Pretty sure I bought one, but I have no idea where it is and know I haven't used it.

I have that black garlic and forgot I had it. I need to dig it out of the pantry and use it.

We just love a thick pork chop. Our local butcher gets his pork from one local supplier and it is very very good. His thick pork chops are a weekday favourite when fried off in sage butter. Belly pork is a Sunday lunch for me and the wife. Bone-in pork loin is one of our special roast dinners for visitors.
I love thick pork chops, too. If I didn't lose it in my latest PC disaster, I'll share a favorite recipe when I can find it.

My food-gifting friend showed up yesterday with a ton of Mexican food. He was doing a segment for one of the local TV stations on the KC Taco Trail and I got to enjoy some of the benefits. I already had Italian leftovers from Saturday night, so I now have enough food to last me at least a week and maybe even more.
I gorged myself on this last night.

My sister and her hubby were here yesterday afternoon/evening and took me out for an early supper at Osteria Bianchi a local place that is very good. It was a perfect weather day so we sat outside. The only photo I took was of my sis, her husband and wine. Everyone thinks my sister and I are the same person or twins, so it is almost like seeing me, except that I just got my haircut so hers is considerably longer than mine. Ha! I always love that since she's 9 years my junior. Anyway, I got so involved in enjoying the weather and wine that I forgot to take pix of food. We shared many things and had a couple of specials not on the menu--Little Gem Caesar salad, an eggplant pizza, a rolled lasagna noodle thing and the corn/mushroom pasta. And olive oil cake. My fridge is full of leftovers, so I'll be feasting all week.

That's how I was raised. We just didn't get snacks. We got nice hearty, healthy meals and didn't feel the need to eat in-between. I still don't snack--unless it is suddenly 3 pm and I realize I didn't eat all day and am ready to keel over. Happens m ore and more frequently as I get older. I just don't feel hungry and forget to eat.

I got rid of my air-fryer and just use that function on my regular oven and toaster oven.

Costco has had it here.
And wild fork has it on the internet
I saw it at my Costco yesterday and was so tempted. But with it just me now, I fear I'd end up eating a tiny bit, freezing the rest ad tossing a freezer-burned mess in 1 year. I need to find a new system of cooking/eating/storing.

Not fancy, but quick, easy and tasty. Grilled brie and home-grown tomato.

My food-gifting friend is on a salad kick now. (Still thankful it isn't drumsticks.) He brought me a huge container of a spinach/lettuce mix a couple of days ago. I had just sat down to eat a large salad I made for supper when the doorbell rang. There he was with 2 salad kits and a bag of brussels sprouts. I feel my nose twitching, my ears growing and my tail getting fuzzy.

Completely agree on the triangles! I stopped myself but easily could have eaten it all by myself in one sitting. Embarrassingly too small.

My food-gifting friend brought me smoked Italian sausage and country-style beef ribs because I mentioned I was craving BBQ. So I had a bit of both last night with some potatoes, arugula, tomato, butter and German potato salt.

Somehow that cracks me up. Any candle is a fire hazard. Especially if you have cats. Only electric candles in this house now.
On a Trader Joe's note, I picked up the green olive flatbread crackers last week and tried yesterday just as a nibble while I was heating some soup. I like them. I really think I'd like them with the cream cheese anchovy spread that was discussed elsewhere. I think it was @Tropicalsenior's recipe, or am I remembering wrong?

I have no idea about it, but how interesting! Thanks for posting all this info.

I love that TJ's tarte
reminds me of France .
I was never able to cook it properly , though.
I haven't had a problem before, but I did this one in the toaster oven and the center of the crust never cooked properly but it was going to burn the rest of it if I left it in longer. Partly my cheap toaster oven, I'm sure. Just didn't want to fire up the regular oven on a hot day.

My former husband came from a large family of mostly boys. The first time I was invited there for dinner, he told me, "If you see food on a platter you want, you better grab it fast because it goes fast." They did not know what leftovers were.
We used to have a calendar with Dave Barry "Sniglets" (funny made up words). The one that always stuck with us and I use it to this day was Pig Slice: the last piece of pizza that everyone secretly wants but no one wants to seem piggy by taking.

Made up a soup with some of the chicken from the skewers I roasted the other day. Used a packaged cilantro lime rice, some chopped tomato, chicken stock and a dollop of jalapeno something from Trader Joe's that's been lurking in the fridge for a long time.
I have to admit that I am really getting hungry for "real" food, i.e., meat to eat with a knife/fork, veggies and a nice glass of wine. My dear friend who always brings me food texted me yesterday and asked me what I'd like to cheer me up and he'd make it for me. I politely declined. I was afraid it would be chicken drumsticks. LOL.

A friend dropped off some wonderful chili lime chicken skewers while I was visiting my husband. I popped them into the oven for a quick roast before it got too hot. Froze some for later and ate some tonight with arugula, sliced tomato, avocado lime dressing and buttered baguette.
And as long as I had the oven on, put in the shriveling cherry tomatoes I had and a huge green pepper to roast for freezing to use in whatever.
