Last night was salmon in a thyme, dill, salt and pepper rub. Tonight was the left overs for me. Sharon and DD spent a girls' day out at a spring training baseball game.

Sunday night at Eddie V's was 2 filet sliders appetizers and a a couple servings out of a bowl of crab fried rice. Delicious. My friend had the sliders & Lobster Bisque. Tonight was the last of the jump-ups - served with original Hawaiian rolls. Tomorrow will be leftover crab fried rice. And maybe time to get back to salads?

Last night was leftover dim sum and jap chae; tonight will be leftover lo mein and kung pao chicken.

Tonight will be leftover veggie soup and fresh fruit. Simple meal, DH has a dinner meeting and the dogs don't make good dinner companions!😁

beaver - I went to college not far from Paso Robles, that area is definitely now an up and coming wine region. Will be passing through in May on the way from SoCal to Napa, might have to check out Cass!
Dinner for the last few evenings has been uninspired - some leftovers refashioned, salads, etc. Tonight will be chipotle gouda cheeseburgers on sourdough rolls with broccoli salad. It has been interesting watching DD figure out what to eat on her Keto diet - of course, she has an app because she is a millennial. We had an interesting convo about the soup I made, an old recipe that happens to be Keto - I explained that we could add up all of the nutritional info in the components and then measure the entire volume of the soup and divide those numbers into serving sizes. She said "but we can make the serving size any amount we want" at which point I smacked my head...while math was never her strong suit, come on man...

SpecialK, Cal Poly SLO? We lived in Nipomo. Cass is one of the "Backroads Wineries" and they have a great kitchen too. Hope you get a chance to check them out!

We had blueberry pancakes and bacon tonight

The kung pao was pretty mild--but perhaps that's because I didn't eat any of the whole chiles in it. Guess I'm just too...wait for it...chicken.

Sandy, me too! Love the flavor of kung pao but not the chiles directly. Once we were served kung pao chicken with the chilies chopped in tiny bits--virtually inedible!

beaver - yup - Political Science major, class of '79, lol! - It cracks me up because we used to go for jug wine (BYOJ) at Edna, and now it's legit. Cal Poly has a viticulture major and there is so much more wine growing area there now, which makes sense since it is an ag and tech school, right? I attended doing neither - just loved it there, grew up spending time in Cambria with a friend whose parents were schoolteachers in Los Angeles but spent the summers working at Hearst Castle. I lived there from 1975 to 1980, graduated but stayed and worked at French Hospital for a year. Looking forward to my visit!

Epic date night dinner with DH at Taste of Texas. DH had the rib eye with Brussels sprouts and I had the tenderloin medallions with asparagus and scalloped potatoes. We shared stuffed mushrooms, baked Brie, a crab cake, quail skewers and apple dumplings with cinnamon ice cream. Two boxes of leftover came home for later.

I cut four whole potatoes into round pieces that were "almost see through" thickness, sprayed some olive oil on them, tossed them in garlic salt and black pepper and cooked them in the air fryer to "almost crispy". The potatoes and a bit of catsup was our whole dinner.
Also, today, while Sharon was receiving a banjo lesson, I made some orange marmalade. Instead of the usual sour/bitter oranges used in marmalade (available off of trees near my MIL's house), I use the regular "sweet" oranges off of my tree. I've got 14 1/2 pint jars . DD and her roommates love the stuff, so a jar lasts only a few days.

SpecialK, love the adjective "uninspired" for meals. It applies to our diet in general! Last night I even baked chicken thighs with Campbell's Golden Mushroom soup. And it tasted good with mashed potatoes made with butter and cream cheese.
Tonight will probably be the leftovers from last night with the addition of a romaine salad.

Bob is going to Wildfire tonight for a drug company lecture on triglycerides; he'll likely bring home leftover filet mignon. Thinking of asking him to buy a ribeye for me, as I find filet boring and flavorless andI'm getting pretty tired of mediocre leftover Chinese food. On my way home from the orthodontist this morning I picked up some yeast-dough poppy seed hamantaschen. Yummy

Dinner last night was eggplant layered dish (hot dish/casserole) out of the freezer. Side was a large salad with romaine, tomato, avocado, blue cheese and kalamata olives dressed with EVOO and white balsamic. Easy and satisfying.
Dinner tonight? Maybe a rice and pork dish with pork tenderloin and brown rice.
The golf courses were slowly drying out. Then another deluge this morning around 7 am. The wettest winter of my memory. Still more tolerable than the mountain of snow my bc friend in ND reports in Facebook pictures. Collapsed roofs are a big problem. Weather is definitely a big news item.

Last night I returned to my favorite salmon, sauteed veggies, and side of steamed broccoli before the Cs’ game, but thought I’d share Wednesday’s meal. We had a “go to” prepared selection we pick up at Trader’s.....Greek Chicken with Orzo. Here it is with my side salad.
Tonight I’ll be freezer shopping for our dinner selection so I can make room for freezing cookie dough. I’m heavily into preparing for the “book ‘n cookie” dessert table for the April 6th “baby party”. Since I can’t freeze the pizzelle dough, I’ll be using it and making tons of those this weekend. They keep well....if hidden! Writing this and getting pizzelle iron out in lieu of making my way to gym.....not good. Maybe later.....;)
Illimae, enjoyedall your “Taste of Texas” pix.

