Starting this early in case I don't make it by until later.

Ordered pizza Wednesday night since I had a free 3 topping coupon and didn't feel like cooking. I have a bunch leftover so it will be lunches for a day or so.

Will be roasting chicken and veggies tonight (mushrooms, onions, sweet & white potatoes, celery, carrots) and using the leftover chicken over the next day or so in Mexican dishes.

1. i think leftovers tonight

or maybe just soup and salad.

i have some beef stew we need to eat up and some meatloaf

Mr. Ketchup is fighting a cold and working so we'll see how he feels when he gets home.....

[Lucinda]

2. I'm sorry he isn't feeling well. Bill has been complaining about not feeling well for

the past few days but I can't get him to take anything for it. I hate seeing him sick.

I always pop zinc as soon as a cold starts up, or eat something nice and spicy. I have a friend who swears by Hot and Sour soup for colds. I think we just fry the cold germs with the spices.

Hope he is better soon.

3. he started the zinc Monday

poor guy

[Lucinda]

4. Hopefully the zinc will help it pass sooner. It works well for me.

Sounds like he is more reasonable than Bill is! At least your guy will take something for it!

23. We had leftovers too.

It was clean out the fridge night. I hope Mr Ketchup is feeling btter.

5. My local market had chicken for 25 cents/lb

(for the leg quarters). I went to stock up, got 20 pounds for the freezer for 5 bucks. But when I was there I saw they had prime rib for under $4/lb. I got a small roast, it was my first time cooking one. Tasty but it totally messed up my savings for the trip.

[Lucinda]

8. That's how they lure us in!

Still, it's a killer deal on the chicken.
I've never made prime rib at home either, so I might have given it a try too, at that price!

[noamnety]

14. I had no clue how to serve it.

It looked great as a roast, it had two bones in it and there are two of us. I know for spareribs you just cut between the ribs. I tried that, but we each ended up with a plated hunk of meat that was 1.5 pounds and we looked like we were in an episode of the Flintstones. It tasted great, but we each have LOTS of leftovers - we made ourselves doggie bags even though we were already home.

[Lucinda]

22. LOL ~ Your post gave me a great visual!

At least you know what you're having for the next day or so, and that price per pound vs number of meals may pay off after all!

6. turkey-sweet potato-parsnip hash

Some chipotle in the hash, and minced leeks for flavor, and also a blob of grainy mustard.

Served with slaw made with savoy cabbage, green apple and spicy peanuts.

[Lucinda]

9. Sounds yummy. I had a great slaw at a local restaurant here a few years ago

and they use fruit in the mix too. I loved it.

7. It was supposed to be beef stew...

But, I put way too much liquid in it, so it's soup now. I may resort to dehydrated potato flakes to thicken it up. Or, just leave it as soup.

[Lucinda]

10. Have it as soup today and stew tomorrow!

Sounds really good to me either way!

[GoCubsGo]

11. I think that's what I'll do.

I can always drain out the extra liquid.

Glad you're feeling well enough to hang out here tonight. Not feeling well sucks.

[Lucinda]

12. Thank you. And I agree it really, really does.

[The empressof all]

13. sloppy joes, salad and acti fries

I haven't made home made sloppies in years. I have some beautiful rolls from costco

[Lucinda]

18. Bill makes them when we want something spicy but aren't in the mood to cook

Good stuff!

[supernova]

15. Felt uninspired today

Think I'm PMSing and very fatigued.

So I dug into the freezer for some pot stickers and some broccoli.

Pot stickers we got at the Asian market. Good too.

[Lucinda]

19. I love pot stickers. I haven't had any in quite a while....

May have to make some soon now!

[fizzgig]

16. turkey and bacon sandwiches and bagel chips

life has gotten in the way of just about everything this week, so it's what i have on hand.

[Lucinda]

20. I hope the weekend behaves itself and you get a little break.

Bacon is a food group for Bill, so your sandwich would work well around here.

[pinto]

17. 3 egg omelet, done simple - with cheese, onion, green chilies and salsa.

And a movie.

[Lucinda]

21. I love the asiago and dill omelets that I make, but I don't cook them "properly"

I like them browned a bit in butter and a little on the dry side. Yummy.

[eridani]

24. Herbed salmon fillets with corn

Both hauled out of freezer.
