but that's OK, I love lookin' !

I ended up frying my fish on the side burner outside so I don't have stinky "fish house" all night, some fried potatoes, steamed asparagus that was on sale (less than $1.50/lb) and a Greek salad (sans feta on mine - put it on his).

Barb, that eally came out so nice.
Love the color of the bacon how it enhances the loaf.

I'll bet you will get some nice sandwiches out of that!
Ummmm ....Sammich on seeded rye, and mustard.

OHhhhh! They look great!
We love pork steaks too! They are like Beth said, automatic fat disappearing steaks, and then the crisp edges. Easy as leftovers too! I never get sick of them, but Tina limits me from eating stuff like that too much.
I like to dip my bread into the delicious melted fat, and I even like to eat some of the fat. Tina hollers at me! I don't holler at her when she eats her pigs feet!

I remember my dad cooking hot Italian sausage in the cast iron fry pan. We would eat the sausage on our own dish, or in bread rolls, but (this is so crude) Dad would set the fry pan with the grease, all flavored with the hot juices, in the middle of the table. We would dip the edges of or bread or sandwiches in the grease, and eat it. We would then look for the last remnants of grease, and wipe it with our bread.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha ....That frying pan was spotless when we were done.
Mom would joke, and say,"Oh Good....you boys cleaned the pan so good, I don't even have to wash it!" LOL... ( Only Kidding of course )

It was really warm today compared to what it was. It was 32º and I was outside without a jacket. Tina was screaming out the window at me! hahahahahaha
Tina in the meantime, made a nice Tri-color tortellini soup with spinach and mushrooms and carrots. It was awesome. I never saw three different color tortellini before. Pretty neat. .
 
My Gosh! I ate so much soup, it is backing up.
I guess a sandwich as a snack around 10:30 or so will take care of that.

I have never seen tri colored tortellini either. What brand is it?

Well, no shrimp at MY house....((sigh))

We had a burger from the grill, a bunch of Tony Packo's Sweet/Hot pickles (YUM!), Penzey spiced green beans and some really tasty potato salad.  I've started adding some whole grain mustard to my dressing and it adds that "little something" that makes it really tasty.
