Cleaning house sure puts a crimp on dinner prep and cook time. However, ANY meal that includes bacon is gourmet, right? :yum: We split a can of Progresso soup in the spirit of cleaning up food inventory, then we had BLT sandwiches - Himself's on Vienna white bread, mine on LaBrea whole wheat.
 
Beef, bean, and cheese enchiladas and Mexican rice.

I was hungry for some Indian food, and I baked those breadsticks to have with it, what ever I decided. I got some vegetables out of the freezer, plus that frozen dhansak masala, that I froze back in September (something I don't use as much as others). I cooked the curry in the Instant Pot, with 1/2c each of chana dal, masoor dal, and whole oats, and while that cooked I made a quick and easy coconut chutney, with some rehydrated unsweetened coconut, 3 green chilis, 1/2 tb grated ginger, and a little salt, ground up together. Then a tarka is made, and poured on the top.

When the dal was finished, I added the drained beans, and bottle gourd, about 12 oz each, and cooked a few minutes. Amazing how crunchy those vegetables were after freezing since the summer.

I followed a recipe for a Cuban pork roast the other night. I was too tired to make sides, so I didn't serve it for supper. But, the main point of making it was to make some cubano sandwiches. We had those tonight. They were good. I will try a different kind of bread another time. This one didn't squish very well. If I have pix on the camera (didn't use the phone camera today), I will post them later. I also found a recipe for some "Cuban cole slaw", which I made and served with the sandwiches. We are both stuffed.
