We had leftover Chinese food. DH over did the microwaving, but I very much appreciated not having to cook tonight.

Cottage (or cowboy) pie. It's really too hot for this meal, but I'm tired of summer stuff. And I had some mushrooms to use up, along with carrots and parsnips.

Steamed cabbage on the side.

We love cooked cabbage!

I bought a sleeve of 10 apple juice tetrapacks for $1.50 yesterday. Now I have to figure out what to cook using them.

I'm thinking of cooking some cabbage and onions with some apple juice tomorrow as the veggie for dinner.

Meatloaf, fried green tomatoes, hominy and salad.

Pork chops, mashed potatoes and gravy, and collard greens. Just finished eating and I'm stuffed!

Oh, wow. All this comfort food I'm reading about is making me hungry again. I just had a bowl of veg soup an hour ago, but the soda crackers I had in the cupboard were stale. Used them anyway but didn't taste good.

Potato soup and stuffed mushrooms. Think I'll have a cup of hot chocolate,too....it's cold today.

I was at Amber's and I had a sandwich spread sandwich and a
Hummingbird cupcake. I don't know what the others ate as we sort of ate in shifts. I have been at her home since 8 this morning and watched the baby and had the food hot for meals. The rummage stuff is put away and the canopy is down and put away. I am ready to go to bed. Turned out to be a really pretty day out.

We went to an 80th birthday party. This couple has a beautiful pool and surrounding patio but alas, it rained and the party was inside. Nevertheless, a good time was had by all. I ate a lot of oysters and shrimp.

since we are watching the OU game we picked up hot wings and fries and veggies it is a tradition kind of around here.

Taco Bell and Diet Dr. Pepper!

California roll and sunshine roll from an Asian market we like.

Today was our block party, so all we did was eat.

I made: hot cheese dip (served with corn chips); hoisin chicken with vegetables over rice, grilled pineapple, caramel apples, peanut butter oatmeal cookies, bread pudding with caramel sauce.

Others had chili, burgers, pineapple marinated in coconut rum, salads, oriental noodles--the list goes on and on.

We lucked out weather wise, it was a glorious day--in the 60's. The crowd was nice. Every home had some sort of activity planned for the kids (we made sponge balls with them, and supplied the pinatas). Other activities included: water balloon fight, face painting, musical chairs (in the middle of the street), crafts, a scavenger hunt. One of the neighbors sets up a sound system and DJ's. The street's blo9cked off, and the kids get to enjoy safely riding their bikes and scooters down the middle of the street.

It was a great day, but I'm bushed. DH had to work (of course) so it was up to me to not only prepare the food, but set up the chairs, table, canopy, pull the grill out front (and it's the size of a volkswagon!) The party's still going, but we've packed it in and come inside. In the morning we'll pile the lawn stuff into the truck and take it back to the country house.

Nice day, though--and DD and a friend came to share it with us.

Went out for a big breakfast this morning so I probably won't be eating anything else tonight.

Parmesan crusted chicken, baked sweet potato with brown sugar and butter, mixed seasonable veggies..squash, broccoli carrots...strawberry cheesecake. (Ate in a restaurant)

Yesterday we ate at a Shaker Village restaurant. I had tomato/celery soup, which was really good. Then shared the dinner with Sola: pork with apricot topping, potato croquet and squash. The dinner came with a "free" side of tomato casserole, yeast rolls and little corn muffins. Liza had steak, asparagus and something else, I can't remember. Sola also had a side salad. None of us could finish it all. There was just too much food.

Tonight we're having pork curry and rice.

Kath, could you post your pork curry recipe?

No idea.

Wait minute ...

... there's that hot dog that they sent home from church.

And the stew of potato, onion, peas and hamburg meat that's left over from about last Friday ...

... which, if I don't eat soon, will develop some of that fuzzy stuff on top.

And fresh tomatoes - have about 30 lbs. of them.
