My Pennsylvania-born-and-bred wife can’t stand it and throws _ **Health** _ reasons in my face if I want to fix some for myself. Can you believe it? Not good for my _health_! 🙄

I made Chicken Thighs last night. Cooked to 120 in the microwave first then coated with olive oil and black pepper then BBQ’d. Shredding up the meat tonight and mixing with sautéed onions and adding that to a Sweet Basil Suddenly Salad mix. Sprinkled with sharp cheddar cheese and Ken’s Vidalia Onion dressing.

Sadly, it’s not Huy Fong. It’s [Sky Valley](https://coolmaterial.com/feature/we-tasted-nine-sriracha-sauces-to-find-the-best/), which is what they have at the Korean-owned corner market. (Too bad they stopped carrying kimchi.)

A bag once opened must be consumed in its entirety.

Today? as of 11:30 a.m. I finished the rest of a pasta salad I made last night, thin spaghetti, basil, chopped tomato and a huge clove of minced garlic. With Aldi Mediterranean dressing. I imagine my breath could knock a buzzard off a sh!t-house door, but I’m not planning on going anywhere today.

So far today? I don’t do ‘breakfast’, though if really hungry I will have a little of the leftovers, if any, from the previous night’s meal. This morning, at 9 a.m. had coffee and the rest of the PF Chang Dan Dan noodles we had last night.
