Sunday Lunch
My sister is playing old man’s marbles today. I don’t like the game, so she did not even bother to ask me along. My father will be having lunch at his retirement village and will be joining her after lunch, so I have the place for myself today.
And I’ll be making my own food for a change.
I asked Bea to come around for lunch with me; she undertook to bring a salad or two and will provide the dessert. She’ll be here early to give me a hand.
I’m not very fond of chicken but today I’m in the mood for it. I’ll be off to the supermarket to get some after posting this blog. I don’t like the white meat of a chicken; too dry. I only eat the thighs, drumsticks and the wings and only if the skin is nice and crispy. I’ll be cheating today. I’m going to do the chicken in the microwave before putting it in the oven.
I don’t know yet what we’ll have with it, I’ll have to see what is available, but spinach, butternut, and green beans will probably win. Those are my favorites. I have potatoes in the house and with a helping of rice it should make the meal. And not to forget the wine. I have a crisp dry white in the fridge since last night.
We’ll probably spend the rest of the afternoon listening music. We share the same taste in music and never bother with the TV. In all, I’m looking forward to a blissful day. I always enjoy it when she’s around; it’s a pity she is just a sister to me.
Have a great Sunday!

I seldom eat chicken. I prefer red meat, more specifically of the bovine variety. I'm just in a rare mood for chicken.
A very wide variety, from classic to rock. The Bee Gees, Simon & Garfunkel, and the Bellamy Brothers are rated very high by both of us.
hmm, talking to me again?
Bea sends her regards.
Very good choice of music there, I gotta say
Please send my regards to Bea also. I've always liked her on the blogs.
I still don't know why you were mad with me. It was a prank and Bea was in it with me.
It'd be grand if the two of you......well, I guess it'd be just a wishful thinking...
As for not getting crossed with Bea....it was entirely YOUR idea and I'm pretty sure she had been coerced into it!
Bea cannot he coerced into anything. That man is yet to born.
I'm not going to respond on the other part of your comment.
Anyways sounds like you have the lunch date all ready to go. Enjoy it.
On your last point of saying: "It is a pity she is just a sister to me" sounds like can't it be changed? Into something I mean? So it is not a gush of pity anymore? Just asking..
Now that is food fit for a king.
A while ago my sister made 'oxtail'. It was delicious, and only the bare bones on my plate gave it away as ostrich neck. And bear in mind that I don't eat ostrich at all. But she can make her 'oxtail' any day again. I'll eat it.
Lunch was hours ago. Bea has gone home some 20 minutes ago. It is 6:20 PM here.
My grandmother kept chicken in her backyard. They were great to eat. If our municipal bylaws were not so strict I would have kept a few hens. In some places you may still keep hens, but no roosters.
Yes, it was great, thank you!
And everybody is back home now.
Yea it is a pity. Loose running poultry, scratching for worms and fed on grain are still the best.
yes it was great. An ordinary day turned into a great day. It is like this whenever my sister is away. Not that it is not nice when she is here. I just miss my privacy. I've been threatening for a long time now to get my own place again. I think it is time.
Havung very bad connectivity again.
Shucks, pages take for ever to load.
But this time I'll do what I should have done in the first place. Get a smaller place. That vandalized house was a mistake.
I got what I was looking for size and location wise, but with a lot of stuff to do and a WAY bigger garden than I was looking for. Love it!
It takes time and patience though to find something suitable.
There is a two bedroom townhouse with a small back garden close by that is in the market. I know what they look like inside. I should think about it. If only the kitchen was a bit larger. I like space in the kitchen.