Yum. Looks very appetizing, Lacey. Makes me wish we had a Trader's.

Homemade Chicken Parm and a salad

last night was paella with lots of veggies and some chicken and shrimp. Tonight we are at our son's and it will probably be their usual pizza and movies Friday night.

Splurged on two smallish lobster tails yesterday - on sale for $4.97. I'll broil them shortly
I met my nephew, his wife & 3 year old for lunch yesterday. We went to Govinda's - the vegetarian restaurant at the Hare Krishna temple. The food was delicious as always, but I can never remember most of the names. I know there was Saag Paneer (spinach), Dal Masoor (spicy red lentil dish), naan, and vegan Kheer (a rice pudding that was mostly liquid(coconut milk?) with some rice & golden raisins & pistachios in the bottom). We had the first day of sun in awhile and the grounds are beautifully landscaped. The 3 year old had a great time on their inventive, challenging playground.

Count me among the uninspired for dinner. I took out two small ribeyes which we'll have with a baked potato (sweet for me) and a small salad. I did make some hot cross buns, which are baking and smell tantalizing!

I made sourdough dinner rolls for DD.

Good news: we landed in NOLA and after a 45-minute delay (which we were told would be 2 hours, in order to get us to eat an early lunch), we got a room with a river view. Bad news: The bathroom fan won't turn off even when the light is off. Roars like Niagara Falls—audible through the closed door. Maintenance says they can't fix it and the front desk says we can't be moved because the hotel has been booked full for months due to the American College of Cardiology convention. Ditto most good seafood restaurants. Wanted Jacques Imo’s, but they don’t take reservations and we’d be waiting for a couple of hours—likely in the rain. GW Fins, our first choice, was full till 11pm...and Bob’s first session at the ACC is at 8am. So I was able to get a 9pm at Redfish (in the Quarter), which I’ve been meaning to try.
Lunch was fried oysters, collard greens and sweet potato fries. Noshing on half a poppy seed hamantaschen I brought from home

You could tell them the fan smells like it's overheating.... (evil grin).

mommy - yay for chicken Parm - one of my faves!
auntie - yay for Hot Cross Buns - childhood in a baked good
Dinner tonight was taco salad with roasted chicken breast, topped with avocado, yum!

DH made chicken curry with rice tonight, it was tasty and perfect for the 33 degree temps up on the mountain this weekend.
Unfortunately, our heater died after 5 minutes but I have warm clothes and plenty of blankets. Still, it’s very cold, so it’s hot tea and early to bed.

Yucky rainy weather—ever notice that the coldest place on earth always seems to be anywhere it’s in the 40s & raining when you’d expect it to be warm? Vegas last month, NOLA now. In the 70s & 80s the day before we arrived from Chicago. Missed the parade—took too long to walk to the closest part of the route, and the parade was too short & moved too fast for us to catch up.Dinner was at Redfish Grill (part of the Brennan empire) and it was excellent. Bob had redfish bisque. We shared fried green tomatoes topped with sautéed crawfish tails, (Dunno why the pic posted atop the text, but iPads are quirky, even with keyboards).Next came Bob’s crab & crawfish Mac & cheese with a blackened redfish filet on top.
I had grilled redfish with satsuma-ponzu sauce, over cherry tomatoes, broccoli florets and baby Brussels sprouts:
Sorry the food was partially eaten, but when courses arrive, my first instinct is to dig in, not snap a photo. (Can you tell I don’t do Instagram)? Anyway, waaay too much food. Luckily, we have a fridge in the room (will request a microwave); breakfast in bed tomorrow should prove to be stellar/

Sorry about the weather, Sandy. At least you're eating well.
Last night's pork and brown rice (sorta stir fried) was good. Maybe my best use of pork tenderloin. The pork pieces were juicy and tasty. I made an altered version of my sweet/spicy sauce (less sweet, less spicy!) and added some of it. Also added some green peas I had thawed. The dish would have been good with some additional ingredients like ginger, green onions, mushrooms, but I was too lazy to venture out to the grocery store or supermarket.
I turned most of a loaf of stale French bread into bread crumbs for some future use.
Tonight will be my free birthday dinner at our club. I made reservations at Morgan's, the more formal of the two restaurants. Another couple who are also members will join us. So no cooking tonight!
SpecialK, taco salad is what I usually order at a Mexican restaurant. I could make it at home minus the crispy bowl. Ta Dah!
Nance, I'm afraid I would just eat hot rolls and butter and forget about the rest of dinner if I made fresh-baked rolls.

I never in my life ate a hot cross bun until I moved to st. Louis and found them in a local grocery store. I became a big fan (because it's bread after all) and eventually started making them, but not just on good Friday, although I usually only make them during lent.
Friends coming tomorrow for our annual corned beef dinner. (DH of course will have shepherds pie). I'll also make rye soda bread and a strawberry and cream Swiss cake roll for dessert.
But for tonight, it's baked canneloni - the last of the supply from the Italian market :-(. Sides will be a wedge salad and possibly some garlic bread.
