> Hey **Johnny** , what happened with the chocolate chip Bisquick?
I think they came out a little dry. Mrs. L.A. said they’re good. I was hoping for a spiral sort of thing with the morsels inside. They turned out to be drop biscuits with chocolate chips. I could have saved time just by mixing it all together.

Sloppy Joes tonight. Haven’t made them in really long time, as in ten years. Standard recipe, unless someone has a better one.

I haven’t had sloppy Joes since the cafeteria in elementary school.

In our high school it was called “barbecued beef on a buttered bun”, a phrase that even made it into the senior class yearbook. My mother never made the stuff, and I never made it at home until I had kids. But it’s a really easy and tasty concoction. When I read the recipe, I thought hell, except for the lack of molasses, this is just barbecue sauce.

Barbecued beef implies not-ground beef.

Nearly the same here, except I apparently forgot to hit the “on” button on my rice maker an hour or so ago so it was just rice taking a cool bath. So now I have a nice stir fry sitting on the counter getting cold, while the rice is 40 minutes away.

Salad. We have lettuce, cherry tomatoes, diced roasted chicken breast, sliced hard-boiled eggs, sliced radishes, sliced cucumber, croutons, and shredded cheddar cheese.

Leftover slice of meatloaf on a few spoonfuls of mashed potatoes. Topped with Stonewall Kitchen Country Ketchup - a chunky, spicy, commercially made sauce that is so utterly addictive I have gone through three jars all by myself since the end of July.

I made two separate soups this morning. Uke Lady was going to get a Thai cabbage-tofu soup and I was having a kind of goyische matzoh ball soup – with chicken meat and a lot of vegetables – or a Jewish chicken and dumplings – matzoh balls instead of regular gentile dumplings.
She got sent home early – no one in Manhattan is doing anything today but talking about Trump – drank a bottle of wine, and went to bed.
I’m still drinking. Both pots of soup are in the fridge. I hope we’ll want them tomorrow.

Bone-in pork chops, mashed potatoes and niblet corn. Washed down with much bourbon.

I made saag aloo today; my first try at it. Came out okay, but I should have chopped the spinach up and I overcooked the potatoes a little. And I’m definitely adding more black pepper than the recipe called for.
Still, it was edible and tasted enough like I expected that I saved the leftovers for lunches.

Had to look it up: [Saag - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saag)
For me, sirloin stir-fry tonight with French bread and ice water.

Chicken wat. Leg quarter simmered in onion, peppers, cocoa, banana, peanuts. Served on the closest I can make quickly that resembles injeri. (Pancakes with some cornmeal stirred into the flour, just a little baking powder and a good dash of lemon juice.)

Fettucine alfredo, small tossed salad, ice water. Homemade brownies with raspberry jam for dessert.
