Went to lunch today at a local Asian restaurant. Brought home dinner for DH and my leftover General Tso's chicken. DH ate both! I had a cup of tea and some toast from the leftover crusty bread.

I listened to Rhizo and made a mixture of different rices today. Had chicken and some corn to go along with it.

Ooh, I hope it was good. Did you doctor it up with lots of good stuff?

We had buckwheat buttermilk pancakes, ham sausage, and a fruit with a yogurt and honey dip.

The pancakes had cinnamon and walnuts in the batter; NY state maple syrup on top.

I had a lamb chop, husband had a pork steak, some extra cheesy au gratin potatoes, and a huge sheet pan of roasted root vegetables. Sweet potato, turnip, parsnip, and beets. Husband ate twice as much vegetables as he did the meat or potatoes. Made me feel good. And he loved it! And he has a nice lunch for tomorrow.

Angela, we love roasted vegetables! There are so many kinds that do well roasted......brussels sprouts, parsnips, onions, etc etc. You made me hungry for them.

Rhizo, breakfast for dinner! Gotta love that.

Shirley, I love the rice mixes that Rhizo keeps talking about. I haven't bought any yet though. We love brown rice and basmati rice.

Georgysmom, your hubby was obviously hungry!! LOL I'd eat his portion next time, haha.

Mix of rice and roasted egg plant..yummy.

It looks like everyone here did better than I did tonight. Again.

Eggs over easy, sausage patties, yogurt with some blueberries (from Chile, so imported which I don't usually do), toast from the loaf of bread my neighbor surprised me with.

My SIL and her husband stopped and stayed long enough the pork chops I'd planned to cook weren't going to work. I had two only, so couldn't start them sooner, had nothing to offer for two extra plates. She said she had thawed a piece of salmon just big enough for two herself, but still stayed and gossiped. Longer than I would have liked.

My baking neighbor is a doctor, divorced and living singly. He's teaching himself to bake bread - It's improving ;) I didn't wait for dinner and cut a piece while it was still hot from his oven, enjoyed it. I bought him a bread knife for Christmas - One afternoon last Fall he came over with a loaf of bread while I was outside working in the yard. He said he had bread for me but wanted half back, did I have a bread knife he could use ;)

We had Chicken Fried Steaks, mashed potatoes, broccoli and biscuits with gravy. Made enough for leftovers tonight.

Rhizo: I wasn't brave enough to add anything to the mix of rices. One step at a time, lol. I used Lundberg Wild Blend rice mix. Tastes great without anything added to it. I have enough in the bag to make it again. I'm going to add Pictsweet seasoning blend to it.

We had bean burritos, spanish rice, pico de gallo, and all the extras.

morz8, I love the story about your baking neighbor. :)
