Angel hair pasta with a white clam sauce and a piece of garlic bread. One of my favorite meals. DH had carryout pizza. One of his favorite meals lol

Nance - vongole is one of my favorite meals too.
Dinner last night was a sliced chicken breast sandwich on toasted Rosemary Olive Oil bread.

Last night was spinach and cheese ravs with turkey meatballs and marinara for DH, I had some saltines and chicken noodle soup later - tummy not feeling great. Probably the hot dog and beer from Friday night, lol! Tonight was pork tenderloin with mustard sauce, steamed broccoli with lemon olive oil, lemon pepper, and Parmesan cheese, and some new potatoes sautéed with small pieces of different color peppers

Today was a large salad w/homemade blue cheese dressing, three (yes 3) ears of Olathe corn on the cob and a bowl of macaroni with butter.

Saturday, I had toast & an egg for brunch; for dinner, our friends BBQed--and I had a cheeseburger and a bunless bratwurst.
Today I vastly overslept. Lunch (which took 2 hrs to make as I had to plant-water, cat-wrangle and organize stuff while trying to chop veggies & cook one-handed) was corned-beef hash with chopped red & green pepper, red onion & scallions, with a fried egg on top. Made an iced almond-milk cold-froth latte too.
Ordered out from Tiffin for dinner: Indian appetizers (samosas, pakoras, cauliflower, seekh kebab, roti & poori), mixed grill (more seekh kebab, tandoori chicken, lamb & shrimp), palak paneer, and Punjab veggies (freebie, along with extra pakoras) over basmati rice. Nice to be able to refrigerate leftovers again! (Fri. night's ribeye remains are in the freezer).

Last night was warmed up leftover pasta in sauce from Friday night's dinner with a delicious salad of tomato and cucumber and beets (all from a farmers' market) with a homemade blue cheese vinaigrette.
Saturday night was green beans and small potatoes, also from the farmers' market, a salad of tomatoes and cucumber with a similar blue cheese vinaigrette, and flattened chicken fillets breaded with panko and browned in olive oil. I form three flattened chicken fillets from a boneless skinless chicken breast half using a method I saw on ATK or Cook's Country. Cut about one third of the chicken breast half from the pointed end. The slice through the middle of the remaining part. Works much better than slicing through the middle of the whole breast half. Flatten each piece in plastic wrap.
Tonight will be dinner out in Bemidji after my WW meeting. I'm not expecting weight loss at the weigh in but hoping for maintaining last week's good numbers on the scale. We will probably check out a barbecue place tonight.

Were spending a few days at the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. It's beautiful and better yet, no cell service.
We are doing a grocery store trip in Montrose, CO.

So Sandy, did I miss it? New fridge or repair?
Sous vide thick pork chops with broccoli and cornbread dressing.

Nancy, I bought some thick pork chops to Sous vide next week (they are currently frozen). What did you do with them after sv’d? Brown on grill? Skillet? Something else?
Thanks!!

DGirl, the last time I put them on the grill, this time I browned them in a cast iron skillet with butter, then made a pan sauce. Very tasty!

Nancy, thank you

Eric - I love Gunnison but it can be a bit dry. Has there been any water this year? My DH spend some growing up years by Salida so we usually camped in the San Isabel Forest.
Late lunch with a neighbor at Laurenzo's House of Prime Rib. I try to get there once or twice a year since nothing can touch the quality of the Prime Rib meat in their French Dip sandwiches. We each had a lunch special, so got soup first. It was a passable Boston Clam Chowder but could have used more heavy cream. Their bread is to die for. And then the full size French Dip - 4-5" tall and two halves that totaled 10" long. And the most delicious french fries in town. I've been there before so I ate the soup, some bread & butter, all my fries & two bites of sandwich. (Fries don't keep well.) I am still stuffed beyond moving and have almost the entire French Dip in my fridge with two big cartons of drippings. Yum.

Six-buck-burger night at Cellars. Had mine with provolone, Bob had cheddar, and we shared green beans & fries.

