Dinner

[PrchJrkr]

@PrchJrkr - have you ever gotten anything from Schwan's? I was never one to buy their products, but since they stop by our office every other week, I took a look through their catalog. They have a great line of "healthier" choices and are super easy to pop in the oven or toaster oven if you don't have time to cook OR are only cooking for 1.

I do cook sometimes. That's just what I had that was convenient. I usually eat lots of fruit, and always have a vegetable with my supper. I just go through phases. I helped a neighbor get in some wood and worked on a boat after work and didn't leave enough time to cook something healthy. It's all about priorities.

I understand. I was just being helpful.

And I do appreciate it. For all the joking about the food I eat, I do try to balance it out. Of course, I consider that big piece of cheesecake I had for dessert my dairy for the day.

It being a Friday, I guess I'm going to hell. I grilled a t-bone over charcoal, warmed crusty rolls, and opened a bag of salad.

Is that place a cut above most of the places in SOMD??

somebody had a small version of those that they used to sell in the commissary. I swear I got tipsy from them. Berticillis or something like that. They quit selling them dammit. They were deliciousioso.

I don't know who made it, but they did a fantastic job!

It is pretty good. You should take Mrs. Grumpy there for dinner sometime.

Will have to do that, was wondering if the food there was any good.

I recommend. I've been there several times.

Maybe here? http://www.wildewoodpastryshop.com/

I made meat loaf, mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables and rolls. For once I actually cooked an entire meal. Grandson is back for the weekend. I just can't cook all that just for me. Not that I can't, I don't want to.

I find it harder and harder to get into cooking for one. It's just so easy to fry a burger and throw some fries in the toaster oven. My stove has been out of gas for almost a month. I'm starting to miss it.

It's very hard. I don't want to bother. I do make a lot of crock pot dishes, all in one skillet dishes and always make enough for leftovers the next day.

I am sorry you are cooking for one. I am here for you; if you need someone to talk to.

And, to stay on topic. Dinner tonight was grilled baby backs, homemade potato salad, and corn on the cob.

And, just a reminder, y’all, use fresh stuff first, and keep the canned stuff for later, to survive the current virus apocalypse.

Gotta stop thinking in terms of small meals, because it is a pain. I make meals that can be used for days, multiple meals. For example, I roasted a whole chicken on the grill. No mess at all, took about the same time to roast it as it would to make a couple of thighs in the oven. But from that roast I got 2 meals of roasted legs, thighs and wings with stuffing. Then there was the great chicken sammiches for lunch for a couple of days. Last night was an open faced hot chicken sammich in gravy. Today, I'll throw the remains in a big pot and make chicken soup which will last for a bunch of meals. Most of it will get frozen for another time.

Same with Italian foods. If you make a tray of manicotti or lasagna, make a big tray, do it once and big. Take what you want for your meal, divide up and freeze the rest. Then it's a simple reheat for a good meal.

Tuna salad on seed toast for breakfast. It's delicious.
