Outside the dugout: What's cooking?

French toast just now for Monday brunch! Was down to only 3 slices of bread....and 2 of them were the heels.....

 

PM me your mailing address.....I'll save them ALL for you!

 

Well Lurk.....you'd be proud of me today. Ran into WD for a couple items and while there was thinking about grabbing some chicken. BOGO on quite a bit of it so I grabbed a couple big packets of boneless skinless chicken thighs. They're in the freezer section of the fridge in one of my storage units for now. "Filets" is what was on the label.

Another big score was I got the last package on the shelf - Oscar Meyer bun length Beef wieners. It was lying on it's back and I almost didn't see it. Whew! Potato buns to go with...

 

I love OM beef wieners. Used to get their Angus beef versions but just don't see them as much any more.

 

We are making our beef taco casserole topped with Sargento Tex-Mex shredded cheese tonight. Tostitos multi grain tortilla scoops, sour cream, and sliced fresh jalapeños will be on the side.

I picked up a box of ice cold Dos Equis Lager bottles for this afternoon/evening. Ms. Jan’s sticking with her chilled wine.

Thanks Lurk! We’ll have to try this!

 

Yeah, I didn't know what you were talking about there......

"Where's the beef!"

 

Going to get my freezer emptied out. It's not very large. Just the one inside my fridge, which is already a shorter version to fit under my cabinets. Anyhoo....this morning I pulled out a 1.5 lb. bag of Publix JUMBO shrimp. Cooked, peeled, and deveined w/tail on. I eat them with cocktail sauce.

I always look for these on BOGO when I go to Publix. You don't see it on BOGO very often, but worth looking for.

They're in my fridge now so should be ready for the big basketball game tomorrow night.

 

Tonight we’re having taco soup made with chicken instead of ground beef.

It’s very windy here the last two days with a cold front moving in over night here.

Ice cold longnecks and chilled wine are our choices for the evening.

Life is good in Gator Nation.

 

I like making Gambas Al Ajillo with frozen peeled shrimp. A Spanish tapas classic but with some good bread for mopping and a simple salad it's a great meal.

Made a feast of Indian food tonight: curry chickpeas, masala lentils, cauliflower and green beans with mixed spice, and saag (spinach).

Paired with garlic naan bread that was BOGO at Publix and various pickles and spicy sauces. Yogurt and cilantro as toppers.

Easy, cheap, and delicious as leftovers.
