Pasta with pesto tonight. Froze loads of pesto last summer.

I had chicken chunks with creamed corn, mushroom and onions with cheese on top and ranch with hot sauce on top for dipping my chicken.

Leftovers tonight.

On Wednesday, I made the dinner that I had planned for Tuesday: Tarragon Chicken with Mushrooms and Rice, which I adapted from a recipe that The Splendid Table featured. I think it is the only one of their recipes that I have ever made, and it is a favorite of ours. I skin the chicken, rub it with a little mayonnaise, then coat the top with toasted panko before cooking. We had it with microwaved frozen peas.

Re: Ancestry. I have been working on and off on the Swedish immigrant ancestors who came over in the 1880s. None of the Swedish culture got passed on in my family. I now think it is because they were escaping a very hard life over there.

Not a darn thing! Going out to dinner with 2 friends.

I had rotisserie chicken with leftover creamed corn and mushrooms with onions.

Enjoy your time with friends Kimbob! My friends are what keeps me happy and lively! Our only son lives in Texas so I'm always going now to friends and living my life as I took care of family too. Love yourself!

We did our major shopping run to the county seat today, which in addition to shopping three grocery stores also involves dropping off our recyclables, stops at Marshall's and Ross for me and TSC for Scott. Scott also got his second shingles shot. Fortunately, we had leftovers from last night, so we could relax in the later afternoon.

I finally finished making the falafel tonight. Yesterday morning I made the "dough" and got home too late to make them. So this morning, I scooped and put them on the baking sheet and into the fridge. Tonight I baked them and made quick tzatziki and had them over arugula. I like the flavor, but I think the baking time was a little too long as I thought they were dry.

I ordered Chinese delivery yesterday, curry beef and wonton soup. I had the soup for today's lunch and leftover beef for tonight's dinner. I cooked some fresh vegs to go with it tonight (carrot, celery and cauliflower).

Dinner was great yesterday. My friend's took me to Savona's Trattoria in Poughkeepsie for my bd. I didn't want anything with red sauce so ordered a gorgonzola pear pizza. It had gorgonzola, pears, bacon, ricotta and hot honey. So delicious. There was also a fig gorgonzola pizza that looked good -- next time. One friend got a broccoli rabe Italian sausage pizza and the other zuppa pescatore. Because it was my bd the waiter brought us 3 glasses of prosecco and for dessert a chocolate lava cake topped with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream and 3 spoons. Heaven!

Today I'm eating leftover chicken paprikas and nokedli.

Belated Happy Birthday, Kimbob🥳

[BakerAunt]

Belated birthday greetings, Kimbob. Those sound like great pizza choices.

Friday night's dinner was pork slices coated with pecan meal after dipping into a mixture of egg, Dijon mustard, and smoky paprika, then roasted. I also roasted sweet potato chunks separately in the countertop oven, and we had microwaved frozen vegetables.

Thanks cwcdesign and BA. Another one down the drain.

My best friend in college (and best man at our wedding) lives in Saugerties, about 45 miles north of Poughkeepsie. Last time we were out that way we had dinner with him in a restaurant that I think was in a building that was originally a Pizza Hut. Pretty good, though, I think the chef has been on Chopped.

[Mike Nolan]

We had sandwiches on the fresh honey wheat bread, plus some eclair shells dipped in warm pastry cream.
