That's Not What He Got Weekend Recap
Good Monday morning to you! I hope your weekend was slow and your coffee /tea is strong to start another week. Last week the poor Mr was run through it at work. Every single day was call after call, new stuff piled on (which he's fine with but never happens in a dump like this) and a new boss was named so that's always an interesting thing to contend with even if you know them. (I've seen people go from perfectly fine to ripping off their face to reveal a reptilian creature underneath V style so I'm hoping that's not the case for the Mr.) All he wanted was a nice relaxing weekend to recoup from it all. That's not what he got. It seemed to start off fine with him suggesting a soul food place and their website was all messed up so we couldn't really place an order. He called saying their site says they're out of a ton of crap and the guy said they weren't so we thought that meant they were turning on the site. It's not on our side of town s...
I'm traveling and didn't have anything too adventurous. I did find a great hamburger joint in Birmingham, though, which will be handy to know next trip. :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, that chili sure jumped off the page! Today is cooking day, gotta go to the store! (Although I'll bet I can't find chipotle gouda here, YUM!)
ReplyDeleteYum! I am a happy girl now that asparagus is in season. Stinky pee or not, it's delicious and one of my favorite veggies!
ReplyDeleteI can see why the naan pizza is a favorite of the Mr.'s. It looks fantastic! Last time I looked for naan I couldn't find it, but I'll have another look or maybe get some in a few weeks when I'm up at my folks' house. Where they have stores with actual food instead of pseudo-groceries. I also need to stock up on chicken sausage, coffee, whatever produce is on sale that week, and get some of that better than peanut butter stuff you use.
ReplyDeleteThis week - I was so sick all week I barely ate solid food. I did drink gallons of orange juice though. Hopefully tomorrow's dinner will redeem my woeful week.
LOVE these pictures. You make me so hungry! :D
ReplyDeleteI tried a pasta & asparagus dish yesterday and it did not turn out nearly as well as yours--that alfredo sounds SO good!
ReplyDeleteOn two blogs today I found a spicy basil chicken dish. I'm going to make it tonight adding pea pods, mushrooms and bean sprouts over brown rice. So good! Shrimp with angel hair pasta and asparagus is next. Can't wait to have veggies all around.
ReplyDeleteThe salmon day jumped out at me! :raises hand for more fish nights, too:
ReplyDeleteI wonder what spinach and carrot polenta are? I shall google polenta but will put out a general guess - corn-based?
Googled! it is cornmeal. Do I just mix in spinach and carrots to the basic polenta recipe? (Staring at the first entry - Giada de Laurentil recipe)
Always LOVE your FFJs!!!
Melly- The polenta is in Trader Joe's Frozen Food section. It's a quick fix, 6 minutes in the microwave!
