The chipotle chili was delicious as always, but not quite sufficient. The kielbassa sandwich concept was abandoned in favour of sliced baguette, toasted on a stovetop, buttered, and generously layered with liverwurst, along with a big glass of cabernet. ---

Tonight was beef bourguignon, herbed biscuits and a green salad. Later we split a raspberry lambic, accompanied by dark chocolate-covered cashews and some Ispahan sables. ---

The last few days have been: Sunday: The Japanese version of Dan Dan Noodles. Monday: A headache, a nap, and a very late ham sandwich. Tuesday: Leftover Japanese style Dan Dan Noodles. Today: Pretty good frozen pizza with garlic added, and a few Dadgum/El Chingon IPAs for dessert. ---

Crispy pork chop (withOUT onions this time, can you believe it?!) with rice - okay, Rice-A-Roni in a cup - and crusty bread slathered with roasted garlic. I mean, I gotta get my allium somewhere. There were also nibbles of cheese, butter, and some gravy-from-a-packet involved. Mostly because of, well, bread. Multivitamin washed down with a ton of water for dessert. Will probably still wake up thirsty as hell in the middle of the night - that felt like a shitload of salt. (I have low blood pressure, so health-wise I’m not concerned. Just gonna wake up super parched, I just know it.) ---

Last might Mrs Mollusc made a spicy thai coconut sweet potato soup , very nice. Not feeling like cooking tonight and we had a some pork left over so I shredded that and am warming it up in a pan with some of the soup as a sort of curry sauce , and heating up some left over rice. It will be interesting. Got some Costco tamales in the fridge if it goes wrong. Chardonnay forbid it goes wrong, or right. ---

Tonight will be casual easy nibbling instead of actual dinner. I have some nice Camembert and aged white cheddar and lots of wine to start. Then baked French onion soup, with either a sandwich or sausage rolls. Haagen Dazs and strawberries for dessert. ---

Last night was home made fried chicken, biscuits and coleslaw. Not our best version of any of them, but quite tasty. Tonight is leftover fried chicken, biscuits and coleslaw. I have no complaints. ---

Chicken Noodle Soup with kale, yams, and about a zillion other things. The kale was from a small garden we planted 5 years ago. We mulched the ground and never planted anything there, but each year we get a crop of tomatillos and kale. ---
