Bookkeeper Eats Free!

November 4th, 2009 at 03:49 pm

Took another load of wood to my Dad today. Afterwards we were talking about getting something to eat before we headed out of town towards home. FrugalSon said, "Today bookkeepers eat free." That meant me, since I keep his financial records. I took him up on his offer. We had a very nice meal at a nice Mexican place - not here:

He did have tamales & an empanada and I had steak fajita nachos. Yums! We're calling it my birthday lunch. My birthday is later on in the month, but hey, it works for me!

Thanks FrugalSon! What a generous soul.

I love mexican. I would actually like to try to make tamales. Good suggestion, thank you. I am always looking for something new to create.

Nice... and I am sure you deserved it. We love Mexican food, as well, but we are living in SE Europe, which doesn't exactly lead to a taco joint on every corner! However, we just learned about a new Tex-Mex place downtown, and had some excellent food the other night. It is owned by an American guy, and the food was really quite good, considering where we are in the world. I heard that he has the added insurance of a local Mexican-American ex-pat who comes in to train his chefs, and they do it up right! Yum.

I always love the chicken fajitas!

By the way I took your advice and finally came back here!

Its a secret trait of the frugal - we are the most generous. Heck, right now we are the only people who can afford to be generous.
