What's for dinner?

[Klaus]

Made Spaghetti Carbonara, with strawberries for desert.

[Jolly]

Lima beans with just enough ham to season, over rice. Have some fresh green beans to go with them, along with a fresh cucumber from the garden.

[Mik]

The sauce was excellent. Had a very nice And cheap Nebbiolo with it

[Catseye3]

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.

Hmmm... fresh-from-the-garden tomatoes?

[Mik]

Both.

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.

I’ll tell you what’s never again for dinner. Racism.

Cats, you are mad good at being a heathen.

Aw, Friday, that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me.

Joy is where you find it. In Hawaii they love Spam.

Have a 13 lb brisket on the smoker for dinner.

@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."

Grilled strip steaks with mushroom demiglace. A wonderful Janesse Cotes Du Rhone I bought a few years ago the has developed into an incredible wine.

Last night it was chicken schnitzel.

Tried a new recipe for potatoes:

Beef stew, corn bread, local corn. All at my godmother's house.

Totally bragging.
