M was gone the last three days of this post, which led to my total left over meals rising by 20%.

Monday, October 14 - At M's request, I made my mother's chili recipe for the third time this year. We also had a instant corn bread packet from somewhere, so I made that to. I guess I'll count that as another recipe even if it was a kit ( Read more... )

This post encompasses a quick trip to Zion National Park, so it has a lot of new to me restaurants.

Wednesday, October 9 - I threw the Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken in the crock pot for the second time this year, but it was more for M than me as I caught a flight that night. I ate a sandwich from a take out place called Cibo Express in the Houston ( Read more... )

I made a lot of new recipes this week, which is mostly because the last two issues of Eating Well have had some pretty interesting recipes.

Thursday, October 3 - M loves both dips and Middle Eastern food. The Muhammara recipe in the October 2019 Eating Well seemed like just the thing. I had a lot of trouble peeling the skins of the broiled red ( Read more... )

After we came back from PEI, the idea of eating home sounded pretty good ( Read more... )

This is the second part of the food eaten on our PEI Trip.

Friday, September 20 - Dalvay by the Sea doesn't do breakfast, so we motored into the touristy heart of Anne of Green Gables territory. On the way we stopped at a diner called the By the Bay in North Rustico. It appeared to be a year round place popular with the locals; there were ( Read more... )

We went to Prince Edward Island. We ate out a lot, and unsurprisingly all the restaurants were new to us. Most of them had seafood, and we hit that as hard as we could. It was a pretty fantastic vacation, both overall and in the culinary sense. Eventually I'll have a full diary, but for now we'll start it with the food. This is part one ( Read more... )

This week had a lot of concerts and parties. I can deal with that ( Read more... )

The first week of the last 1/3 of 2019 started and ended up with very small athletic accomplishments. On a side note, I have to say that the September 2019 Eating Well is killing it so far. I still haven't exhausted the recipes in that issue, and one of the soups this week was the best new thing I've made in quite some time ( Read more... )

I suppose I'm running a risk by posting this on August 31 before the day is complete, but I'm feeling pretty full, so here's all the detail on the many new recipes I made as we bring August to a close.

Saturday, August 24 - My folks were in town, so I made a nice shakshuka for breakfast. It appears I hadn't made one previously this year. For some ( Read more... )

I got back to basics and did a lot of cooking this week, with many new recipes. Of course, this was sandwiched between a trip to Pittsburgh and my parents coming to town, both of which required some eating out.

Saturday, August 17 - John, darlox and I went to Pittsburgh to see Iron Maiden in concert. We got there early enough for some food and beverage ( Read more... )
