It's a packaged mix of greens, carrots, etc, to which I'll add onion and slices of pork chop which are marinating in a mix of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger.
White wine for drinking.
Choice of strawberry or caramel praline ice cream for dessert;

low and slow. It's starting to smell really good in the house. Homemade Mac and Cheese and baked beans with bacon and onion.

Might make some tiger butter for dessert. super easy to do.

Got the meaty ham hock from Easter out of the freezer yesterday. I’ve never made it before so am using this recipe:

https://stripedspatula.com/split-pea-soup-with-ham/

Edit: The soup turned out nicely! It needs some extra salt in each bowl but that’s ok. I was afraid to add too much to the pot in case the ham made it salty.

with peanuts and mung bean sprouts over lo mein.

My grandson cooked burgers on the grill, and my daughter made a chopped dill salad, and artichoke dip. I made potato salad and took some strawberries I picked this morning. She had a pound cake and topping. Yum. And coffee.

I heard that pound cake got its name because you beat a pound of butter, a pound of sugar, a pound of eggs and a pound of flour. (from a recipe book called The Weekend Chef) I don't know if that's a joke or not

Not sure where I read it, but I recall the story.

As an aside, my first pound cake failed by about 2 1/2 pounds. The densest thing I ever baked! I could've used it as a tire chock!

I made a loaf of onion bread that could have been used as a door stop lol
