Food. Again


Dollop of Daisy? Why a dollop when you can have a wallop. I don't particularly like to make lunch. Yesterday I had nothing on hand. I need to make bread, saints and sinners help me, no sandwiches. I had one bratwurst, black beans and tomatoes. A little hot sauce, cheese and sour cream and it was one more lunch. 




Our weather has been way too warm. Wednesday it is going back to "normal". I'm not sure what that is anymore. I wouldn't mind an early spring, one that is spring-like and not the hot and humid of the past few. I have a desire, it may even be a need, to get out and play in the dirt. In the meantime, I must make the blueberry clafoutis I've planned for the last several days. Somehow I don't get to it. I'd like to say my schedule has been just too hectic but I don't want you to laugh while drinking your coffee. I'm thinking of your keyboards.


Carrying on....I made linguine and meatballs for dinner. I made enough meatballs to have something for the dreaded lunch. Meatball sandwiches. I don't bake or fry the meatballs first. They cook in the sauce and are light as air. No egg, either. Milk as the binder.

You all have a good day and have a wallop of something

I'll have a wallop of something, I'd like it to be a dessert!

Yes, overnight we are slated for some rain and by Saturday, we'll be back at winter temps.

Pixie said...

We're getting a wallop of snow right now. At least it's good exercise:)

Boud said...

Meatball sandwiches, a fave. With a red sauce o' course.

Miss Merry said...

I would love a wallup of sour cream, maybe on a baked potato. And maybe that will be my lunch!

It's funny how even in retirement without a full-time job the daily schedule can still get inexplicably hectic.

I don't need another dollop...they just keep coming...

Lori Skoog said...

I'm glad someone feels like cooking (and baking)! You are such a master and your photographs have been spectacular!

Granny Sue said...

Looks good, and it was easy to make, right? Always a plus in my book. I rarely nake lunch these days. I have late breakfast, then supper.
My hubby needs lunch though, but he's on his own there most of the time. Making 3 meals in one day is NOT something I like to do.

😊👍❤️

Anvilcloud said...

You make lunch? We barely make supper. Can I come and live with you? 😄

Maybe I will describe our lunch someday.

Sandra said...

I'm liking dessert a bit too much, Val! We will have snow all day with high wind and dropping temperatures. In other words, February.

Sandra said...

It seems you are sending it to us, Pixie.

Sandra said...

It's what was lunch, Boud.

Sandra said...

I hope you had your baked potato. and sour cream, Miss Merry!

Sandra said...

Or at least seem that way, nick!

Sandra said...

Yes, we will leave you off that list, e.

Sandra said...

I'm sure you have people cooking for you, Lori. If I could I'd do it.

Sandra said...

I'm with you there, Sue.

Sandra said...

😉

Sandra said...

Certainly. You must bring you elegant wife with you, AC.

Beautiful photos of your lunch, Sandra! It is so important to enjoy life and the daily things that come with it! Thank you so much for sharing.

You could have a fancy restaurant!

It all looks good to me.

The meal with the red sauce looks yummy

DeniseinVA said...

Oh my goodness, I wish I lived closer so you could invite me over at mealtimes, lol! Your photos are so cheery and yummy!

I never use egg to bind anything. I LOVE that! Sounds like you got some good eats there. Funny odd weather. It's winter and spring all in one day.

This has been winter here with more snow overnight and another larger snowfall forecast for Sunday into Monday. Crockpot cooking has been going on here and bread baking as well.
