Maison Rustique

I spent most of my supper time throwing together a pasta salad to take to the new house because I've had a bad habit of going there to work and not eating all day. I'm running on empty. So, taking the salad over to have something to rely on when I'm there. (No pix) So, I had cooked some RG mayocobas day before. Supper was some rice topped with mayocobas and a little cheese with some Campari (Costco) tomatoes.

You all are killing me with these pizzas!! I might need take-out tonight.

I defrosted some turkey soup the other day and hadn't felt like eating soup since. I kept wishing it was chicken and noodles like Mom used to make. Sadly, I didn't have any noodles. So, I give you turkey and orrechiette.

Last night was a classic example. I could not think of anything I really wanted to eat. I pulled out a gently-expired package of pre-cooked Jasmine rice and had it buttered with tomato and citrusy garlic seasoning. Photo in the Dinner thread.

Couldn't think of a single thing I really wanted to eat last night. Settled on buttered Jasmine rice with tomato and citrus y garlic seasoning.

Last night's freezer-cleaning find was bacon cheese potato soup.

Trying to work my way through the freezer. Defrosted an unmarked container. Turned out to be black-eyed peas. Wouldn't be my first choice for a hot summer day, but it was tasty!

@Smithy I was thinking cook a couple of slices of bacon, , waffle and an egg. Pile egg & bacon on top of waffle.

I just realized I should take this to the new house to use until I get all my regular stuff moved. I'll have a couple of months of going back and forth and it would be good to be able to do quick grilled cheese or whatever instead of running out for fast food. Frozen waffles maybe.

I said crackers and cheese above, but then realized that lately it has been a sandwich (whole wheat) with butter, cheese and lots of dill pickles.

Yes, in the same boat. I generally have crackers and cheese when all else fails.

I actually cooked! Italian sausage, a little diced potato, mushrooms, diced tomatoes, various herbs/spices. Baked a bit, then topped with spinach and cheese and browned.

It was fast food for me last night. Air-fried chicken breast strips and sauteed ginger garlic vegetables from a kit. Quick and easy and pretty tasty. After supper, my neighbor popped over with one of her daughter's pastry boxes. So, peach croissant for dessert. Yum!!

Now I need to work in a trip to TJ to get the St. Michel cookies. Costco doesn't have the ones I love right now and those look pretty close. And I was happy to see the Fromage Pave mentioned in the video. I could eat that every day! But TJ doesn't always have it here.

Sorry all went at once, but congrats on great new appliances! I have 2 old fridges. Neither works well anymore--both need new gaskets. I keep the doors on the freezers taped to try to hold them closed a bit tighter. Since I'm moving sometime in the near future, I don't want to replace them right now. I'd rather wait to see what I need in a new place.
