November 9.  How does this happen?  And it has rained for four days--in November.  Gushing rain.  Spring rain.  

I decided I needed to eat something besides tomato soup, so i went to Fish City on Wednesday and ordered pecan crusted tilapia.  Delicious.  I guess I am just going to have to eat out by myself more often.  Jeanette went with me, but I probably am going to have to eat out by myself every day because I am shrinking.  I am going to have to eat more meat.  I don’t like meat.

Ann and I went to lunch yesterday.  I ate shrimp.  I know, I know, I need beef.  Good old chuck roast with carrots and potatoes.  And gravy.  I love gravy on torn up bread.  When I had Ken and four children to feed, I did roast, pork chops, turkey, fried chicken, chicken fried steak.  It was easy to feed a crowd.  It’s hard to cook for one.  You end up throwing food out which is a no-no.  Someone on my block needs to start a “Gather together Tuesday pot luck,” or something like that.  Me?  No.
