Mary offered me anything I would like for breakfast! Is this my last meal??
I was up at 6:36 am, and Mary was up about twenty minutes later. We had our coffee in the office, and Mary did a final check on our website that has our recent trip to the East Coast. She also proofed my Daily Dairy from last night.
It must be Fall as Alexa announced it would only be 75 degrees today; it’s time to wrap up in a bankey and watch TV by the fireplace.
I made my “last meal” selection: Tacos from Del Taco for lunch. I could live like every day is Taco Tuesday! Later in the day, Mary will prepare turkey legs for an early dinner. I can’t eat anything after 9:00 pm because of tomorrow’s surgery.
Mary had a real breakfast while I gorged on three hard-shelled tacos with the El Diablo hot sauce! What do you call a semi-aquatic reptile that loves Mexican food? A tacodile!
Taco’s for my last meal?
From Del Taco, we went VFR to Ralph’s Market for a quart of milk. Oh my, we ended up with a load of groceries. It took us four trips from the trunk to the kitchen.
I had one job: writing expiration dates on all the incoming goodies. I guess you could say I had a ‘good’ job! But I had to be quick, or else the goodies would go wrong while I was still writing!
We carefully crammed all the goodies into the frig after removing the science projects and other food green colors (that were not vegetables).
At 2:00 pm, Mary began fixing dinner, peeling onions and bell peppers for the turkey legs. These puppies were nice and big and were ready for cooking. They must have belonged to a 100-pound bird! Perhaps they were mislabeled and it was really a turka-saurus ot a thunder lizard?
The onions and bell peppers will be amazing after cooking with the birdie legs!
Mary put them in the oven for an hour at 350 F covered, then for 30 minutes covered with the veggies added, and finally for 30 minutes with the foil removed!
Mama made the most incredible turkey legs! They turned brown after the cover was removed.
Meanwhile, we set up and activated our new air fryer from Amazon. We have an Emeril Lagasse 26 QT extra large air fryer and a convection toaster oven with French doors, all in excellent stainless steel. It fits perfectly in the corner of the kitchen!

The advertisement looks better!
The turkey legs were made in the conventional over THIS TIME.
Perfect!!!
Mary also made some freshly picked green beans that were amazing.
The potatoes came from the new air fryer at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, and we were ready to eat.
Tummies became full quickly!!
We made extra turkey legs for Dianne and Jeff and took the legs to Jeff before hitting the sack.
Irene is coming to be with Mary tomorrow and will be here at 5:30 am. She is such a great friend! Besides, Scout will be pleased; Irene is his new best friend!!
I may have a short daily diary entry tomorrow because of the operation, but I’ll be there!
