What’s for Dinner Tonight?

Let's see...
Friday we met some friends for happy hour so we shared some Thai apps and DH had curry (I think).
Saturday I made ham and potato soup, with rolls and salad. The Little Guy came for overnight so dessert was Too Much Popcorn (while we watched Brave).
Sunday we went out for beer and burgers. DH and I worked all day on Sat and Sun, and I just didn't feel like creating a kitchen mess.
Tonight, even though it's raining, we are going to grill southern style pork ribs, with corn on the cob and salad. These were originally planned for Saturday and it didn't happen, so we have to get them cooked and eaten.
 
Busy weekend was a blur. Saturday I did manage to pick up my annuals for the front flower bed and replacement shrubs for the side of the front steps. Also might have picked up yet another hydrangea to replace a different variety that isn't happy with its spot and has underperformed the past two years. That and other errands didn't leave much time for making dinner so I cranked out a BLT for DH and scrambled a couple eggs with toast for me.

Yesterday was parent errands and chores, but I did manage to make a very tasty batch of beef burgundy. Apparently the smell really carried because I had a couple windows cracked to air out the house and two neighbors actually asked DH what was for dinner. Luckily the end result managed to live up to the aroma.

Today I'll just bake up a couple pieces of cod with lemon and some breadcrumbs, season up some jasmine rice and sautee some squash and zucchini.
 

I had to stay home today, since I could barely get out of bed. I had a BP check up today that was scheduled a couple months ago. So glad I had it bc Dr. gave me 800mg Motrin and a muscle relaxer. DH had to go to Boston today so who know when he’ll get home. 😩
So easy peasy spaghetti and meatballs tonight.

Made stir fry with pork belly and the last of a variety of veggies: ratatouille, pea pods, and asparagus.
Added a few shiitake mushrooms just to see how it “played” with the other veggies. Tbh, the texture was fine but the taste was too strong. Maybe a milder ‘shroom next time.

Well my luggage is packed excepting a few last minute items for the toiletry bag; do that Tuesday morning. With time on my hands, decided to get my nails done. Maybe gels just for the novelty. Last week I bought “minimal makeup” from Sephora so why not let the fingertips join the 🎉, lol.
