2. Baked salmon with mustard and brown sugar glaze

Asparagus sautéed in butter with mushrooms, onion, diced smoked ham, and a little garlic. Over jasmine rice. The smoky ham really tied everything together.

The asparagus and ham are leftover from Christmas, I was trying to clean out the fridge some.

I made a nice, big, dark cup of coffee with Coldstone Creamery creamer, even though it’s late. It tastes really good so I don’t care.

4. Mom just texted me about their dinner

She made the traditional New Year’s Day pork roast with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut. We have freezing rain going on, so I wasn’t able to make it over to her house. She’s bringing me a plate to work tomorrow! Her pork roast is soooo good and tender. Looking forward to it!

7. Sloppy joes and cole slaw. The sloppy joes are from my...

... childhood and include every condiment you can think of. Ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, tabasco, vinegar, brown sugar, cinammon, cayenne, black pepper... I'm doing this from memory. Sure to have forgotten something.

10. Work night for TJ

TJ took the rest of the bean soup to work with her.

I've just been grazing, using up things. Cotto Salami sandwich w/Swiss and brown mustard on whole wheat. Some pepper jack cheese sticks, pineapple slices, followed by a sweet potato with butter.

FLFC has been eating off and on all day and hasn't lobbied me for food this evening. He was complaining on the couch a short while ago and I took him in my arms (he's tiny), with the back of his head nestled in my armpit, and went outside to observe the rain. He observed the front yard and got big drips on his head. He hasn't whined for out since then. He's fading.
