Way, I keep thinking about planning a bus trip to the city, just for a Broadway play, but as far as the city , I have no interest. Lol went a few times. Way to many people, for me!! I'd deal with the people though for Broadway Play.

Daisy ,

If you go , go to 5 Napkin Burger . Very juicy .

We are fortunate to have a number of universities by me that do plays as well as some music venues where famous ( albeit older ) bands come to perform . We also have minor league baseball and minor hockey ( my favorite sport ) 20 minutes away, I’m good where I am . There has been alot added the 20 years I’m here. Getting too crowded here too .
We are going to a baseball game this Saturday night . First time in a few years .

Have fun at your baseball game!!!

I've finally cleared out almost all of the backlog of veggies in my fridge so tonight I'm having green beans fresh from my garden, some local corn-on-the-cob (on sale this week at my nearby stores), and a sausage. It will probably be watermelon for dessert

CWillie, how was the watermelon? Every single one i have got this summer has been so very good.

Your dinner sounds delish!

The watermelon was pretty good ITRR. I dug through the bin to find the one with the yellowest bottom and so far that method hasn't failed me, it they are all just white or green I won't buy.

cw - it always seems that way when I put the new groceries away, but somehow I get through it all. I trying to discipline myself to eat more from the freezers. They are much too full. The fridge has a bottom freezer and organizing it is a challenge. Vertical arrangement is recommended - like files. That's a new one for me.

@Golden ,

Yes , I hate my bottom freezer ! But the fridge was already in this house when we bought . I have been hoping it would break . But nope , it’s 20 years old and going strong. I miss my side by side fridge/freezer.

Way - I chose mine - my new one! Aaargh. Didn't do enough research I guess. Now it's research on how to organize it. Your's will conk out before mine.

Finding a fridge without a bottom freezer is almost impossible, I have a side by side that came with the house and I really prefer this to the other two options. But I do wish my freezer was a little bit wider because many boxed items don't quite fit.

It's too hot to cook and I don't feel much like eating anyway. Of course that probably won't stop me from noshing on junk food at bed time.

Confused about what to eat, and when?
Not sure if you feel hungry?

Old-time advice was to take one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.

I tried it once or twice.

Then decided that I am going to eat whether or not I am hungry.

Beans and Rice, so good, so fancy, it was gourmet. Found instructions online, but not written down.

Not cooking anymore, even though with a/c running it's cool enough.
Worried about being more frugal, less conspicuous consumption.

Going to try cold sandwiches for the remaining week.
Using sourdough bread.

I love Sourdough bread.
Heck,I love every kind of bread.
Sounds like your'e going to have some good sandwiches Send and you gave me an idea of what to make for our dinner tonight,so thanks~

I'm in sandwich mode too. Nothing fancy - just bread and whatever protein have on hand, often with mustard and a handful of baby spinach or lettuce.

Love sourdough bread!!!

We usually have soup with our sandwiches,but not tonight with the awful heat outside.
We'll just have chips and cottage cheese instead.
Whatever everybody else is having,I hope it turns out good~

Peanut butter sandwich, brand name.
On light fake wheat bread. soft.
Add a bit of real butter, makes it easier to swallow.

Quesadilla-that's a flour tortilla (not homemade) with mild cheddar cheese
melted inside, microwaved.

1/2 of the cheese fell on the floor.
Saved calories.

Earlier for lunch, a fantastic homemade potato soup, add cream of mushroom soup, can of evaporated milk, chicken broth, water, two baking potatoes pre-cooked, orange pepper, lots of purple onion, celery, and simmer as long as you can wait.

It is a very strange time we are having, something's not right. How about you?

We are having an extreme heat advisory. All there is left to do is eat.

send - what is "light fake wheat bread"? I am curious. The soup sounds great. Everything feels normal here. Sounds like you were having a "doom" moment or two.

cw - I am sure lots of people use microwaves for quesadillas.

Tonight I am taking a new approach to my family pack of chicken breasts. I am brining them, then seasoning and baking them. I usually poach them on the stove top. This seems like less work and more flavour and that's always good. I'll freeze some of them for later.

Love soups even with 100 degrees. Could live on soups mostly. And bread.
Yes Golden I too wonder about light fake wheat bread?

Things feel off in my world too Golden.
Like extra nervousness and feeling queasy .
My dh isn't right either but he hasn't been since his stroke but I still think his comprehension and hearing are even worse lately.
Maybe it's because of all the chaos going on,idk.....but
Eating some chocolate will help,I hope.
We had breakfast for dinner tonight~

Define "Light fake wheat bread", lol.

Some people still buy sandwich bread pre-sliced in a soft plastic bag from some factory bakery that specializes in long shelf lives on most major supermarket shelves. I grew up eating that.
Thinking of Weber's white bread, then they had "wheat".

My point was that it is not healthy, but sometimes those of us trying to eat healthy can go off the wagon, so to speak.

Cwillie, A quesadilla made in the microwave - not the way a "real" quesadilla is made.
Using a microwave could also be a crime.
I call it survival, and don't do it very often.

Golden, Now I will need to look up "Poaching" chicken breasts. Never did that and need a new way to cook them on the stove-top. Always my go-to way of cooking most everything because it is easy.

send - OK got that and falling off the wagon is common, in some ways necessary to survive.

The oven roasted chicken breast was very easy. Brining sounds fancy but you just put a small handful of salt in a couple of cups of hot water to dissolve it and then immerse the chicken in that for 15 mins up to overnight. Take the chicken out, pat it dry, and place in a roasting pan and season, cook at 375 till done - about 1/2 hr. Always check with your meat thermometer that it reaches 165F. Doing it in the oven means you don't have to stand over the stove and watch it. Mind you, poaching is good for that too, but you can cook a large batch at once in the oven.

Anyone else like Fontaine Sante dark chocolate hummus? Really hits the chocolate craving spot sometimes.

I bought too much milk so I have been making milk jellos. Coconut and almond milk work very well and don't curdle. I especially like the lemon and orange, but the others are OK too.
