as an excuse not to do anything to my patio or yard. I don't recall what excuse I used to justify ignoring the both in the fall and winter. Let's go with complete laziness. It's entirely plausible. However, I had to get on the stick and pretty it up because I had a bunch of company scheduled for the spring. The first thing I did was get some inexpensive chairs from Target for my beat up table. I honestly thought I could jam them into my car. I really, really did. One would never guess I was a Tetris master. After several futile attempts, this is how it ultimately went down. Adam (answering cell): Hi, Kathy! Me: Hi...
