NHL Season Begins - What are you eating today, Tuesday October 7, 2025?

[Katie H]

Today was our usual weekly grocery shopping day and, now, I'm going to officially call it "Pizza Tuesday."

I'm usually tired after our grocery event, so I picked up a Freschetta frozen pizza. This brand is our favorite so getting one was a no-brainer. We ate half of the pizza and might have the rest tomorrow night. We'll see if it gets attacked for lunch tomorrow. I do have a backup plan for tomorrow's evening meal just in case.

But... the best part was dessert. Glenn had mentioned a week or so ago that he really, really enjoyed having some RC Cola and a Moon Pie as a treat when he was young. That's all I needed. Little did I know I would be embarking on a "quest."

Believe it or not, RC Cola and Moon Pies are not the easiest things to find around here. It took me nearly two weeks to find them and he had a wonderful walk down Memory Lane at dessert tonight! Plus, there is more for a few more times.

What is on your table?

I had the two Merguez sausages from the tray bake a couple of days ago. I also finished off the last of the roast veggies from that tray bake. I tasted a tiny bite of the second red pepper. This one wasn't bitter. I was going to have the last of the cooked brown basmati rice, but it smelled off, so I had whole wheat toast with supper. The dish that I cooked tonight was horta, the Greek greens dish. I still think that is a great way to serve greens. It's very easy to cook it. The work is in the prep of washing and cutting up all those greens. I used about 225 grams (~1/2 lb) of spinach and 175 grams of sorrel. So, I was still short 50 or so grams of greens to make a pound. I had some romaine lettuce that is looking less than beautiful, so I added enough of that to make it up to a pound of greens. I'll try with kale as one of the greens, one of these days.

I used lemon juice in the horta and the recipe says to serve it with wedges of lemon. Well, I had cut the lemon in half at the equator so I could use the citrus juicer. Once the lemon is cut at the equator, you don't get nice looking wedges. So I cut a round of lemon from the middle of the lemon. I gave that a twist and put it on my horta. I was thinking about the garnish thread we have been participating in for a few days. This is both garnish and useful.

I watch a lot of 'soccer' in the UK, NFL and NBA don't interest me, but recently realised NHL is for sure my cup of tea and readily available to watch on DAZN

Got home late after a Chamber of Commerce meeting. Had nachos and breaded wings in the air fryer. It was gross. That stuff either doesn't agree with me any more for I never liked it and was just fooling myself. lol, Maybe it was the half dozen beer I used to chase it down with..

 

[pictonguy]

It wasn't the beer, trust me I've tested that hypothesis many times.

 

[dragnlaw]

plunked some cheese on a big slab of bread and stuffed it in the toaster oven.

Once again the Rebel Alliance defeated the evil Empire's Taco forces. While it was only a small battle in a larger conflict. One day we will forever banish Taco Tuesday to the pages of history.
