Cast iron cooking
-
ND Mike well you know if you get locked up down there that’s all inclusive food as well, just no booze…and the wife would be pretty mad too!
Tex_77 true story!!!

ND Mike Wife and I used to do the same, just all inclusives, anything else was a waste of money in our eyes and vacation was all about drinking and eating as much as possible and laying by pools while people brought us food and drink. She changed one day though, I saw signs of it here and there, not having that extra drink, drinking more water than captain morgan. I suspected what was happeneing but before I knew it, it had spread to me too! Now, we are VRBO people and she spends more time working out than laying on the beach!

Jonathon ohh I can do that too! We have done some of that too. Good thing about that is you can go to the store and buy the food you want. Usually a lot cheaper to stay too!!!

Whipped out an 8” CI that has been in the family around 90 years , cooked the bacon ens ten cooked up a Serrano pepper mix to put on or burgersWhat a day!!!
I love these holidays !

Tex_77 hahahaha. This was a wife/hubby trip that turned into a family trip instead. We tried to go to Jamaica twice but Covid screwed that up. I traded our travel voucher for a family trip. I miss the all inclusive food and booze. This is going to be a spendy 7 days!
-
ND Mike Oh, the spendy, spendy week. You will not have fun if you even think how much is being spent.
zbigjeff oh I know…I was already complaining to the wife about how much we spent in the first day and a half! Only thing I tell myself is that we are making memories with kids. In the blink of an eye they we will be out of the house. Last time we were here with them was 6 years ago when my youngest was 5. Now that he is 11, it is so much more fun with him. He’s my daredevil and will go on all the fun coasters!!! Also have to remember it is only $$$ and I can’t take it to the grave.

ND Mike You have your head in the correct place. It’s always good to poopoo something to let them know that there are limits. Setting those limits is key. But, they will be out of your perview soon enough. Enjoy them now.

ND Mike yup as many will tell time will go fast and before you know it they are making their own way. You never stop worrying though. All you can do is be a good example, help build them a strong foundation and let them know that you are there for them. Sometimes you need to let them struggle to figure things out with a little out of sight guidance/help. So enjoy them now and create your memories.

YooperDog yep for sure. My wife and are are definitely not helicopter parents. I let my kids fail and struggle before I offer some advice. I also let them know that life isn’t fair and is at times a struggle. Also there will be no participation tropies in real life.

always Rember that your kids will learn more from your actions than what you say and then take it to another level

Jonathon VRBO is the way to go. I’d much rather relax at ‘home’ than a motel/resort. I prefer cooking for for friends and family than dining out in most cases. I will often look at the menu at a restaurant and can get enough of an idea about the prep by their description to make it at home. I’m willing to spend the bucks on occasion for fine dining but I also enjoy the challenge of doing it for myself.

Joe Hell I am with you there. I spent a good part of a career living on the road. I just got tired of looking at a menu and living out of a bag. I always looked forward to coming home and waking up and knowing where you are.

YooperDog Joe Hell People who didn’t travel really don’t and can’t understand about eating out every night at restaurants. Hell, I used to come home from 2 weeks on the road and what’s the first thing she wants to do is “go out to eat”. There are only a few restaurants that can supply me with a “taste” that’s worth going to their place to eat. That’s why now I enjoy the “chase the taste in my own kitchen” and it is nice to wake up in a place that’s familiar.

zbigjeff I can understand perfectly after driving truck for many years
