Our office during busy season (Oct thru Dec) we are having soup Mondays. This week I made chicken noodle soup with smoked chicken and handmade egg noodles.
Obviously you don't need to order Chinese takeout.
I do like cashew chicken and fried rice...
I remember that back in Canada I did like chicken fried rice, but I've never seen fried rice here.
A friend of mine who owned a "Chinese takeaway" restaurant told me fried rice was an American invention, pretending to be Chinese !!
I thought so. There are a number of American Chinese food inventions that have never been heard of in China.

And as Gertrude Stein said.......
I took another train ride last weekend. Our local Parks and Rec Dept had a bus trip to Western Maryland Scenic Railroad in Cumberland Maryland. Locomotive 1309 is a compound 2-6-6-2 type. that means it has 2 leading wheels, 6 driving wheels powered by low pressure steam, 6 driving wheels powered by high pressure steam and 2 wheels supporting the firebox. Compound means steam is used twice. 1309 was one of the last steam locomotives built. I enjoyed the trip with several friends.
Great photo. Do you ever get the chance to ride in the engine?
Yes, 2 years ago I got to run this locomotive. They had an engineer for day program. We went up in the mountain where there were no crossings and with regular engineer watching I got to run it up the mountain and back down with 10 empty coal hoppers and caboose several times for 2 hours It was worth the money and if they have it again, I will do it
Fantastic!!! You ran the 'BIG' engine that could.
Here the train is going around one of the many curves
Were you leaning out the side to take that photo?
Yes they had an open window car, My regular seat was in the dining car as our group trip included lunch
Looks like winter - must have been cold with an open window.
It was a nice warm day Leaves are just starting to turn.
It gets cold there in the winter, The town trip goes to is appropriately named Frostburg .
Frostburg. LOL
Just adding a little fuel to this waning flame...

Well, it didn't exactly catch fire. Okay, since it's been pushed off the page (probably my fault) there's no reason to give it oxygen, so I am locking it now because the weekend is almost completely done. Thanks to those who posted anything. See you next weekend.
