I had a curry at tea time, Chicken Jal Frazei, and at two in the morning a Meatfeast pizza.
I’m working nights at the moment.
Have stopped drinking large amounts of very strong coffee now as it was giving me indigestion, have changed to large amounts of double bagger tea, which keeps me awake equally well, with no obvious side effects so far.
Plus tea is so much more civilised, you uncultured colonial barbarians !
Last night, the Fella and I went here to celebrate his birthday http://www.castleheightschophouse.net/ . He had the prime rib and I had the Mongolian pork shanks. It was delicious.
This evening, it was back to family food: Sauteed chicken chunks with portabella mushrooms and onions over rice with a sprinkle of grated asiago, marinated summer squash and sliced tomatoes from the farmers’ market (they’re especially good this year) with cottage cheese. The boys all had a bowl of ice cream for dessert.
I joined Weight Watchers today. Then my husband suddenly got hungry and started asking what “we” were having for meals.
Dinner was a fakey-fake eggplant parmesan that I made up on the spot. Slices of eggplant sauteed with melted mozzarella and parmesan on top, eaten with spaghetti and tomato sauce.
Tonight is a Bacon Chicken Ranch Macaroni and Cheese - I think it’s this one. I’ve never made it before, so we’ll see how it goes. I’ll probably up the bacon (1 slice only? Seriously?) and use 2% milk instead (it’s all we have; I generally don’t buy skim). I’m also a little peeved about the measurement on the canned soup, but what can you do. (1/3 of a cup? Really? So I get to do what with the rest? Probably toss it.)
Here’s hoping it’s good. I’ve had good luck with Cooking Light recipes, so I think it will be.
Tomorrow is mayo-and-parmesan crusted baked chicken breasts with steamed broccoli, with red pepper, sausage, & tomato penne on Wednesday. Then I need to go to the store.
Well, it was Beef Stroganoff, only made with hamburger, and over rice because I’m tired of noodles. But yes, it did have the mushrooms and onions and garlic, it did have a homemade sauce with chicken base in it, and it did have sour cream in it. And the cats thought that they were gonna DIE if they didn’t get some. But I gave them gooshyfood instead, because our food had the onions and garlic.
We had a pasta salad made with oddball pasta I’d never had before. I threw in a homemade balsamic vinaigrette, purslane leaves (raw), green onion tops (raw), green onion bottoms (sauteed), shitake mushrooms (sauteed), and carrot slices (raw). I let that chill out in the fridge for a few hours, then when we got home I halved some cherry tomatoes & threw them in at the last minute. This group was mostly to reduce some of the things we got in our CSA share Thursday.
I thought it was okay, but overdressed. My husband liked it enough to have seconds. Of course, he had also basically forgotten to eat today, but he did say he liked it. I think that means it can be his lunch tomorrow.
Pork dumplings from Trader Joes with sauteed snow peas, tomatoes and rice. Cherries and watermelon for dessert. I’ve weaned the baby so I’m also having a glass of port.
