What's for Dinner?

[dh66]

As a not-vegetable guy, all I heard was the teacher from Peanuts until this "the big slice of German chocolate cake -" that came through loud and clear (as did "all the beers that came afterwards..."). Obviously, a rich chocolate flavor is required, but the defining feature of a German Chocolate cake, for me, is the thickness and wonderfulness of the coconut-and-pecan frosting that goes over the chocolate frosting (pure genius to put two frostings on one cake) - how was it?

It was, as you so perfectly put it, pure genius. One of the best I've had.

As noted earlier, taking eldest daughter out tonight. Rest of the kids will be feasting on beef bites, noodles with homemade Alfredo sauce, and green beans.

Slow cooked roast beef and potatoes Sunday night and Monday night. It was so magically wonderful.

One of the Mexican restaurants in my neighborhood celebrates Tuesdays with 99 cent tacos and $2 for a 32 oz. mug of dos equis. Seemed a reasonable choice for supper.

Beef bites were not eaten yesterday. They'll be dinner tonight

The dos equis at two dollars makes it very much worthwhile and then you throw in the tacos and I don't lnow if I would ever leave.

Caught on the restaurant's security camera:

Store manager: Sir, the specials are over for the night

Touch Of Evil: Uh, what, oh, hold on (as he is seen palming three tacos in one hand and grabbing two mugs of Dos Equis in the other)

Store manager: Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to put the beers and tacos back

Touch Of Evil: (mouth now full with the first taco while feigning trouble hearing) What?, Sorry, What?

Store manager: Sir, please step away from the food and put the beers back

Touch Of Evil: (now furiously working through the next taco and first beer): munch, munch, glub, glub, munch...(with free hand cocked behind ear implying he's still having trouble hearing)

Store manager: Really sir, the special is over and I'm going to have to ask you to pay regular price for the three tacos and two beers

Touch Of Evil: munch, munch, glub, glub, (faster now) munchmunchglubglub (and one last big swallow from the final mug) - I'm sorry, but I picked up all that food and drink within the hours of the special, but (with a big smile on his face) don't worry, the good news - I'll be back next week.

Store manager: (with a big sigh) I don't get paid enough for this sh*t

Tonight: Garlic lime chicken, cottage potatoes, and green beans

Day went downhill fast. Decided to make spaghetti instead, since it is quick and easy and I wasn't in the mood to cook. Will make the chicken tomorrow.

Yep. That's pretty much how it would go.

I could definitely make a dent in their inventory in that amount of time.

Last night, we had shredded beef tacos. I was once again a pretty happy guy.

We visited a craft brew pub in Brookings Oregon last fall. The food truck was vegan (my bad luck) but my smart wife ordered a roasted red pepper, grilled Portobello mushroom, vegan cheese, basil mayo, spring mix lettuce on a chiabatta bun. It was small, cost $14 but was delicious. Me in my frugal mind thought, "damn, I can make this at home." Now we do on a regular basis. Very tasty sandwich and at home it does not cost anywhere near $14 and I can have as many potato chips as I want......heck, even have a pork chop on the side if I want.

I had a 1/4 lb steak, baby greens salad with homemade blue cheese dressing, and a mixed berry yogurt smoothie for dessert.

Last night I had sandwiches while picnicking in Millennium Park to see Yo-Yo Ma play Bach's Cello Concerto.

Pushing the chicken to tomorrow, I think, and making tuna patties and homemade macaroni and cheese tonight.
