[Cooking Goddess]

I haven't started this thread in a while!

Did you eat yet? And what did you have? I had a quick and easy one tonight: TJ's stuffed flounder, TJ's peas, and Carolina Rice long grain and wild rice mix. Salad included a lot of no-chop items too. At least I tore the lettuce up!

Dessert later - I have fresh-cut peaches/cherries/blueberries blending flavors in a bowl. Will serve them up with some vanilla ice cream later.

We had taco stuff again! Along with corn on the cob with a bit of age on it, but still tasty. The last of the cherries.

I was going to make an omelette for supper, but Stirling already had eggs for breakfast. His tummy doesn't like more than three eggs in a day. So, we ordered Indian. It was very tasty, but not nearly as hot as we would have liked. I think they toned down the heat because we live in the 'burbs.

We had leftovers of the stuffed veggies I did for Sunday dinner.

That looks and sounds good CG !

I made well browned and sliced pork belly (from Trader Joe's) with fresh rice noodles from there also, in a highly seasoned Asian beef broth ("Better Than Bouillon" base) with lots of appropriate veggies. It was sure good for just cooking on the fly....

I love doing that..it makes me happy.

I just found this the other day at TJ's how is it Kayelle?
I was thinking of serving that tomorrow with the leftover veggies from tonight's supper, the namasu was exceptionally ONO (delicious)

I really love the Pork Belly from TJ's Kgirl, it's fully cooked. It's the second time I've used it. The first time I got it all brown and crispy on the outdoor gas grill, and this time I did it in a skillet. It sliced nicely both times. It's sure something I'll buy again, and the perfect size for just the two of us.

Nice pics, ladies! I'm hoping to get to TJ's sometime this week. Since it's nearly 100 miles away, I don't get there often.

Tonight's dinner was leftovers from lunch - the other half of a ginormous carne asada burrito from a local little mom and pop place...best I've ever had. Tiny little place but they sure are popular here in town.

I had a venison steak (for the first time...have tried the burgers), with watercress and a moroccan style couscous (shamelessly bought but very good).

My sense of taste is somewhat marred through losing my sense of smell but, if I was presented with the steak (and maybe been blindfolded), it would have passed for beef. Fairly good but was expecting a richer flavour.

 

[LPBeier]

I had a very unhealthy (for me) dinner of Deluxe Kraft Dinner with sliced pepperoni added in. I topped it off with a Klondike bar for dessert.

Well, it is the most I have eaten since my surgery last week so that says something!

I had my magazine-writing class last night so a simple dinner before: Bacon, cucumber, tomato, Havarti cheese sandwich with pickled cucumbers and leftover Israeli couscous with grilled veggies and herb vinaigrette.
