What's On Your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?

Good Morning!

I never thought to check the Dollar Tree for snacks! We have a fantastic one by my work, it is my go to for holiday stuff, love it! I can only find plain and BBQ pork rinds; I hear there are salt and vinegar ones, I just can't find them. Boo!!

I think everyone has a canoe story. My parents have always told a story about how they almost divorced after a canoe trip and I always thought they were exaggerating. Until my husband and I went canoeing together. Never again. But for whatever reason, we can do a double kayak without problem. I will also never eat raw kibe again, the texture was a HUGE problem for me (this was way before surgery). And I was so paranoid for the next several days that I was going to get e.coli or something like that. I have also sworn ever driving further south than Ohio with kids again.

Time since surgery: 13 months

B: Hardboiled Egg & Babybel Cheese
S1: Sliced Roma Tomato & Fresh Mozzarella
L: Chicken Salad & Pork Rinds

Hope everyone has a great day!

A kayak sounds terrible, too.  Like a smaller canoe that you are fastened into.  LOL  My brother bought one last year and I was certain he'd finally gone insane.

I think Walmart has Salt and Vinegar pork rinds. I know my Dollar Tree has BBQ and other flavors

I'm drinking from Detroit to Savannah, GA with my kids this summer, blah.

*edited to point out the Freudian slip above, I'll probably want a drink after driving so long with my kids, lol.

You are a much braver woman than I am! Good luck! 

I just bought Mac's Salt and Vinegar Pork Rinds at walmart last night.

Those are my favorite!

I bought Mac's Salt and Vinegar Pork Rinds and pico and lime at Winnco last week. The salt and vinegar are my favorite :)

Morning AV & menu gang.  I have yet to try a Pork rind, its a mental block I have, it just does not sound appetizing to me.  But I think its super cool that your local dollar store carries good protein snacks, that's a win!  Yay for all critter AV!  WOW on the almost no carbs!!!!

QOTD: That's a toss up between riding a roller coaster which I did a few years ago with hubby and my two nieces against my better judgement and after I stumbled off the ride I spent the next four hours puking my guts out, dizzy and nauseous, nope never again. While my husband and two nieces enjoyed the rest of the theme park I was the girl who sat on the park bench and held the knapsacks feeling like death. The other is plan a party with my sister.  Last year was my parents 50th wedding anniversary, my sister and I who are POLAR OPPOSITES planned a party at my sisters house. It was a total headache.  I want X she wanted Y, I wanted this food, she wanted no food, I wanted these decorations, she wanted no decorations, it really was horrible.  Oh forgot to tell you all, my sister was on holiday in St. Martin two weeks ago, she got engaged.  Don't say yay or congrats, she just got engaged to the worlds biggest LOSER/JERK/A-HOLE that ever lived.  My sister and him are both divorced, both have kids from previous marriages this guy is a total and complete nut job. Literally my whole family can't stand him, its pretty bad that she can't see it. Oh well her life not mine.
