Yippee Skippee

Today was a good day to stay inside - windy and cloudy. Just listening to the wind always makes me so glad to be inside. It was a usual Sunday - reading a week's worth of papers, doing laundry, listing ebay...

I did get out for dinner. Went to AJ's which is a fairly new restaurant at 231 and State. They serve authentic Chicago style hot dogs, Italian Beef, burgers and brats. And a few more items including very yummy fries. I grew up outside of Chicago and one thing I have missed since I moved here many years ago is good TRUE Italian beef. AJ's has it! I was SOOOOO excited the first time I tried one! They are yummy!

After that we walked over to Silver Dipper. They have all kinds of ice cream items but I was very pleased to see they have mini-scoops. They are only 75 cents! Perfect for seniors or anyone on a budget or trying to eat smaller portions. I started looking but stopped when I saw this one - YIPPEE SKIPPEE. I tend to be one who says that on a regular basis so this was a must have. The ice cream had swirls of peanut butter, caramel and brownie bits. Very yummy! I didn't count how many flavors but there seemed to be a good choice. Stop in when you want that little bit of ice cream.

Sunday is ending - where DO these weekends go? Have a good week!
