What are you having for dinner tonight?

[Stone-Butch]

NY strip and baked potato. Ice tea.

[FireSignFemme]

Leftovers, the kids brought over Asian fusion for lunch and gave them to me- rice, batter fried prawns, some sort of noodle like, type dish with chicken, batter fried mini little something not prawns but seafood something I don't know what, was afraid to ask, different sauces. They brought over other things too but it all looked risky. My grandson liked some sort of sushi though. I'd heard children aren't supposed to eat it until they're at least four years old but they don't listen. They just go ahead and do it anyway. That kid will eat anything, I'm beginning to wonder if he's even got taste buds. Anyhow above and beyond that I didn't recognize anything else that was served. We just had things I already happened to have on hand to drink- diet raspberry Snapple, LaCroix, plain water, milk, coffee. No dessert but I'll probably have some no added sugar canned pears now though as a late night snack.

[FireSignFemme]

Pacific Foods Roasted Pepper and Tomato Soup. It usually sells for $3.68 a carton at our local Walmart but today Grocery Outlet had it for 99 cents each. Bought a case, plus already had some on hand so that and a small side salad are on the menu tonight. Plus some string cheese I opened for lunch but surprise didn't have room for. The less I cut out/down on carbs the more that's happening now, feeling too full to finish.

[Happyfemme]

Chicken cutlets and salad

This sounds so good.

[Stone-Butch]

Baked pork chop and beet salad. Ice tea with lots of lemon.

[Gemme]

I had a little bit of everything: popcorn chicken, fresh fruit (banana, cantaloupe, honey dew melon, seedless red grapes and pineapple), fresh veggies (broccoli, cherry tomatoes, celery and carrots) with a cucumber ranch dressing, fake Frooz balls and apple chips with water to drink.

[Stone-Butch]

Frying up some chicken strips to add to a green salad. Lettuce, tomato, red onion, chick peas, bean sprouts, ranch dressing and shaved three cheese mix. Ice tea.

[Happyfemme]

Charcuterie with cheddar, salami, capicola, and grapes.

A Buddha bowl - Quinoa, cucumber, carrots, red bell pepper, avocado sprinkled with sesame seeds, spinach, roasted potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts, pickled red cabbage and spicy roasted chickpeas.

[Stone-Butch]

I went shopping so I picked up a double cheese/pepperoni panzarotti. Ice tea.

[Gemme]

That's sounds delicious. I did not have that for dinner.

Instead, I had what was going to be my lunch and then I kept eating so it became an early dinner too. I had a Hillshire Small Plates (read: fancy lunchable) that had prosciutto, white cheddar and toasted rounds followed by an apple. That was the lunch part.

The rest of it was technically dinner. I had Cheez It Snap'd Jalapeno Jack chips with Cabot Vermont Seriously Sharp White Cheddar pieces torn off and put on top. Basically, I created another lunchable type snack. Oooh! I should have put some bacon jam on the chip too. That would have been good but I didn't think of it and I don't have any bacon jam right now anyway. I did have another apple, some apple chips and some prunes. Lots of water to drink with all that salt.

[Happyfemme]

Rosemary pork tenderloin, corn, and olives.

[Orema]

Last night was short ribs, turnips, and apples smeared with peanut butter for dessert.

[Happyfemme]

Cheddar burger and vanilla ice cream for dessert.

[Happyfemme]

Pepperoni pizza and chips

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Tonight was cheddar brats and potato salad.

Tomorrow night - I am so Excited! - we're going to a pub that I love and haven't been to since before Covid. Looking forward to some delicious draft beers during the Braves game on the big TV and a huge cheeseburger and some cheddar biscuits, and maybe some nachos too. I am even going to put on makeup and jewelry and a wig (along with some cute capri pants and a t-shirt and Converse low tops).

[Orema]

Tonight will be sautéed chicken breast with herbs, lemon and olive oil, shirataki noodles with Parmesan and cream, and spinach and lettuce salad.

Itty bitty apples for dessert. Or maybe I'll make some low-carb brownies with walnuts. Maybe not.

