Friday February 6, 2026, and it seems appropriate to mention here it’s National Chopsticks Day!!

[In A Pickle]

Don’t have a lot of food in the house at the moment so took a packet of bacon, some cooked leftover chicken, a single gherkin (to cut through any potential claggy mayo) and put it on a jacket potato.

When did it happen that a whole jacket potato just felt like too much food?!!

My SO insisted on Pad Thai once more so that will be dinner and have enough tamarind made but need to pick up some cilantro and bean sprouts. Chopsticks will be engaged.

What sort, Chinese, Japanese or Korean?

No evening meal for us tonight.

We were finally able to get "out" because of the previous week's snow and ice, so we took the opportunity to run some errands, gas up the truck and make a run through the carwash, which was TOTALLY necessary.

Then, some strange thing happened. That big hook from Cracker Barrel grabbed us on our way home. Well, of course, we had to obey. We left feeling stuffed as the Thanksgiving Day turkey, so we will either "graze" or have microwave popcorn while we watch a movie later tonight.

Oh, my! We both had the fried catfish which, as usual, was perfect!

We had tortellini and Italian sausage planned for tonight but the sausage had gone over.

Domino's delivery for us tonight. Philly cheese steak for me, pizza for Mrs. Boss and chicken Alfredo pasta for the Wookie.

I couldn't make up my mind. So I through a bunch of stuff together.
But I included some titanium chopsticks

 

[RavingLunatic]

Homemade yogurt and some jam. Maybe thick enough to eat with chopsticks but I didn’t.

I'm doing a deconstructed California sushi bowl with an improvisational addition of teriyaki glazed enoki mushrooms.

Since steak is not on my shopping list until it is reasonably priced, I had a pork chop, sous vide and seared, some mashed potatoes with lots of butter, and some broccoli.

Tonight was a standard Fish Fry followed by 1/2 dozen Mozeralle sticks and a dozen chicken wings with a Jam (jelly) donut for desert

 

[dragnlaw]

Started off with some Ø, then after a while I had some Ø along with a bit of Ø. This was followed by several ØØ. Thought I'd finish up with ØØ but instead munched on a cold beet straight out of the fridge. Was perfect.

Just remembered I grabbed a trio of h/b quail eggs along with the beet.

Oh my goodness, that looks and sounds so good.

I am trying to eat out of the freezer, but I didn't really feel like it today. And, I had some bacon lardons that were going to go off any minute now. So, I used the lardons in a recipe for Pasta with Gorgonzola sauce and pears. It was supposed to be pancetta, but the pancetta is in an unopened package and not in danger of going off very soon. There are supposed to be walnuts in this recipe, but I didn't think the flavour of the walnuts went well with this when I tried them the first time, so I used pumpkin seeds. I have tried using pecans, but their flavour gets overwhelmed, so you don't really taste them. I added some young rainbow chard near the end. The pasta was whole wheat fusilli. I really enjoyed that.

Ribeyes were on "sale" for $13 a pound. Still pricey, but we only needed 1 decent sized steak for the 2 of us since it was a salad meal. Craig had mentioned wanting the above salad a week or 2 ago, so since there was a "sale" decided to get some.
