I know that you can...I was just wondering why you did. I have just not ever heard of anyone's nightly dinners within one family all being different--like running a restaurant. Obviously not now but if you go to someone's house for dinner do you all eat the same thing? Or what about when you have company (pre covid) for dinner or lunch...do you fix everyone something different? This is fascinating.
What about on Thanksgiving...does one of you have turkey and someone else has a cheeseburger and someone else have lasagna?
poker plaques are like poker chips - they’re units of value in a casino. When casinos change their designs, their “old” inventory gets destroyed or sold to wholesalers and then people like me eventually buy them online. Most USA gamblers use casino chips but high stakes baccarat will still have $100,000 plaques and then some non-USA casinos use plaques for as low as 5,000 currency units. So if I can pay $35 for a single worthless poker (casino) plaque, then yes I can cook 3 kinds of pasta and 2 kinds of pizza for supper.
for thanksgiving, since we KNOW that travel and a group meal will be ridiculous and unsafe, I will cook thanksgiving and our child will have pasta or a cheeseburger. I’ll probably have both rice and mashed potatoes, a few vegetables, and one or two kinds of cranberry relish. It’ll be yummy. If kipper and her then-husband can cook a turkey dinner, then it’ll be fine for me to make a
thanksgiving turkey supper.
