1. We are having lentil soup, rolls and raw veggies

I will be having a bake-til-you-drop week next week, so I am just taking it easy this weekend.

2. what should I do with Carne Asada?

besides tacos, something suitable for Gram... I THOUGHT I got a roast out of the freezer last night

3. What's wrong with tacos?

You could put out things she would like with the meat and tortillas and let her build her own.

5. we just had tacos a few days ago

and it's getting to be where that's to crunchy/chewy for her.

just found out there's extras for dinner, so... spaghetti! (not with the beef, obviously)

4. Right now, I am trying to get DH to go get me a gyro sandwich.

But he's not moving and the place closes shortly.

Nursing a hangover and just not sure what I want to eat.


maybe just get him to go get me a cheeseburger.

9. I got my gyro and I think I am set.

He will just have to fend for himself.

6. Chicken Pot Pie

with puff pastry topping. I blew it. I should have baked them separately. Crispy, pretty shiny tops and gooey, drippy dough below. Oh well, live and learn!

7. Bul Go Gee.

It's marinated strips of rib eye. I served it with jasmine rice and seaweed salad.

8. Had boiled "al dente" potato, broccoli and Brussels sprouts with butter and black pepper.

Some basil, marjoram, thyme and a bit of dill in the boil.



Simple, filling dish I always like. Might take a walk downtown though for something more.

10. Al dente potatoes?

Sorry. I can see the broccoli and brussel sprouts, but I gotta have my potatoes fully cooked.

[pinto]

11. LOL. I pulled that out of thin air. I like them just done, unless it's going to be mashed potatoes.

So all three had the same kind of bite. Yeah, you got to slice the potatoes up some.

12. Funny story.

When we first started dating, DH made me dinner one night.

His go to menu, and one of his favorite meals, is lamb chops, baked potatoes and carrots/peas. When he served it, he smilingly said, "I hope you like your potatoes al dente!".

They were crunchy.

And that is the day I took over the kitchen, lol.

[pinto]

14. LOL. Neat story. Big dating mistake, but obviously it all worked out.

Say hey to your DH.

13. we went out

got sushi and katsu, washed it down with a lot of green tea. it was a tasty dinner.
