DH came back with a huge sub from Walmart yesterday, it actually had very little flavor despite all the meats and cheeses, so I think I'll bake it and add many, many condiments.
Have no interest in cooking today, and *gasp* I'm out of leftovers. We have some random lunchmeats (a rare occurrence around here) so it will be sammies with a salad. Nothing fancy - I think I'm on strike today but I'm too disinterested to figure it out.
I bought a half bone-in turkey breast for Shrek, I will be roasting that, I was going to do up some red potatoes, but they are yucky! This hot weather plays havoc with produce. I have some mashed potatoes frozen from another meal, I will warm those and a light grape salad with orange dressing on greens.
I went to the store to pick up some cream, scallions and mushrooms (which I did get BTW) for some creamy Cajun chicken... but... also left with some broccoli and a small prime rib roast. I am going to attempt to cook that little roast on the grill. Kind of a hybrid Perfect Prime Rib from Food Wishes method, since no way do I have the time to let it come up to room temp and no way is my grill as airtight as my oven.
It will either come out like prime rib or come out like grilled beef.
I planned to have my son over for dinner for his 27th birthday celebration, which was yesterday, but he has been on tour with his band for the last week and has played in 4 different cities in 5 nights. He called me from my house, where he stores some of his belongings and asked if I would be disapointed if he just returned to the city because he is beat and hasn't had a shower in a couple of days and has no clean clothes left.
So, we have some tenderloin in the fridge which has to be eaten because I am off to the city to see him tomorrow. I think I will eat it with peppercorn sauce, baked potato, and some Ceasar salad....
I have half a London broil that needs cooking, so I will sear it on the grill pan and serve with chimichurri sauce. We also have already-cooked mussels in the freezer, left over from when DH took his teachers on their retreat and made low-country boil. I'm going to make mussels in white wine-garlic-butter-parsley sauce garnished with chopped tomatoes, with toasted baguette slices for sopping. Green salad on the side.
In thinking grilled burgers (sans the bun) served with onion jam. Macaroni salad and maybe some fresh green beans from the garden, if the deer have left us any :/. On my way out to check for beans now, wish me luck

Well that wasn't tough at all. I don't see what all the beef is about cooking prime rib. You can pretty much wing it as long as you have a thermometer. burp
Well my strike worked pretty good - seems like management got hungry. Ended up going to Ruby Tueday's - one of the few chain restaurants we like. Printed off a discount coupon - $10 off two dinners. Our trash hauler participates in a recycling program called "Recycle Rewards". You get points for recycling and can redeem the points for discounts and stuff like a one-year subscription to over 40 magazines. So, in a manner of speaking, we ate our garbage tonight! We like to go there for their salad bar - it includes fresh-made, inhouse pumpernickel croutons. OH yum!
