This Week on the Dining Table....Dec. 30 to Jan. 11

 The "Coyotes" Edition........

On Thursday night after dark we heard a row out in the woods behind the house.  It was a local pack of coyotes

going to town, vocalizing.  I tried to get it on film(well, the sound)but by the time I got my phone outside, my el chupacabra(Chester the chihuahua)kept barking in the house so it was hard to hear on the video.

What is getting fixed and served at your house this week?

Was last week's plan successful, did you go off plan or did you not even plan what was going to be eaten last week?
