Basically the same dinner as yesterday but with steak in place of salmon, lol. Everything but the dead cow meat is from our weekly farm box delivery this morning.

Easy Italian Panini sandwich with Italian bread, Black Forest Ham, Swiss cheese, turkey breast, hard salami, Italian dressing, tomato, lettuce, onion.

Iced sweet tea

Ice cream sandwich

eggplant Zucchini yellow squash
and tomatoes from the garden
with chicken breast in the crock pot

cold cantaloup for dessert

Vanilla ice cream sprinkled with walnuts and Hershey syrup for dessert.

Boneless chicken breasts cut up, marinated for several hours with oregano, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Then grilled on a counter top grill.

Leftover veggies from last night, stir fried, and leftover rice pilaf also from last night. My small home smells WONDERFUL right now.

The countertop grill is a Hamilton Beach I originally bought at Target at least 20 years ago, probably more like 25 years ago, perhaps even 30 years ago. Time does fly. I used it regularly over the years, and perhaps two years ago it simply stopped working. Wouldn't turn on at all. Well, damn. So I went off to Target and to my amazed astonishment they still had the exact same Hamilton Beach countertop grill in stock. Can't recall what it cost me, but not very much. Maybe thirty dollars? At triple that it would be a bargain. I don't use it a lot, but I love it when I do.

And no, it does not heat up the kitchen when I use it.

Pan sauce of drippings deglazed with evaporated milk. Salad. Reheated rice. Pretty basic, but it was fast, tasty, and didn't heat up the kitchen too much.
