What's On Your Monday Menu, RNYers?

Sadly, too many people do stop learning by 6th grade.

I'm being honest here,  but I never went to school past the 8th grade.  I had a very,  very bad childhood,  and I left school at 15 after failing twice in middle school.  I was 15 yearss old and I got a full time job. I do not have a college degree. 

Being uneducated is no excuse for being ignorant.  

I agree. Education and intelligence often have nothing to do with one another.

Totally agree.  It is the openness to new ideas, curiosity about things that are unfamiliar and willingness to learn that counts most.

My favorite people are those that continue to learn and grow, throughout their lives. They possess a flexibility of mind and temperament that make them fun to be with.

My daughter just told me tonight that she loves talking to this older gentleman at work because he makes her look at things in a different way and she learns from it. Yesterday he mentioned an Aesop's Fable that she was unfamiliar with so she came home and read about it last night and went back in today and discussed it further. Everyone should strive to keep on learning.

I have a nice two day workweek this week!  Excited to be going camping with friends (although I wi**** was the desert and quad riding, but they don't know how to dry camp well enough so we have to have hookups).  Not a huge fan of Thanksgiving food, so this should be okay for me.  We are sharing meals during the weekend and I was asked to make my chili for dinner one night. It is made with ground turkey and pretty healthy. I have made it this way for over 10 years and my friend asked me if I could make it with ground beef. Ummm.  No. This is my recipe and we already have beef on the menu for 3 other meals.  

I was complaining today that I have to try everything on before I can pack clothes (things I don't normally wear like my thermals and long sleeve shirts-since there hasn't been a need for these things in California).  Haha...Tough problems to have, I know.  Basically I have to choose the least baggy of my jeans and long sleeve shirts because I am not buying any new ones right now. My focus has been on replacing work clothes so I don't look like a hobo at work.  Camping isn't a fashion contest, so I will get by.

Hope you all have a great holiday and spend time with family and friends.

After I had my surgery I started cooking all of my beef meals with turkey instead. My husband never even noticed :P

AV,

Cold and snowy here in California as well. Don't know how to manage this. Miss my hour long power walks. Guess I'll manage. Have a great Thanksgiving all my OH friends and family.
