Pluggers by Rick McKee for August 19, 2024

Ha! Rookie! I will think about what I’m going to eat the next day while I’m eating my dinner today!

Since I am the cook I’m always asking myself what’s for dinner ;-)

Some pluggers lie awake at night wondering if they’ll wake up dead the next morning.

When you’re a kid, ‘visions of sugarplums dance in your head’…

MMMm Pizza! Loaded with anchovies, black olives and pineapple! (OK, I kid)

Snap, crackle, pop.

Me no waste time theenking. Me rather spends time eating.

I may lie awake, but most often about what I ate that day.

What to eat? I lie awake woundering what I forgot to do that day or what I can’t forget to do the next day..

I must be odd, I rarely think about what I’m going to eat until ~30seconds prior to eating

…or both??

Not me! I cook a big pot of something that lasts for a week or two so I don’t have to deal with cooking all the time!!!

That plugger should go to bed on a full stomach – won’t lie awake thinking of anything ..

Let’s see…three walnuts in elegant flower pots to the north, peas and beans in the vegetable garden to the east, two haute cusine bird feeders to the south, a trash can du jour to the west.

That plugger’s thinking about a mid-night snack.

Me sometimes.

Meals vary by the day of the week in our house to keep husband happy.

Though – it being summer and we have been eating out more than normal once a week – Ikea has good deals on meals in their cafeteria and we go for (went tonight) for their Tuesday night "Any hot entree for US$3.99. Friday nights they have been having 50% off any hot entree.

Plus our weekly visit to a Asian buffet. (Our rule – “All you can eat is an offer not a challenge.”)
