My baby finger is healed enough to lift heavy pans and so I can cook again. My husband who now realizes the effort it takes to plan, shop and prepare meals every day has agreed to split dinner responsibility 3(me), 2(he) and 2 (out). (He) has a manila folder of his successful recipes. His most successful was a NYT recipe: Honey Chicken with Broccoli. He also made a pretty good American Chop Suey. The green peppers were cut a little too large but edible. One day he practiced chopping an onion following a you tube video! His initial interest in cooking is beginning to wane so I'm going to find some easy recipes for him to try or cut my finger again!

Lucky me. I sliced my baby finger's tendon, nerve and artery. I was holding a hoagie roll in my left hand and was slicing the roll horizontally with my sharp bread knife and voila! Now my husband is learning to cook. He has made omelets, chicken fajitas and tuna melts. I think he now appreciates me after all these years.
I made grilled chicken thighs (boneless, skinless) with an apricot jam glaze. The recipe was from Fine Cooking. I served it with a baked potato and a corn and tomato salad. ( We had a personal tragedy in our family which is why I have been absent. I do not want to go into details.)
A few months back I bought a box of "Camellia" brand cajun style white beans with seasoning. The box was a 5-point freebie from our Giant supermarket. I added sliced Italian sausage and leftover chicken. It was very good.
The focaccia looks fab!
We had a super chicken salad. I baked a bbq sauced chicken breast. I purchased one of those sunflower mixed salads . I added sugar snap peas, diced radishes, tomato slices, fresh basil and the sunflower seeds included in package, diced chicken and noodles for heft. A+
My neighbor brought over a large batch of soup. It had a tomato base with mixed veggies, small whole potatoes and meatballs. It was hearty and filling. It just needed some spice which I will add when we have the frozen leftovers.
Did you refrigerate the shells overnight too?
BA that sounds like a great idea!
We went to Guppy's in Indian Rocks (BA you probably have been there) and I had Caesar salad with raw tuna sashimi. My husband had the swordfish wrapped in bacon. Our friends strongly suggested the lobstercargot with lots of butter. I couldn't go there.
Happy Birthday Joan🎂! Yesterday my husband and I had fish and chips at a great little seafood place in Dunedin. This was after a spring training baseball game game where we almost melted in the sun.

We had tacos with leftover beef which I had frozen. The beef was spicy but not taco-tasting. I substituted chopped celery for the lettuce. I had wrapped the celery in foil and it had stayed fresh for a couple of weeks. The cucumber I wrapped on the same day was mushy after a week. A lesson learned.
