Garlic bread rounds with black forest ham, swiss cheese and a roasted red pepper.

Water crackers topped with a slab of tomato and basil.

Mushroom caps stuffed with tuna and thyme.

Broiled pineapple slices.

To finish -

Strawberries with whipped cream.

The challenge here is the prep and the movie choice.

every one of those sound de-lish! Will try tuna and thyme; sounds like a good combo.

I tried the cracker/tomato w/basil, only I used a whole wheat cracker and a roasted tomato. Fresh leaf of basil.

Totally outrageous. Oh man.

so it's soft food for him and i'm nibbling.
Not sure what set me off, but the water level on the bipap thingy didn't reduce last night, so I may just have dried out too much. :/

Worked late again tonight.

Potato salad and a crab cake. Red wine.

For dessert, tea and a biscotti.

....with long simmering and some BBQ sauce. Alongside, butter-browned mashed potato cakes from leftover mashed redskins, and a chunky salad with radishes, carrots, red onion, cucumber, and a salad mix from Trader Joe's with baby kale, baby rocket, and baby chard. A bleu cheese vinaigrette on that. I really like this salad mix for its nutrition and use it on sandwiches too.

Translation: fried cabbage, browned butter and onions and cooked bowtie pasta. It was yummy and there's a lot left over.
