I went food shopping this morning.

Brunch was sirloin steak, homemade mac salad and watermelon.

This morning I made a Tomato Basil Risotto, binged on almost half of it - think I'm probably good for now. Tomatoes and basil from the garden.

But in case I'm not, I got a huge bag of onions on sale and made some caramelized onions this afternoon. I could have some with a poached chicken breast I did the other day...
 
Meat Loaf, Roasted Yukons seasoned with Paprika and Garlic Powder, S & P,
Steamed Sprouts & Boiled Radishes, Salad w/ Catalina French Dressing...

I took a couple of pork chops out of the freezer for tonight's dinner. Apparently, I was feeling thin when I sliced these two chops because they are on the slim side. I think I'll sear them quickly in a super hot skillet so they don't dry out. Salads and some T-Tots for me and l/o potato salad for SO.
 
Waay too hot for cooking either inside or out. Hopped on my bike (mistake, I said it was hot!) and up to the store. Bought some fried chicken pieces, cole slaw, tater salad and deli pickle beets.
 
I tried out a recipe for "Easy Lo Mein" a couple of weeks ago and it has promise. I tried again with some tweaks. This is no longer lo mein, but it is lo mein inspired. I add some meat - leftover grilled burgers, chopped up. It was pretty good. I'll be tweaking this some more.

We had garden salads and Naan bread pizzas. Himself's toppings were ham, pepperoni, onions, and mushrooms. Mine was a Hawaiian pizza with ham, pineapple, sliced almonds, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. You haters can hate, but I love it! [emoji38]

I had a nice fat and juicy cheeseburger with homemade Mac salad.
