Lamb and Frog

It’s Thursday…Parents all across America know what that means…Dollar forty-nine hamburger Happy Meals at McDonalds. My kids love ‘em and Granny (rest her soul) got me hooked on the fries at an early age.

As I said, all across America parents know what Thursday means…big long line at the drive thru. No problem. Two hamburger Happy Meals, one with Coke, one with Dr. Pepper (usually it’s chocolate milk, but I was feeling extra kindly toward the kids) and one Big Mac Combo Meal with sweet tea (I have recessive southern genes that rear their heads occasionally…usually around food).

Get home with ‘food’. Make hamburgers into cheeseburgers by adding sliced cheese and nuking. Make Coke into Cherry Coke by adding cherry syrup (always in stock because of those southern genes…the only proper Cherry Coke is ‘made’ Cherry Coke). Duck wants fries with ketchup. Stinky wants fries with mustard. In a fit of ‘don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it’ I have both mustard and ketchup (but not mixed) with my fries. Add ice to sweet tea (because it’s made ‘proper’ it usually melts the ice in the cup before I get home).

It may have been faster just to cook dinner at home.
