First time I've had WiFi in a couple of days, but it's been dicey & so have the hotels.
I'm 1/2-way there (through pouring rain the whole time, flash flooding & tornado warnings), so, eh, hotel food... got some fried deli chicken from a local market called Hy-vee. It was awful... tossed the coating & bones & more than I ate. I've got a couple of my least fave fruits for later... apples. But, they travel well, even when dropped & rolling around on the car floor for the day... try that with a grape.
I hear the grill calling today. Just waiting to answer the call are some chicken thighs and some asparagus wrapped in pancheta (ok we all know I can't spell) ham and maybe some mushrooms and bell peppers. To finish the meal off will be a small fruit salad.. I am doing I haven't done is probably 10 or more years: I am buying a small can of fruit for the salad.As we all know the fruit season is pretty well gone and I need one more kind of fruit: I can either drive all the way to Walmart for bananas for one more fruit or I can stop at the $ General after church and pick up a can of something. Stopping is more to my liking than fighting the crowds at WalMart on Sunday.
I will have an easy cooking day. I think I will just pull some chili out of the freezer and serve over spaghetti. I'll dice up some onions and grate some cheese for on top. I also have some leftover salad to go with it.
Tonight (or rather, this afternoon as I'm still on my insanely early schedule), slow-cooker garlic-lime chicken ...
Basically, put some bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs in the crock pot, add chicken broth & lime juice & garlic & thyme, turn the slow cooker on, add rice about 15-20 minutes before you want to eat ... that's it!
It was very good, and so easy, and lots of leftovers for the next couple of days. I love my slow cooker!
We have coleslaw to use up, so maybe we’ll have burgers. Lemon meringue pie.
I changed my mind. Pork tenderloin with teriyaki sauce and fried rice with mushrooms.
