Reading the past 24+ hours of this thread, my previous opinion of you is cemented, "strong woman crossing the plains', but in 2024 rather than 1860. I'm so very impressed with you, Smithy, for "holding the fort" or Princessmobile in this case. Amazing job.
All good thoughts for you and your darling.
Majorly agree. She's amazing.

@RWoodYour wedge salad is calling my name. I'm hungry for a good salad with really good tomatoes.
Mouth is healing nicely (I think). It's been easier than the last surgery. Still have a ton of stitches but since they're only on one side I can chew most anything now if I keep it on the non-stitch side. Very ready for these stitches to go away. They should dissolve in 2-4 weeks. I didn't take pictures of a lot of meals because they were mushy and boring lol.
Lasagna that I made to have ready for the day I had surgery.
Ronnie's plate
Mine lol
I got this off of Goldbelly. Heated that up the next day with some rice and more deviled eggs. I lived on deviled eggs for a few days lol.
Fast forward a bit to steak quesadillas
Regular ole hotdogs
Venison cheeseburger pizza
Ronnie wanted fried chicken. So that with Mac and cheese and cooked to death green beans
Ronnie went fishing last Friday. Wanted to get into the walleye but none to be had. Came home with white bass so I made fish piccata.
Potato salad, beans and ribs
Last night was @Ann_T's Spicy honey garlic chicken

What is happening to us that we aren't talking about this? It's Easter Sunday at 5:00 pm my time and no thread lol.
We don't do a big family thing on Ronnie's side anymore for which I'm totally fine with. So, it's the two of us. We bought a big bone in ham on sale last week but decided we wanted lamb chops so ham went in the freezer.
SV chops
Spinach/garlic/butter/parm cheese concoction
Deviled eggs
Scalloped potatoes
Maybe some artichokes...but maybe not
Key lime pie for dessert

This past week has been the Week of Shelby eating what she won't get to eat for a while starting tomorrow.
Panko fried shrimp--shrimp was on sale at Sam's. I'm sad I didn't buy more because they were really sweet and good.
Indianish carrot salad: carrots, diced roasted salted peanuts, salt, turmeric, oil, cilantro and lemon juice
to go with chicken tikka masala (is it still called that if I added peas?)
SV'd steaks, fried potatoes and salad to use up leftover fried shrimp
I ordered a few things from Goldbelly to cheer myself up lol. Subs from White House Subs. Good. You get 4 huge sandwiches that we are still eating on. Along with that I got a couple of things from Hebert's Specialty Meats-Duck and andouille gumbo and seafood étouffée. I should be able to at least eat some of the soup parts and if I can't, it's an easy meal for me to make for Ronnie.
Apple pie ice cream and a store bought cookie for dessert
Yesterday I made a lasagna for tomorrow night after my surgery. I won't feel like eating but I won't have to cook at least.
With leftover Italian sausage and sauce from the lasagna I threw together a pizza

Today’s linner …
You may know that asparagus is huge in Germany. The season starts now and is very much anticipated. I know it’s kind of unpatriotic but my first Spargel of the season didn’t come from our town, but a small village in the Palatinate. We had a chat at work the other day and my secretary told me that a farmer in her town grows the best asparagus in the region. I ordered to kilograms (at 16€/kg, which is pretty decent for the early season). So …
2 kg of very fresh asparagus, just peeled and the trimmings cooked into a braising stock with salt, sugar, lemon and butter. I eat one or two raw as a cooks treat. They burst with liquid and flavor.
Also as a cooks treat: a Duvel 🤗
Schnitzel for DW and the in-laws (the love for Spargel seems to had difficulties crossing the alps) …
The works …
New baby potatoes (Drillinge) with caraway …
Veal Schnitzel …
The star of the show, accompanied by cured pork loin (Lachsschinken), Bastīrma (kind of Pastrami), Tirolean Speck and cured pork neck (Coppa) …
Homecured salmon …
Everyone else had a Scheurebe Auslese, I had a Duvel …
Oh … and sauce Hollandaise ad libitum ☺️
And later - for the gentlemen of drinking age: Auchentoshan 18 …
No dessert. None needed. No complaints 🤗
I have no words. Every year I drool over your spargel. I'll be sure and take up the slack for the inlaws who don't want it next year

Thank you so much to each of you. I can't decide if I'm dreading it more this time because I know what's coming or what. I'm definitely taking this week to prep. I didn't do much of that the first time and I regretted it. Going back through the dinner thread during the time period of the last surgery it seems like I mostly made the same foods as I always do but added in something that I could eat. I'm going to make something like a lasagna to have for the first day so Ronnie has something and I don't have to cook because I won't feel like it. I mostly survived on wine I think LOL.
Ronnie bought some on sale Boar's Head mortadella the other day. No pistachios, just black pepper corns. I didn't want it to go to waste so google to the rescue. Anthony Bourdain's Mortadella Sandwich --I browned the meat like the recipes says but did the rest on the panini maker. And I added some decent sliced cherry tomatoes.
For dessert Mae Dawson's Hoosier Sugar Cream Pie a recipe I ran across that @Ann_T posted back in 2019.