:bow:

[FireSignFemme]

The only thing I recognize are the green beans, cooked in an unusual way, and they don't smell good at all. The only reason I know the pork is pork is because she told me it's pork. It doesn't smell bad, just weird. I hope this isn't something that's supposed to be Spanish again. Not only was the stuff she made last time not Spanish, she also invented her own low carb version of it just for me. She always writes little notes on tape and sticks them to the baggies and food containers reminding me to freeze or use by such and such date and always thoroughly, thoroughly over cooks all the meat. I like meat to be well done, just not this overdone, kind of well done. Besides people have always eaten under cooked meat. I mean think about it, way, way back if it was bleeding and still making noise that was considered overdone and yet still here we are existing as a species.

[Happyfemme]

Fried mozzarella

[GeorgiaMa'am]

- cheddar puffs with marinara
- burger with cheddar cheese, tomato and onions
- waffle fries with bleu cheese dip
- a local wild berry sour beer

Very cherry chip ice cream.
Chilled prosecco rose.

Followed with early to bed. Whew..that was a 50 hour week!

[Gemme]

:sushi:!!!

I had a mix of a veggie roll, spicy California roll and spicy grilled salmon roll with extra ginger on the side. Sooo good. A ton of water to drink because of the soy sauce and a banana for dessert.

[Happyfemme]

First, I had red pepper chips with fire roasted salsa. Then I had fresh veggies--broccoli, carrots, celery and red peppers--and a cucumber ranch dressing with a couple of pieces of honey roasted chicken breast. Water to drink.

[Happyfemme]

Last night I had carrots and strawberry shortcake.

[Orema]

Ribeye, roasted asparagus, small Caesar salad.

[Stone-Butch]

frying up potato/cheese perogies and sausage, side of salsa. Ice tea.

[Gemme]

Tonight's dinner was stellar! I had a smorgasbord of yumminess. First, I took some whole wheat sesame noodles and topped them with chicken teriyaki pot stickers and Korean BBQ beef tips. Then I added pearl couscous and red grain salad, curry apple orzo salad and salmon orzo salad to the plate. I had small portions of each of those and then I had a banana and some goji berries and dried Turkish apricots for dessert. The apricots feel funny on my tongue because they are dry and almost have a fuzzy surface but they are good without being overly sweet. Water to drink.

[Stone-Butch]

I was out so I picked up KFC and gravy. Ice tea.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Minnesota Tater Tot Hot Dish: I got the recipe from Tik Tok. It is essentially Shepherd's Pie with tater tots on top instead of mashed potatoes. I don't think I'll be making it again, because (1) I bought Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute specifically for this recipe, and there's some flavor in it that I don't care for; and (2) my Shepherd's Pie recipe is better. It was also kind of disappointing in that the tots were mushy, and not crispy. If I ever try a casserole like this again with tots on top, I'll try putting it under the broiler for the last 3-5 minutes to see if I can crisp them up.

[Happyfemme]

Turkey and cranberry sauce.

[Happyfemme]

Chicken and salad with parmesan

[Bèsame*]

Rotisserie chicken
Smokehouse baked beans
Chilled prosecco
Not your average mint chocolate ice cream.

[Stone-Butch]

Not really feeling hungry so made a med. rare beef sandwich and a coffee.

[Reach *BANNED*]

Last night it was tacos - they were good - but I did not have any lettuce or tomato in the house - so they were hard shell, taco meat, Mexican blend shredded cheese, medium salsa, and sour cream.

Tonight might be KFC which I have not had in forever (SB gave Me the idea).. but if I do not want to make the drive for it - then I will likely have a steak on the grill unless we get another downpour.

After I reread this - there seems to be a lot of ifs and maybes - I should have just said - I am unsure of tonight's dinner. (laughing).

[Happyfemme]

Taco salad with chicken

[Gemme]

Maybe cook the tots separately until the very end?

Tonight I had more of my cornucopia of food: noodles, pot stickers, beef tips and some of the pearl couscous and red grain salad with goji berries, Turkish apricots and Brazil nuts as dessert. Water to drink.

