I’m having baked potatoes with green onions, fried garlic, sour cream, several kinds of cheese and a little bit of butter… Mmmm… taters! I could fry bacon but it’s overkill… ---

Leftover corn spoon bread. I’m about to have a string cheese as my bedtime snack. ---

I had a microwave ‘Lean Gourmet’ 5 Cheese Lasagna that ends up looking like a skin graft after it’s been micro-blasted. _sigh_ The wife and smallest had ravioli’s with spaghetti sauce out of a jar (added meat and a few spices). I’ll have that tomorrow for lunch. ---

Well, I found some monster ‘country style’ ribs in the knock-down bin so I bought a bottle of BBQ sauce and threw it all in the crock pot. To paraphrase Joan Crawford in ‘The Women’, “Ribs and BBQ sauce in the crock pot? What’s to keep it from getting delicious?” ---

Spiral-sliced ham. It was on sale at Sam’s Club, and I’m giving half of it to my daughter and her fiance. It’ll take care of my sandwich needs for the week, and the hambone is in the freezer, awaiting its transformation into ham and bean soup next month. ---

Barbecued beef ribs, with a couple of my sister’s contest-winning [sweet potato cakes](http://www.southernliving.com/southern/events/06/cookoff_2006/06winners/southerndesserts.html) for dessert. ---

Homemade chicken cacciatore over pasta, sweet tea and garlic bread. My new Le Creuset is awesome and has been getting good use since the holidays. ---

I ate a mesquite turkey with provolone on toasted wheat bread sandwich after work. And had a beer. Yay for not knowing how to cook. Might have some pretzels here and another beer; I’m off tomorrow. ---

Bruschetta (with waaay too much garlic and I was too lazy to toast the bread crostini-esquely), baked couscous with spinach and pine nuts, and a too-heavy (but still good) cabernet sauvignon. I like it when I cook but I don’t do it nearly enough. ---

Cornflake crumb chicken (thighs and a few breasts), broccoli, baked potatoes, cheese sauce, and some frozen corn and beans. The chicken was a recipe from my mother - slightly different from what’s on the box. ---

1/4 of a Costco pizza with hot sauce and pickled peppers on top, and a can of cheap (but good-tasting) [beer](http://www.pwbrewing.com/section.asp?catid=76&pageid=227). Due to forgetfulness regarding the refrigerated status of a litre of half-and-half when I left the house this morning (should have been 1, turns out to have been 0), it looks like I’ll be baking a [cake](http://www.bettycrocker.com/Products/SuperMoist-Cakes/) or something for dessert shortly. ---

Hubby works out of town during the week, so on weeknights, it’s only me, **EtherealFreakOfPinkness** , (15), and **mudgirl** , 7. Therefore, weenight dinners are usually quick n easy kid pleasers. Tonight will be pigs in a blanket (hot dogs wrapped in those refrigerator dough crescent rolls, and baked), baked beans, and fruit. ---

Tonight will be flank steak marinated in french dressing (don’t knock it till you’ve tried it!) and au gratin potatoes. I can’t WAIT to get home!
