What's for Dinner, Fri., May 1, 2020

[NJCher]

Chicken breasts in hazelnut cream sauce.

Tarragon roasted carrot salad. The carrots are tossed in tarragon and olive oil; then roasted to the point of caramelizing. They go over tossed greens with Persian cukes. The salad dressing is cream-based and has chopped tarragon in it.

Dessert: bananas, vanilla yogurt, toasted cashews, golden raisins, and dried cranberries. I made ginger tea but this time I put fresh lemon balm from my garden in it. I like it; adds a slightly different flavor.

1. Soup

Scrounging in the freezer I found breast of roast chicken and stock.

Shortly after this discovery a chicken lentil soup with celery, onion, and garlic was simmering.

Not sure what else ... there are some clementines and grapes as well as some stewed apples that need eating.

FLFC, who is asleep now, will get a buffet of cheese burger chunks, dog foods, and perhaps some of a left over hot dog.

11. What kind of dog do you have? If you told me I forgot. I have four puppers.

and an ornery but loveable Siamese kitty. Your dog eats better than I do sometimes.

14. He is a tiny Pomeranian and spoiled rotten.

At under five pounds he is lighter than most cats. We are his third and forever home. He had tons of issues, but he's chilled out a lot.

Whole grain pasta with arrabbiata sauce, mixed veg and salad. Syrah.

5. Salad

Green leaf lettuce, red leaf lettuce, shredded cabbage, sliced celery, sliced white onion, salt & pepper & basil and toasted sesame seeds, with the plate ringed with slice tomatoes, sliced avocado, sliced hard-boiled egg and topped with slices of baked chicken with ranch dressing.

6. Subway with a few rum and Diet Cokes.

A local city park opened up yesterday, so a small group of friends and I met today for the first time since late February. We each brought our own food and drinks and had a late lunch/early dinner. It was easy to keep social distance while having a good time together.

frozen but tasted very fresh and was delicious. I used a mayo, chive and Old Bay ...salt and pepper also. on top of fish. Didn't defrost it. I made a huge salad and homemade dairy free Ranch to go with it. I made homemade croutons also. For dessert I made Banana Bread. I made a Latte with double shots to go with the banana bread.

tomato, pea greens, turnip greens, and chopped clementine peels). Herbal tea.

9. Southwest beef and potato hotdish

I used the basic ground beef & potato casserole recipe I got from the TV, and added a can of Rotel, some extra serano garlic & onion, as well as some cumin and oregano. Turned out pretty good

10. We ordered Chinese take-out

House lo mein, Kung Pao Chicken and Crab Rangoon

We did our monthly grocery shop late this afternoon, after getting everything home, wiping everything down and putting everything away, it was too much to even think about cooking.

There's butter pecan ice cream if we go looking for dessert.

15. a new trick I'm trying

Is that I only wash the items that need to be refrigerated and the ones I'll be using soon.

I leave the rest in the car or my garden shed for enough time for the virus to die.

It is so much work--shopping, cooking, and this new job of washing everything makes it an exhausting experience.
