When you said Asian tacos, my mind went immediately to “does it waffle?” And then I thought - if we had a “does it taco” thread, most everything would, in fact, taco. Same with a “does it salad,” “does it mac&cheese?” Alot of things I think would work on those canvases.

I ask this of myself nearly nightly. That’s feeding a 6-yo.

I love those polka dot petunias. I was admiring some on a gardening youtube video and wondering where I might find locally

Greg, you’re an afficionado of chicken breasts/cutlets. What brand do you typically buy, and do you just cook them as is, or do you do any pre-prep first? Marinade, buttermilk, salt brine?

No cooking mojo tonight. Toasted WW sourdough, Dijon, diced Canadian bacon, fried FM eggs, Maldon salt flakes. Tasty, especially for the 6 minute effort.

What does this mean?

Lovely orange-yolked eggs from the Farmers Market. I told the vendor I loved the eggs and he replied “they are happy girls!”

I had a toasted sesame St Viateur bagel (from Metro in TO) with whipped cream cheese around 4:30 pm today. :joy:

Boiled vacuum packed gnocchi with hot Italian sausage, browned butter and fresh sage, black pepper and half and half, a little starchy water to loosen. Thanks to the posters who advised me to leave a cup next to stove to remind me. Iceberg salad with avocado and chipotle ranch dressing.

Turkey Club, with bacon, Swiss, lettuce, tomato, dill pickle and mayo, on toasted whole grain.

The sandwich, however good, was completely overshadowed by DH’s home-fried potato chips, cut from new-crop Kennebec potatoes.

There will be homemade blueberry ice cream for dessert.

The photo doesn’t do them justice, they are darker and look like velvet. They smell good too.

:notes:Heaven, I’m in heaven and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak. :notes: Es un doble, in my large Knob Creek glass, doble tipsy oinion and doble tipsy olives.

I spent the day in town and had no dinner plans, so when I got home I did a freezer dive. I found shrimp, tomato/sausage sauce, mini penne, corn, okra and alfredo. I seared the shrimp, set aside and then sauteed fresh onions, garlic, red baby bells added the corn and okra, a splash of white wine, then the sauces and the penne, topped with the shrimp and parsley. Lettuce, tomato, cucumber salad with oo&v dressing, grated parm. Toasted sour dough with garlic parsley butter. Wine.

:notes: Life is just a bowl of cherries :notes: , from lovely Chelan, Wa. for dessert.

Grocery Outlet was rocking again today. Do You Love Me was playing and they announced on the intercom “Dancing in asile 8”.
So we all did.
