Lunch, Not Healthy But Darn Good

DD went to get a few things we need for the house. She called and asked how I felt about chili dogs and root beer floats for lunch. Holey cow, she is my kid.

We have the Scrabble board ready to go too on this hot Saturday afternoon.

What's for lunch? Anything fun planned?

I'm going to a kid's birthday party this afternoon. Gonna be hot! But I'm going with two "old high school" friends, so we should have a great time.

"Root beer float" sounds delcious and just perfect to combat this beastly heat.

Years ago we had an A&W drive in near us. Car hops (without roller skates LOL) coming out to take orders and serving hot dogs and ice cold mugs of root beer (no plastic cups way back in the day).

A very happy memory.

Your daughter sounds like a sweetheart. Enjoy!

@CrazyKittyLvr2 Sounds like my kind of lunch and my kind of afternoon. Root beer floats are my favorite! I sure wish my DD and grandchildren were nearby to play Scrabble. DD beat me for the first time earlier this summer. I didn't take it well...

For me , all this hot sweaty weather had me yearning for an old fashion submarine sandwich , like the ones I used to get in Atlantic City at White House sub shop on Arctic Ave. Yea, the same one where Frank Sinatra bought subs that he had sent via plane to Las Vegas when he was performing there.

Unfortunately , where I live we do not have access to that delicious NJ Italian baked bread loaves for sub sandwiches. I am very picky abt the bread , however I've had to settle for what is available . I moisten the bread with Italian or Balsamic salad dsg Then I pile on capocola , ham, turkey, hard salami , provolone cheese , lettuce, tomato , sliced red onions and some of that red pepper paste. A dill pickle added is delightful

@fthunt lol. So far she has won 2 to my one. She didn't beat me by much on either game.

I had a McDonald's large iced carmel macchiato & a daily double for lunch...it was a needed treat after being diagnosed with Shingles today. UGH.

Shingles are terrible. I hope you feel better soon!

Not to sidetrack the thread, but @skatting44, just to give you a heads up, White House can be found on Goldbelly. Goldbelly prices can seem a little steep, but I think it's worth it for that occasional nostalgic treat. Unless it's for a special occasion I like to wait until they have a sale.

DSD2, we still have a couple A&W drive-ins here in Mid-Michigan. DELICIOUS, and the carhops are quick!
