A day of leftovers, and avoiding Paleo fails

Breakfast started at 5 am.  I couldn’t sleep since 3:30 am for some reason so I got up and started working (I work from home).  I had a leftover boiled egg (good things to keep on hand) and a banana.  At around 9 am, it felt like lunch time (or the Hobbit’s “second breakfast”).  So […]

Cajun feast!

Cajun feast!

Ok, so I cheated a bit tonight, but not too bad.  It was my son’s 7th birthday, and he wanted a crawdad boil!  He also likes snails so I made some of those as well.  He didn’t like those as much as those at the restaurant.  Oh well.  But everyone loved the crawdads (prepackaged and […]

A “tip” about asparagus

Pun intended.  When you put asparagus in the refrigerator, it needs to be very dry.  Put it away wet, and it will rot by the next day.  However, if this happens, all might not be lost! Asparagus seems to rot from the top down.  If it smells rotten, but the stalks look more or less […]

Eggs, eggs, eggs…and bacon!

Breakfast was nothing if not excessive this morning.  I probably overdid it.  I started with a boiled egg and one of the Scotch eggs I had for dinner last night (still have 2 left!).  But it’s my son’s birthday, and he wanted bacon and eggs.  So since mom was fixing them, I mean, what would […]

Easy Pan-Fried Lemon Chicken, Oven Roasted Broccoli, and Garlicky, Beef-Coated Scotch Eggs

Ribs and stuff

No picture this time. My wife cooked some lightly barbecued ribs of which I ate two. She also make a nice stuffed squash. However, the stuffings were a choice of brown sugar, or rice and cheese. They looked great, but I passed on them. Later I had a couple of celery sticks with almond butter […]

Lunch leftovers

Leftover bangers and mash, as well as sautéed mushrooms and shallots. I added a sliced Roma tomato, spicy mustard, and a pile of hot pickled banana peppers. Great stuff!
