Oh my, I forgot all about this "holiday" and what do I have planned for dinner but Pork ...

DH said that the neighbors made potato pancakes yesterday and they sure smelled good. So, today we are having kielbasa, potato pancakes and some freezer red cabbage. Sounds good to me!

Homemade chicken soup over rice topped with freshly grated parmigiano reggiano & pecorino romano cheeses.

I didn't forget about that holiday. It's just not relevant since I'm a heathen.

We had breakfast for supper. I made ham cups with eggs and cheese. I also cooked the rest of a package of bacon (wouldn't want it to go off) and served that with whole wheat English muffins. Danged smoke detector went off while I was taking food out of the oven. I really wish that I could just shout, "Thank you, it's fine. Shut up now." Instead, I have to run to the far side of the living room; climb on the sofa; and push a button to turn it off. Oh well, supper was yummy.

Monday's leftover tuna salad became today's open face tuna melt. We had cups of clam chowder, too, picked up as I did a grocery run.

Ash Wednesday is only a holiday if you observe Lent, and we don't. Anyway, I made Thai red shrimp curry with jasmine rice and pickled cucumbers for dinner.

I made a creole type dish today, including some bell peppers I had to use, plus some mushrooms, and some ham, from the freezer. I made the tomato sauce, and simmered it briefly, then stirred in the leftover millet/rice mix I had with the Thai curry. I let it sit about 5 minutes, to absorb some of the liquid. Almost the same as jambalaya, w/o shrimp.

After taking the kids to school I made a run for the grocers before the storm settled in. Guess everyone else did too!
Made taco's, delish. Froze about 2 more meals from it. I don't care for tortillas so I used mini tortillas cups. Actually just about as messy but for some reason I prefer.

Egg salad sandwiches with tomato. Then strawberries with ice cream for dessert.
