Tovala meal. Chicken and red bell pasta with some leftover Papa John's cheese bread.

I wasn't really in the mood for cooking, but I had defrosted some ground pork the other day and I didn't want it to go off or get lost in my fridge. So, I chopped up an onion and fried the half a kilo (a bit more than a pound) of ground pork with the chopped onion. A good 3/4 of that is in the process of being frozen now. I continued cooking the scant 1/4 of the meat with some leftover, cooked, brown basmati rice. Then I added a bunch of sesame seeds and tamari. I put some LGM chili crisp on it. Yeah, that was food and I enjoyed it. No pictures.

Mr bliss was just not sure about today's meal. It was the mixed grains, chickpeas, corn, asparagus from the garden, warmed in the microwave, topped with basil/parsley/walnut/garlic pesto and diced fresh tomatoes. He liked it! Yay. It was good. I have enough made for 2 more servings in case any of you show up, or as planned overs for us.

Steamed a couple of lobster tails. At least the garlic butter and rice were delicious.

Edit to add - should have realized with lunch going the way it did, why am I surprised supper was no different?

 

[Andy M.]

SV chuck steaks with sour cream mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus.

An open face tuna melt on Italian toast with melted pepper Jack cheese and a scoop of cucumber salad.

Seeing as I am at least 6 hours ahead of most of you, I'll post my lunch for today here , Wednesday 8th May.

Pearl barley salad (or pearled barley? ). We call it "orzo perlato" .
I simply added tomatoes, cucumbers, cannellini beans and lettuce, onions, with EVOO of course .

Looks really good, @Meryl! I love barley in anything. And I usually see it called "pearled", but sometimes pearl barley.

Pulled some frozen beef stew for dinner and made a salad.

Thank you @pepperhead212 , it was very good. It would have been tastier with a little salt but I must be disciplined, and stick to my new rule of not adding salt to my dishes. (as per medical advice)
