There's an older anchor on 1 of our local stations, who has a weekly segment on how to make fairly simple quick dishes. She did 1 last week using King's Hawaiian rolls, purchased or homemade small meatballs, purchased or homemade marinara, mozzarella and ParmR. You core out each roll, leaving bottom intact, take a little more bread out around the sides, brush with garlic oil, toast, then put a little marinara on the bottom, some mozzarella, a cooked meatball, some more mozzarella, a little more sauce, then grate some ParmR on top, bake in the oven at 300 F for about 20-25 minutes. You can even leave the rolls in the cardboard tray they come in to bake.

I made the meatballs, plus have more for another meal, as well as the marinara. They came out pretty good, but I think I would either buy rolls that don't have the slightly sweet taste like King's Hawaiian do, or make garlic rolls and form the dough like a doughnut where the hole doesn't go all the way through. Then, just bake everything in 1 go.

Oh, picture is pre bake, but after toast. I forgot to take 1 after bake. We had tots as a side.

Went to a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Phoebus, VA called Mama Rosa's. They have the best Cream of Broccoli soup I've had in a while. Also had angel hair pasta with meat sauce. Stopped at Dairy Queen for a small French Silk Pie Blizzard. My blood sugar is going to be through the roof tomorrow - but I don't indulge like this every day.
 
I was very unmotivated today. Eventually I fried a pork chop and some sliced mushrooms. I made a salad of green crisp lettuce, garlicky olives, and shaved red onion. I just sprinkled a bit of EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) and some white wine vinegar on top and called it a salad. I also had a piece of whole wheat toast. That was pretty good for uninspired.

I almost forgot. I got some Tajin with today's grocery order. I tried some on the salad and it was interesting and delicious.
