What's for supper?

[Krystal Shay]

I don't know when the last time that I have bought bagged lettuce. It just seems too dried out and tasteless to me, plus the lettuce turns brown if it isn’t used immediately.

Since I moved to a rural area, I drive 50 miles round trip every week to shop for produce rather than settle for that nasty bagged stuff. The bagged Spring Mix looks fresh, but once you get it wet it mats together like toilet paper.

This is the Artisan lettuce I like:

A variety pak of four small heads in each clamshell. Each week brings a different assortment. Some are tight green heads, some are loose purple large-lobbed leaves like oak leaves, some are almost ferns like aquarium plants, etc. (They look hydroponic, but are field grown.) I used to get them at Walmart and Kroger, but they stopped carrying them. ALDI now has them. As I mentioned before, I mix them all together with a regular lettuce like romaine or red leaf. I figure the different varieties gotta provide a broader range of nutrients.

That’s a pretty good analogy. Eating the pre-packaged bagged lettuce always made me feel like one those koala bears or some other critter chewing on the last sad tasteless leaf on the tree. My husband would never eat any of the bagged lettuces.

Parmesan crusted chicken breasts, mashed potatoes, and corn on the cob.

Ribs have been marinating and will go on the grill slow and low with a smoker box. SO will be a very happy camper.

We're planning to stop at our favorite cajun seafood restaurant on our way back from dropping off the granddaughter.

 

[Mary Stetler]

Put a small beef roast in the crock pot last night. Will have leftovers with corn on the cob tonite

Meatloaf, mashed red potatoes, coleslaw, tea....ice cream

Looks like a peanut butter and crackers evening.

I got no idea what I'm gonna make. Start with a salad. I know I have some leftover Domino's pizza in the freezer...somewhere in there.

Hoot, you can do better. Open the fridge door.

Archeology 101

Archeology in the Antarctic. I gotta put on my parka and tie a rope around my waist so I can find my way back out.

Actually, I found a serving of pizza. It ain't fine dining, but it fills the gaps in between the salad.

It is still really hot outside but, I am still making chicken noodle soup today.

You better double check how the little fluffy thing is doing. It requires ears and a corset

 

[Marie Miller]

As I do not eat ribs lunch and a future freezer spelunking for SO are secured. Pizza, quiche, hot dogs?

I swear, we have some kind of "wavelength." I'm not feeling great today so I'm also going to make some CNS! I have some rotisserie chicken and a quart of stock in the freezer so yay.

I picked up a container of refrigerated Shrimp Corn Chowder at Walmart's deli section. Probably add a salad & some bread.

I bought this on Friday, got ready to eat it that night, and the Use By Date on the plastic tub was smeared and the month was eradicated. It was xx/11/26. So it was either outdated by 6 days when I bought it, or it has a weeks-long shelf life. I went back today to pick up some odds & ends and checked another container. 8/11/26. Go figger. I've had this happen before on ALDI pasta sauce that is in plastic jars.

You can do it plus you have Medicare.

The decision was quiche with grilled/skinned Serrano, chunks of smoke country ham, onions, pepper jack. Rabbit food is unavoidable.
