1. Sounds amazing!

I'm having a rare weeknight evening out with my wife and friends at a local institution, Edo's Squid. Amazing Italian fare.
Will probably split the pasta carbonara and the sesame crusted seared tuna steak.

2. Ham

Spiral ham (honey glazed)
Baked sweet potatoes
Pasta - Shells and cheese from a box
Stewed apples from fresh
Yeast dinner rolls from frozen dough balls.

A very low effort meal to put together.

Ducky's best buddy is coming over and he usually figures it out, but not this time. I think he listens to us (when he wants to) and figures it out. We have studiously avoided discussing a visitor. He'll be really surprised when his buddy shows up.

4. Ever add broccoli to M&C?

[surrealAmerican]

6. yes, but peas are more to my preference .

Back in the day, I always added celery and mushrooms. It's been a while since I've done that.
I've become more lactose sensitive in recent years, so I rarely eat Mac and cheese anymore.

7. Snap Pea Steam-Fry

Steam-fried in evoo and veggie broth: chopped onion, yellow bell pepper, trimmed snap peas, sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. When done I added air-fried tofu cubes, cooked brown rice, and vegan butter. Crumbled seitan bacon on top after plating. Cheers!🥂

8. Pork ribs from Portillos

Normally, I rarely ever get food from restaurants, but someone had given me a gift card to Portillo‘s which was going to expire at midnight tonight, so I had to use it. Yeah, I’m in the Chicagoland area, and if you know about Portillo‘s ribs (if you know you know ) they are excellent. Also, no dishes tonight!

9. I'm making bilogi with top sirloin that was on sale today.

I probably spelled that wrong... Besides onion, I'm adding matchsticks of green pepper and red bell pepper to it. I needed something to eat that had some real flavor and a few healthy additions added to it. My daughter in law can't cook worth a darn. And I need to talk to her about it. What she's putting together isn't bad, but she leans on the frozen tyson chicken tenders, and other processed foods like that. I'd like to teach her about food... real food. But it's a slow go... especially when I'm still laid up with a bad knee/leg.

10. Maybe you, her & your son could watch a few cooking shows?

I browse Instagram & there are >numerous< ppl who do quick & healthy food.
