Dinner out with my husband at Abe's Cajun Market & Cafe in Houston tonight. So much more than I thought I had ordered! The fries, cornbread and hush puppies were not listed on the menu. Plus, not pictured, a side salad and a cup of crawfish etouffee. Leftovers in the fridge.

Cooked on stove?

Chicken Fried Rice

My no name cast iron skillet has the same dimensions and weighs 8 oz. less than the field skillet. I found mine several years ago in an antique/resale shop for $25. So no, I will not be getting one.

I had a couple of tomatoes that needed to be used, so I made... ...a bowl of Tomato Basil Soup.

Grilled Chicken Thighs, Ginger Citrus Rice and Steamed Broccoli

Too funny! Leftovers will be long gone, but I have been told the southward migration of shorebirds is well under way.

Meatloaf with Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans

Bacon, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Tacos

Warm from the oven Sourdough for dipping in herbed olive oil Caesar Salad Shrimp Cocktail

I Love Tacos!

Sous Vide Bone-In Beef Ribeye, finished on the grill,... ...and served with Onion Rings, Teriyaki Mushrooms and Steamed Broccoli.

Chicken 'Curry' Stew with Potatoes and Carrots

They are definitely primo and can be a meal all by themselves!

Sunday Lunch at Tookie's Hamburgers & More in Seabrook with my husband. We shared an order of Mama Ethel's Onion Rings I had the Chicken Strips, Country Style with Gravy and my husband had the Squealer - an 8 oz. Beef Patty blended with Bacon.

He took this photo the other day and said I should share it on this topic. No need to dirty a plate when a paper towel will suffice!

'Instant Pot' Risotto with Duck, Mushrooms and Water Chestnuts

Pan-Seared Duck Breast and Cherry Sauce with Mashed Parsnips

Thick Bone-In Center Cut Pork Loin Chops cooked Sous Vide and Finished on the Grill

I am not a fan of jelly, but my other half is and he prefers his pb&j open face with Jif Creamy Peanut Butter on regular white bread topped with lots of Welch's Concord Grape Jelly. He said he could make one right now, for me to take a photo, but I said that was not necessary.
