Just finished making gumbo. Chicken,smoked sausage, crawfish, shrimp,okra, onions and tomatoes. I know traditional gumbo doesn't have tomatoes but I am in Texas not Louisiana.

We have to go into the bigger town in a bit to drop off the extra truck at the train station for when son and gf get in at O dark thirty, so we'll pick up barbeque to bring home from the good place: Hog Wild. They are great.
Meatballs, Mac and cheese
Mini hoagie and hash brown/cheese jalapeno bars.
We have the same birthday!Nothing... I am having nothing for dinner. It's my birthday today and I got absolutely mobbed with requests to go eat. I cannot eat 5 lunches in a day... one lunch and then ice cream later was the very best I could do and I still feel like I ate too much.Please no more food.
Chicken breast pizza with peppers and onions on Lavash flatbread with low fat cheese. As of this morning I’ve lost 17 lbs. I would be happy if I can loose another 17 but with Christmas and a vacation coming up it could take a little longer than I was planning.
Tonight dinner was :
Boiled cut pieces of carrots and butter sprinkled with a bit of steak spices
Pieces of chicken with honey
Sliced potatoes fried in olive oil with a bit of sea salt
Then a very warm Chai black tea and honey

It will happen!!
Nacho dip in the mini crockpot, On the Border chips!! Yummy
I had a ribeye I bought several days ago which needed to be cooked. But the wife didn't want steaks. So I made her a chicken strip salad (air fryer for the chicken) and snarfed down the ribeye and corn myself.
I didn't want to be doing two separate major areas for cooking - one inside and one outside (on the grill) - so I cooked my steak inside in a cast iron skillet. It browned and seared up just fine. The taste was not quite as good as when cooked on a wood pellet grill, but not bad. But greasy?! Man, that was almost as bad as bacon splattering all over the cooktop. And I even used a lid on my skillet. A bit of smoke too. Really, more than "a bit". But that's what stovetop overhead fans are for. I purposely got the skillet up to 450° before throwing the steak in so I could get a good sear (also salted and dried the steak well before throwing it in so it would sear and not steam). I guess 450° must be above the smoke point for ribeye steak fat. Live and learn. I almost exclusively use avocado oil for cooking (not flavoring, since avocado oil has no taste) and that oil has such a high smoke point that heating things to 450° wouldn't raise an eyebrow.
