Capn Crunch. Just cause I can.

Cap'n Crunch = health food, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! :oops:

Trying to decide whether the house has cooled off enough to fire the oven and cook a frozen pizza or some frozen lasagna. Not exactly health food either, but what the heck, it's Friday night. ;)

Er, I THINK it's Friday night... damn, this is a sad reflection upon my current social life, lol. :rolleyes:

P.S. Once worked with a skipper whose nautical handle was Cap'n Crunch---he had a bad habit of ramming piers, lol. :confused:
 
I fixed steaks, broccoli florets, steamed rice (for brother and wife).

You can use canned beef for burritos or tacos. Another way to use canned beef with storage stuff....
put in a baking pan some canned meat, make some stove top stuffing and put that on the meat, pour a little gravy over it, make some instant mashed potatoes and put on top of it. Bake it at 350 for 20 minutes. Doesn't taste too "storage foodie"

That's a great idea! Make a bit of fresh garlic butter for the potatoes, couple herbs.

Oh, hey...that soup you make, Peanut. Brunswick. Use it for that.
We're having chicken sandwiches tonight with I don't know what yet. Time to figure it out.

DOH! It'd work great in Brunswick stew!

You folks got me thinking... I haven't made mayo in months. I found I don't use a lot of mayo in winter. In summer I eat a lot more sandwiches, always need mayo for those.

Tonight I made rice and had crappy frozen chinese food. When I replaced the freezer last week I had a few borderline items I didn't want to toss. I should have tossed tonight's dinner, heck, I can make better Mongolian beef.

It is really good! I roast the broccoli, it’s the only way my husband likes it, but you could blanch it quickly in steam or boiling water, or try it raw.

I am making your salad tonight!! Will blanch the broccoli, and may add a little grated cheese! Thanks again, you are awesome!!😃
 
I was going to grill a steak last night. But it was too cold and windy for me to want to go outside and use the Traeger. So I decided to cook it up inside on the stove in the cast iron skillet. Man, did that steak come out great! A beautifully seared outside crust with simple seasonings (just coarse Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper - both applied quite heavily). I got the skillet good and hot (535 degrees) before starting. Dropped the steak in and just let that cast iron do its magic.

Tonight, I don't know what we're having. We had a very late lunch after we did some yard work and took the results of our efforts over to the tree branch recycling place in our town. So I'm thinking maybe just a salad. Don't really need anything else - I'm still fairly full after that lunch...
 
Tonight, it's pork chops with applesauce, lol... thick chops on sale for half the price of steak or chicken, so a no-brainer. ;)

Fresh salad on the side, I'm about to go make that and then mack... afterward, La-La Land, as soon as I fall asleep while reading a good 'Will Tanner' Western by William W. Johnstone, aye? :)

Gotta love the Will Tanner series by this Johnstone author (with a little help from a younger relative, lol), I just checked out the entire series this morning with my new library card... beats listening to globalist-owned media TOOLS, lol. :eek:

Funny thing, when I lived on the coast I thought Westerns meant Louis L'Amour, Zane Grey, Max Brand, et al, but William W. Johnstone has ALL those PIKERS beat, hands down, lol. I learned that while living in the wilds of Arizona... :cool:
 
Didn't feel like cooking so I thought a grilled cheese and a salad sounded good. I knew I had a couple slices of gouda in the fridge. I did but it had grown a nice green fur coat. :rolleyes:

So I had a grilled american processed cheese substance but my salad was good.
 
I smoked a pork roast and Alexandra made homemade tortillas. Tacos for everyone!

Tonight my wife cooked up a half dozen eggs fresh from the backyard, topped them with some gouda cheese, and on the side had apple slices and kiwi slices.
I toasted some bread and ate my eggs as a sandwich.
You can immediately tell the difference between the mass produced eggs you buy in stores, and the kind that come from your own happy well fed hens.
