What are taco papers, and where can I buy them?I'm totally with you Peep! I buy the "taco" papers from restaurant supply to keep the annoyance to a minimum.
I buy them at US Foods Chef's Stores (Originally, Smart & Final and more recently, Cash & Carry...and a number of names in between that I don't remember...LOL). Any restaurant supply store should have something like them. See below...
I picked up a couple of new plates at Walmart. Divided. I like them. DH likes them too. They worked well for tonight's meal.

For brunch I'm having some "Sass Ganoush" lol
On a warm pita.
I have no idea where Jules wants to eat today.
She did say she feels like splurging on something she hasn't had in a while

Those plates are perfect for that kind of meal, Ginny! Love the idea of topping the pulled pork with fried onion rings!

I have one that's similar; except it has one more hole, for the Index finger ... sometimes, it's on the one hand, sometimes on the other: Sometimes, I wish I had bought TWO...
Okay, enough about anything bu dinner, lol !

Hi Lee
Apologies for the late reply—I was caught up with quite a bit last week.
I found a very helpful page that shows how to make stuffed vine leaves, and you can check it out here:
BEST Stuffed Grape Leaves (Dolmas)
Expert tutorial to help you make the BEST stuffed grape leaves recipe or dolams w/ a flavor-packed rice & meat mixture w/ warm spices & loads of fresh herbs
www.themediterraneandish.com
It’s a great guide with pictures and tips if you're looking for a detailed recipe.
However, I made a few changes to suit my own preferences. I added about 1 cup of cooked split peas to the filling for a bit of extra texture and protein. Instead of using fresh tomatoes, I used tomato paste—sautéed it briefly in a little oil and then added it to the water in the pot for extra depth of flavor. I also left out the black pepper, allspice, and cumin. And to give the dish a slight sweet-and-sour note, I added both lemon juice and a little sugar to the cooking water.
Hope that helps!
Jules actually wants to go to KFC?!?
No problem, it's her choice.
I'm going to be chicken'd out!

Tonight it’s Tuna Ventresca sandwiches. I boiled the eggs and she is going to get baguettes on way home from John’s.
Last night we had Cesar salad, leftover spaghetti from freezer, and strawberry crepes. The crepes came from Safeway.

Do you remember where you got the brace? I can only find one or the other not with both fingers.

It was the Warden's... not sure where she got it...
Wal-Mart sells the same style, but without the copper feature...
Jules got her fix!
Emma came with us as she's spending the night with Jules.
I got strips and coleslaw with comeback sauce. Emma ate my biscuit, plus she had nuggets and waffles etc.

Scallops, Shrimp, Mushrooms, & a glass of Milk.
I'm making Mary's Mac & Cheese and I'll likely make some meatballs of some sort too. I like Mary's recipe because it uses fewer pots/pans as there is no roux to make. In other words, it is easy! 
Yes, it calls for Velveta, don't knock it if you haven't tried it. And Cheddar too, recipe says to buy it shredded, but I prefer to shred it myownself.

We are sorta finally getting back to cooking some half way decent meals on a daily basis.
The living room was a mess while doing new walls and chair rail updates.
The kitchen will be next for updates.
Today we had pizza, and a big bowl of a garden salad. We did have the easter dinner, but that was the last real cooking that we did. Actually, yesterday the Mrs. made a pot of stuffed cabbages. Sunday is DIL's birthday, so we will be cooking for Sunday's dinner.

Good dinner and enough leftover to take to mom and freeze for future meals too! Win-win.I'm making Mary's Mac & Cheese and I'll likely make some meatballs of some sort too. I like Mary's recipe because it uses fewer pots/pans as there is no roux to make. In other words, it is easy!
Leftovers today!

Last night was tuna ventresca sandwiches. They were quite fishy tasting but I loves it. Next trip to Westport I’ll get a few more cans. I did have a bag of chips beside me - we ate in front of tv and are watching Slow Horses again.

I saw this at the store & bought it. Instructions said
vent bowl, Microwave 2 1/2 minutes, then stir, recover
& Microsoft another 2 1/2 minutes.
I microwaved 2 1/2 minutes, uncovered stirred &
tasted it. A lot of juice, not much of anything else.
Well, I am adding the rest of my fried rice from the
other day & the last 3 tiger Shrimp I had left in the bag.
I'll post a pic later. I'm defrosting my shrimp.
