Maison Rustique

Now I have a new place on my to-go list. Thanks for letting us know about Edisto Island, @Katie Meadow. A friend dropped off some fresh herbs from her garden yesterday morning. I planned to have some with tomatoes and cottage cheese for supper since I had my leftover half burger for lunch. Well, turned out my cottage cheese had gone bad. So, I pulled out a Snapdragon instant pho and made it with a spoonful of the leftover sitr-fry from a couple of nights ago. Was tasty but I still need to eat my herbs. Soon.

The Boston Celtics game was coming on at 6 pm, so it was fast food for me.

Make an Asian peanut salad dressing!!

@gulfporter, I saved that Moroccan Chicken Thigh recipe and just like that, my food gifting friend showed up with a huge package of chicken thighs for me. Now I just need to shop for the rest of the ingredients and wait until this rainy spell is over so I can grill them.

Like @MetsFan5, I do it with mustard frequently. Well, more frequently when I was going through mustard faster.

I've never had the stovetop burners degrade, but twice I've had the oven burners go bad--two different ovens. The second one literally fried--I saw a flash in the oven and shut it down quickly. The guy who came to repair it said I was lucky not to have had a serious fire. Who knew this kind of stuff could happen! And they say gas ranges are bad for you. Hunh!!!

@Smithy, I swear we must be related. My freezers are the same. I have been an over-buyer for decades. I remember my Mom asking once if she had somehow made me food-insecure because I was a food hoarder. I did go through some times in my adult life as a newly divorced single person when I lived on fried egg sandwiches because that was all I could afford. I think it might be more of a FOMO--I see something new or interesting and worry that I'll never find it again so need to buy it even if I have no plans to cook/eat it. I'm not sure how I got like this, but I'm really trying to change my ways.

I had the tortilla shapers, had not used them in over 5 years, so donated them recently.

I found what is supposed to be their recipe. Pretzel Shortbread

Me, too!!

I subbed blue cheese for the Parm and used my own pecans & freeze-dried blueberries.

Porotta topped with bacon, eggs, cheese and tomatoes.

Those marinated beans sound great. Thanks for posting that recipe. I've got some Rancho Gordo limas that need to get used one of these years, so maybe I'll try that. Good use of all your need-to-gos!!

Somehow I suspect for many, the little bags are just something to brag on social media that they were able to get. I have to wonder how many of these bags are just going to get stuffed into storage closets.

I'm also not a fan of sweet potato salads. And we must be on the same wavelength. I just bought a box of Triscuits and I couldn't tell you the last time I did. And, I had no idea prickly pear fruit were called tunas!!
