Homemade pizza (well Mama Mary pizza crust with our sauce and toppings) or raviolis and a side salad. We'll see how the vote goes. LOL
I'm making chili with Bush's chili Texas beans and Ro-tel fire-roasted tomatoes. Probably a salad, since I still have a lot of the 1# tub of baby spinach to work through. Wish we liked it cooked, but it makes the back of our teeth feel chalky all the rest of the day - even if we brush.
Bush's chili is really not bad for canned chili, if you jazz it up a bit. I'm not sure what "Texas beans" are, but down here, that would be Ranch Style brand beans. Rotel tomatoes are heavily used down here, too. I haven't tried the "fire roasted" ones -- to be honest, this is the first I've heard of them. I'll look for them the next time I go shopping.
I have no idea what I want for dinner. I'm probably just going to graze tonight.

CD, Fire Roasted Tomatoes are wonderful, much more depth in flavor than just plain ole' tinned tomatoes, although Ro-tel has more "stuff" in it that you don't have to buy. I use the Fire Roasted Tomatoes in my stews and Chilis, then I add chopped medium heat Hatch Chiles to our liking, but I always have some whole ones stashed in the deep freeze.
**Note to self: used the last package of chiles, need to get more.
I cook for dad and step-mom, both in their 90's, every Wed. They live about 45 min away.
My dad, he's Greek, wanted salted mackerel for dinner this evening. He loves J food. (he married 3 Japanese women, including this current one).
Anyway, here's a couple of pic from tonight's cook.View attachment 26848View attachment 26849
I am still on soup - can't seem to stomach much else since the surgery. Today it was mushroom with a couple of pieces of toast (all gluten and dairy free of course).
TB is off work today so I am sure he will have something light as in the rest of the chicken strips. I have let him sleep and he can eat whenever he gets up.
