Mrs. Valentino

Got to thinking, last night, about a friend who lives, or lived in East Hanover, New Jersey, Michael, Mike Valentino. Mike was an "expert" tile layer. When I knew him he was back living with him Mom and Dad. He had to be picked up each day, no drivers license, I think he had a few DUI's. He had a nice car, forget what it was, but, no, Mikey didn't drive.

We used to kid him, "What day is it Mike, then that means roast beef for dinner, huh?"

His Mom had a seven day menu, the same thing each week. Ham on Monday, Roast Beef on Tuesday, etc., etc., etc. Every day of every week, the same thing.

It's not a bad idea. Easy to shop for, easy to plan, as often as she did it, well, it should be pretty good. No hassle for her, she knew each day what she was going to fix, and, it got a little easier each time, and, no experimenting.

Not a bad idea.
