McDonald's

When the kids were little, we hung out at McDonald's a lot. The boys attended a private school across town from our home, so if there was any kind of school activity or someplace we needed to be after school, we headed to McDonald's for Happy Meals and Playland. Our toyboxes were a testament to the kids' fondness for Happy Meals - little tiny toys everywhere. And if you ask the kids about Mom's Teenie Beanie madness (my recipe for French Fry Frittata will [thankfully] go with me to my grave), they will recall many, many trips through the drive through for Happy Meals - where I took the toys and added them to my collection and they ate the meals. LOTS of them.

The boys will now have nothing to do with eating there. They think the burgers are gross ('too greasy') and no longer care about the toys inside the Happy Meals nor the Playland. So we never go there anymore.

I love Quarter Pounders with cheese. Love them. And I still think McD's fries are the best around. So today, while I take a comp day and run errands, etc. in preparation for H's big day tomorrow, I treated myself to a QP and fries. YUMMY.