[FireSignFemme]

Leftovers of some meatloaf J made. Worst of any I've ever tasted, smelled or seen. Horrible, but I didn't say so. I don't want to do anything that might lead to unhappiness and make a bad situation even worse for me should they ever decide to divorce. If they do I want it to be because of some other mother's contribution not mine.

[Happyfemme]

Salad with parmesan and cucumber.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Nongshim shin black ramen with a few goodies added - green onions, peanut butter, a diced leftover pork chop, pot stickers and a 4-minute egg

[Stone-Butch]

Not that hungry again. Bowl of cream of broccoli/cheese soup.

[Reach *BANNED*]

I made a roast yesterday so I may do something with that. But, I have been craving deviled eggs so I am def going to make them today - so in doing that - I might do some chicken or a steak on the grill given it is beautiful outside.

[nhplowboi]

CIJS.....I am still pretty damn grumpy from yesterday (and yes the Glenwood is going again) but it was heartwarming to see a REAL president speak at Arlington today. I am an independent but have to say this man took on the challenge and is exeeding my expectations.

[Gemme]

I'm having a tuna and salmon summer roll. Never had one of them before and I'm fast learning that I have to eat each piece at once or else the squishy, slick texture squicks me out. Water to drink. Not sure if I'll have dessert since I had a late lunch.

[Happyfemme]

Toasted bread with olive oil and sharp cheese

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Unfortunately, it seems that one of the side effects of chemo is that it affects your taste buds. I have noticed for a few days that nothing seems to taste right and nothing seems salty enough. I had pizza for dinner, and that just confirmed it. How a Little Caesar's pizza could seem bland, I have no idea. Also, last night I noticed that the ramen didn't seem spicy enough, and that is not a complaint I have ever had before. So for the time being, I guess it doesn't matter what I eat. Maybe I should take this as an opportunity to only eat healthy foods, since I won't enjoy anything I eat anyway.

[Orema]

Broke out the charcoal grill for the first time this summer. Had pork rib tips (baked in the oven then put on the grill) and roasted Brussels sprouts. Nutty peanut butter out the jar for dessert. Mango hard seltzer water on the side.

[Stone-Butch]

Poached salmon and steamed sweetlet peas. Ice tea.

[Gemme]

I had a breaded chicken breast, the last of the curry apple orzo salad and the last of the pearl couscous & red grain salad and a poor woman's version of a Caprese salad. Water to drink.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

- egg salad sandwich
- a few olives

[GeorgiaMa'am]

- an assortment of olives
- baby gherkins
- gouda cheese
- parmesan pita crackers

[Happyfemme]

Cheeseburger and french fries.

[Gemme]

I had an American Flatbread Vegan Harvest pizza. I wasn't sure if I'd like it but it wasn't too bad except there were pockets of salt in it, like it didn't get mixed in well enough. Those spots were less than great but the rest was decent. My first vegan pizza. It could have been a lot worse, I think. I liked that it was only 5% of my saturated fat for the day. The other pizzas, even the cauliflower crust ones were 42-60% saturated fat and that was just for one serving. I had a honey crisp apple for dessert and water to drink.

[Stone-Butch]

Baked chicken wings and tater tots. Ice tea.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I signed up for Freshly, a meal delivery service. I will probably keep it at least until after the chemo effects are over, hopefully just another month or two. This will hopefully provide me with some healthier options, especially in the middle of the day when no one in the house is cooking. Tonight's selection is "Thai-ish Lemongrass Bowl - a citrusy, Thai-inspired lemongrass sauce with coconut milk, ginger and garlic. Colorlful medley of broccoli and red bell pepper. A base of filling and fragrant basmati rice." I'll see if it's as good as it sounds.

[Gemme]

I had fire roasted salsa and blue corn chips, popcorn chicken and a banana. Water to drink. I'm trying to decide if I want anything else.

[Happyfemme]

Barbecue chicken with cheddar and bacon.

[Stone-Butch]

Cod filets, scalloped taters and sweetlet peas. Ice tea.

