What's for dinner?
-
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. -
Beef stew, corn bread, local corn. All at my godmother's house.
Totally bragging.

Costco Lemon Butter Salmon (love the stuff with a little Nando’s Peri sauce…), rice, peas.

I had the jumbo lump crab cakes from Whole Foods and grilled some zucchini with garlic, lemon zest, and a splash of balsamic.

Good idea! We have been grilling zucchini lately and should give that a try.
@89th here’s my recipe. I don’t bother with the salt or pepper (it has red pepper flakes already and who needs more salt?) and I use just a splash of balsamic, added on the serving dish not the grill.
