What's for Dinner, Mon., Dec. 7, 2020

[NJCher]

Pork chops (t-bone kind) with a sauce the RG made. The sauce has tomato and other vegetables in it, which were strained to make a very thick sauce. Since the chops had been brined, they were super tender.

Roasted leeks.

Peas.

Salad was spring mix with red and yellow peppers, cherry tomatoes, Persian cucumbers , Vidalia, white radish, black olives. Spicy Ranch dressing.

Dessert: Spicy chai tea and Rice Krispies treats for me. Zip for the RG.

2. (ugh) fish sticks

(I would so much prefer a piece of fish than fish sticks, but Al likes them.)

Macaroni and cheese
green beans

(sometimes cooking for Al's preferences makes me feel like I'm the lunch lady from my junior high cafeteria, decades ago)

There are still chocolate chip cookies if we want dessert.
