Chilli con carne, twice cooked as it started life last night. I souped it up a bit tonight by adding chilli flakes, habanero sauce and a few bits and bobs to flesh it out. Was great, although was close to blowing one's head off and that's from me who likes things super hot and spicy.

Sloppy joes and a green salad on the side.

Sardines and Triscuits.
I need to go to the store. The wife and boy arrive back in town Tuesday.
Geez, if I was by myself I would be BBQing steaks or chicken wings.

Yeah, after I spent the day plumbing the garage for air, I didn't feel like doing much except eating, showering, and sleeping.

Change of plans. I got overruled. Tonight is homemade bacon cheeseburgers and baked jojos.
Sounds like a fine compromise to me.

Unanimous vote: my burgers are 1000% better than Red Robin's.
And we don't like baked jojos. Never again. I actually gagged on it - that's how bad they were.

Last night, half price burgers at Whitlow's, which opened in 1946.

What are jojos? Baked or otherwise.

Seasoned potato wedges. Usually find them deep fried at a deli counter with chicken.

Aaahhh....yes. Didn't know they had an actual name (besides potato wedges). I don't see those much anymore but I remember a time when they were standard issue with grocery store fried chicken.
I agree, I can't imagine baked would be the ticket with those.

I'm in the mood for sausage & sauerkraut on top of mashed potatoes with spicey mustard slathered on top of that. Plus a mug of frosty coldbeer. Trouble is..I'm the only one in the household who likes that dish....so most likely isn't going to happen..

Potato wedges are popular back home served with sour cream and thai sweet chilli sauce.
Tonight was Balinese curry and rice.

It might be a regional name thing. I don't think hubby (who is originally from The Great State of Texas) called them that when he moved here many years ago.
It wasn't just the being baked vs. fried that I objected to. I GREATLY dislike potato skins. It's a texture thing for me (same as dried beans, peas, and lima beans). But I also didn't like the recipe for the seasoning on them. It was dry, and just odd. Hubby commented that they didn't taste right, either.... but he ate them because he was hungry. He gave me the look that said "please don't serve those again". We don't call food yucky at our table (don't want to influence Lily's food opinions), but I was about to break that house rule and pitch a fit because they were so gross.

Hubby would gladly join you for that! He keeps asking me to make it for him, but I'm of the same mind as your lovely. No thankyouverymuch.
