Chicken thighs are my favorite parts.

Stew beef and rice and a kale salad for tonight.  We have enough chicken and veges left over for another dinner but because Johnny is a weirdo about leftovers I'm going to try and slip that in on him tomorrow night.  I want to get to the point where I can go to the grocery store one day a week so I can use the senior citizen discount,  I want to get something for being old, and if I can trick Johnny into eating leftovers I think I can do that.  Since we're both weird about frozen meat I have to cook what I buy pretty quickly.  Boy are we strange!!!

I'm making my very first pot of potato and leek soup.  It says to serve it cold but I'm going to serve it hot because I froze my hands underneath the cold water when I was rinsing the leek and potatoes.  They are so cold.  And at 63 in the house they aren't warming up.

That sounds yummy, Tammy.
I have not decided on dinner yet. I'm actually thinking about putting together some breakfast burritos. Following my own cravings.

Spaghetti.  Not very romantic either but I've never been called romantic.

Did Johnny like it? That is the main thing.

Dinner? I need to plan dinner?
I am about out of my lovely leftovers so I really do need to give this some thought.
Thanks for the reminder.

I understand what you are saying.  I had a pot of bean soup and I'm at the end of it so it's time to cook again.  Hopefully the london broil will last me several days.  Although, I love it so much that's probably a generous estimate.

Did Johnny like it? That is the main thing.

If you're asking if Johnny liked the spaghetti the answer is no he did not.  He ate it but when he was finished he asked what I had done differently because he didn't want to have to eat it again.  What I had done differently was to use a store bought jar of marinara sauce and added a little browned ground beef.  I loved it and ate it the next day for lunch.  He likes a little sauce with his pound of browned ground beef and of course no seasoning whatsoever in his sauce so guess I won't be doing that again.

But he didn't complain about the left over rice and left over asparagus the other night.

Gosh duh, I can't remember the last time we had london broil.  Yummy.

If it's not raining too badly I'm cooking burgers on the grill with slaw and I'll bake Johnny a sweet potato.

Johnny sounds like the people at church where I go.  They are used to very plain food and if I do one of my special dishes for them I end up taking it all home with me.  Which is why I don't even bother to go to the pot lucks anymore.  I mean why bother.

Johnny won't even eat at church because he doesn't know what people have put in stuff.  He's not very adventurous when it comes to food.

Even though it's pouring rain I fixed burgers on the grill.  Yummy

I tucked a whole chicken in the crockpot. It was previously roasted so I ate chicken already with some veggies. If my older kids show up hungry later, there is plenty. And if not I will do something with the leftovers tomorrow.

so you roasted it first and then decided to crock it?  I've never tried that.  Bone in?

I found out tonight after many years of baking Johnny a sweet potato once in a while that he "really doesn't care for sweet potatoes." One of  us has gone crazy.

Yes, bone in. I roasted 2 a few weeks ago. I froze one and a half. We ate the second half a couple weeks ago. Today I decided to crock up the other. I will toss the skin and bones and have lovely soup makings or chicken and broth for a casserole this weekend.
I have tried to avoid freezing much cooked meat. It was hard to keep from freezer burning no matter how I wrapped it. But with the vacuum sealer, life is much better.

Last night we had left over ham, roast, and meat loaf and Johnny liked it.  I've decided he's the crazy one.
