We just finished eating split pea and ham soup. Foggy and chilly so tasted pretty good

Baby back ribs in the crockpot all day, with barbeque sauce. Green beans, steak fries, and sourdough bread

New Year’s Day dinner, I sous vide two Kansas City strip steaks, seared in butter with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and rosemary. Tossed salad with some black eyed peas in it, baked pototoes with butter and cheddar cheese. It was very good.

Spaghetti. Husband had leftover roast and salad because he's doing the meat and veg thing.
Deboned and ground up six lbs worth of chicken legs and thighs so it was chicken patties with honey mustard and havarti cheese and corn on the cob from the freezer, tonight.
I wasn't very hungry tonight after we went out for a large late brunch (2:00pm!) at a local restaurant. The wife was a little hungry, so I made her some spaghetti. I just made a smoothie for myself. My first attempt at a smoothie in my new Vitamix. It came out wonderfully! Really, really good! And a perfectly smooth creamy texture. Nice and cold, texture like soft serve ice cream - eat from a cup with a spoon. The perfect sweetness for my tastes.
1/2 cup Thai unsweetened coconut milk (room temp), 3/4 cup Califia Farms Toasted Coconut almond milk (refrigerated), 2 bananas broken into pieces (room temp), 2 cups of frozen fruit (a organic mixture of strawberries, pineapple, mango, and peaches). No added sweeteners. This recipe made enough smoothie for two people. I just made it up, guessing at amounts based on other recipes I have seen (but measuring everything, so I'd have a baseline for my records so I could evaluate results). I do have to say, I think I nailed it on this first attempt. I couldn't be happier with the results. With this taste/texture baseline, I'll start adding things like greens, nuts and seeds to give it more nutritional value.
To clean up, I rinsed the pitcher of the smoothie residue, filled it half full with warm water, added a few drops of dish soap, and returned it to the Vitamix base and pushed the "clean cycle" icon on the touch screen. It washed itself, speeding up and slowing down on some automatic cycle that is controlled by it's brains - all's I had to do was rinse out the soap suds at the end.

We had chicken fried steak with pan gravy, pan fried potatoes and onions, and some homemade canned coleslaw. Pretty sure some cardiologist out there is having a heart attack for us.
But what a way to go...
Something with chicken tonight here also, haven't decided what yet

Leftover New Year's meal. It's all in the freezer now in meal sized packages.
Tonight was leftover grilled chicken thighs. I steamed some broccoli and cut up and cooked some golden potatoes in the air fryer. I love things out of that air fryer. I grab a large bowl and put a very minor amount of olive oil on the cubed potatoes, a little Kosher salt, and an Italian Seasoning mix made by Spice Island (I like their Italian mix the best). Then I get myself all messy stirring everything around in the bowl for even coverage with my hands. Have a paper towel handy for cleanup afterwards! Even a small amount of olive oil will grease you up pretty good. Then I air fry the potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes at 375.
Burgers and potato salad.
It’s was a lazy morning around here, you can even tell by my ugly pan of biscuits. We had fried deer loin, ugly biscuits and gravy.

We're having pulled pork on a bun, sweet potato fries, and fresh green beans
Barbq from left over pork tenderloin and coleslaw
Catfish and a salad, peach pie in reserve for a late night snack.
Alexandra made roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy.
We had sandwiches for a late lunch, just had crackers, cheese, and summer sausage tonight!
Fish soup
Virgin Island Sandwiches tonight. They have nothing to do with the Virgin Islands, other than that was where we were when we first had them at a restaurant named Le Escargo (no doubt I'm spelling that wrong!)
Sourdough bread slice, topped with a smoked ham slice about as thick as two quarters maybe, then tomato slices, then mozzarella cheese. Topped with a little kosher salt and pepper, then baked/broiled until the top is all melted and turning bubbly and browned.

Just struck me as humorous.
Thank you.
