Have not posted much the last couple weeks. Started a new job and trying to get used to the schedule. Hope everyone had a great Halloween.

Last night the BF made Salisbury Steak with onion gravy (I did the mashed potatoes and peas). He’d been wanting to make it for a while now but I’ve never been a fan (nor do I like meat loaf most of the time). So, I finally caved and let him make his version. It was delicious. A big pop of flavor and the onion gravy was on the money. Even the old Corelle plates returned for a rare cameo!

Sister’s fresh pasta, sauteed Italian sausage with garlic and added Rao’s Marinara and a heap of Calabrian chili paste/grated parm. Big fat salad with the works. The last bits and bobs of our baguettes, garlic-rubbed and with butter/parm. Comfort food in advance of tomorrow’s nerve-fraught day.

Someone has suggested that this year 2020 should be canceled and next year will be the real 2020. Many of the problems, like cancelled Olympics will be in the right year again! :hugs:

Yes to both of those!

Was wondering where you’d been!

My BF would LOVE this dinner. I should talk him into making it for us.

He’s always very appreciative and sweet.

He knew how much work it was, and had been offering us outs for days, but he was so specific about what he wanted that it was sweet.

It did help that there were two of us frying, and that I had rolled everything out earlier.

With Diwali coming, it was also good frying practice :joy:

I used to quite enjoy frozen TV dinner Salisbury steak in my younger days. Have never actually thought to make it!

I think I could get on board with that, @naf!

Sunday gravy with meatballs on Monday night. WF’s has a nice organic blood orange soda under their label.

But what if it were the same??? Like groundhog day? Brrrr.

TV is off. I can’t deal with it all.

Dinner was quick and simple: Tsardusted grilled pork chop, finished in the oven, with some spicy plum ketchup on top.

Served on buttered and peppered egg noodles alongside roasted garlic Brussels sprouts.

Oh. There’s wine. Even though it’s a Tuesday.

Mmm all that crunch!

Chinese for our weekly “Asian” night tonight.

I made yellowtail (from “my fish guy” :joy:) marinated in some leftover scallion-ginger sauce from weeks ago, then crusted with some corn flour and pan-fried for crisp exterior. I also had a bit of leftover (indian-style) chilli chicken in the freezer, which reheated well.

Rest of the meal was sautéed broccoli, mixed mushrooms with scallions, and tofu in peanut sauce.

A tasty night.

I’m sure I’ll be eating my feelings later, even though there is no cable via which to mindlessly watch garbage analysis.
