Snack: A small piece of last night's roast beef. It tasted "OK". Last night, I pressure cooked/boiled a ^$9.09 roast. It didn't fully cook by dinner time (which was my fault) so I left it in the pressure cooker for another couple of hours; I wanted to get it well cooked! I asked "the wife" to put it away when it had fully cooled off and then had to go to bed around 8:30 pm (I get up at 4:15 am). She woke me up around 1:30 am and when she got back from the toilet I asked her "did you put the roast away?" Her reply was "oops! and then she trundled off to put the roast in the refrigerator. She was a little pissed that I was pissed off at her for forgetting this.

I told her I wasn't anger but I guess I still am...

Breakfast: Aunt Jamami pancakes and sausage, some low sugar syrup and margarine and a DP. :(Couldn't have any coffee as we're out; one person who could resupply is in Topeka and the other has today off but will be in tomorrow morning...) Maybe I'll be reduced to stealing a bag of black tea from an old box in the office kitchen...

Snack#2: I'm hungry; I'm going to have a Sunshine CHEEZ-IT Baked Snack Crackers.

Lunch: Applebys where I had the 9 oz sirlon steak, garlic mashed potatoes, somewhat crispy boiled brocolli flowers (with a hint of cheese and crotons on them) and glasses of Diet Pepsi. Since this was a date - and meant to be a pleasant occasion! - I ordered a desert for Kathie and me. She said she didn't want any but I've only known her for 31 years and figured she like it.

She did...
Let's see, how would I compare this "chain" with the "hometown made restraunt owned and operated by a 'local boy'?"

1. The food was comparable but
2. the service was much better!

Based on that, you can see why my wife said about Casey's "we won't be going back there for dinner for a while!" Amen to that!

I wrote a bit of a diabribe about the service last time we were there...

Dinner: We went to the Pratt Lions Club 85^th Anniversary. The meal was roast beef, bar-b-qued beef, cheedar cheese mashed potatoes with chunks, a hamberger bun and choclate cake with choclate frosting. It was really quite good!

As an aside: I believe it was eating the pieces of "bad" roast beef that gave me a serious case of diarehia (literally the Hershey drips) and I'm going to wait a few days before discretely dumping the left over roast beef under the trees in the neighbor's yard. (It is a vacant house.) It might cause trouble for the neighborhood stray dog's but it seems better than shit canning or dropping it through the sink garbage shredder...
