Random Meal

Tonight my husband and I had:

Chicken breast with garlic, onion and sage seasoning.

A few pieces each of homegrown okra – cooked with the chicken.

A few black olives that needed to be finished off – also cooked with the chicken.

Tortillas, warm with butter.  (Tortillas were bought raw and home cooked, which is still way better than pre-cooked.)

Sugar baby watermelon – also homegrown.

It was a bit of an unusual combination, but I was busy baking, which overlapped the dinner preparation time somewhat.  I really needed to get the tortillas cooked and used up, as well as the okra.  The watermelon also needed to be finished off.  So, it was a little of this and a little of that. :-)  But, it was turned out well.  Warm, freshly cooked tortillas and butter are really good together too, by the way.

What was for dinner/supper at your house?

Random Meal

Tonight we ate dinner with the family.  Over the last months we have been eating together more as a family here on our joint 10 acres.  Sometimes it’s only 4 of us, but all 6 of us have been making the effort to eat together more than we used to.  I think this is a good thing.  (In case you don’t know, there are 3 couples – my parents, my husband and I on our 5 acres; and my brother and his wife on the adjoining 5 acres.  And, yes, we live in three separate houses, so we have family close, but we all have our space.)

Tonight we had:

Roast beef (grass fed) cooked in my parents’ new Sun Oven.

Tomato pipe wafers cooked by me in my sister-in-law’s newish deep fryer.  (It’s a very nice one, and this was the first time I used it.)

Mashed potatoes – with the skins in. 

Cooked carrots.

Salad with homemade dressings.

Water and decaf iced tea.

Homemade No Bake Cookies made with Special Dark cocoa powder.

And, as usual around here, lots of conversation! :-)

Random Meal – A lunch

Just for fun I thought I’d try to post an occasional meal “menu”. :o)

My lunch – Fried egg cooked with leftover chicken noodle stew (it was too thick to be soup ;-) ) made with whole grain pasta; baby carrots, and a slice of mozzarella with homemade orange marmalade on it.

My husband’s lunch – Cheese and home grown lettuce on whole grain bread, peanuts and raisins (or maybe it was dried cranberries), and a homemade granola bar.
