I seem to remember my parents talking about them.

You were a Big Boy Prince! (I know the Salad King Prince)

In Kansas not quite 50 years ago my college Gaming group would get done 'bout midnight & head to JB Big Boy’s and drink the bottomless 25 cent cup of coffee. I think I had 12 cups one night…yeah I was vibrating badly when we left. That was atypical, usually I had 3 or 4.
and to keep this on topic-- Dinner was a Digiorno frozen pepperoni pizza that my wife likes. They’re pretty good for a no-effort dinner.

Hardly a prince, I was scrubbing pots and pans, working the griddle and moping floors, more like a Big Boy peasant

To use up the opened tub of ricotta, I tried this recipe for Lemon-Ricotta Pasta:
We liked this a lot, although I used the juice from a whole lemon (probably ~3 tablespoons worth) rather than just 1 tablespoon. I chopped up about 1/2 c. of fresh basil, about half of which was also stirred into the ricotta and lemon mixture. And we went to town on the freshly ground black pepper. It does come together as quick as advertised, quicker really since I used some fresh (store bought) fettuccine. This recipe will benefit from a good quality ricotta and parm.

Made a big pot of kale/chorizo/potato and bean soup, letting it chill out in the fridge overnight for maximum mingling. Tonight’s dinner was spicy CALLIPO tuna and tomato on uber fresh and delicious sesame baguette with a side of BBQ chips.

A casa lingua favorite, the NYT lemony shrimp & white bean stew seemed like a good way to use up an open bag of frozen shrimp & lotsa frozen shells to flavor the fish stock / wine mix. We had a can of Great Northern beans in the house, and I picked up a package of baby spinach at Aldi I like to add to the stew since I had to get the broc for my keyboarder anyway 
I melted a couple of anchovy filets in olive oil before starting the shells, and added a bit of toasted tomato paste to give the broth more depth.
Satisfying, simple, fast. Just the way I like it. Dinner out with my chili heads mañana. It’s been 14 weeks (!) and it looks like we’ll have a sizable group of epicureans

Alouette and Ritz to start out. No hot Italian sausage, just mild, so sausage, provolone quiche with some chopped jalapeño and red pepper flakes for heat. He fixed a salad. Just a slice of quiche for me.

Thanks!!
Leftover Hungarian egg noodles baked with cream, milk, parmesan and black pepper, then a squeeze of lemon before serving. I was craving a lemon pasta and clearing out the fridge. Entire dinner baked in the oven.

Caldo Verda. A tomato-based soup with fresh Spanish chorizo, carrots, garlic, potatoes, halibut chunks, and some garden surplus: shallots, kale, bay, and Cannellini beans. Served with a drizzle of cider vinegar, and homemade French bread toast on the side.
For dessert, a Meyer lemon poppyseed cake.

BF made me a tuna salad for dinner with that NYT’s sesame ginger vinaigrette i made over the weekend, and all the salad stuff in the fridge - radicchio, frisee, radishes, shallots, carrots, banana peppers, avocado, scallions, etc. Delish.

Gaza on my mind. Terrible. I made kufte kebabs from Gaza Kitchen for dinner last night. It was honestly hard to enjoy them. Crudites as the veg component.
