Gonna marinate boneless chicken thighs in lime juice, cumin, chili powder, maybe some s&p, maybe some oil, then fire up the grill. Makin tacos with some spinach slaw. ---

I threw a sriracha pork poin into the oven, so to go with it: > **[Sweet and Spicy Roasted Cauliflower.](https://www.howsweeteats.com/2018/04/sweet-and-spicy-roasted-cauliflower/)** > > This sweet and spicy cauliflower is baked and not fried! It's super crunchy and crispy after being baked in the oven. Then it's drizzled with a sticky sweet and spicy sauce that is incredibly delicious and so super easy to make! ---

instant pot short ribs. But my belly has been bothering me all day, and that was too rich for me tonight. ☹ ---

Well, I don’t know what’s on the menu specifically, but since we have at least one hundred eggs in the house, I can use that as a guide. :smack: We have chickens, so we always have more than enough eggs. My stepson is moving away and donated his chickens to us, plus all the eggs he’s been stockpiling for like a month. I’m giving the darn things away as fast as I can! ---

Some form of chicken and some roasted asparagus. I made a saffron cake for desert. ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > Some form of chicken and some roasted asparagus. I made a saffron cake for desert. The dish turned into one of those happy inventions that sometimes occur in the kitchen. My wife had purchased a block of lemon Stilton cheese at Costco on an impulse the other day. So I thought: Hmmm. . .how about pasta with browned chicken and broiled asparagus, all tossed in a bechamel sauce made with that cheese? Turned out great, especially after a generous grind of pepper on top. ---

My stepson is moving away and donated his chickens to us, plus all the eggs he’s been stockpiling for like a month. I’m giving the darn things away as fast as I can! You should pickle a gallon or 2. They make great snacks. And, of course keep for awhile. I am making cottage fries and plain old sauteed pork chops, I have spinach salad but I will probably be the only one eating it. (First harvest of my spinach bed). ---

I’ve heard of them a million times, but I honestly don’t know, what are cottage fries? ---

Steaks tonight, I haven’t decided what else. I’m looking forward to it though, it’s been ages since I’ve cooked steaks. ---

I boiled the four small artichokes from Trader Joe’s last night. I ate mine with melted olive oil margarine with garlic powder and salt, and Mrs. L.A. ate hers with mayonnaise. Boy, I love artichokes! 🙂 I was still a little hungry, so I had a [Chile Lime Chicken Burger](https://www.traderjoes.com/FearlessFlyer/Article/3072), ‘protein style’. (i.e., wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun.) So what’s on the menu tonight? I don’t know. I’ve been wanting falafel. ---
