Got busy yesterday so I didn't get around to posting the salad with grilled chicken, & corn dinner. Had a hankerin' for English muffins, so I whipped up a batch last night. Tonight I got home at 5:30, so it was breakfast for dinner. DW had fluffy scrambled eggs and I had a cheese omelet so I could use up the last of the Mozzarella. I shredded 1-1/2 Idaho potatoes so we could have fresh hash browns.

chili with beans today. I had mine with shells macaroni. Lousy... not a good match; should have used spaghetti.
Tomorrow I want hot dogs with peppers and potatoes and onions.
I am thinking of the dogs sliced thinly the entire lengthwise. fried with the onions nice and slow so the dogs caramelize with the onions.
Some crinkle cut potatoes coated with oil and butter, and baked in the grill outside.
Steam the peppers till soft; then puree and to the hot potatoes.
Build the sandwiches on buttered and warmed rolls.... add some white mild cheddar cheese and mustard.....Ummmmm!!!

, but I haven't decided yet.
I bought scallops today so will be trying bacon wrapped scallops with corn on the cob and fresh peas. A friend sent me this recipe for them and I can't wait to try them. Don't know who they are kidding about 15 servings. 1lb. is for tonight and the other lb. of scallops goes in the freezer for later.

We are having something simple tonight. T bone steaks with bow tie pasta with a spinach pesto. As for the steaks I cooked in Ghee and added garlic lemon butter to it before it was finished.
Here is the recipe for the pesto.
Spinach Pesto
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups fresh spinach leaves (you can also use Arugula or a combination of spinach with it)
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
1 garlic clove
1/4 cup pine nuts or walnuts (prefer roasted walnuts)
1 teaspoon dried basil (I used a 1/2 cup of fresh since I have it)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup virgin olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste (I didn't need the salt)
INSTRUCTIONS:
Combine spinach, parsley, garlic, nuts and basil in a blender or food processor. Blend with pulsing action to mix. Add cheese and whirl for 15 seconds. With the machine running, slowly add the olive oil. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Continue to process until pesto reaches desired consistency. Allow pesto to stand for about 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to develop.
Makes about 1-1/2 cups of pesto.

Spaghetti pizza sounds good!
I don't like spaghetti pie. It's sweet spaghetti. No Likey!
The spaghetti sandwich on toast.....the best taste with the spaghetti at room temp. Not too much sauce. Butter the toast first.
We used to eat string bean sandwiches and Broccoli sandwiches too!
luv those pierogies, jimmy.

I guess I'm not the only one then that finds pine nuts pretty tasteless. I much prefer walnuts or peanuts in a pinch to most other nuts.

I baked a turkey breast for Tina to take to her Uncles tomorrow.
I made us each an omelet with onions .

I had mine drizzled with tobacco sauce. Hot Hot Hot!
Made heated up pierogi and chicken soup for GD.
I'm gonna be a nice guy, and slice the turkey breast for the Uncle and Aunt.

We picked down the rotisserie chicken and made stir fry teriyaki. Had a homemade blueberry muffin from my old blueberry lady. Been buying berries from her for over ten years and always take other folks to her place for berries and peaches. She has to be pushing 80 years old and is still going strong. Then the wife got me some smoked dried beef from my butcher. I have been on him for months to make some more and he finally did. She brought a lb. home and I called them up and reserved 2 more. Dang stuff is addicting. Got 1/4 lb. eaten already.
she made me have most of her soup. & keep her change. we split sammiches. my Mom- she rocks.

MAY AS WELL BE! My taste buds are shot from being an X smoker. Quit 3 1/2 years now! .... I use an e-cig to get my nicotine in small amounts. Vaping.Is that tobacco sauce for ex-smokers???
That was a typo... on the Tobacco....should be tobasco.
I have done tobacco sauce when I would Chew wads of Apple Jack or Red Man