Tonight will be the leftover pizza we lugged home from Cloverleaf in Tacoma! Now that it's warmer we NEVER go anywhere without our weather insulted bag/bags...

[PlatinumPearl]

Vegetable soup with gluten free bread and a romaine lettuce salad.

[Happyfemme]

Cheeseburger and salad

[Gemme]

I had a simple version of Caprese salad and dark chocolate covered coconut chips. Both were delicious! Water to drink.

[Stone-Butch]

Homeburger with anything you can think of on it. Ice tea.

[Orema]

Ribeye, roasted asparagus, small Caesar salad.

This didn't go so well when I ordered it from DoorDash. After ordering, I received an email saying the food had been delivered. Went to the front door but didn't see anything. I called to say it never arrived. They apologized and asked me if I wanted them to redeliver. I say no. By this time I was starving, irritated, and didn't want to wait.

An hour or so later I'm sitting down eating an over baked puny pork chop and half of a dry-ass caulifower-crust pizza with freezer burn when the doorbell rings. It's my elderly neighbor (about 20 years older than I am) from next door to thank me for the lovely dinner I sent her way (I still roll my eyes when I think of this). I explain to her what happened and request that she calls me the next time anything arrives on her door with my name on it. She said she would oblige. We'll see.

So, I have a credit from door dash and am ordering again tonight.

Am hoping to have Ribeye, roasted asparagus, and small Caesar salad. I hope it arrives because my kitchen is dusty from cutting and adding the backsplash and the last thing I want to do is clean that dust so I can make something simple.

Things could be worse.

[firegal]

Going to Birthday celebration BBQ. So some ribs for sure and alot of great potluck favorites!

[FireSignFemme]

Nothing fancy, a few prawns I've set to thaw, over some left over Jasmine rice, doused with Carvelle sweet chili sauce to kind of help perk things up. It's not quite dinnertime but I haven't eaten all day and I'm really hungry so having some frozen asparagus that's been nuked in the microwave along with some garlic butter sauce as an appetizer. It's 4:30PM and here I am still drinking coffee so bottled water now and again latter with dinner that's for sure. For dessert Winky sugar free orange flavored gelatin parfait, 2 cups. Also a can of Sunkist diet orange soda.

[Bèsame*]

Ooo. I got lucky!!

Carnitas wet burrito. Smothered in green salsa verde and creamy white queso.

Best Mexican I've found here yet!

Sparkling pink grapefruit water.

Chocolate cookie that has Marshmallow in it.

[Happyfemme]

Roast beef and salad

[Gemme]

I had a :sushi: platter, basically. My friend and I hit up the new Market Basket and both wound up with sushi. We even shared some things. I had spicy grilled salmon and spicy tempura shrimp and salmon and tuna summer roll and a shrimp dumpling. Soooo good! Now I'm having this (https://paradisegreenfood.com/products/dark-chocolate-covered-coconut-chips). Water to drink.

[Stone-Butch]

Rainbow trout and sweet peas. Ice tea.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

The Freshley "Thai-ish Lemongrass Bowl" was a solid B. It was fine.

Tonight's selection was a flat iron steak with peppercorn gravy and mashed potatoes, with French green beans and julienned carrots on the side. I'll give it an A-. I also had a cube of Pepperidge Farm Coconut Cake, a blast from the past, and iced tea with lemon.

[Reach *BANNED*]

I made homemade gravy with italian sausage and I am going to have rigatoni as the pasta - but I am going to wait until it cools down before I go about heating up the water and all of that. I have not put in my a/c units yet - that will be a must do this week.

To drink will likely be a soda.

[Kätzchen]

Grilled Portobello & Red Bell Pepper kabobs, basted in sesame-ginger teriyaki sauce; served with creamy 'gouda cheese' spread and seeded crackers and small dishes of Romaine salad with a light vinaigrette.

English cucumber, Honeydew melon infused spring water, to drink.

Flax-meal Coconut 'macaroon' cookies, for dessert.

[Happyfemme]

Chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks.

[Bèsame*]

Fish tacos
Chilled Gewürztraminer wine, my fav

Possible orange scone later. It was my birthday treat from Panera. Thinking it would be better in the morning with coffe??

