Sounds great. I love having non-“breakfast” food for breakfast.
For me the height of luxury is sitting down with a halved ripe avocado, a salt shaker, and a spoon. It’s the avocado-based equivalent of eating a ripe summer tomato out of hand while standing over the kitchen sink.
Pierogies tonight…:smack: just realized I need to stop and get sour cream on the way home.
Eating late after swimming. A big green salad with herb baked chicken, strawberries, blueberries, pecans and feta with balsamic dressing.
Sauteed onions and poblano peppers in chopped Polish sausage and bacon, with eggs lightly scrambled in. Buttered toasted slices of Italian bread.
Cuban ropa vieja on three fresh corn tortillas for me, and leaves of Romaine lettuce for the Ukulele Lady. Plus a plate of sliced ripe avocados with salt and fresh lime juice.
Fettucine alfredo, three small rounds of garlic bread, ice water.
Tonight I’m planning on Cajun salmon. I’ve just mixed up a jar full of rub. Mac’n’cheese, and green beans on the side.
Simon & Garfunkel chicken, rice pilaf and Asian chopped salad, plus pudding parfaits…
we’re having company.
I got a pile of banh mi I picked up at lunch. Got a couple to take home to the wife and a couple extra for myself for dinner and late-night snacking. They were only $3 a piece and they gave me the 6th one free. I love that place!
It’s a gorgeous day here in the PNW, perfect temperature, sunny and blue. Calls for grilling, so I’m taking the easy way out.
Strip steak rare with a potato baked on the grill with more grilled asparagus from the garden and a green salad with homemade balsamic dressing. A glass of good Cabernet Sauvignon. Rhubarb crumble for dessert if I feel ambitious and nothing if I don’t.
Nathan’s dogs on the grill, shrimp salad and some doctored up Bush’s beans. And a Breakside IPA.
We made a Hello Fresh meal. Berebere chicken and rice. It was very good!
Oxtails and broad beans, peas and rice, jerk chicken and sweet plantains. Take out-- too hot to cook.

Been far too long since I had a proper Caribbean dinner. Looks like there’s a trip to El Gran Castillo de Jagua on Flatbush Ave in my near future.
We finally started getting bahn mi storefronts in Park Slope about five years ago, but the sumsbitches charged $6-8 per sandwich. I can still get them for around $3 in Chinatown, down in Sunset Park, but it’s a schlep.

Tossed salad, calamari, filet mignon, chocolate torte, a good glass of Cabernet, ice water and decaf.

Veggie & bean soup.
With veggie broth, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, onion, green pepper, garlic, green beans, corn, peas, celery, and cannellini beans.

That’s going to be my lunch all week long.
Tombstone pepperoni pizza.
See, I wanted to use some of that mint I planted, and I had a bag of small limes, so I decided to try my hand at daiquiris and mojitos. Ended up drinking 9 ounces of 80-proof alcohol (six drinks by legal definition) and couldn’t be arsed to actually cook.
Chicken and garlic cheesy rice casserole tonight.
