What's for dinner?
-
Every now and then I just crave simple pasta and red wine. so far the sauce tastes yummy.
But you need to make sure to get the REAL recipe. There are some bogus ones out there that skimp on the butter and don't include he suggestion of an optional tsp of sugar. This one is real.

A few slices of corned beef and some Triscuits and a fruit cup. Be still, my beating heart.
Jolly, nothing better than a fresh-from-the-garden cuke.

I went out today. I boldly went where nobody (from this property) had gone before. I risked death to get fresh food.
Like BREAD.
I spread mayonnaise on two slices of floppy white characterless BREAD! And slapped on two slices of bologna that tasted of tires (cut to fit, I wasn't raised in a barn). On the BREAD! The BREAD! And chopped fresh iceberg lettuce, bane of vegetables! (Okay, second runner-up bane after kale). I had mustard but was too impatient to slow down for it. I cut the sandwich in half (on the diagonal, of course, thrilled that I hadn't forgotten the essentials). The whole thing drooped in the middle when I picked it up, just like old times!
Ah, God . . . heaven. Heaven, I tell you. I nearly slid to the floor with my back against the kitchen cabinet from sheer cross-eyed bliss.
I hesitate to ask what you had for your dinner, loath as I am to force upon you the awareness that whatever it was, it perforce failed miserably compared to my own.

@Catseye3 Funny and well written.

Tonight's dinner: bullshit!
I do this sort of thing All. The. Time: look in the fridge, find shit to get rid of, make a meal.
Tonight it was pears and chicken breast. So, add in some veggies, thyme, vinaigrette, brown sugar, serve over rice. Perfect bullshit "recipe."

Last night it was chicken schnitzel.
Tried a new recipe for potatoes:
INGREDIENTS
3 pounds large Yukon Gold potatoes
1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons olive oil
Equipment: an adjustable-blade slicerPREPARATION
Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in upper third. Butter a 3-to 4-quart shallow baking dish.
Peel potatoes and thinly slice (about 1/16 inch thick) with slicer. Toss with butter, oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Transfer to dish and cover tightly with foil.
Bake 20 minutes. Remove foil and increase oven temperature to 450°F, then continue to bake until top is browned and crisp, about 25 minutes more.
