need to go to the grocery store
so cooking means that i have to be good about going to the store, which i clearly, am not. since last post, i've eaten at houston's. it was ok. i had the grilled halibut topped with lump crab meat drizzled with lemon butter sauce. pretty good, but the fish was dry. disappointing. it came with a side of vegetables, you had a choice of broccoli, honey glazed carrots and something that i don't remember. i got the broccoli, because i love it, but that too was disappointing. it was tough, and nearly undercooked and had this weird tangy lemon parmasean crap on it. why couldn't they just make it savory? there were already lemons in the sauce for my fish... really the broccoli too? i was pretty dumbfounded at this, but alas, houstons is on of my favorite places to eat. they have good skillet beans, good salads and good everything else, but man this fish was a mistake. i'll remember that for next time.
that was monday night.
tuesday i had which wich. it was derek's birthday so i treated him to his usual turkey on white with provolone, garlic, oregano, lettuce, red onion, cucumber and light mayo.
i decided to be adventurous (not learning from my houstons experience) and went for the spam sammie. i had it topped with lettuce, olive mix, hot pepper mix, cucumber onion mayo and mustard. it was ok. i would have like to have more spam flavor, but it just got hidden in all of the other toppings. it could be because i picked strong flavors, but i also expected some more spam. there were 4 little slices in there that i could see and a lot of veggies. i love veggies, dont get me wrong, but when i want meat.. i want some meat! i might give this sammie a second go around and choose less competing flavors.
wednesday was nothing exciting. i made a salad for lunch with just romaine and avocado. had a slice of pizza with pepperoni and green bell pepper... not bad. never would have thought of that combo myself, though.
thursday now... made the frittata again this morning, but no sausage. also more potato and onion.... and used mozzerella cheese instead.... cooked for longer... seems better... got to taste it though.
i might make a tuna casserole, but i know i would be on my own to eat that... so maybe i will just make a small one for me. i could make a chicken casserole instead... i do have chicken.. or maybe sloppy joes.. and glazed carrots... that sounds good.
