These are cheese and is in a tomato based sauce, its delicious, lots of cheese on top too. The cheese filled torts are best in a tomato based sauce. I prefer the meat-filled torts (chicken, chicken-pork) in chicken broth soups. Like Russian pelmeni. Yum!

quiet night tonight. deck lights are plugged in, and citronella candle is lit. this ramen was from a FB ad, Vite Ramen. it's definitely more expensive than a 25c packet of dorm noodles, but it is actually nutritionally balanced. I added garlic and sesame oil for cooking, baby spinach, shredded chicken and a sliced scallion at the end. highly recommend. I had a Ramen bowl for supper! I found Spicy Duck Ramen at the Korean market. I doctored it up with shredded chicken, sesame oil, oyster sauce, sweet onion, garlic, broccoli, coriander, corn, a scrambled egg and some avocado. Try it with an egg next time...it's lovely. isn't it usually a soft boiled egg with ramen? I'm a picky PITA with eggs. I love dippy eggs, the runnier the yolk the better. or, scrambled or fully fried. but anything in between with the yolk partially cooked/solid and I turn unnatural shades of green. otherwise, your ramen bowl sounds solid, too. great minds think alike. 🙃

I haven't been able to shake the pasta craving from the other night, so that's what's for dinner tonight. I picked up some chicken breast tenderloins on sale, and a jar of alfredo sauce. I'll roast (it's bizarre when low 80s feels cool...) the broccoli from my last Misfits box and grape tomatoes that need using in the next couple days, and toss everything together with some curly pasta from the stash I moved here with. costs today: $2.31 - chicken - was dated today and had a $2 off sticker. $2.49 - jar of Bertolli alfredo

I have absolutely no idea. I don't have anything thawed out. I'll probably pull some fish out of the freezer. It doesn't take long to thaw.

Had a wedding today. Dinner was a taco bar. It was good, a bit messy but very tasty. That was a first for me out of the 100's of wedding receptions I've attended.

I have some veggies I need to use up, so tonight will be another dinner of roasted veggies. I think lunch might be a mini-burger with a baked potato and sour cream. I have to get all this stuff out of the freezers.

dinner might seriously be a grilled cheese with bacon and tomato tonight. I have cooked bacon bc I cooked half the package this morning. I have sandwich bread bc I expected to be eating PBJ for a couple days with the power outage. and there's always cheese in a house with dogs. lol.... this never happens!
oh, and salad greens with balsamic, for something healthyish 🙃

I picked up a nice looking piece of salmon at the grocery store this afternoon, about 2/3lb. I'm going to bake it off, and split with the pups. their portions will be unseasoned, mine will be chili seasoned. I'll have mine over a green salad.
$7 - salmon portion

I made stir fry again but with left over roast. H. said there was too much meat for one pound of veges so I doubled it.
Where I went WRONG. I made 3 cups of rice. Too much left over. From what I recall, reheating rice is not a good idea. Neither is storing it in the fridge and reheating. What a waste but I will eat it.

I made my favorite pasta dish, but I adjusted just a bit - still delicious.
It is cavatappi pasta. Toast some pine nuts, cook up some pancetta. Tonight I fried up some Brussel sprouts in the pancetta grease - but the regular recipe just has you throw asparagus into the pasta water 2 minutes before the pasta is done. Add some garlic, parmesan, the pasta and pine nuts. Dress with a vinegerette made of the juice of one lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper - shaken together in a jar (I have tried wisking - not the same) Yummy, yummy, yummy.

Anyone tossing their onions into the trash due to a salmonella outbreak? I keep reading not to buy onions due to salmonella.
What's a meal without onions.

The excess is in the freezer!

I have Vidalias from Georgia. The possibly contaminated ones are from California. I am clueless. How do you know they came from Georgia? The onions I have (red and yellow from Krogers) only have the numerical code for the checker to ring them up.

Mine came in a mesh bag with the company name and where they were from printed on it. The stuff I saw said if you can't tell throw them out. I don't want to get sick but it's getting old tossing stuff because it could be an issue.

The family trip was fun! Last night DH had leftover green chili nachos we split Sunday afternoon. $12 for 3 servings. I grazed on cottage cheese then popcorn.
Yesterday I put away last week's Sam's Club nonperishable items and conducted an informal inventory of the pantry and freezers. The surplus of certain canned items were taken into consideration when planning the next two weeks.
Taco Tuesday: Currently, there are 2 chicken breasts in the slow cooker with a can each of habanero Rotel and chopped green chilies. I'll serve this in flour tortillas w/ trimmings, and leftover green beans sauteed in bacon. The green chilies were purchased in a Sam's Club multi-pack, and the green beans were free from a neighbor's garden. Cost approx $8 for at least 4 servings. Need to use up some limes.
Wed: Slow cooker chicken curry which will use up 2 cans of chicken and a can of coconut milk bought during March's pandemic food shortage. Serve with fresh broccoli. Cost $6 for 4 servings. Thurs: Salmon bought on sale, shrimp, veggie. I'll make a point of using more limes cruising around the veggie bin. $10 for 2. Fri: Not sure yet. Supposed to hang outside with family, but the stench and health hazard from multiple wildfires might continue to keep me indoors.

debating pasta options, trying to use up what's here so I don't have to move it. do I want spaghetti carbonara or some curly pasta with bruschetta? I'm going to thaw out some rotisserie chicken for added protein with either. ETA: decision was made for me, the basil I thought was still good very much wasn't. so, carbonara. I'll be using up the ends of: -box of spaghetti (or linguine? I can't remember what I have) -fresh grated grana padana cheese -one serving of shredded rotisserie chicken -1/2 lb of bacon - it won't all be used in the pasta, but I will cook it all. I want the extra bacon fat for tasty carbonara.

My next door neighbor and I have ordered a pizza and small caesar salad for dinner. Then after that she's determined I am going to see a movie she just loves. Tomorrow she leaves for Oklahoma to see her SO for a few weeks. I wish I had one of those to play with.
