I looked at the clock on my computer and it read midnight.
"I know you've got to be tired," I told him. "Is Charlie washing dishes?"
"You know he is," dad said with a laugh. "I tried to get him to go home to no avail. I can sleep in tomorrow morning. He has to work."
"Charlie's a good friend," I told my father.
The plate was delicious. I tasted everything. It was actually three plates. One plate had a hunk of prime rib on it with garlic and cheese mashed potatoes and sauteed green beans. The next plate was a very tender baked chicken in a mushroom and white wine sauce, sweetened baby carrots, and another heaping helping of garlic and cheese mashed potatoes. The last plate had a slice of chocolate cake, key lime pie, and pecan pie.
Kiddies? Remember! Dessert first!
Yes, I ate all of the dessert first and put the rest in the fridge for tomorrow. I have an almost insatiable sweet tooth.

Short and Simple...
Tonight, I am going to keep my grocery shopping short and simple. I am definitely getting more of that International Delight hazelnut coffee creamer to put in my milk. That is so delicious, but probably a 1000 calories. Speaking of milk, I will get 3 or 4 gallons.
It is going to be a breakfast food themed week. I never tire of scrambled eggs, bacon, cheddar slices, and buttered biscuits. Grits always make an impromptu appearance at times as well. I am really leaning towards sausage instead of bacon this week, but will probably get both.
We will have a repeat on the apple pie filling/topping and vanilla ice cream. I plan to get two of each.
