The sponge monkeys are sad now.

I would have had them put the slaw on the side because I have had that experience more than once. I hate slaw with pineapple juice in it. PU!

Well I would think that they should know to put a slaw with a little tang on pulled pork for cripes sake.
..and a like a tangy BBQ suace as well. Sugary slaw with sweet BBQ sauce just sucks!

Sponge monkeys don't know how to make subs.

Turkey weenies? Get a rope! There better have been bacon on those burgers!

I thought about bacon, just didn't cook any.
I did sauté onions in olive oil, half of a large onion to be exact.

Not good enough.

For dinner it was just me so I made melted cheese, avocado, and ranch sour cream in wheat tortillas. Burger and fries would have tasted better.

I had a bite of a bacon maple bar this morning. Wasn't bad.

This has absolutely nothing to do with anything, just a comment...but, where I grew up, you only ate "dinner" on Sundays and Holidays. The evening meal was "supper".

I used to think that was a regional Southern thing, but perhaps it's generational? If you got invited to "come to dinner" at our house, and showed up at 7:00, you were five hours late. The cornbread was gone and Mom was PO'd. You probably didn't even get pie. At any rate, I find the use of the terminology interesting.

Well..there was a lot of moving around at the turn of the century. My grandparents on both sides were from the south. Mainly NC.

I've even started putting saved bacon drippings in my morning coffee.....

May you live long and prosper!

So, leftover bacon.

Never (never, EVER) a thing in my house.

Oh, it's so true.. maybe this is one of the BIG TRUTHS in life.

It's always been dinner to me.

I grew up (farm in the Midwest) with dinner as a larger meal at noon and supper as a smaller meal in the evening. For special occasions, (Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.) dinner was delayed until midafternoon, but there would still often be a smaller meal in the evening.

I think the 8-5 workday (at a factory or an office) led to the end of the big "dinner" at mid-day, and we transitioned from Dinner and Supper to Lunch and Dinner (still using the name to signify a larger meal), and Supper disappeared in a lot of cases.

..make this possible.. someone, please..

dinner as a larger meal at noon and supper as a smaller meal in the evening

That's how we eat. :thumb:

Definitely healthier! But work schedules often result in no meal for me at mid-day and a more substantial repast in the evening.

On the topic of what I actually ate last night - my (mostly vegetarian) son was in town and my wife was off to book club.
So we got out a 2-cup container of frozen (cooked) black beans and thawed them with a can of diced tomatoes in a saucepan. When the beans had thawed we added a half of an onion, diced, 3 or 4 cloves of diced garlic, salt, pepper, oregano and hot sauce. Simmered until the onions started to soften.
Served over some re-heated rice.
Not a bad meal.
