We had a bit of a southern down-home menu. Corned beef and cabbage, and cornbread. The corned beef came from a can. Two cans, actually! I finally listened to my “inner mom’s voice”, and made my cornbread in my cast iron skillet. OMG! I had forgotten how the crispy bottom is soooo tasty! It was THE YUM. ---

Something simple, because I have to rush out to a choir practice afterwards. So it’s going to be gnocchi and pesto, salad, and some bread. ---

The cheese souffle was awesome, by the way. ---

Mezze penne with house made marinara and sausage from a little Italian grocery down the street. ---

Tonight is chili verde, using home-grown chilis. Yum! ---

Tonight, chicken enchiladas, tomorrow pot roast. The rest of the week will see pasta primavera, pork chops, and leftovers, not necessarily in that order. ---

I can’t remember what’s on my list. I think it will be pork chops. ---

(sigh) I procrastinate. So the hens will be for _tomorrow_ night. Tonight we’re having that steak, with the tomatoes and maybe some fresh mozzarella. Basil in the backyard is coming in nicely - that will go nice with the 'maters. Had some salmon in a quick Asian-y marinade last night, since Mr. Horseshoe was finishing his huge lunchtime sammich as dinner, and he doesn’t like salmon, so I fix it for myself when he’s having something I don’t want. Snacked on the leftover bits at my desk today. ---

Cheeseburgers with carameled onions on wheat bread and green beans. 🆒If I had ice cream in the house that would be it for dinner,😉 but now that’s really getting up in temp.:eek::smack: maybe a bowl of cold cereal, oooooooh cold milk. 😃 ---

Holy crap this chili verde is good! The wife marinated the pork in [Versailles’ Mojo marinade](http://www.versaillescuban.com/Product/Store.aspx?cat=4&a=23#23), then popped it in the slow cooker with the chilis. A little honey to mellow out the bite, a buttload of garlic, and we are eating fine tonight! ---
