What did you have for dinner? -Part dois

vegetarian ham and cheese sandwich
baked potato w/ margarine.
 
Large steaks last night (ie, 2.54lbs between them, and mine was noticeably larger).

Going to be a sirloin tip roast tonight. Usually prefer rump roasts, but this was at the butcher's so...."I'll take that" <points>
 
Eggplant Parmesan and French bread with Smart Balance original.
 
vegetarian chicken patty sandwich
mashed potatoes.
 
Roast beef with Provolone cheese, onion, mayo on French bread. Dill spears on the side.

That reminds me of Popeyes spicey chicken, dirty rice & beans with chicken livers and buttermilk biscuit. Oh crap, now I've got to get some for dinner.
 
Food.

Of course food is my favorite dinner; with a close second being "food that I didn't have to prepare for myself".

Some onion soup for the vitamin C and sinus clearance won't hurt.
 
Fresh sage Brown Butter sauce gnocchi with a chicken and mushroom topping. Gnocchi is one of the few things that I have never made..... I never had it for a long time then for a long time I did not like it. This was Kroger. From Italy they say.
 
We make a lot of things in the slow cooker (crock pot) like spaghetti sauce and Chili. It's great!!!

The important thing to remember is to rice your potatoes while still hot, spread the riced potatoes on a cookie sheet to let as much steam as possible escape. That way you need less flour, thus a lighter, more fluffy gnocchi.

Seems like more work than it is worth.

Then again I said the same thing about pasta for 30 years, and now my newish Marcato Atlas Pasta Machine gets steady use.
 
Homemade hamburgers with natural 92% lean ground beef, mayo, onions and tomato on Orowheat whole wheat buns. Organic blueberries for dessert.
 
So we went to BK again yesterday. House hunting leaves little time for cooking. Laziness is also a contributing factor. To solve the carb issue, and since BK offers 2 for $6 at the moment, we both had 2 impossibles, extra onions, and skipped the buns.
 
Homemade nachos with homemade guacamole, organic refried beans and shredded mild cheddar cheese on organic tortilla chips.

I've yet to try the impossible burger, but intend to some day. I did buy some frozen Beyond Meat burgers at Sprouts Natural Market, but wasn't impressed with them. They did have more a a meat-like texture, but no better than the Morningstar Farms Prime Grillers veggie burgers I've been buying for years. I'd like to get something good to make at home, don't eat out much at fast food places.

Best of luck in your house hunting Lovebug, sounds like fun! We've owned the home we have now for over forty years, perfect for us and we plan to stay here.

It's always better when someone else makes it for you when you're feeling ****ty. No matter, chicken soup actually works.

Be well and binge good movies on Netflix. I'd recommend good movies and books but we probably don't share the same tastes.
 
Butter Chicken and Calrose rice cooked in an Instapot. I like Indian food and I'm addicted to Calrose rice.
