We had hotdogs with homemade relish and homemade sauerkraut. Weiners and buns are store-bought! Dessert was chocolate cake!

Sometimes I just don't feel like cooking. One of the quick meal solutions I've discovered is Patak's cooking sauces. I've tried 3 different dishes in the past several months and they are consistently good. SO, who is not a great lover of Indian based dishes, has liked them all.

Tonight we had butter chicken over basmati rice.

I have a migraine, so we ordered burgers. They were good.

For dinner: 22 oz. bag of frozen meatballs, Simek brand, homestyle, simmered in a sauce made with a can of bourbon BBQ Manwich and a box of Ragu double cheddar sauce. This mixed with a pound of pasta.

All right, it doesn't sound impressive. But it tasted really, really good. And it was quick, less than an hour and 20 minutes.

And for overnight, I made a rice salad: jalapeno Spam, habanero jack cheese, buffalo wing jack cheese, tomatoes, green onions mixed in with long grain white rice cooked with roasted garlic Better Than Bouillon. Salad dressing of ranch mixed with tzatziki dressing.

 

[Jusa]

Wedding food. It was a buffet but surprisingly good. Chicken, brisket with a mustard-based BBQ sauce, green beans, zucchini, potatoes, peppers and onions.

 

[Xocolatl]

Went out for lunch with my mom.

Tzatziki, muhammara and hummus dips

Spicy meatballs with peanut sauce

This shop's famous apple pie

 

[Jade Emperor]

Pan Fried Chicken Schnitzel with Potato Daphinoise, Sautéed Spinach and Mushrooms.

Cook’s Notes:
Both of us agreed that it was all beautifully tasty, but my portion size was way too large here.

Each element was quite rich and the dish overall would have benefited from some much lighter elements, such as the sauce.

We went to my nephew's and niece-in-law's gender reveal party/baby shower. It's a boy! Her parents had a great spread: fried chicken, meatballs, mac and cheese, potato salad, broccoli salad, chicken salad, cupcakes and a wedding-like cake. These events are pretty elaborate these days.

 

[dragnlaw]

Had a frozen Tator Tot Hotdish.
Was too dry, should have diluted the "gravy" (canned soup) but thought it would dilute itself from while it was freezing/thawing/cooking. So... now I know.
Was still very tasty.
