Happy Friday, all! Sorry for the absence all week but the week has been a bit of a blur because we got the outside of the house painted, and I had a lot of stuff to do in advance.

I know. Lame excuse, dude.

I did whip up a few quick meals that I'll post, but let these Bob Hope funnies be your appetizer! Thanks to Kathleen for the laughs.

Have a great weekend, everyone. Keep cooking!
