For lunch I stopped in one of the many taquerias in my area and just got one taco, spicy chicken with onions, cliantro, and lime. I will never wait that long to have one of those again.

Dinner, went out to thai food and had a spat with my mother. I lost my appetite, but the curry was excellent.

Well I didn't cook these things, but that's what I ate today. Tomorrow I might make cheese crisps.

We had an Asian chicken salad made with romaine, scallions, red peppers, shaved carrots, chow mein noodles, chicken, and slivered almonds. It was topped with a ginger sesame vinagrette.

The simple meal has been practiced the last few evenings. Sunday was Chicken and dumplings with a side of cauliflower, last night was chicken and rice casserole (left over pulled chicken and stock from the night before and tonight we had Homemade Reubens and chips. Tomorrow night is stuffed cabbage rolls. Have relatives in town visiting (Uncle and Aunt are helping my cousin's wife and kids since he's currently in Iraq) so there will be a special meal of some sort one night. Still planning that one.

), Dungeness crab with drawn butter, rice pilaf, and barbecued corn on the cob. We aren't dessert eaters but if someone needs a little something sweet, there' ice cream in the freezer.

Tonight's dinner was Mexican fare. We grilled chicken and made fajitas with lettuce, corn, salsa, cheese, and sour cream for topping. As a side we had Spanish rice. Worked for all 4 of us!

Tonight for dinner we're having Chicken Croquettes. We had a lovely roasted Chicken for dinner on Sunday so with the leftover chicken from that I make croquettes. Grind the chicken on coarse blade of my kitchenaid, add a simple white sauce, a little onion, sage, fresh parsley, chicken broth and lemon juice. Form into cones and refrigerate. Then roll in flour, egg and bread crumbs. I make my own artisian bread so the ends get saved for croutons or bread crumbs, I think that's what takes this dish over the top. I have a homemade cream of chicken soup that I cook the potatoes in and in turn they really thicken up the soup so that's it's more like a sauce. Large green salad out of our garden, with peppers of every color and green onions. Probably some steamed broccoli and a nice cold beer.

The croquettes sound delicious! Are they deep-fried?

We're having pot roast tonight. It's in the oven braising and should be ready by the time I come home from tutoring my student. I browned about 5 pounds of beef chuck and added cubed potatoes, onions, celery, carrots, some leek I had leftover from earlier in the week, and some fresh thyme. I added some red wine and beef broth, fired it up to a low boil and popped it in the oven.

Now where did I hide those bay leaves????

Mezz,

That pot roast sounds outstanding!!!!!! Too bad "Wiscaaahhnson" is so far away.

It's DW and DD's GirlScout night tonight. And since never got to the store today.... it's a scavenge through things to scrape something together. Probably will end up with a plate of cheese and some crackers we bought at the Williamsburg Cheese shop last weekend.

Maybe a nice glass of vino (or three) from there as well.

I made some really delicious chicken, poblano and goat cheese enchiladas tonight.. Probably my best enchiladas yet.. my son " wasnt in the mood for Mexican food" and my husband announced before he even knew what dinner was that he had a big late lunch and probably wouldnt be hungry.. Is it just me or does that sort of thing really tick you off too? LOL I invited my neighbor over ( someone HAD to try them!) and he loved them.. went back for THIRDS! I also served chipoltle mashed potatoes and pinto beans.