I don't remember the price--maybe 2.99/ lb? --nothing majorly cheap. No, the sale price was before St. Pat's.

Beautiful fish, @Ann_T. I need to clean the top of my stove but before I do you've inspired me to fry some up too.
Life is once again throwing things at me. Long story short the bone loss that was occurring in my mouth did not benefit from the painful and expensive laser surgery that I got a few years ago and I'm now having to get another tooth pulled and another bone graft. Eventually after it heals for many months I'll be having a post put in and then eventually a tooth. I'm so upset and frustrated I can't even express it. This week I gotta peruse old threads and write down ideas for foods I made back then and was able to eat. So the next several days I'm gonna eat what I won't be able to eat for a while.
Arrrrgh!!!!!
On to food:
SV'd pork tenderloin
Bierocks
Avocado salad, quesadillas and RG beans
Ronnie smoked a chicken. Been craving that.
Scalloped potatoes and salad to go with
Pepperoni pizza for Pi day
Smoked chicken paninis
Fried chicken (lotta chicken going on again)
Chicken taco salad with stuffed poblanos
SV'd papain free corned beef. 24 hrs at 155F
@Mmmpompsroasted potatoes
and the usual vegetables
Reubens
Roasted chicken and pasta
Venison spaghetti red

Smaller grocery store had CB's on sale--limit of two with $20 additional purchases. Papain free. Decided to SV. Went for 24 hours at 155F. Turned out really good.
Went back and bought a couple more for the freezer.

It doesn't really go in this thread, but -- Shelby, it made me think of you. It's true that I don't know you or Ronnie in all the ways that matter for this, but I immediately thought, OMG KANSAS KIDS COULD GET A MODULE FROM YOU TWO!!! Plus, Chum . . . .
Well I sure wish this had been around when I was in school! Learning how to clean and butcher and cook --invaluable lessons.
Thanks for sharing this.

If you can make the Moose Farts, then I should make this pie. But, I'll use Biscoff cookies since I have them in my freezer.
🤣
We need to come up with a cooler name like Moose Farts......
If I remember right @Kim Shookmade this too and liked it. It's really refreshing on a hot summer day.

I believe it was roasted peppers and avocado. It was very tender.
Yessterday we spent the day snorkeling again, this time on the opposite side of the island. We saw lots of coral and sea life, but no octopus. I have not checked those photos yet. The ones from the day before came out great.
Dinner was at the fine dining area of the resort. Here’s the menu. Dinner specials
drinks
food
setting
Husband had the king crab and grits
and I had the scallops
They were both delicious but we got bombarded with flies. Not no see ums but actual flies. It was awful. They ended up moving our table but it did not help much. I asked them to hold our main courses until the sun went down to see if that would help. It did, but the experience was extremely irritating and put a big damper on the meal. One of the hazards of eating outside I guess.
After sunset they brought the main courses. Post sunset view
Husband had the mahi mahi special
And I had the catch of the day (yellowfin tuna) with the chorizo eliminated from the hash
We shared a bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream for dessert
and were treated to the sight of a Space X launch! If they had not moved our table to a different area we would have missed it. No one else dining at the restaurant saw it but us. Our server saw me pointing up and taking pictures so came over and caught some of it but missed the rocket part.
Today is our last full day. We might go back over to St. John for dinner, we will see.
What an awesome picture of the launch!!! You could win an award!!

@Maison RustiqueI'm thinking of you (((hugs)))
@HonkmanBeautiful pork
SV'd beef steak, @Mmmpomps's roasted potatoes and tomatoes and green beans done in the IP
Turned leftover tomatoes and green beans into veggie noodle soup with ham and Swiss toasties
Pepperoni, mushroom and olive
SV'd lamb chops
Ham and beans with cornbread. Blueberry/strawberry galette for dessert
Ronnie said he felt like eating fish for dinner yesterday. I didn't want to fry it....and we just had fish piccata ....I remembered I had some leftover broth from cioppino last time so I rummaged in the freezers. I found mussels, halibut pieces, scallops and squid. I get nervous doing squid. Ronnie doesn't much care for it unless it's fried--and fried well, not fried rubber bands. I ran across a recipe for doing it in the IP. Saute onions and garlic. Add squid (cut into circles) and tentacles (sorry mom--she does not like things with tentacles lol), salt, pepper and a some red Chile flakes. Cook for 4 mins. Add half a jar of my canned tomatoes. High pressure for 22 mins. QR. SO tender. I wasn't going to put it all in the stew, but I did and Ronnie loved it.
Garlic cheese toast to go with

Wow! I'm having some envy over here. I'm not peopley either so that looks heavenly to me. And, I've never seen lobster in guacamole--tucking that in the back of my mind if I ever get the chance to have it!

Just a quick shout-out to @Shelby - these are what we call "Fries that are not lonely!"

My fries were only children and learned how to play by themselves
