The pork roast was good, the pan sauce/gravy was OK, adding mustard might have helped.
I went with the pork roast, with some onion, celery, carrots, a diced apple, a few small potatoes, some of the liquid from the tomato relish, and some fresh parsley and rosemary, with a sprinkle of thyme. So far it smells great.
LaMars Donuts was doing a 'not a bagel Day' giveaway today, but it was too cold and snowy to go get a free donut.
We had cheese tortellini with diced tomatoes and some cheese toast. Fast, warm and yummy.
I'm working on emptying our big upright freezer because it needs a full defrost. I found some minestrone I had made some time ago in it and got it out for another day. As I recall, I liked it and Diane was so-so on it. (I had put some summer squash and other veggies in it.)
I am making bagels today, the plan is to make 6 normal bagels (around 3 ounces each) and 2 pizza cups (about 4.5 ounces each.)
My wife thawed out one of the tangzhong cinnamon rolls yesterday, it was still nice and soft. I definitely plan to make another batch of these, probably freezing most of them.
I've got some bananas that are past the best eating point, so some more banana nut muffins are coming, probably not for a day or two.
We had reubens and salad.
I had a salad with tuna fish.
Leftovers and salad here.
I don't eat shrimp either, I had a bad reaction to some shrimp creole many years ago and whether it's psychological or physical I just don't care for it. I haven't had a problem with fish, nor with crab or lobster, though our younger son can't eat shellfish.
The Red Lobster in Lincoln closed during the pandemic, aside from a few sushi places there aren't a lot of places specializing in fish here. My wife doesn't like salmon or red snapper, so when we have fish other than canned tuna she usually has orange roughy and I have salmon. (Around here frozen salmon is cheaper than frozen orange roughy.) Cod (or whatever they make fish sticks from) is OK for both of us.
Living on the coast probably wouldn't increase our fish intake much. I'm a steak and potatoes guy.
Fresh salmon is really expensive, and has been for a while, the frozen stuff is still a bit cheaper here.
But any protein is getting expensive, bacon is up nearly 100% over a year ago.
It'll be potato soup and salad for supper here.
Oh, I could have always defrosted it in the microwave, but we had pizza and lasagna left over from last night, and lots of salad. So I had two slices of pizza and some salad and my wife had a slice of lasagna plus some salad.
I also had a cinnamon spiratzi with a little of the dipping sauce (sugar/cinnamon) on it.
Hmm, the carat-A thingie is back. I'm pretty sure I know what plugin is causing it, but I don't know what setting is causing it. Must be something I changed recently, though.
Yeah, I think it's leftover night here, too. I got potato leek soup out of the freezer Thursday but it is still quite solid, so we'll probably have some for lunch tomorrow.
I am making semolina bread, because I took the last of the previous batch and cut them up for croutons for potato leek soup.
