What's for dinner?

"Today is our 46th wedding anniversary and we are going out to the best seafood place on the Texas Gulf Coast for dinner with DD & DSIL."

Florence,

Lucky you!!! Happy Anniversary too.

Thank you, frugal-one.

We'll have Chinese stir fry with snow peas freshly picked today.

I just made a roast chicken with country gravy. I used herbs from the garden and local organic co op. Some of them I dried last season. (Spices are expensive!) I'm going to make biscuits and sauteed carrots to go with the chicken. The dogs are getting the giblets and broth...

Tonight was our "meat" night. DH smoked some sockeye on the grill to be served with yogurt cucumber sauce, new potatos and kale stir fried with red onions and sun dried tomatos.

Today was grilled steak for SO and chicken for me, plus grilled potatoes and zucchini from our CSA. Dessert of strawberries (again CSA) topped with dulce Di leche. Nice Pinot from our favorite dry creek valley winery. Everyone in the house (including the cats, who LOVE steak...) is happy and full right now.

Edited to add: extra zucchini grilled so that I can make a burrito for lunch tomorrow.

Tonight I will have lentils cooked with quinoa and amaranth (the latter two having been soaked overnight to make them more digestible--I started doing this for our dogs and now do it for me too), a piece of gluten-free bread (maybe toasted and with olive oil on it), half a baked yam and raw cilantro--all organic because the cilantro helps get rid of heavy metals if eaten with organic food but has the opposite effect if the food is not organic. I will drink water. DH and I usually eat different things, so I don't know what he will eat. Our parrot will eat with me unless she decides what I'm eating is too boring--she likes spicy stuff.

(awakenedsoul: pick a thread category and tell us all about your audition in Vegas! It sounds exotic and exciting!) (and congratulations! Florence.)

Having to get creative tonight. We had bacon with buckwheat pancakes for brunch, so no leftovers, so need to fix something. In the fridge is: 1/2 lb. bacon left from this morning; 1/2 and 1/3 each of a green and red pepper leftover from.....something this week; a bowl ('bout a cup and a half) of leftover spicy sausage-pasta skillet; and there's 1/2 c. or so of shredded cheese in the drawer. So: diced and cooked the bacon, saute'd the peppers along with some onion, am now cooking another cup of pasta, and intend to mix it all together with the cheese as glue.

I don't see why it won't work.....but we'll see.

I am scraping the bottom of the food barrel: turkey breast with fresh cranberries, cucumber and onion salad with homemade dressing, iced passion flower tea. I'll make a grocery run tomorrow.
