I haven't a clue today..will leave soon, after picking up and making breakfast, for the hairdressers...will be walking around the grocery stores aimlessly for ideas...I will think of something.......hummmm, no poultry till turkey day...had speg & meatballs last week, pork and fish the week before....steak this week....beet soup a couple of weeks ago.....maybe minestrone or tomato/bean soup? or something else....
off to make oatmeal with brown sugar and milk!!!
 
Sounds good cyn. We also like oatmeal witrh brown sugar. I hope you and your dad have a good day.

I think I will be making homemade soup today. Either lentil or split pea (to be determined later) and sandwiches (tuna or grilled cheese each person can decide which at the time) for dinner.
 
Market had lovely tuna steaks, so I'll be briefly marinating those, dusting them with seasoned-flour & sesame seeds, & then searing them. Will serve with my favorite ramen noodle side:

BREEZY SESAME ZUCCHINI CARROT RAMEN NOODLES

1 medium zucchini – OR – 1 small zucchini & 1 small yellow squash
1 medium carrot
1 scallion
1 package plain Ramen noodles (or 1-2 pkges. ramen soup mix – seasoning packet discarded)
2-3 cloves garlic, chopped
Aprox. 1 teaspoon (about 1”) peeled & grated fresh ginger
Crushed red pepper flakes to taste
Soy sauce to taste
Vegetable oil
Hot sesame oil (or regular, if desired)

Wash & trim zucchini; trim & peel carrot. Cut both into small batons or matchsticks. Trim & slice scallion.

Cook ramen noodles according to package directions & drain.

In a medium/large skillet, heat a thin coating of vegetable oil & sauté squash & carrot until just barely tender. Add scallion, ginger, & garlic & stir a few times. Add drained noodles & combine gently. Add crushed red pepper flakes & soy sauce to taste & gently combine again. Serve with a drizzle of hot (or regular) sesame oil on top.
 
Those noodles sound wonderful Breezy! Would you post the recipe in the pasta forum so we'll be able to find it easier in the future? It would be greatly appreciated!
 
Had two teeny weeny roast beef sammies on two small slider size rolls.

DW had microwave pasta. I don't know how she can eat them?
GD likes them when she comes over. She grew up in the microwave age. L O L

I will have something else later this evening.

I was blowing leaves today...and doing cleanup. DD's BF is changing the facia on the house soffits. All done and wrapped with aluminum...Gutters will be here on monday.
 
A pork loin roast with California Cookings stuffed butternut squash and either asparagus or broccoli.
 
I made a ham steak with hash browns and spinach, plus some applesauce for dipping.

OH YUM Nan!! I love to pan fry smoked ham steak then fry turnip greens in the brown bits left in the pan by the ham and serve them with mashed taters. I have a ham steak but it probably go for split pea soup.
 
a little but...
we ended 13 days of work with a beautiful night in the yard. Huge fire, paddy cocktails, sauteed zucchini, sauteed mushrooms (cooked in cast iron pans on the fire), rib eye steaks, grilled corn and a beautiful wine.

Fell asleep on the swing, too! Fire was just about out, came in and enjoyed a creme brulee cake.
 
That sounds lovely, Vera.

I made a stir-fry with chicken thighs, three colors of bell peppers, celery and onions. This time I added a half tsp. of oyster sauce to the usual brown sauce I made - it made a huge difference in rounding out the flavor. DH didn't add extra soy sauce like he usually does! :smile:
