What's for Dinner Tonight?

More today of tata Norma's chicken soup and Aimee's masa harina corn cakes.
That was lunch.
Then I made meatloaf.
Meatloaf schmeatloaf, boring old...
whatever Ralphie's brother called it in A Christmas Story.
Lol

My daughter in law went to Bob Evans and got us carry out food.
Country fried steak, mashed potatoes, country gravy, green beans with ham, biscuits and salad.
No, I couldn't eat it all.
 
I've got some ground beef in the skillet browning with green pepper and onion and it's soon destined to a big old pot with the rest of the ingredients for a big pot of Chili.
 
Mine was simple.

Some Italian sausage mixed with a bit of savory jellied onions stuffed into a roasted squash.
 
I roasted a chicken.
I shoved a whole onion up it's butt, then roasted it with more onions and carrots, rubbed with lemon pepper seasoning.
This was a big bird.
Basting uncovering , basting..
Delicious!

-- i'm not sure how i'm so teensy-- man, oh, man, have i eaten-- p'rogies (sauerkraut)-- a blessing-- leftovers, adult beverages beyond belief (my stepDad rocks), & pie, all kinds of food, yet i'm usually 100 lbs., then my pcp took that to 94/95 lbs, as my boots were on-- sigh-- they were winter ones~~

tonite, p'rogies~~ w/ butter/sour crème--
 
my Mom took me to a nearby diner-- i got milk, potato/brown gravy & half a grilled cheese (its other half, my Mom took to my Step-Dad, & a meatloaf dinner, too, 4 his guy-appetite); my Mom got pork & kinda gave her bread an ignore signal-- she'd better not be lo-carbing-- she's as teensy as me!!
 
dippy eggs..... if they're still to par (my eggs)-- dammit; no bread-- so, make that pabst & brie-- p'rogies ('kraut) (if i've got oomph to make 'em)---
don't judge; my neuropathy is not so well, so usually, special k is a treat--
especially when that foil on that milk lifts~~
 
I made maple syrup mustard glazed salmon, with a curiously delicious cabbage salad on the side, that has black eyed peas, green onions, olive oil and parsley.

I made a nice macaroni carrot leek and pepper salad with fresh cut carrots sliced and chicken legs basting in bbq sauce. It was delicious. I do most of the cooking since I'm home most days. I enjoy cooking.
 
my Mom brought me dinner; 1 is-- dammit, i hafta look & see--

potato/gravy-- brown gravy, & a grilled cheese-- my Mom rocks; unless she gripes @ me-- then i'll tout my Golden Girls items~~
 
Well it wasn't dinner but this morning I was in the mood for something different. So I was a considering and looked at the oatmeal and thought "why not". So I started out with milk and water and stirred in some coco until it smelled right and added a bit of sugar and salt and proceeded to cook as regular oatmeal. Anyway when it was ready it looked and smelled like no-bake cookies less a lot of sugar and it went down and tasted good. Will be preparing it this way again sometime...
