11/2/24 - Meals

I remember TGI Friday, I never understood why it was so popular. I think that many restaurant chains are closing due to high inflation, rising food costs, and higher wages that are squeezing profit margins. People now want more quality if they decide to eat out.

I have to tell you, I ate at TGIFriday’s once. I haven’t found myself hungry enough to eat there again. I came to Chuy’s for lunch because I’ll have to miss coming here at least two days next week for the car being in the shop, so chicken taco for lunch and the other one for dinner. The green chile rice helps my sinuses as much as the salsa! Oh, and more fruit cocktail and yogurt and fiber bars!

I have somehow never been to a TGI Fridays. Yesterday, I had chicken and rice, vegan jerky, two Mexi Melts from Taco Bell, and two pears.

I heard of one restaurant after another closing down around my area. Also, got an email today about 750 closures of banks across the country. I checked and mine is still going strong. I didn't have to change the time on any of my clocks. They all do it automatically.

We had several TGI Fridays restaurants. They all closed before the pandemic. The food and service were severely lacking, even then.

I had Apple Jacks cereal for breakfast and Texas Roadhouse for lunch/dinner we ate so much at lunch that i didn't have dinner as i was still full.

I had Chili beans, and vegtables.

They are going to continue to stay open though I hear.

Hubby did the clocks

I just had a little chicken Alfredo for dinner. It's bedtime now

I turned my clock back the cats stayed on theirs it will take time to adjust, I had some Hormel chili and later made some croissants from frozen dough.

We had one close to us. Food was pretty good. Then it closed and a Mexican place opened in its place. Didn’t last long.

So all these foods are from restaurants?

how do you feel after changing the clock? o, mashed potatoes, i should make them this week but i need to buy potato first

I made chicken tenders for dinner with mashed potatoes, corn and a fresh peach.

One word. Inflation. It's killing everyone, including businesses. They can't keep passing along the higher costs of doing business, which is why suggesting price gouging is a thing is ridiculous. Therefore, they have no other choice than to restructure or even close doors. It's sad where we have allowed ourselves to get to and may be willing to allow for more pain ahead on November 5th. From porous borders to crime through the roof, to high energy bills and food bills, to credit card debt reaching the trillions with people just struggling to survive... We cannot, with good conscience, allow this to continue. But we DO deserve every bit of pain and misery we vote for. End of rant. As for my dinner, we finished up the batch of steak chili I made.

I made pasta yesterday and had leftovers for today.
