My sister-in-law sent us a pot of red beans and rice, sausage, and cornbread. Hubby made a salad and we pigged out.
I love Greek food. Have you ever tried dolmades (stuffed grape leaves)? You should just once if you have not. Some time ago I got an urge for a gyro that would not go away. There is nothing near me that would suffice, so I drove 45 miles one way to a Greek restaurant near the state capital. It was worth it.

Gonna have the steak dinner I thought I was gonna have last night. My russet was a little soft and the sour cream was shy of the expiry date but had been open for a while. I defaulted to a salad & chicken pot pie last night, and made a quick grocery store run.
Tonight is Beef and Noodles, which is a favorite around here. Recipe goes something like this: I put about 1.0 - 1.5 lbs of chuck, cut into pieces, rubbing in favorite seasonings, into bottom of Instant Pot on top of bottom grate. Add 2 cups of beef broth, 1 tbsp. worcestershire sauce, 1 tbsp. brown sugar, and 1 pkg. onion/mushroom soup mix. Cut up and add 1 whole onion and 3-4 slices of smoked bacon. Put on lid and pressure cook on high for about 1:14. Carefully release steam, remove lid and add noodles in proportion to juice. Repeat pressure cook for 10 minutes and it's ready. Having some bread to soak up the juice is a plus.

grass fed beef pattie, new red potatoes/carrots/broccoli medley--all organic and home grown. This time of year, I am impressed with how self sufficient we are and wonder how normal people can afford good food sometimes when I see prices at the store.
