What's for Dinner, Mon., April 7, 2025

[NJCher]

Big spinach salad with citrus fruit and turkey bacon crumbles. Red onion. I just made the vinaigrette, which has orange rind, freshly squeezed orange juice. Also sesame oil.

To go with it, something simple like a veggie burger on toasted ciabatta.

What I'd really like is that tunafish sandwich described by SheltieLover a week or so ago. It had banana pepper rings on it. I bought the banana pepper but now I'm thinking not to make it because I do such a poor job with hardboiled eggs. They never turn out for me, so I'm just going to drop that from my cooking repertoire. Maybe I can get some cage-free hardboiled eggs at the store.

Kombucha: tangerine.

Dessert: hope to pick up cake from the Hispanic grocery store and make a dessert with it.

It's Emile's b'day, everyone, so a Big Happy Birthday to you, Emile. He is such a champ at picking up when we need someone to do a thread and we are very thankful for that.

1. Sauted mushrooms, grilled ribeye steak,

and green beans. Chef salad later tonight.

We talked about eating out, but on Wednesday night we have an annual share holders meeting for our rural electric co-op at the Beef House restaurant.

Thanks Cher for the Birthday wishes.

Good Evening

5. Hot sauce

What brand of hot sauce?

[Drum]

6. Chalula...chipotle style

[AdamThePhantump]

7. Not familiar with that brand

Is it a well known brand?

[Drum]

8. I believe so?

I just chose it because I thought it was a milder flavor. It’s very good, not to hot.

9. Oh ok

I don’t have disposable income or else I’d buy a bottle.

4. My dinner was...

Corkscrew pasta, egg rolls and bread. Faygo orange soda included.

10. Lazy night

TJ's black bean taquitos with TJ's Green Dragon sauce for dipping. Hooray for the air fryer lid for my Instant Pot! Just 8 minutes to dinner.

We get Cholula periodically but tend to lean much hotter. When I make a batch of nachos, it's not unusual to use half a big jar of jalapeños--and then my son will augment that with something hotter. 😜

11. We're having breakfast for dinner

Eggs over easy, bacon, home fries and toast made with yesterday's batch of semolina bread.

Heart attack on a plate, but good.

12. Kielbasa sausage burnt ends!

Turned out yummy and there is a short on YouTube that shows you how.
Mashed potatoes
A BIG salad …and I made my vinaigrette with mandarin orange, red wine vinegar, avocado oil, S&P and minced shallots. Super good and lotsa goodies in the salad and topped with an Omega 3 nut and fruit mix.

Also made apple crisp with WA Ambrosia apples and more of the nut and fruit mix

Couple glasses of deep dark Cabernet to go with!

Gonna smoke a big fat joint for second dessert!!!
