Welcome! My team routinely works 12-14 hour days for weeks at a time and we've come to the realization that figuring out food after 7pm isn't worth it- we're tired and just want showers and sleep (and beverages). So we take turns doing dinners- soups, takeout pizza, roasted chickens, Taco nights etc etc. And the one thing Partner requested when I got home- charcuterie. Swiss, blueberry goat and beehive cheddar. Elk thuringer, salami, turkey, salmon and salmon dip. Cowboy candy, olives, pickled asparagus. this dip that i brought home with me,reminded me of pimento cheese. I need to engineer this because I love it, super garlicky with a little heat kick. The Simple Mills is our regular gf cracker. The TJs was new to us and worked nicely with the salmon dip.

I blame any blurry pics on the whiskey. Couple meals(steaks) made on anemic hotel burner. Couple meals made by coworkers. (Pot roast, chicken). And I made a charcuterie spread when it was my turn to feed the group. Apparently I didn't take any grilled cheese pictures despite eating them a lot. I promise they weren't as pretty or fancy as what @Maison Rustique posted earlier.

I am a huge fan of TJs. My nearest store is 6 hours away so anytime I get near one, I have to visit. These were a grown up version of Funions- not as oniony or as airy. Will definitely buy again.

Halibut, lentils, rice, peppers and onions.

I'm anxious to hear about the Tillamook cream cheese. I love Tillamook (they have a sea salt honeycomb ice cream that I'd go to blows over!).

Franz gf everything bread, turkey, dill pickles onion and mustard. Green olives and cauliflower on the side

TJs gluten free English muffin, egg, Swiss and a chicken sausage.

After a 4 weeks long work trip that was heavy on grilled cheese sandwiches and whiskey, back home to my own kitchen. Ronzoni gf pasta, Raos sauce and some chicken sausages. tonight's elk roast, potatoes and carrots

@Smithy I am so happy to see you posting here again. I'm sure there are bittersweet moments and am grateful to see you sharing your travels.

Omelet with sausage, onion and swiss. Hashbrowns.

cioppino and an unpictured lobster tail. Partners 50th this week so he's being thoroughly spoiled.

Omelet with cheddar and onion, (pork) sausage.

Down to 4 eggs this morning so off to find some- costco has none. The Chef Store had 18 eggs for $15.99 US dollars. We are doing without.

Chicken, roast broccoli and rice.

I love it too! Except without the fruit, I lean savory for nearly everything and cottage cheese definitely. I use it in lieu of dressing because-way more protein and usually less calories and I need less calories.

Workday salad- romaine, radish, onion, cauliflower, green olives, beets, roast beef and cottage cheese in lieu of dressing.

Two weekends breakfasts- omelet with sausage, mushrooms and Swiss. Second omelet cheddar and onion with sausage on the side.

Pasta bake with bear sausage, zucchini, peppers, onions, mushrooms, Rummo gf pasta,Raos sauce. Not pictured, gf garlic bread.

*raises hand* I resemble that remark!!! And thanks to the early folks on the thread I now have 20 tabs of apron options open!

I have the same one @rotuts and it's done a yeomans job for a long time. The plastic holder of the blade cracked on mine and I hold off getting rid of it in hopes of finding a replacement. I much prefer it over dragging out the big one.

I have an apron that I love that has been missing for a year. Where can one LOSE an apron? no idea but Ive not found it. Was a Christmas present many moons ago and is black with pockets and embroidered with "Be nice to me or I'll poison your food" Also have a couple heirloom very old ones from my grandmother that I cherish. I should probably dig one out and actually USE it because like @chromedome my clothing shows that I dont wear aprons enough.

While digging thru the pantry I found some forgotten cans of tuna. Not being one to waste- lunch. Mind you, I've been eating tuna that I canned, that we caught in WA, for a couple years now. Everyone that has canned their own tuna has warned us that "you'll be spoiled" and wont stomach the commercial stuff. Lord they were correct. I used to love commercial canned tuna, ate it for decades. There's 2 cans left and there is a good chance it's going to the crows.

Amen! As my mom (who was NOT a cook) used to say "eat it or make yourself a bologna sandwich". I think its a beautiful dish and plan on trying similar (without a vitamix). I'll need to add a protein for any chance of it going over well but I think the sweetness of the carrots would be fabulous as a sauce.

Mountain lion shoulder roast with a light cream mustard sauce, roasted carrots and more crispy potatoes.

Goose and gravy (goose legs pressure cooked, meat picked, onions, mushrooms, gravy) and smashed crispy potatoes, brazi bites. Usually do mashed potatoes but wasnt feeling it, the crispy potatoes are a nice change.
