Day 2 Broken Bow part 2

I had heard that the Blue Rooster for quite awhile.  Was happy to be able to give the food a try. 

The outside decorations are very cute.  So I knew we were at the correct place.  

A Quick Look at the menu’s.  

Brody got a Bloody Mary. It looked very good.  

Would you believe I forgot once again to take pictures of the food.  We went with 2 pounds of catfish, fries and fried okra. It also came with hush puppies.  

Here’s my tray of food.  Liked the convenience of the paper trays, did not have silverware either.  Simple way of serving everyone.  Would say also inexpensive  on overhead expenses. 

Brody ordered the appetizer of fried jalapenos and fried pickles.  I especially enjoyed the appetizer.

Brody, Lane, Landon and Savannah enjoying their meal.

The upstairs was cool. Something for everyone to do.  My favorite was the pac man game.  That was one of my favorite arcade games back in my younger days.  Will admit I wasn’t very good playing it today.  

Lane and Grampa playing with the games upstairs.  I might be wrong but I think Lane was the winner.😂

Brody grilled out for us. It was so darn good. One of the best steaks I have had in ages.  Normally I need steak sauce, not with this steak.  Food is always better with family members.

 

Last cookout for summer

Oh my goodness these steaks was so very good!  We also had hamburgers, hot links and smoked sausage to go with the steaks.  We always tend to cook way more than we should. Which means that we can have leftovers for several days.  

Baked beans was a big hit as well.  For my family we can't have a cookout with out baked beans. I tend to make my baked beans sweet.  Mr. C. likes the original baked beans better. 

Made a baked potato bar with all the yummy toppings. Went to our local grocery store and bought the biggest baking potatoes I could find.  Our normal side is potato salad but I wanted baked potatoes instead.  

Trying to get everything organized and realized I did not put down a plastic tablecloth. It just seems more colorful when I use a tablecloth. I should have taken a picture when I had everything set up correctly. 

We sure like to grill out every chance we get.  Plus having some of the kids and grandchildren over is the highlight of our day. 

I am a little sad to see summer draw to a close.  I don't feel like I got to do much fun summer events.  Am going to try to get out more during the fall.

Everyone what is something your looking forward to this fall?  I think I am going to try to bake a homemade apple pie!  

 

Memorial Day Weekend

Here in Oklahoma the weather has been beautiful.  It’s in the lower 90’s with a nice breeze.  Mr. C has been outside most of the day.  Brody has been a huge help with grilling.  As always we ended up grilling way too much.  Which should mean leftovers for my lunches this coming week.

This weekend I have missed my loved ones.  Lots of great memories floating around in my mind of my parents.  Miss the family gatherings when mom and Grandma Pearl were here with us.  Each and everyday I miss the wisdom that mom and dad shared with me.

My new job is going okay.  I really am going to love it once I learn more about it.  It’s a learning curve for sure. No comparison to the flower shop at all.  Love the bi-weekly check so I know what my pay is each payday.  Most important I have health coverage.  At my age healthcare is critical.  It only takes a second for a accident to happen.

Will enjoy a paid day off tomorrow!  Wow who doesn’t like being paid to stay home? I’m over here doing the happy dance!  I feel like my new career is opening new doors for me.   Although in all reality I must say I need to give praise to God.  He is the one who has made all things possible.
