Baked potato and a salad here tonight.

It doesn't involve using the stove, but I'm putting this entry under cooking;

On Monday afternoon, I made salsa. Although tortilla chips are usually banned from this house due to saturated fat, they have entered while my stepdaughter is here. I will control myself. I made salsa as well, using my recipe of two cans Walmart brand no-salt diced tomatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, and my last jar (12 oz.) of 505 Southwestern Hatch Valley Flame Roasted Green Chiles that I brought with me from Texas. I can’t find anything comparable here in our area of Indiana. After having these, no other brand will work.

Tonight we had cubed pork,leftover candied sweet potatoes,fried okra and deviled eggs.

Thanks for the tip about the chilis, Mike. I will look into it.

I made broth this Monday afternoon from the bones of the rotisserie chicken we had last week.

For dinner, I made salmon and couscous, using Penzey's Greek seasoning.

It seemed a little cooler this evening than it has been. We may try to pick blueberries tomorrow at our favorite place.

Today I baked a meatloaf,cheese baked potato casserole and garden peas.

We had a nice rain in the late afternoon, and it is rather nice outside tonight.

I made a stir-fry for dinner on Tuesday, using green onion, celery, carrots, 8 oz. mushrooms, broccoli, snow peas from our garden, shrimp, and soba noodles. I had planned to use rice, but my stepdaughter likes the soba noodles as much as we do!

I made chicken-n-dressing,and green beans,cranberry sauce and lemon pie.I had a half chicken and the back that I boiled this morning,made a small pan 8 inch skillet of corn bread,2 ribs of celery and half of very large onion,a couple eggs,half a stack of saltines and 2 hot dog buns .It made up a 9x13 inch casserole dish so we enjoyed dressing today but I will freeze a lot to have later.It was so good I don't know why we think it's just for a holiday.
