What's for dinner ( or lunch )

French bread pizza for me for lunch today.

20260414_192144.jpg I had some bread to use up, a block of mozz I hadn't even touched since I bought it awhile back, and had just gotten some good deli ham so it seemed the natural thing to make.

Got it nice and crispy, prob doesn't show that well. I generally don't do French bread pizzas, I like naan, flatbread, thin crusts, etc. but it turned out really tasty.
 
I have a sausage pasta made up that will likely be one meal today but I also got out a pork chop that I want to get used, have some asparagus to use so that will likely be the other meal, if I have two meals that is. Sometimes one is enough. The pasta will keep fine for now so will prob be the pork chop first. With asparagus. I may or may not put some kind of potatoes with it. That tends to be too much for me if a big meal so maybe not.

Still, I may make some up for the rest of the week (potatoes), not sure yet.

I also have some deli ham to use up... And a couple of different cheeses... I don't like to waste things if I can help it.
 
Well I did go ahead and parboil some potatoes. Don't know if I will use today but now I can fry them up quick or roast them, etc. They keep for a long time in frig. When they cool, I'll season them up with a bit of oil and whatever spices I feel like. I do it ahead before refrigerating, they take on the flavors well then imo.

Might have some with the pork chop and asparagus or not. Not sure yet. Have other things to do. I might marinate the chop but haven't gotten around to it yet.
 
Nothing fancy here today. I did clean out my frig freezer and got out some meatballs I made (not purchased, homemade) and hope to make my Hawaiian meatballs. Will see if I get around to it.

I did get around to fried potatoes, pork chop and asparagus last night.

I do have a bag of frozen fried rice, never tried it before but trying to make some room and use some things up so that too I might do next/soon.
Today I haven't had much. Not much worth mentioning anyhow.

I've never had frozen rice....either... I always imagined might taste a bit watery

yeah I'll try to remember to report on how it is. never have had either.

however, i have frozen my own cooked rice and eaten it, it's not watery. at all. in fact i usually add a bit of moisture to reheat it. unless one has a freezer that ices up things in the bag, or package, etc. it generally is not watery.
 
Tonight I had Chicken breast in tempura batter... and baked beans....

I was initially going to have shellfish ( praws) ... but I just wasn't in the mood for it... so chicken and beans it was....

Trouble is I was really hungry again just a few minutes ago so I nipped downstairs and made myself scrambled egg on toast
 
I hadn't bought Cheese Whiz ever in my life but loved it as a child on saltines. In talking to a friend the other day, it came to mind and I was doing a grocery delivery so added it on.... I hadn't had it in decades. So that's what I had for supper. Hardly healthy or anything that interesting and it was okay BUT I don't know if our taste buds change or what as we age, it wasn't as superior as I used to feel it was. It was good don't get me wrong, but I used to consider it such a treat as a child.

Have had a bit of a rolling stomach recently and it was fine for that, didn't upset anything. I just didn't think it as tasty as I thought it was. I'll use it or finish it on or in something for sure, but what i'm going to do with the hot honey I'm not sure. That sure was not what it was cracked up to be.

I had a meal I could have eaten instead but again, wanted something mild. Cheese Whiz on saltines did work out well for that.
 
I had lunch in the pub today....here...

...so for dinner tonight, I only had fruit & cheese... banana and seedless cotton candy grapes....with some blue cheese
 
I made my version of taco pie - probably not what most think it is. Just something I thought up.

Brown a pound of ground beef and season to taste with salt, red pepper, garlic & onion powder and cumin (add in any combo). When fully browned, add a jar of medium corn & bean salsa, Cook until heated through Line the bottom of an 8 x 8" pan (that was liberally sprayed with non-stick) with corn tortillas. Spoon half the beef mixture over that. Add another layer of tortillas and spoon the rest of the beef mixture over that. Finish off with another layer of tortillas and sprinkle shredded cheese on tip. Bake 30 minutes at 350F.

If I make it again I am going to shed the tortillas so they lay more evenly on the dish. They got dried out on the edges, so were tough.

that sounds great. I will give it a try but I think I will add a layer of refried beans and cheddar cheese to each layer. I think I would serve with some shredded lettuce and salsa. Thanks for the great idea!
 
I have some spaghetti meat sauce simmering. I also had to go out to run errands this morning a couple of towns over. They have a fish place so I stopped and got some fried fish filets and hushpuppies.

They freeze well so I can have a treat when I want. I would be in trouble if there was a fish place on every corner like @hollydolly has access too.