[GeorgiaMa'am]

- meatloaf sandwich
- strawberry yogurt

[Stone-Butch]

Poached salmon and steamed broccoli. Ice tea.

[Orema]

Last night was pork chop and keto creamed spinach.

The keto recipe I followed called for 8oz of creamed cheese. I only added 4oz and am glad I did. I may even use less the next time I make it.

[Gemme]

Last night was popcorn chicken, chips and salsa and the last of my tuna and salmon summer roll. Not at the same time because the flavor profiles of salsa and sushi together would not have worked for me. The chips and salsa was more of a snack after dinner. Water to drink.

[Stone-Butch]

Just got home in this damned heat but will go from 73 @ 9a.m. to 92 this afternoon. Got some nice shrimp, crab claws and a lobster tail to make a seafood salad with onion, celery, salt and pepper and a shot of mayo. Will cool it in the frig till dinner time.

[Reach *BANNED*]

I never cooked the rigatoni last night. I ended up having some of the gravy on a mini sub roll (the bread itself was italian) .. and it was so good. I also realized this - I have had that package of sub rolls in the cupboard for about 3 weeks or maybe a little longer (do not judge Me).. and they were still as fresh and soft as the day I bought them - kind of weird really.

This morning I am going to cook the rigatoni before it gets super hot - and then just heat a bowl of it up with the gravy tonight for dinner.

I will likely have ice water to drink. If I remember while I am doing errands - I will grab some ice cream to have for dessert.

[Happyfemme]

Corn flake chicken it was so good and easy. I took chicken breast tenders and dredged them in melted butter then corn flakes. Then baked on 400 for 25 minutes.

[Gemme]

I had zucchini and summer squash noodles with mushrooms and Puttanesca sauce and Parmesan-Romano blend fresh cheese on top. Water to drink and chocolate covered coconut chips and Halos for dessert.

[Happyfemme]

Chicken and salad with cheddar

[Gemme]

I had a small Caprese salad, an oven baked breaded chicken breast, some chips and 3 Halos. Man, I love those things. Water to drink.

[Reach *BANNED*]

Well it was going to be just ice cream, which I just had a small dish of a little bit ago. However, I started to feel really guilty that I did not eat a proper (whatever that is) dinner - and had talked Myself into (and it did not take much) having that ice cream.

So, I decided to make some scrambled eggs and an english muffin.

Suffice to say all of the above took place after 9:30pm.

That guilty feeling is always lurking just a few steps towards the stove or the fridge.

However, My stomach is no longer growling. (grins).

[FireSignFemme]

Almost no carb french toast again. Handful of blueberries with a splash of half and half. That's it, same as before but probably just more of it.

[Stone-Butch]

I made one huge burger patty to put on the oversized kaiser I bought. I will slice up one tomato and a couple of icicle pickles a couple slices of cheese, some bacon and some mayo. I will wash that down with ice tea when the time comes. I hope I get hungry.

[Reach *BANNED*]

I just had homemade nachos for lunch and it is 2pm - sooooooo... that has left Me pretty full. I did take a chicken breast out of the freezer just in case I get hungry later on. So, we shall see.

[Gemme]

I had the last of the noodle spaghetti, which was really just a smattering. Then an oven baked breaded chicken breast and red pepper chips and fire roasted salsa. Water to drink. No dessert; I'm about to pop!

[Orema]

Last night was grilled rib tips and roasted green beans.

[FireSignFemme]

Pizza, while I still can. It's a splurge but with all the dental work ahead figure I'd better get while the getting is good.

[Stone-Butch]

Cod filets with boiled potato and steamed peas. Ice tea.

[Happyfemme]

Pepperoni and cheese off the top of a pizza and wings.

[Reach *BANNED*]

I ended up having a bowl of Cap'n Crunch. I really was not in the mood to make anything.

[Gemme]

Y'all.

Y'all just don't know.

It started out simple enough. Get out of work. Go to the store. Go home and have dinner. Easy peasy, right?

