I know, you love reading about what eat and how my silly surveys and clicky games earn me the gift cards to pay for the meals.
We are gearing up for a pretty busy week, doctors appointments, some blood draws and maybe just maybe some news from insurance or a surgeon that might have something to help us with.
Anyhoosit.
I actually got paid for a freelance article earlier today and since we have to be out of town for a doctors appointment, we used said payment to book a cheap hotel room near the medical plaza and then I used a gift card I earned by doing about three hours worth of surveys to order dinner. It should be here in about thirty minutes.
It has been a million years since we have had Denny's thats the gift card I cashed out for. Chris ordered a grand slam with pancakes, eggs with cheese, sausage and bacon.
I ordered a strawberries and cream crepe and a biscuit and gravy. I ordered raspberry tea, and Chris ordered Dr Pepper.
So there's what we got for dinner. It cost me $2.99 to rush the delivery and $5.00 to tip the driver.
So dinner was a whopping $7.99 out of pocket.
Not too shabby if I do say so myself.
Now we have to wait for it, and watch the new episode of Bob's Burgers.
What did everyone else have for dinner tonight?

I stole a brownie off my husband's hospital tray.

I do most of my surveys via my iPhone or my Tablet, they are app based. And one of the apps has around 30-40 surveys a day. They vary from just a few cents to a few dollars each. Soemtiems they are download apps and then I get paid for them. It's my favorite app to use.

@thislittlepennyearns Wow, That’s a lot of surveys. I suppose they don’t like my doing surveys is because I don’t do a lot of shopping.

I just wrote about what I made for dinner as I loved how it turned out. And I loved all of what you bought. When my husband was alive and we went to the US once in a while, we never returned without going to eat at least once what you ordered. I specially loved the high mounds of pancakes with all sorts of syrups and plenty of butter. I did skip the coffee though. I have never had a worst coffee than in those places where they made such good pancakes.

Did you ever go to a Waffle House while you were here?
I will have to go catch up with your posts, as soon as I get done with answering my responses. I have missed our conversations.

I'd say for a dinner out that's awesome. Plus, to be able to use money you earned online is even better. We go to a Denny's probably 3 or 4 times a year.
For dinner we just had leftovers. I had some kielbasa bean soup left and we had that with a salad and it filled the bill nicely plus used up some food. So that was good. Normally we wouldn't have a salad with soup, but we needed to use up a half a head of lettuce.

Today my gallbladder has not liked me very much, we had mexican food earlier and I overdid it, and then had chicken and dumplings which I thought was a safe bed for me for dinner, and NOPE.

@thislittlepennyearns I don't know much about gallbladder, but it would seem to me that both choices are rather heavy and rich. Love me some Mexican food though.

@thislittlepennyearns It is just like rice dressing only you add in chopped up eggplant to it after you cook your meat. It's really good and most don't notice anything "extra" in there. Season to your taste.

@kareng But rice dressing isn't really a thing. Rice casserole is.

@porwest The hell. And you call yourself American? Won't eat a hushpuppy? You may be thrown out of Florida next time you visit.
I will confer with the rest of the Florida council and let you know.
@moffittjc Can you believe this? LOL
