1. You're an overachiever!
I think for me it will be a basket of fries at the tavern. Trivia night, followed by coming home to the debate recap.

Still -- they're good fries!

2. Crab cakes.
They'll be served on a bed of greens and topped with a roasted red pepper sauce. Sliced garden tomatoes on the side -- I picked about 20 lbs of tomatoes today, and that was only 12 tomatoes. My neighbors like me today.

26. precious like the "thinly sliced chicken breast cutlets" so i have to buy chicken breasts
and then slice them which is a total pain in the ass but the packaged thinly sliced ones are about $2.00 more a package.

So it's 350f for 20 minutes for boneless chicken, i think for bone in it's 50 minutes.

34. Taco Tuesday, of course
Morningstar Farm crumbles for the "meat". The kids love to build their own with cheese, sour cream, taco sauce, etc. Unfortunately no guacamole. Mommy forgot to buy avocados.

39. I had...
a dinner plate at work consisting of BBQ chicken chunks, mashed potatoes and gravy, and loaded baked potato salad with a dinner roll. :9

I don't usually eat meat, but tonight I was really craving it and I fell off the wagon. :(
