Let me re word my original post, the article was saying a lot of chefs are starting to feel as though places/chefs are being over looked for M stars and James Beard awards because they may not meet a certain criteria. And that they should rework the grading systems so these places get looked at.

As for me, I've done my dance with fine dining, wasn't me. I hated making food that looked like it belonged on the wall at a museum. I prefer my down to earth places that serve amazing food that don't require tweezers for plating.

I agree.

Good morning!! Whiskey caught me lurking. My favorite way to start the day,,, coffee and catching up on what's going on here. Had the granbabies yesterday. They surprised me with homemade birthday cards and a cake. So sweet!

Went to the casino last night for a little birthday drink and some adult entertainment. I was instructed to get shit-faced since I always seem to win when I do that. I gave it one hell of a try,, the Switchback was delicious!! I didn't really overdo, but had my fair share and yeah, I won another $600. I'll add that to the Vegas stash already in my sock drawer. WOOHOO!! Two weeks from today and that's where I'll be! Gotta map out the vape shops there.

Happy birthday MK!!

Hubs is working an OT today so groceries and housework today. And time to get the suitcases out. I'll pack and repack at least 6 times before we go,,, idk why, I just do.

Breazy,,, there's so much I've wanted to say. As parents we always feel somewhat responsible for the choices our kids make. But they're just that... CHOICES that THEY have made. And there are consequences. My husbands daughter is a prime example.. She's been through rehab several times, says all the right things when she's there (or in jail) but the second she gets out she goes right back to the loser boyfriend and the drugs. She's been in jail, she's lost custody of her three kids and will go to court this week and lose her rights to even see them or be anywhere near them. It's horribly sad and been a nightmare for her entire family. I know addiction is an awful disease but you have to WANT to fight it and I have never believed she wants it. Hubs is finally realizing that he has to let her go. Hardest thing in the world to do,,, let them go. You, like my husband, have done everything you can and your sons choices are not yours and you're not responsible for them. My heart breaks for you. I let my son go 3 years ago,, he's not an addict, he's just an asshole who treated me very poorly. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I feel for you buddy,,, please don't dive into a bottle. It's SO not worth it and won't fix anything.

Off the soapbox.... And I hope you all have a terrific day!!

Carbon copy to the letter with my daughter, I've had to go this alone for the last 3 years as her father passed away from cancer, needless to say, we all have that fight in us and hope that things will turn themselves around for them , when truth is , they need to make that choice for themselves, and we as parents have to back off and hope for the best, it is the hardest thing in life to see your child grow up making the wrong choices and showing you the deaf ear as they do this. Love them, keep in contact with them and hope and pray the addiction grip looses it's hold and they want to get clean. I have suffered through over 15 years of this from her. I still don't know where this will go. Support but do not enable is the motto I have learned.
Edit.....she was in prison (2nd time) and was unable to attend her fathers funeral, blames me
