Rain, rain go away, please!!

My meal tonight will be a salmon patty, yellow wax beans, and cottage cheese with grape tomatoes.

Please share what your main meal was/will be.

I had an enjoyable husband-less evening last night. He went night fishing with a buddy; left around five and returned after eleven.

I collected some garden veggies and made a quick stir fry with some thawed frozen shrimp, garlic, and ginger. Plus a nice glass of wine, long gab sessions with family and friends, Orange is the New Black binging, and I was a happy camper for a few hours, lol.

He sent me text videos of the water, of fish they caught (and released), of bats swooshing around the boat lights, of the sunset, and even of their hilarious banter.

So I had a great evening!

We are going grocery shopping for our trip so we will pick up something for dinner. I will stock up the fridge for my house sitter too. I have so many lists going on right now! Packing up is not a fun part of the process.

Umm salmon patty sounds good, haven't had those in ages.

I still have to figure out what I am doing and I better get at it since we eat in about 1 1/2 hours. I did cook down some pig trotters yesterday (I know so appetizing -said with sarcasm) so I might do a quick soup.

Hi Shirley, we are at a bar getting set up to play. Before we left I marinated a couple of chicken breast in olive oil lemon juice, dijon and garlic and herbs and put them on the little gril. We had quinoa salad and fresh rolls. We're in for hot humid temperatures this week end.

Its confusing because it goes against what has been the accepted common knowledge since perhaps the early 1800's. The farmers growing them and calling them yams, are wrong. The grocers selling them and calling them yams, are wrong. The companies canning them and labeling them as yams, are wrong. The people who first introduced them to the United States called them yams, perhaps to distinguish them from the different variety of sweet potatoes that were already on the market, they were wrong too. Even some sites on the web that try to explain the difference with helpful images like this one: http://www.frugallivingnw.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/yams-sweet-potatoes-is-there-a-difference-2.jpg are wrong. (hint they are all sweet potatoes, despite their labels) So it is not at all surprising that what I learned at a young age from my mother and grandmother, and which was continually re-enforced every Thanksgiving or every time I visited a grocery store, is wrong. I have never eaten a true yam in my life, and seeing some of the pictures of what a true yam look like, I probably never will. Does it harm me in any way if other people choose to call some varieties of sweet potatoes "yams", no. It merely bothers the pedantic part of me a little when someone asserts something to be a fact, when they are in fact wrong.

Just made some Caesar salad dressing and topped the salad with blackened salmon for DH. I was too tired to eat myself. Maybe in a little bit. Returned home from a golfing trip with the ladies….3 days of golf and late nights. Took one day off except for Mexican train last night and played golf today. Looking forward to a quiet weekend.

Our landlords must have made a stop in Ohio Shirley! That happens to us regularly! LOL Hubby has the urge for a ham, so we bought one today and will have that with some potatoes and green beans tomorrow. I made a pasta salad and my Asian coleslaw.

Ok, just finished chopping up the veggies and started the cooking. It's going to be split yellow pea soup with the stock from yesterday and finely chopped carrots, kale, spinach, celery, mushrooms, red & yellow pepper.

BBQing some T-bone steaks, baked taters, asparagus tips, and three cheese garlic toast. We were going to do them up last night, but a big thunderstorm was looming and I don't like BBQing in the rain! LOL

Game day at my place and we started early, so everyone contributed to lunch before we played.

I made buttermilk congealed salad,(mine was made with orange jello), and it was delicious. I ate that with pb on some crackers. We did have chicken fingers, chicken salad as well. Light and not too filling for a hot day.

Raven: You are one busy gal. I hope you have a great trip.
Littlemonkey: When I looked up pig trotters, I said no way. Now that I see you're using the stock, that does sound tasty.
Phyllis: I love it all, right down to the gingersnaps dunked in milk.
Rose: My, it all sounds great. Steak is my favorite food.
Glenda: Everything sounds like it was good. How many of you play?

Gadgets it was good. I did use a bit of the trotter meat though. It's very tender meat. I also added some fresh tomatoes then I pureed everything (except the meat, which I added at the end) because the majority of those veggies my two younger kids hate. They loved the soup though and it got rave reviews. There's enough left over that I don't have to worry about making lunch for today.
