Salad with poppy seed dressing later.

Good Evening

...mashed potatoes, Swiss chard, and Caesar salad.

Store-bought carrot cake for dessert.

leftover rye toast/butter, fudgesicles for dessert. the beef is leftover mesquite grilled sirloin. should give a little smokey flavor. guess I better get to it so it can simmer a while. broth is from a carton this time. I had to drive to Tucson today.

almost forgot tomato, cuke, feta, dill, sweet onion, salad! love it so much with homemade or bottled Caesar dressing

How much I love Caesar dressing. I think I’ll make some tomorrow. If I buy Marie’s, I add more Hellmans and grated parm, plus more coarsely ground black pepper.

I have laid in a good supply of mayo, though, so I’ll probably make my own.

homemade or Marzetti's is better, though a new brand showed up at Safeway over xmas - Cardini's (original Tijuana restaurant?) but also seems to be owned by Marzetti's according to label. both good but slightly different taste.

Bought some freshly made, thinly sliced seitan “turkey” from a local vegan restaurant which they also sell for take out, along with their homemade gravy. I heated it up with the gravy and made a baked stuffing with whole wheat bread cubes, celery, onion, mushrooms and herbs. Also had freshly made applesauce and steamed green beans. Comfort food night.
