Leftover spaghetti and chicken couscous. We still have more leftovers but I think it’s going to be sloppy joes and corn on the cob. ---

For the first time ever dinner started with steamed asparagus _which I had grown myself_. Just thought I’d mention it. j ---

We had bucatini with tomato basil sauce, garlic bread dressed with oregano I grew myself and a salad with lettuce I grew myself. I love spring and summer here for that very reason - freshest herbs, fruit and vegetables possible. ---

Well dang. We had asparagus too, but I didn’t _grow_ it. 🙂 Also had grilled ham slices with applesauce, and “crash hot potatoes” from a recipe somebody here linked to in another thread. Delicious! I think I want to go out for pizza tonight. ---

Easter dinner is just the two of us (plus the cats) so we’re having glazed ham steaks, mashed potatoes and green beans. Then brownies and ice cream for dessert. If the cats are very good they may get a bit of whipped cream on a spoon as a treat. ---

Last night we had sandwiches: Kirkland roast beef (I mention the brand because it’s good), Swiss cheese, Roma tomatoes, mayonnaise, and mustard. Mrs. L.A. had Lays potato chips with hers, and I had spicy chicharrones with mine. ---

Might be quiche and salad. What with Easter and Lab Week, I’ve eaten all kinds of unnecessary stuff lately and don’t feel the usual motivation today! ---

Chicken Provençal, roasted endives and spring onions, white beans cooked in chicken stock and mashed with rosemary, and a few inches of reheated baguette. Frankly, the beans and bread would have been enough.
