What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[TippyThomas]

Leftover salad today. Added mesclun to the chicken pesto to fluff it up a bit. A cup of cream of broccoli soup lowered the amt of freezer goods and still perks my appetite.

Have garbanzo and Great Northern beans to finish soaking and simmer for the freezer. Planned to make soups with them (I could live off of soup exclusively, lol) but plans have changed for the good.
In the next week or so I’m off to France and possibly UK courtesy of youngest son. He’s in charge of booking everything and my only responsibility is to have my bags packed ASAP. I know I’ll be in Normandy because his cousins own a home there via their dad and that’s where they spend August vacations generally. Only disappointment is DGD will already have started school in Paris. Other than that I’m an extremely happy woman.

Have a wonderful time!

We are on our way to pick up a new car, so we stopped at Shake Shack. They just opened it nearby.

Do you use chicken thighs?

I too like to add some red pepper flakes to almost everything. Sometimes, I go a little overboard and my wife is usually the first one to notice

I do. They can stand up to a long cook and not dry out.

I made teriyaki salmon with oven roasted zucchini, summer squash, and peppers. For dessert we have flour-less zucchini brownies from the Skinnytaste website. They came out really good!

DH says you've convinced him to try the fried chicken for lunch the next time we're up North.

On another note, I mentioned to him that you said Bojangles is different in the North, than they are in the South. What's different about them?


I agree. Everything she cooks sounds delicious.


I'm curious. Why do they close, after Labor Day, then reopen for Columbus Day? Also, when do they close down completely for the winter & when do they reopen? It seems we're never up there the right time of year.

Those Bojangles up north have NO bone in fried chicken, NO beans, and NO pork bbq. It’s basically a Raising Canes. You gotta go south for a REAL Bojangles.
