Appetizing Muse

Yesterday we had a "potato bar" at home.

I cooked four potatoes in the microwave, and then set out a container of sour cream, a bowl of mixed vegetables, a handful of bacon bits, sliced green onions, green olives and grated cheddar cheese. I was starving by lunchtime so I doctored two potatoes but only ended up eating one of them.

I saw a photo of a juicy hamburger in a magazine yesterday. While I was out attending to other business this morning, I stopped at the grocery store and bought a package of lean beef patties, potato hamburger buns and a head of fresh green-leaf lettuce.

Wilbert works nights, so when I got home he was fast asleep. By the time he woke up at two in the afternoon I had the kitchen table laid out with hamburgers, buns, condiments and a bowl of macaroni and cheese.

My husband was a happy man today.
