This week's dinner items of note will include one particular night that will offer a huge surprise....... and even I don't know what it is yet. The reason is that there's a new Market Street location that is opening about three miles from my apartment right here in Lewisville, TX. They open up for the first time on Wednesday. The likelihood is I'll be going on Thursday to select my dinner from the cafeteria-style food stations there, with items ranging from traditional to gourmet. I will keep you posted later on whichever selection I pick, and that basically is today's surprise. Also ahead are salisbury steak, grilled chicken, pasta with Prego traditional tomato sauce, and possibly some chicken taquitos.
Hope everything goes okie-dokie at your dinner table all week long, and bon appetit!
Home at last; got a fair bit done on the income statements, and even resolved one of the balance sheet variances I found yesterday, so it was a good afternoon spent. Just as well, since I have class on both Monday and Wednesday nights this week, and won't be able to stay late at the office.
Spouse got the grocery run done while I was gone, bless him, and even remembered wiper fluid! Now I can see through my windshield - woo-hoo.
We borrowed carlitasway's suggestion of migas (from the frugal meals thread) for supper. Spouse found some nice 'maters at the store, amazingly enough, and he's dicing them up for pico de gallo to go on top. The kitty is sitting on the radiator immediately behind him, prrrrrouwing loudly in his ear, begging for bites of tomato - I have never known a cat who likes tomato, but we can't leave fresh tomatoes out anywhere he can find them, or he'll eat them all.
Getting ready for the deep freeze this week, as I know our Minnesota and Indiana neighbors are, too. I hear that we're due for high temps around zero on Tuesday through Friday, with overnight lows in the 20's below zero. Wind chills at night are forecast as low as 40 below. Brrrrrrrr...... It'll be a puffy-coat week for sure, and a comfort-food week too.
Be safe out there, all, and those of you in line for the Arctic blasts heading our way, stay warm!
Tonight was 4 way chili.....that is a bed of spaghetti, a couple ladles of chili, cheeses (in this case velveta and shredded chedder) and topped with chopped raw onions. It was really delicious! It was exactly what I was craving! We were both pretty happy with it.
DH is outside BBQ-ing rib steaks as I type, enjoying the 67 degrees and late afternoon/early evening sun. The twice baked potatoes are just about ready. I sauteed some fresh eggplant, added stewed tomatoes and garlic to it, and have that simmering til the steaks are done. With the addition of couple of slices of raw onion to have with the steaks, dinner will be perfect.

I had sooooooooo much fun this AM pushing ice & snow around I was all funned out. Settled for a simple dinner of sausage, peppers & onions and oven fries on the side.
Good Evening Everyone! As usual everyone's dinner sounded so good. We went out to get our spoiled brat her Gourmet Solid Gold dog food today and stopped at a quaint cafe for bloody mary's and brunch. h got his $9.99 worth and then some. I had a delicious cup of tomato, cream cheese basil soup and 1/2 smoked turkey and pepper jack sandwich on marble rye bread while we leisurely watched the giants/eagle game. Dinner tonight was lasagna that I had in the freezer from New Year's and some crusty bread too full for a salad, it all turned out well.
MWBW-your cat loves tomatoes, our brat jumped on the counter yesterday after I had made a cup of tea and was running around the house with a 1/2 of lemon. Gotta love these critters.

Heehee that's funny! I had a golden Labrador who loved cabbage and broccoli stalks - he'd wag non-stop till he got some of the cruchy bits
Report on cornish hens-have never made them before tonight and won't do again. Much marinating, much basting with separate sauce-not much results. Rice and veggies were great!
Hugs and nite all. Big hunk of beef for tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!
