Besides hitting up Rite-Aid and Weis on the Day after Christmas, I made an early dinner/late lunch.
I usually make a special dinner on New Year's Day but since eldest son was leaving on Dec. 27th I made it on Tuesday the 26th.
Eldest had been in a long term relationship until the end of Summer this year with a woman who is deathly allergic to shrimp.
One of Eldest son's most favorite foods is shrimp so he hasn't been able to have it in years(since he use to always eat with his ex-fiancée).
So I whipped up a huge plate of shrimp tempura and fries.
Later the day we went to a new brewpub.....
Benny Brewing Company
Cute logo glasses
It still feels weird that all my kids are now of legal drinking age and I drink with them. lol
By the time the giant pretzel got to the table I was loopy!
But I kept up with my beer guzzling family until I had that 10% ABV Bourbon barrel aged chocolate stout.
Oh my.......
The crab bisque was very good....spicy but good.
I don't want to even THINK about how high the bill would have been had we not gone during Happy Hours. lolz
Nice try at a selfie outside the pub. Daughter purposely jumped out of the frame before I snapped the photo. She is a big shit sometimes......
The next day around noon Eldest drove home..........
I guess 5 days with us was more than enough for him. He had plans for New Year's(hot dates!)and also wanted some down time back at his place in VA. He's a high school teacher and has to report back Jan 2nd.
That's the end of our 2017 holiday festivities at Chez Sluggy.
Now I am in clean up/clear out mode.
How about you?
