What WAS on Your Plate & and WHAT'S for Dinner Tonight 6/12

WHERE DID THE LAST FEW DAYS GO?
Well, been a bit busy here.

Unfortunately, a couple of close friends recently passed this week; both very unexpected. So, the last days were spent cooking for them and their families. A bit going on ...

So, back to normal today.
Lady #3: Eggplant parmesan; tomato salad; crusty pesto bread w/artichokes

Me: Really easy tonight. Using up a spud before it goes bad, some broccoli florettes and ham (both freezer). I'm gonna make a little cheese sauce for the broccoli and ham; then top a baked spud. On the side, a small green salad. I also have some fruit too.

What are your plans?

I made cabbage rolls last night into the wee hours so that's what's for dinner tonight

[Kchurchill5]

OHHHH! Love those things. That sounds so good! I grew up with those.

Grilling pork chops tonight KChurchill

[Kchurchill5]

Good grilling weather for most of us these days. I'm actually doing my spud in the micro to start; and, then to the grill. I'll make the sauce out there too. Nothing better than sipping wine, sitting by the grill. Chill Time!

KC, so sorry to hear about your friends. That's always hard.

Tonight it was just marinated grilled pork chops and spaghetti squash with butter, crumbled bacon, fresh thyme and brown sugar.

So sorry about you friends KChurchill5, loosing close friends is very tough

I made chicken cacciatore tonight

[Kchurchill5]

2 Chops tonight, guess it is a porky night. Cacciatore sounds really good; haven't done that in a while.
And thx guys, it was really a surprise about my friends. The families are holding up; but, always hard. It think they appreciated the food; at least it is one less thing that had to think about. And sent paper plates, plastic flatware and solo cups. Meaning NO dishes for them too.
