"I swear the spiced sour cream tasted just like when you add the package of taco seasoning but better because I knew exactly whatcwent into it."
hmmmm, I'll have to check that out.

I've got that Caesar marked. I'd love to know what you think. I was planning to double the dressing and marinate the chicken in it. HOLY COW! I just finished reading your post. I'm making the Taco Salad tomorrow night. I am soooo glad to hear it is good! WHEW! This was going to be a stretch for William. Especially since I've served two other salads in the past two days.
This brings me to tonight's plans! To make up for all the salads this week, I'm making the Guinness Pot Roast. Like Bill said yesterday, I'll just crank the air back...LOL! I'm planning to make REAL mashed taters if William remembers to dig potatoes and use up the rest of my napa cabbage in a quick saute. Poor William has been such a trooper with all the experimental stuff lately...LOL! And after today's lunch....YUCK!
We had quit trying to eat out after church because the only thing available was buffet. William finally got tired of the greasy fried seafood. But then we saw that a new place opened. Gave it a try....wished we hadn't. The menu was printed out on folded printer paper. The meats were a choice of stew beef with rice, baked chicken, or turkey and dressing. Then there were a few country veggies, and a choice between two desserts. ALL of it tasted and looked like it came out of a can, a bag, frozen, or a box. No kidding. the girl took our order, William went to the restroom and our lunch was at the table before he could get back. To top it off, I noticed a lipstick print on his tea glass right before we left....EWWWWW! We won't be back.
Sorry for the long post, but I just HAD to share that experience. I know the place is new, but I don't see a lot of the problems improving. William and I discussed it after leaving. This is what the locals expect for Sunday dinner. Even though William will complain he'd like to have something "normal" for dinner from time to time...even he said, "That's not it."
I guess our normal is far different from what people around here expect...LOL! It's no wonder William's friends are always asking what he had or is having for dinner and their wives have misconceptions about my cooking.
