Leftover pizza here before I started working on my homework.

grilled pork-chops, brown rice, green salad, homemade ice tea

...........excellent!

I had Pizza, Ziti and Alfredo sauce, Mashed AND scalloped potatoes, and a bread stick.


Yeah, the joys of a College Buffet.

Half an order of bowling alley nachos. I need to remember to eat before I leave the house on league night.

We had homemade (from scratch) chicken soup. With biscuits.

I had an expensive meal, very good too, at a downtown resturant Saturday night to remember my wedding. Tonight my bride made me a dinner to make me remember why I married her. Home made pinto beans from a bag of dried beans, soaked over night and cooked with a ham hock until you couldn't stir 'em without squshing 'em. Fresh turnip greens, no stalks, no turnips, just thrice washed fresh baby greens with a bit of ham. Home made buttermilk cornbread started on the stove in a black skillet and transfered to the oven to finish. Fresh tea sweetened while it was still hot. Hot apple pie for desert. She put that fancy chef to shame. Her momma taught her to cook like that back on the farm in Arkansas and I will be forever indebted to that woman.

In honor of my wifes birthday, I stopped by TC's Rib Crib in the Vons Shopping Center at the corner of Desert Inn and Durango. Got her a half rack of baby backs, a double order of collards and fried okra and some pulled pork and brisket for moi. She being a true daughter of the south(card carrying DAR, DoC, FFV, if you have to ask, you ain't southern) she needs her fix. Funny thing is that at 49 she is still a size 6 and eats like a horse. Knocked it back with a couple of IPA's on the back porch. Life is good!!!!

Don't tell that to my wifes relatives. They are rabid Civil War reenactors who celebrate the Jones/Smith family reunion by issuing forth a 21 Gun Salute at the family cemetary in Smithfield for those lost in the War of Northern Aggression. Every dead Yankee is a good one to them no matter where they are buried. She is a good daughter of the south from Tidewater Virginia that married a Yankee who had "people" who fought at Gettysburg. She is named for a relative, Kirby Blair (She is Blair Kirby), a lesser known but true Virginia General in said War of Northern Aggression. She wears the mantle of DoC with greater pride than her DAR. A true "professional" southerner who would rather be caught with out her hoop skirt than pronounce such a fine vegetable as okra "okree". I am basically amused by all of the southern shenanigans.

Salad and a cheese dog washed down with green tea.

I was up much of last night with my youngest, who had a croup attack.

Got home three hours late due to a potato head who decided kicking his wife was a good way communicate his displeasure, three 8th graders who decided that breaking into the Middle school on Haloween night would be "fun", and while I am working on those reports, a lady reported some overdue campers/mushroom pickers who subscribe to the SAR mantra: Support Search and Rescue: Get lost.

I got home to meatloaf, baked potato, salad, and fruit cobbler with ice cream!!

When the rest of the family is out and about and I am home alone, I usually end up firing up the gas grill. When it's just me, about $4 can buy a nice, thick pork chop, which is very tasty right off the grill. Usually not too tough to find a side dish in the cupboard or freezer. (And of course some applesauce!)

The trip to the grocery store to get the chop, and the time to grill it, isn't much longer than it would take to go to even a fast food place.

Cous-cous, grilled sausage, steamed carrots, steamed broccoli, fresh sliced pears, ice cold milk.

The kids and I will eat, then go to meet Momma at the polling place before I go to my big band rehearsal.

Well, I was busy eating and didn't see this thread, but we had tofu, of course. With peanut sauce, collards, rice, etc.

I have often been mystified by people who dislike tofu, but then I encountered it at a couple of economical Vietnamese restaurants and realized that, if that's what you know as tofu - low grade stuff fried in cottonseed oil, stored frozen for some time, shipped from who wants to know where and warmed up for stir fry - well, it's not going to be your favorite food.

Sunday I made moqueca de dendé, a nice seafood dish from NE Brazil with palm oil and coconut milk, but forgot to add lemon juice.

What's for supper tonight?

Some strawberry gelatin snack (Made through the labor provided by your's truly) and a couple of whole-grain brown cinnamon Pop-Tarts

I just saw Dalton as Bond, so I think you can understand.

Hey Grampaw, what's fer supper???