NOOOOOOOOOOO.

First, I was in the parking lot at Wally World talking to a friend before I went in (and my cell service disappeared as it does in Wally World) and my tummy rumbled. I had a Lunchables with a Halo for lunch and it was NOT enough to keep me satisfied apparently.

So, I went into the store and proceeded to go through my list and then, as I tend to do when distracted by something like, ohhhh...hunger, I started to find my cart full of things I did not see on my list. Now, I didn't want to be impolite as they obviously wanted to come home with me (And who wouldn't? I'm a nice person!) so I let them remain, made my rounds and checked myself out.

At the car, I started to feel a wee bit nauseous, which means I need food PRONTO so I may have had just the tiniest bit of a lead foot getting home but luckily, I live where speed limit signs are merely a suggestion for the masses. Until I got stuck, briefly thank goodness, behind a bus.

At home, the cold stuff got stuck in the fridge and the kitties got their kibble and the rest is still on the floor. For dinner, I decided I wanted to have some broccoli so I nuked a bag to cool so it could go into my salad. I picked up a Caesar salad kit and also some shredded lettuce for filler because those kits never give you enough green stuff.

I don't know about you but when I get really, really, reeeeeally hungry, my hands shake and I get a bit light-headed so that was happening as I was attempting to open the darn packaging of the salad and dammit, it popped open and the top tray with all the things that have flavor went up in the air.

Luckily, I moved quick enough to get the dressing and chicken (all but a couple of pieces, anyway) back in the container before they fell but 90% of the finely shredded Parmesan went onto the rug in front of the stove.

*facepalm*

This, of course, cued my four-legged Hoover who I had to push off. Dude is on a diet and can't even eat regular cat food much less human dairy and he was being persistent as only a 20 lb cat in search of food can be, so I had to do what I had to do.

Out came the vacuum. Instant personal space. Ahhhh.

So, the cheese and tiny bits of chicken and lettuce that slipped through my hands got sucked up and the vacuum is still plugged in and sitting in the middle of my kitchen right now because my stomach was sending up smoke signals, thinking that my throat had been cut. It was a'rumblin' but no food was comin'. Rude!

So, I get all the stuff dumped into a bowl and mixed up with the shredded lettuce and broccoli and as I'm about to take the first bite, I heard 'meow'. Loki has determined the vacuum is not dangerous at this point and is demanding attention and whatever it is that I am stuffing into my face. Life is full of disappointments, Loki, and this is one of them for you, baby boy. Mama's about hurt somebody if she doesn't get her dinner.

So, nearly two hours after the first tummy rumble, I got that bite.

Also, I know I put a lot of salad in this bowl, but I think someone took it because it's nearly gone.

:blink:

Well, I am sitting here still trying to decide. I did thaw a chicken breast and I could just put that on the grill - and have it with some greens or something. Actually that sounds pretty good. I am going to go fire up the grill right now.

I shall report back later as to how it came out.

[Gemme]

I'm having DiGiorno's Primo Pepperoni Thin Hand-Tossed Pizzeria! pizza and it is perfect. I mean, PERFECT. You know that moment when the crust is exactly as brown as you like and the toppings are just oooey gooey enough and the world is at peace? Yeah, it's like that. I pulled that sucker just at the right moment and now, vindication for last night's dinner. Water to drink. I might have some fresh fruit or another piece of pizza. Not sure but it'll be good, no matter what, and that's what counts the most.

I ended up doing a marinade to the chicken and put it on the grill - it came out so good...moist and the marinade was quite good.

French cut green beans w/ butter and vinegar

Ice water to drink.

No dessert. I have to get serious about the amount of sugar I am taking in.. and it is starting today.

[Bèsame*]

Fish tacos..made from frozen fish, put into air fryer. Well, not the best. But strawberry margarita trumps tacos@

Possible watermelon or cherry turnover later.

Will someone do an ice cream run for me?????🍦🍦🍦

I'm having the rest of the pizza and will likely dip into the fresh fruit before it's all said and done too.

I made tuna pasta salad, with a honey balsamic dressing. Oh my, fresh chopped, minced veggies, delicious on a warm almost summer night.

