LOL... thanks John:


 
If people from Poland are called Poles, then why aren't people from Holland called Holes?


Later dinner was the last of the left over roasted veggies heated in the Air Fryer and stuffed sole (Omaha Steaks) cooked in the copper pot with the steamer rack in the oven for 40 minutes. 
I put a dollop of Trader Joe's Tartar Sauce with it...  YUMMMMMMM!






This shared by Rod Johnson (LASD ret. former USMC) and this 11 year old will blow your mind. She is amazing... Smart! Frank! Articulate! Wow......



All I know. Nuff said. Happy Tuesday. Ciao.
