In The English Kitchen today . . .  Baked Corn Dogs.  This was incredibly yummy. I served it with baked beans. Hotdogs are a favorite thing.  I don't eat them very often.

I am supposed to go out to lunch today with a bunch of ladies from church.  I am not 100% sure I will go or not.  I went out for supper with my dad last night and I don't really like eating out in restaurants that often. I will see how I feel about it later this morning. They are meeting at noon. I hadn't been going to go out to supper yesterday, but my father was determined to go out and I did not want him to be there all by himself, so I went. It had started to snow by the time we were ready to leave.  I wasn't too keen on that either, but I did it.  I got home safe and sound which is the important thing, and dad didn't have to eat on his own.

I don't know why he is determined to eat out every Wednesday. I suppose it gets him out of the house and gives him something to do.  And the waitresses all make a fuss of him, which he also likes. It is his birthday tomorrow.

I hope that you have a beautiful day. Whatever you get up to stay safe and stay warm!  Don't forget!