I'll cut into that sugar baby watermelon later😊

Well, it appears it will be not what I had planned. I normally order My groceries to be delivered - mostly for the convenience because I nine times out of ten shop on the weekend - which can be crazy around here. The dilemma is - depending on what My grocery list looks like - I make a choice between which store I want to use - more often than not - it ends up being Walmart. Enter the issue - they use an outside service (Doordash I believe) to do their deliveries and it has become a problem recently that on the weekends there are not enough drivers). I made My order to be delivered between 11am-12pm. It is now 6:38pm and still no delivery. I have called a couple of times - and it is not looking very positive for a delivery today. They have until 8pm (Walmart's shutoff point) to make the delivery happen - but they can only work with what they have. I even offered the manager to tell the driver I will throw in a bigger tip.

All of that saga being told - I will probably end up going to the corner store and getting something to microwave. I might make it especially greasy and unhealthy and just call it good.

[Bèsame*]

Chicken alfredo with the freshest broccoli I have seen in the stores for awhile. This was My first time making it from scratch without My Mom's help - and it did not come out too bad. I mean the Food Network is not going to be banging down My door to do a show for them or anything like that - but it was edible.

[Reach *BANNED*]

Well, given the online grocery order was never delivered (a whole story unto itself) - I will likely make some potato pierogis and call it good - though I am really craving some red meat.

[Gemme]

Last night, I had a dill pickle salad and some Banana Bites (https://www.nosh.com/brands/branchout/banana-bites) in Strawberry. They were delicious!

Water to drink and I also had a handful of Cherries, Berries and Nuts mix.

[Stone-Butch]

I am currently devouring a quick and dirty Caprese salad, a Healthy Choice Simply Steamers Unwrapped Burrito Bowl with a Spicy Tomatillo Sauce, some red apple chips for dessert and water to drink.

I didn't taste the heat in the sauce right away, but it sits nicely at the back of the throat after a minute or two. I haven't had this before but wouldn't mind it again.

[Happyfemme]

Meatballs with sauce and parmesan

[Orema]

Last night was curried wings and the last of the spinach.

[Reach *BANNED*]

Well, I do not feel very hungry. I had an Auntie Anne's jalapeno pretzel when I went to the mall today. Then about an hour ago I had a bowl of Frosted Flakes - so I think I will call that good for today.

My plan for tomorrow is to have a steak and baked potato - hopefully the weather cooperates and I can do the steak on the grill. I do not mind grilling in the snow - but a downpour is another story. Although now that I think about it - if someone that I loved asked Me for a steak - I would stand out in a downpour to make that happen.

[Happyfemme]

Ribeye with salad and cheddar.

[Kätzchen]

It's too hot to cook, so I'm making a simple garden salad for our supper tonight, with a dish of melon balls (cantaloupe, watermelon and honey-dew), and for some type of protein, lol, we will probably have a dessert I like to make which is mostly vanilla dairy-free ice cream with peanut butter and coconut and a drizzle or two of strawberry marmalade.

Burger dips, poor man's version of French dips, with Velveeta cheese and tomato slices. Dessert, well J is calling them brownies but she made them in a bread/loaf pan using zucchinis and they slice up like pound cake, have that same sort of texture. They do taste like brownies though, double chocolaty good ones because she added chocolate chips. Milk to drink. I'm still trying to decide it I want fries or tater tots to go with or if the dips and dessert will be enough.

I was perfectly happy to make burger dips again for the third time this month until I read this. Now the thought of going in the kitchen to make it has me feeling as if I've been sentenced to the gallows and am on my way there. That's okay I'll just have more of what I had for lunch for dessert, lemon meringue pie, that ought to cheer me up.

I don't know but it's got to be something with hamburger in it because I already had one pack defrosting, forgot about it and then pulled another out to thaw. Maybe spaghetti because I bought a huge thing of mushrooms forgetting I already had a small pack needing to be used right away. Too bad I didn't forget I'd already bought Tate's Coconut Crisp Cookies and doubled up on that.
