May, 2022 ~ ~ Spring has Sprung! What's cooking?

I bought some lamb kabobs in an of all things, Italian market. Package said "cook from frozen". Then I looked at it, and there are no spices etc. on them, so I have defrosted them and I think I'll spice them up and do them in my grill pan. Greek salad to go with, of course, but not sure yet whether I'll do some potatoes or rice. Picture later, I think.

From Lore:

"Dinner Tonight. The tiniest little pieces of lamb on skewers that I’ve ever seen, but I spiced them up and did them in my old grill pan. Delish! And oven roasted fingerling potatoes, Greek village salad."

It was beef soup Tina made; with little tiny meatballs. Dessert was the other half of cheese Danish I had left over from yesterday.

OH wow! Guess we really need to listen to our doctors. I hope she does now.

I didn't feel like cooking today. Came home from my shift at the thrift store, had a whole bunch of cheeses and crackers, so not in any mood to cook dinner. About an hour ago I started to feel really hungry........... So, peanut butter to the rescue. Peanut butter sandwich hit the spot.

From Lore:


"Dinner Tonight. Son Danny called and asked of I wanted to go out for lunch with him and Lisa, and Lisa’s dad. I had had a big breakfast, so Danny and I shared three appetizers. Chicken wings, onion rings and Cajun shrimp. Hate to admit it, but everything deep fried just seems to taste better.

So, I made a salad for supper. I’ve been trying to include beets in my diet, basically because they look great on a plate! Roasted a golden and a red beet and some radishes. Radishes were a big disappointment, lost all flavour. Beets were so-so made a salad with romaine, the beets, radishes, sweet onion and feta. Balsamic/oil dressing."

Thanks. A lot of foods, I find are really quite bland, so they just accept whatever you add to them, so that’s my idea of trying the bents repeatedly. But, I think I’ve almost reached the end of my trials. Lol

I made chicken wings tonight but instead of tossing them in a glaze, I served it with four dipping glazes on the side.

From Lore:


"Dinner Tonight. I have perfected the “turn the oven on on a delay start”. Yeay! Monday afternoon shift at the thrift shop, home about 5:30. It smelled so good when I opened the door. Three pieces of chicken thigh and a large potato! All I had to do was put them on a plate, added a cream cheese filled jalapeño and two stuffed pimientos. And, pour a glass of wine.

Yumm, another shift tomorrow, I’ll need to become creative."

Cooked some ribs in the smoker today. Charlie had a couple friends over and invited them for dinner. This is what was left by the time I knew they were already helping themselves.
