Change of plans. Family wants Chinese takeout. Roast pork and Chinese veggies for hub and I.

I will have yogurt for dessert.

Today I stopped by the local Safeway to check out the discount meat bin and it was loaded. I got four two packs of discounted and expired Duroc center cut for chops that had a 50% off coupon at the register. They came out to about a buck a chop. For dinner tonight I just put this in the oven - fried off three chops and then am letting them braise with three Walla Walla Sweet Onions. I'll do a sweet potato for the side, a nice Whole30/Paleo meal. All this was done with the Wagner #8 dutch oven I got at a garage sale a few weeks ago, the first time I've used it.

It's been a crazy, busy day running around getting things done.

I had a grilled artichoke sub from Penn Station, with iced tea for lunch.
Not sure about dinner yet.

A regular old boring side salad, though with homemade 1000 island dressing, to go with crab au gratin based on Mulate's recipe.

My granddaughters mother just quit her job at BWW. I never got to eat there for the discount. :sad:

Tonight I fried up a bait of bacon for a BLT salad - used the #6 I just refurbished and it worked great, of course.

Sass, that sounds like a good weekend.

Tonight I'm grilling steaks and will get a russet to bake. There may be a veg, maybe not.

Chicken and dumplings. Very good even if I did wing it, except for the dumplings, did use a recipe for them. I was so angry. Was going to use Bisquick, opened up a brand new box and there were bugs inside the sealed bag. :sad:

revisited a local establishment for the first time in years after a not-so-great meal..... Better this time..............

Warden had a mess of King Crab Legs........

I had a Cajun Shrimp appetizer, in a garlic Butter ..... Sorry ! I ate some of them before I remembered that I had my camera with me...

I continued with a Crab and Shrimp-stuffed Flounder. This wasn't the prettiest dish, and the shrimp was chopped so fine as to be invisible, but the flavors were there, and the fish was cooked perfectly.

YUM ! They are always fun.......... :applause:

Yes they are.
This was Asian Grill Buffet.
My daughter in law suggested it.
I had peanut butter chicken and a sampling of many things.
I found the crab Rangoon to be a little too sweet with the filling though.
The sushi looked to be like it had been sitting for a while, so no touchy that lol
