I must say, your (or presumably Mrs. P’s) plating skills do wonders for take out food. Was she a food stylist in another life?!
Before the quarantine, we rarely did takeout (mostly pizza), preferring to dine in restaurants. I follow many restaurants in the New England area and its sad for me to see their beautiful tasty food sitting in takeout containers.
Happy Birthday and many more!
I do the 30 lb refill buckets at Petco, and hate going frequently, so I wait until I have 3 of the 4 buckets empty and refill all at once. It just seems like they go through it in less than a month, although it’s probably more time than that.
Thank you @digga, @PHREDDY! @Rooster, and @RedJim!
Mrs. P is very artistic and has a great eye for design.
So after telling Mrs. P not to get me anything for my birthday, I wake up to this large package. I open it up and found the equivalent of 96 rolls of toilet paper (Quilted Northern and Charmin) 
It was the perfect present It took about 2 months to find normal toilet paper. She had to go to 2 different stores.
Great choices all around! Happy birthday! 
Yes! And bake at home Porto’s! That just made my COVID Eating list (yes I have one) or really my anytime list longer! Oh and the pork looks yummy too. 
Left over roast chicken used to make a quick one pot chicken and rice dish. Sautéed shallots and garlic, added what was in the frig including carrots, celery, zucchini, tomatoes, paprika, thyme, oregano, rice, and stock. Finished with lemon juice, and some herbs.
I just sent my cousin the Porto’s Bake-at-Home link with the caption “Did you know about this?!!” She sent back this!
“I’m kinda thinking“ both! 
Ummm… question, if I may? Where’s @ccj?
I was just thinking the same thing yesterday…
Aww! Happy birthday to the kiddo!
Love the dumpling choice - that’s one of my birthday faves too! (Is the pizza from that yummy place you sent me to when I visited Asheville?)
Will watch the short now - thanks for the rec!
Killing me over here with the lobster pics… yum!
That is so funny! My daughter is doing a virtual watching something party with a friend.
Comes with instructions and parchment paper sheets!
Good qs. Have you tried messaging her?
Several “regulars” have been mia… @ccj, @phreddy, and more
But these are weird times, and people need to deal in different ways. I was mia for a while from various things I usually participate in. Still am, in other places.
I hope they are well, wherever they are and whatever they are doing at the moment.
We had our first at-home grilled Impossible Burger the other night. We were both pleasantly surprised at how good it was, even on the day-old King Arthur sourdough sandwich loaf. (I’m missing our good local hamburg buns and need to give the KA Beautiful Burger Bun recipe a try.)
It was served with a tasty but very not-photogenic tortellini salad.
Mr Bean was reorganizing the wine rack and found a bottle of Marsala I didn’t know we had. Needless to say, Chicken Marsala was on the menu. Roasted green beans with tomatoes and garlic as well.
She said they turnout perfectly.
Do you know what she got?
