WEEKEND HAPPENINGS WITH SUPERBOWL FOODS AND DOWNTOWN FUN

Good Morning Kindred Spirits..
I do hope you are all well and happy..
did you enjoy your weekend?
We were able to be outdoors and soak in some
afternoons of warm sunshine and a bit of nature....
so good for the soul....
We dined on Sloppy Joes and Corn on the Cob Friday night.... 
These are simply snippets of our weekend here in
the great state of Texas.....

We had 80 degrees temps through the afternoon on Saturday,
then a cold front arrived bringing an evening in the 50's...
we enjoyed a dinner in the historic district on their patio,
under the heaters..it felt so good to be out!!!



This is one of our favorite gathering places and they
have a robust customer base with great atmosphere 
and absolutely delicious food!

Our granddaughter celebrated her birthday
with a big friends and family party down in Midland....

I am beginning to change out the home decor to a bit of spring....

We both have taken to reading in the living room
during the afternoon....ahhh..retirement....
a rather strange chapter in life....

Sunday was SUPERBOWL SUNDAY....
I served a small menu of appetizers
and made a Bloomin' Onion for the very first time..
this is a bit of process but I think I managed to 
create a delicious air fryer onion...

I just created my own seasonings and will share the entire process
if you are interested....

I love having a side of buttered and toasted french bread for dipping.....

My slow cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip

A favorite of the boys....
Little Smokies in BBQ SAUCE..
we loved Lady Gaga's performance at the Superbowl
and did watch most of the game....
not thrilled about either team this time around...

For those with a sweet tooth...
I made chocolate chip blondies from Taste of Home...delish!

Miss Lucy seems to love getting up really early in the morning
and then enjoys a long afternoon siesta....

It's going to be a week of cold days and rain...
I think Chili will be on the menu..
Thanks for stopping by today...enjoy your week!
