Tacos.
We even have cilantro and pico de gallo, two different hot taco sauces, and lime.
Dinner will be late.
Dh is sleeping while sitting at the table.
Surprising that he has low back pain after I asked him to slow down exercising until the pain is better, but I am mean; after he went twice to the chiropractor, I drove him, but I am mean; he was asked to return again due to stiffness in low back, but I am a meany! With OCD he can't stop himself, but I am mean.

And hungry too!

I still remember Jude/Phoenix calling me a harridan. 🤣🤣🤪

Bundleofjoy, I had an Aero bar for breakfast. I’m out of Twix. Husband is in the USA. I hope he brings home Hershey bars, Mounds and $100,000 Bars. (Canadian Hershey Creamy is gross) I really need to revisit Belgium. 🍫🐷

The plan is to turn my broth into a chicken coconut curry soup. That's been the plan for a couple of days now but today I think I'll actually get it done.

Golden,

I feel the same. I like having a few dishes in the freezer for when I don’t feel like cooking or don’t have the time to cook.

Plus, I hate wasting food. I try to budget carefully. We spend too much money at the grocery store these days.

Thx Need. I find cooking relaxing too, as long as I have the energy. When I have had a flare up I know I am getting better when I want to cook! Making and eating soup IS therapeutic! I like to cook lots (still in the 6 person household mode) and freeze the extra. Makes life easier when I have less energy.

Golden,

All of those dishes sound delicious! I love to make soup. For some reason I always find it to be relaxing. It’s kind of therapeutic to make a pot of soup!

My mom, her sister and my grandma were excellent cooks and their passion for cooking rubbed off on me. It’s a creative outlet.

The only thing that I find challenging is sometimes it is too much food. We either have to share or freeze it.

Need - that chicken sounds amazing!

I cooked some Hot Italian sausages in the oven the other day when the temperatures were down, and started on turkey soup. Got the meat off and am now simmering the bones for bone broth. It's all too much for my electric pressure cooker so I am using my biggest soup pot. With such big bones it will take a while. Yesterday I did oven roasted salt and pepper ribs and today is cool too so I will roast some eggplants. I love them roasted with garlic and lemon and eat them hot or cold as I do with the ribs too. Not a picky eater at all except I have to avoid the things I am allergic to.

Send.

Yep! I can’t eat a whole chicken stuffed breast so I cut them in half and eat the rest the next day.

NHWM,
Leftovers at your house sound like a gourmet meal.

These leftovers?
"Chicken breast stuffed with a mixture of spinach, artichoke, provolone, Parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese, diced onions, garlic and seasonings. Cucumber and tomato salad."

Pls. send some through the cloud.

Remember the commercial song: "Don't cook tonight, call Chicken Delight?
Are they still in business?

We add fettucini or large elbow mac to our chicken and broth, always.

I picked through a pot of chicken bones I'd cooked for broth but that can't really be considered dinner, I should find something to balance things out but I'm still not feeling 100% from whatever virus the kids gave me and haven't got much of an appetite and even less desire to cook. (I tested again for covid because I have almost every symptom currently listed but it's still negative🤷🏻‍♀️)

Eggplant casserole
(1)
Report

Made 4 pans of breakfast casserole for the high school graduates and football team members that stayed overnight in tents at the lake. Grand-nephew says there isn't a crumb left and he doesn't expect any leftovers from the chicken and dressing casseroles I left for dinner either. They still have about half the hamburgers and hot dogs (and associated goodies) left (from after last night's graduation) so he thinks they're okay on eats.

I'm available if needed in my semi-attached one room cottage behind the lake "house" common rooom (open kitchen and large table with TVs and game system, two baths on one end and a laundry/storage room) but the graduate is hosting. It's perfect for a party and a big reason I invested in this place. The fun and memories are worth the effort. First Sunday in July is a family reunion- the first since my parents stopped hosting one about 20 years ago. I don't have my parent's home with its big shade trees but I will have shade from a few tents and pavilions. By the time the pecan trees are big enough to shade everything well I will probably be too old to host but maybe someone will keep it going.

BTW; it was fun watching the foster son and two older grand-nephews making hamburger patties out of 30 lbs of fresh ground sirloin Friday night! They made 122 patties. I figure what isn't eaten at the party can be put in the freezer and enjoyed later this summer.

TNT, that cauliflower sounds delicious. We enjoy it baked and tossed in Buffalo hot sauce as an appetizer, it is so yummy you can make a meal of it.

Baked Cauliflower: a head of cauliflower cut into bit sized pieces then covered with a yogurt, parmesan and cheddar cheese, minced garlic and onions sauce and baked in the oven for about 30 minutes. A little pepper added on top while it cools a bit. Then I pig out - eating about half while the boys are enjoying burgers (from the grill along with some corn cobs) and golden fries (deep fryer). We will all enjoy the strawberry shortcake with fresh strawberries from a local farm; even some strawberry milkshakes! Love having one boy on the grill and another manning the fryer.
