Maeghan has another driving lesson today. She said she did good. They let her mother ride with her today and she said Maeghan drives really slow but otherwise does ok. I always tell Maeghan that I heard about her driving lesson on the news. She doesn't believe me. They usually come up for lunch after she has a lesson. Today, I brought them a bunch of boxes down from my work to help with their packing. We then had lunch, or they had lunch. I bought them a hotdog and something called loaded waffle fries. Weird things that had some kind of very thin gravy on them and a very small amount of cheese and some fake bacon, or what passes for bacon over here. It was also very salty as I had a couple of them to try.
Maeghan showed me her hotdog and that it was white in the middle. I told her that is because they do not know how to make hotdogs here in Austria. It was also covered in the same liquid cheese and fake bacon with some fake BBQ sauce on it. It looked ok but I didn't try it. I had coffee, which turned out to not be so bad even though it looked like it was going to be really, really strong. It wasn't, not that I mind strong coffee but Juanita hates it. It was ok.
Tonight, Juanita has friends coming over. Apparently, this is a regular thing now. Not so sure why. I usually stay over there on Friday and Saturday. With the new guests on Fridays, I have to cook for them. The first time, I was not told this and didn't have anything planned. Plus, I was really tired so I made something they ate and I went to bed. They left before I woke up so I didn't really get to talk to them. One of them is Joe, Juanita's cousin who used to read this blog at some point way in the past. I don't think she still does, nobody does, but she comes over on Fridays with one or more of her kids. She usually brings the boyfriend but this past time, he was on the outs with her so he did not come. I think today they will both be there but as they cancelled at the last minute last week, I am not sure who will be coming.
Apparently, I am making chicken parmesan. It's not really chicken parmesan but just something I threw together a few weeks ago and she wants me to make it again. It really just a chicken schnitzel with some ham, cheese, and spaghetti sauce on top. It's ok, but if I was really going to make it right, I'd do it differently that what I have been. Now, it's store bought schnitzel, cheddar cheese, and some jarred spaghetti sauce, with some thin sliced deli ham on it. Since I have to do this after working all day, that is about all I am ready to cook when I get there. It does have the advantage that William likes it and he doesn't like anything.
I wanted to do brussels sprouts with it but they are apparently out of season or the veggie-shop that is near my work does not have any. They actually have purple sprouts but I have never tried them. I assume they are the same but they were pretty small so I did not get any. I got zucchini instead. I'll fry that and have it with the other things. Juanita wants me to make mashed potatoes but that doesn't really got with it. I might make roasted potatoes but I will probably just end up with mashed since I am too tired to make a lot of things.
Well, it is almost time to go. A quick entry just to keep my hand in. Not a lot to talk about and I didn't say anything about anything so I guess it was a good entry. I should start heading out, it is 4:58 so I get off work by the time I close this out and post it. As I have not looked for a picture yet, I might have to leave it off. Of course, if you are reading this, you already know if there was a picture or not.
Gotta go
Until next time
