It's still snowing here, so no grilling for us. I made a pot of chicken soup this morning to take out to my mother-in-law who is still recovering from the flu she had a few weeks ago. It was a particularly bad virus this year and she was hit the hardest.
Dinner for us will be browned pork chops on top of sliced potatoes, then topped with cream of mushroom soup and baked in the oven. It's one of those meals from the 60's and Ron still loves it on a cold day.

Barbara,
This would probably be more for a guy's night out, but is Sportsters still there, in Valley Forge?
Always loved their amazing onion-ring loaf.
If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?

Sportsters?? Never heard of it although I googled it and there seems to be one in Pottstown, further up Rt 422.

No. I lived in Pottstown and, when I was there, Sportsters was in Valley Forge. They were one of the earliest "sports bars" with big-screen TVs visible from every seat, etc. Remember seeing Villanova win the NCAA basketball championship in Sportsters, so that gives you an idea how far back that was.

Well that was in '85, but I never recalled going there and don't know if it's still there.

I'm not sure what we're having tonight - depends on how excited I get about all of the prep the dinner I want to make requires.
Jean here is a really refreshing slaw that I made this last weekend. Everyone loved it - and as usual it was better the next day. Talk about beautiful colors too!
