Tuesday goings-on

It seems like it's been a long day. After a late breakfast of coffee and toast, I got ready for work. I had to be there at 11:45. Wound up getting there around 11:15 so I could more or less brace myself for the shift.

I worked until about 5:30 then headed home. While I was at work, one of my nephews stopped by to pick up a box of sweet potatoes Sis (his mother) had gotten for him. M younger daughter was also supposed to stop by to pick up a loaf of jalapeno cheese bread, but it turned out that she had to work her second job tonight. She'll get that tomorrow.

Once I was home, Son and I fired up the grill (and I do mean "fired" since we only use real wood in it) and put several kinds of meat on it to smoke for awhile. Chicken, rabbit, pork steaks, and country ribs smoked for awhile, then we put season on them and added squash, red bell pepper stuffed with cheddar jack shredded cheese, and slabs of pineapple on the grill.

When everything was done we brought it in and had a late supper. We intentionally cooked way more than we needed so that we could put some back for later. I fixed my lunch out of part of it and put that in the fridge. We'll get several more meals from the meats, and I can incorporate the smoked meat into other dishes such as beans.

After supper, we played cards for awhile. First, we tried to learn how to play Gin Rummy. I'm not real sure we did that one right, so we wound up playing 500 Rummy -- an old, tried and true game we are familiar with. I won, which is usually what happens. lol. He enjoyed a cup of cinnamon hot chocolate and I enjoyed hot apple cider while we were playing.

By the time we were through playing cards it was 11:30 PM and past time to go to bed, so we retreated to our bedrooms.
