Breakfast:  homemade omelet with

• 3 eggs
• chopped up Tillamook Extra Sharp Cheddar cheese
• chopped up Summer Sausage
• coffee

This meal was well cookedand the service was excellent!

 

Lunch: at the older of two Olive Gardens in Wichita for:

• salad with
• bread sticks
• spaghetti with meat sauce and meat balls
• two glasses of "Diet Pepsi"

The service was a little slow but the food fine!

 

Dinner: at "Bad Habits" and had:

• salad
• ribeye steak
• baked potatoe
• iced water

The steak was greasy but I drank very little after going home so the dinner stayed down.  Kathie had an upset stomach all night. 

 

They brought out the streak while we were only about half way through the salads. They did not bother to offer desert.

 

The service was rather poor...

Breakfast: We went to IHOP and were seated. Then, we began to wait and wait and wait and finally Kathie flagged down a waitress and said "could you get our waitress, please"? If she had not done this, I was prepared to wait 10 minutes and tell the manager, on our way out, how disappointed we were in the bad service.

 

An older waitress come up and said "they didn't tell me you were here". I could believe the receptionist had not bothered telling this waitress of our presence; this waitress was working a different section...

 

She turned out to be a good waitress and we had good service.

 

I ordered:

• T-bone steak medium
• 3 eggs over medium
• hash browns instead of pancakes\
• coffee and
• water

The steak took a while but "oh, well". Kathie had a more complicated order and it came back perfectly. I'm glad now that Kathie flagged down that passing waitress...

 

Lunch:  ruben and later, some boiled rice and coffee and cold water

 

Dinner:  Healthy Choice Asian inspired Café Steamers Beef Teriyaki and iced water

Boston Creamme Cupcakes

1 (3.4 oz) box Vanilla instant pudding

1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup milk

1/2 cup sour cream

(NOTE: this pudding mixture tastes like pastry cream..it can be used as 

a filling for a fruit tart or other pastry calling for cream filling such as 

cream puffs.)

1.Make cupcakes/cake according to directions on box. Use your 

favorite yellow cake, ours is Duncan Hines. Let cool.

2. Mix together pudding, cream, powdered sugar, milk, and sour cream. 

Beat on medium speed until stuff peaks form. For cupcakes, cut each 

cupcake in half and add a dollop of filling. Put top back on cupcake 

and frost with ganache. I am making it as a whole cake, so the entire 

filling is going over one layer and the second layer of cake will be 

covered in the ganache

Ganache:

1 cup heavy whipping cream

12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips

Heat cream in sauce pan until it comes to a boil. Remove from heat, 

pour over chocolate in a mixing bowl. Stir to mix together. Let cool 

slightly.

Keep in refrigerator until ready to serve.

Grandma's Fudge

"Grandma's Fudge"

2 cups white sugar
½ cup cocoa
1 cup milk
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Tools: Candy thermometer

Directions

Note: Making perfect fudge can be a bit tricky and sometimes fudge will crystalize or not set. This old fashioned recipe makes a fantastic fudge. It is best to have a candy thermometer on hand so you know you have reached the necessary temperature.

Butter an 8x8 inch square baking pan. Set aside.
Grease the sides of a medium sized sauce pan with butter.
In saucepan combine sugar, cocoa and milk.
Stir to blend, then bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
Reduce heat and simmer. Do not stir again.
Place candy thermometer in pan and cook until temperature reaches 238 degrees F (114 degrees C).
*If you are not using a thermometer, then cook until a drop of this mixture in a cup of cold water forms a soft ball. Feel the ball with your fingers to make sure it is the right consistency. It should flatten when pressed between your fingers.
Remove from heat. Add butter and vanilla extract.
Beat with a wooden spoon or hand mixer until the fudge loses its shine.
Pour into prepared pan and let cool and cut into small squares.