Eric, dh and I stayed a couple of days in a really nice rv park in Gunnison and visited the Black Canyon. A good memory.
Cornbread dressing. Yum. More yums as I read Minus's post about prime rib sandwiches. My attention would have been more on the sandwich than the fries.
My brain just can't grasp a tender moist thick pork chop. I guess because I'm programmed to equate "juicy meat" with "some fat content."
Last night's post WW meeting dinner was at CK Dudley's, Beer and BBQ, which was crowded on a Monday night. The dining room was full so we ate in the large bar, which has a very pleasant atmosphere. To my astonishment, the menu was EXACTLY the same as the menu at Iron Horse in Nevis. Sure enough, same owner.
I had the brisket, smoked in house, house salad and baked beans. There are three barbecue sauces, Sweet, Tangy, and Mango Spicy. I tried the last two and preferred the spicy. We brought home enough brisket for a couple of sandwiches. We both enjoyed the meal.
Tonight will probably be fish.

Carole - speaking of fat content - oh how I miss those pork roasts covered in thick fat. Impossible to find at a regular grocery store. I guess I'll need to look for a butcher.

Brunch was a fried egg, a piece of whole wheat roti, bacon, and Fri. night's leftover kale salad. Dinner tonight will be leftover palak paneer and Jodphur veggie stew over basmati rice, a tandoori chicken thigh, a couple of onion mini-pakoras and maybe a Caprese to use up a too-ripe tomato (store-bought heirloom). Been noshing on the homegrown baby Brandywine cherry tomatoes like they were candy. Dessert will be an apricot-mango raita (using Greek yogurt, now that I have some in the fridge).

We are now in Leadville, CO at over 10,000 feet elevation. Dinner was cheeseburgers and locally grown corn on the cob. I tried posting a picture, but the cell phone data connection is too slow..I gave up after 5 minutes....

Eric - are you on back roads w/4 wheel drive? So many great forest service roads up there.
0 -
No. We're staying on paved and decent dirt roads. We have a new(er) Jeep Cherokee towing a 20 year old tent trailer.
The 1950 CJ3A is in the garage at home...unfortunately...

Minus, the Boston butt pork roast is a good fatty cut of pork, great for roasting. Very tender and flavorful. Much of the fat melts away into the gravy. Once the gravy is refrigerated you can remove the hardened fat. Probably too large a roast for one person, though.
I bought two pretty eggplants at the farmers' market in Detroit Lakes last Saturday. Today I plan to use them in a layered eggplant dish, my usual preparation that dh and I both like very much. Only problem is I don't have a throwaway foil pan the right size. May have to use two or three little loaf pans.
Last night I breaded and pan fried two walleye fillets, cut into pieces. The breading was Louisiana fish fry spiced up with cayenne pepper. The fish was really delicious, no fishy taste whatever. One side was warmed up fresh green beans and little hunks of potato. Another side was a slaw with bag cabbage, cucumber and jicama. The jicama had sat in a basket too long and had gotten a bit pithy. DH made his usual tartar sauce with mayo, dill relish and horse radish sauce.

Decided on making the frozen lasagna and garlic bread for dinner

Tonight will be Salsa Chicken cooked in the OutdoorGrill/Oven. Looking forward to the taste and the ease of making this dish.

Dinner was wild caught Sockeye salmon poached in white wine with dill. Served with Trader Joe's "Melodious Blend". What a great frozen veggie - green Garbanzo beans, red & green lentils with a touch of tomatoes & olive oil and a touch of sea salt.
We lost power for 20 hours last weekend so I will be cooking things from the freezer the rest of the week instead of going to the grocery store. Dinner last night was Hatch Green Chili scones, frozen from the Central Market bakery last year. It's Hatch week again. I need to eat up what's still frozen so I can buy some fresh.

Tonight is seared chicken breast, penne Alfredo, oven roasted veggies (red onion, zucchini, squash, asparagus) and a North Atlantic lobster tail as a special treat for my 1/2 birthday this weekend. Yes, I celebrate 1/2 birthdays and will be 43 1/2 this Sunday.

Absolutely love the idea of 1/2 birthdays. Many returns of the day Illimae. How is your retirement going? I for sure want to get together for lunch before you move to West Texas.
