Let's see... Dinner was a half pint of snake bite, I forgot the chaser so I had a tiny hangover. breakfast was summer sausage and Mexican donitas chips and a minute made lemonade spiked with goodies powders. real breakfast is going to be a ham and egg croissant with iced coffee.
 
Snack tonight: Dolmas from Trader Joe's. These were pretty good. Rice stuffed in grape leaves; canned in olive oil and seasoning. You can eat them straight out of the can. I will definitely be buying more.

That looks just like a chinese dish I used to eat often. Usually as part of a dim sum. It was a rice roll with bits and pieces wrapped in a lotus leaf, delicious! Once I asked a buddy's chinese wife what the bits and pieces were, she said "you don't want to know". 😁 (she said that a lot, I took her at her word)

Exhausted the past week which means no cooking, just sandwiches. Once I did make enough hashbrowns to last a few days.

Tonight I fried up a porkchop, yummy.
 
Tonight is a chinese takeaway, by request of the birthday boy (man) in the house. I've a chocolate swiss roll made for cake. Have meatballs defrosting for tomorrow, going to do them in the slow cooker with my own sauce as a pasta bake- so little washing up. And if all goes to plan, Sunday will be homemade philly cheesesteaks, yum.

Well, it looks like 'pork carne adovada' tonight, but modified to suit my tastes and not take forever to cook, lol. I bought a pack of seasoned pork chunks on sale at Albertson's the other day, and it's time to cook 'em... I'll add stuff that looks tasty & compatible, then dump the mixture on some rice, or maybe some of that jalapeno cornbread (in a bowl). Sounds good, I think I'll log out and get started, lol... CHEERS!!! 🍺
 
I am making baked chicken, baked acorn squash with brown sugar and baked potatoes. Easy one pan meal. Acorn goes in for 30 minutes, put the taters and chicken in set for one hour..................dinner.
 
The pork carne adovada on buttered Thai Jasmine rice was excellent last night... so good that I had another bowl this morning for breakfast, lol. I even have another big bowl's worth in the fridge, but tonight I'm gonna mix it up and make a ginormous turkey sandwich with ALL the trimmings... oughta be pretty darned tasty, might go with Muenster Cheese instead of Baby Swiss this time, lol. I'm back to my movie for the night: 'HARLEY DAVIDSON AND THE MARLBORO MAN'---a motorcycle flick, lol. I'm more of a dirt bike & rice rocket man myself, but I like ALL motorcycles, aye? 😎
 
Was in emergency with hubby. He tried to cut his finger off unloading a wood splitter. Got home only to discover we had two guests coming. So I I ran to Dollar General and grabbed a box of chicken and chicken tenders. Thought I had a full bag of fries in the freezer. I didn't. So I used up the partial bags of fries and tots. Made salad and corn. Chocolate cream pie for dessert.

It wasn't what I had planned but it did fill us up and clear out a little space in the freezer.
