Game Night

I love mahjong!   The game, similar to rummy, is a tile game using skill, strategy, calculations and involves a degree of chance.  First game of the evening I was dealt three jokers!!! Then I drew two, making a total of five jokers. I just knew I would win the hand.  Not only did it I not win, no one did.  Eventually, I did mahjong after about four games.

For our game night I decided to make burgers which I typically do not eat a lot of, but really like.  Why you ask, because if I have a burger I want either fries which we had this night, or chips.  I think of all those calories, especially if I know there will also be dessert.  The dessert is always more important.   Not that I wouldn't just have it all, because I have and do, just not very often.

 Just recently while visiting family in Texas, we were at my nephews for a cookout where I did eat it all.  Jonathan grilled burgers using Special Shit.  Now I had never heard of this special seasoning.  I said to him, "is this a joke?"  Not only was it for real, it was very, very good with  the perfect amount of salt, pepper, seasoned salt, chili powder, garlic and paprika.  I pulled out my phone and ordered three bottles right then before he even got the meat off the grill. It's that good.

Taking a break playing Mahjong, I sliced up some pie.  This was the first time I had ever made this.  The one thing I would do different would be to not put the banana's in.  I would slice up the banana's and place on top when I'm ready to serve.  The banana's freeze and get hard once frozen.  Other than that is was yummy.
