Parmesan crusted rib eye pork chops, garlic sour cream mashed potatoes, but tonight the green veg is asparagus with fresh squeezed lemon. I'm still to nauseous to eat right now.

Good dinner

Garden salad with spinach and broccoli and some cold left over salmon. Dressing was a low fat no sugar creamy poppy seed.

Jambalaya from the freezer warmed up with a dollop of sour cream and some dashes of tobasco on top.

We got a HUGE one from the food pantry a couple of weeks ago. It was frozen. Al had a tool to cut the frozen roast into 4 smaller ones.

We'll have that w/ mashed potatoes and steamed carrots & cauliflower.

Brownies for dessert.




Dad had a breaded/baked pork chop, macaroni and cheese, and sauteed Brussels sprouts (w/ onions and garlic)

where it maintains safe temp, you can cut up a roast and refreeze the portions, rather than try to hack thru a huge frozen block of meat.

bar food. And had the best chicken wings anywhere and a salad with baby lettuce strawberries, blueberries, and Feta...there are other things which I have forgotten. It is dressed with a vinaigrette and called the French kiss. I also had pizza but the chicken wings are huge so the pizza came home in a box...and they have fresh lemonade too...tasted good! My taste is getting better. I am gluten-free so it is nice to have a place that serves quality food that I can eat.
