This is a time of great joy in our household. Nothing beats family time, especially when every member of our family is at the same place at the same time. We went through the drive through at Arby's yesterday with a full load of passengers. Our order shocked the guy on the intercom. "That's all?" he asked. Yep. We ordered one sandwich and it wasn't for us. No drinks. Nothing extra. That's what happens when pretty much the whole family has given up on fast foods. This sandwich may be the last one ever ordered by my immediate family. My wife's aunt is the last holdout for fast food and this sandwich is for her. She may only eat one bite. That's okay. It's sort of a last happy meal for her as she is in her final stages of hospice care before getting called up. Susie LOVES Arby's. The joy I saw on her face when we showed up unannounced will remain in my head all the days of my life.
When it comes to family meals, we are a bit odd. Some of us are OMAD (one meal a day), and others are 2MAD (2 meals a day). Last night we sat down for something really special – grass fed barbecued steaks on the Weber from our own supply of meat. We decided to split the special order with a couple of other families. The preparation was a bit tedious because these steaks were over-sized. I was able to get six generous portions, enough for the whole family with one left over for my breakfast this morning.
If you're curious about our odd eating habits, stay tuned. Soon you will be reading a guest post from one of our adult children who is inspiring his own circle of friends to give up the standard American diet. The results are shocking. Have a great day.
