(US) Election Night Eats & Drinks

I am on a news blackout until tomorrow but I can report that the kasha was excellent and I had two cocktails before my self-imposed alcohol deadline of 7 PM. THC gummies await me at bedtime, and I hope to wake up to good news.

Haagen-Dasz mint chip is excellent. I could eat a gallon of this tonight. Alas, I only have 3/4 pint.

Fatteh and fried cheese rolls - salad not pictured.

Vacuumed house, washed floors and three loads of laundry, and have set phone to “do not disturb” - desperately in need of chocolate.

My favorite so called casserole. Boiled white potatoes cut into large pieces. 5 pieces of cut up bacon into large pieces, then fried lightly. Whole onion cut into large pieces. Lightly sautéed… Add all to casserole dish with some cut up cabbage. And 1 whole Italian sausage or whatever you like . Add olive oil . . Mix with your favorite seasoning . Cover with foil and into the oven at 400 degrees for 1 hour .
I watching Jaques Pepin on you tube . Being careful not to watch any news . Yes there is wine.
After submitting my election ballot
I look forward to the little sticker . I Voted .

Pan-roasted the chicken and ate it with mashed potatoes. Baked a small loaf of bread for more carbs.

Marinated the beef for masala pot roast before I did that, and it’s in the pressure cooker now, because it will taste better tomorrow. I’ll do the potatoes tomorrow, in the gravy.

Half the double dark chocolate gelato is gone because I turned on election coverage. They are now regurgitating news so I’ll switch away,

No alcohol. Yet.

Tonight’s dinner was Breaded Garlic Chicken Breasts. This is a Jaime Oliver recipe. Since he is British, the chicken has no party affiliation. (LOL)

This is exactly what I wanted – but didn’t have. Instead: leftover pot roast and mac n cheese.

Ha ha, I did a major clean yesterday!

The bottle of rose all but gone (and I’ve been drinking it, while LLD has a bottle of cab), and a bag of Doritos has been decimated. Cold comfort.

This was always going to go till Wed / Thurs.

It’s a spectacular study in human psychology that people will repeatedly act contrary to their own interest.

Going to bed soon :crossed_fingers:t3: courtesy redeye lack of sleep acting against stress without external intervention. Tomorrow I may need assistance.

Yes, I expected it to go on for days, in one form or another.

And you are absolutely right. Those who can afford the seeming result the least are those opting for it.

Get a good sleep. Chocolate tomorrow.
