āHomemadeā matzo ball soup. I put āhomemadeā in quotes because I used a matzo ball mix, tetrapak chicken broth and leftover rotisserie chicken. I made a total of 10 matzo balls and because I was still rather full from a big lunch and the fact that they came out a bit salty for my taste (my faultā¦I should have bought matzo meal instead of matzo ball mix!), I only ate two of the matzo balls.
It was unseasonably cold today and tomorrow will still be cool, so Iāll finish them soon enough. Other than the saltiness, Iām quite satisfied because the matzo balls are fluffy floaters, not the dreaded sinkers.

Since I had my big meal at lunch I had a cabbage, kidney bean, feta salad for dinner last night.
I had an appointment after work yesterday then popped into a nearby grocery store for salad ingredients so by the time I bussed it home it was getting late. I couldnāt be bothered to plate my salad so I ate it straight out of the bowl. Ah the benefits of dining alone

Your plates always look so appetizing and #faceplant-worthy!
Always the perfect sear on your meats, fish & seafood, vibrant green on your vegā¦ really a joy to behold 
You should explain to the boyz that itās like airlines advising adults to put on their oxygen masks before they put on their childās. You definitely did the right thing having a glass of wine before feeding them!

Would you mind posting how you make your fennel frond and orange salad and what you dress it with, please. Iāve never had that salad and truly want to try it. It looks so refreshing you tasty when you post a picture, but I have no idea what to put in it nor what to dress it with. I have already put the fennel and a Cara Cara orange in my grocery cart and will be placing the delivery order toward the end of next week. Thank you in advance.

Of course ā this is my own version of fennel salad, so itās very simple, and flexible too.
Slice the fennel thin (I use a mandoline, carefully!).
Segment the orange however you like ā I sometimes peel it normally and then peel the segments, other times I peel the orange with a knife and slice across.
I keep the dressing simple ā olive oil, a light vinegar (champagne works nicely, or rice wine, cider also works), (less) salt, and pepper.
Dress just before eating. I like to toss the fennel in the dressing first (it wilts ever so slightly) before adding the orange.
Finish with grated or shaved parmesan, or other hard, aged cheese (thatās why less salt in the dressing).
Finish with the fronds.
Hope you enjoy it! Itās great with any oranges btw.

I didnāt lose my sweet tooth. I have been trying to give up sweets for some health issues.
Some internal organs and chemistry are letting me down.
Lol.

I hate when I forget that Kohls in North Andover was closed to allow Market Basket to expand to include a Market Kitchen. Not sorry about the expanded MB. But I would have headed south to Woburn had I remembered.
So up to Plaistow, NH to use up my Kohls Cash. Then some antiquing in Plaistow and Kingston, which didnāt result in anything I didnāt need, but I enjoyed being out tooling around in the 68Ā° weather!
Beef Stroganoff with some beef tenderloin in the freezer cut off from what I had for Christmas dinner.
Served on egg noodles, with peas and the last of the fresh summer corn stripped from their cobs last August alongside.
Wine. And there will be chocolate pudding topped with Heath Bar crumbles on top for dessert. Maybe some Cuarenta y Tres as well. Weāll see.
