A Lovely Evening-


I was counting down the days till my new boss showed up. I decided I needed to eat something I hadn't had in a while.

It was Friday and on my hot bar run, I found some buffalo skirt steak and asian spice runned pork chops.

My plan is to pair the pork chops with tortellini with pesto and mache with peprcorn vin. I know it will be amazing.

When I figure out what I want to do with the buffalo, I will blog it.

Tummy Ache Days-

I am not a big fan of the change of seasons. I am a Northeast American big city child so I do need to see all four seasons of the year. The problem is that when the weather goes from hot to cold suddenly, my stomachs wacks out and cramps for a day or two.

For these days, the only things I eat are chunky applesauce with cinnamon, bananas and rice.

Hot Bar Dinner-

I treat myself on Fridays to a medium container from my favorite hot bar.


This past week, I got some great pulled pork and a bit of mac and cheese. There was salad and honey balsamic vin in the fridge at home and I had a fabulous no cook dinner for $6.00.

MYO ( Make Your Own) Sauce-

I found this recipe for teryaki barbecue sauce on Cook.com. It yields 10 oz. of sauce . It is not too complicated and tasty. I like BBQ sauce and have been looking for different flavors that what I normally see in the store. This will keep a week in the refrigerator.


3 tbsp. butter
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 sm. onions, chopped or finely sliced
3 c. catsup1 tsp. chili powder
3 tbsp. mustard
6 tbsp. Teriyaki or soy sauce1
2 tbsp. brown sugar


Melt butter. Saute garlic and onions together until tender. Remove from heat. Add catsup, chili powder, mustard, and Teriyaki or soy sauce. Stir until well mixed. Add brown sugar. Stir while adding.

Excellent for pork chops, ribs, chicken, beef cubes, steak, and chopped meat (hamburger or meat loaf).

Coolness-

I got a present today -

Easter Sunday on the cheap-

I like lamb and found some really nice chops the last store visit. I had my brother up for the weeknd so I had to get an extra chop. Frozen peas were steamed and scented with butter and garlic. Rice is a staple and I added furikake for a little dash of flavor.

Candy was half price so I got my first chocolate in 40 days for $1.98.

Dinner and dessert for 2 people was under $7.

We had a blast and enjoyed an NCIS marathon to boot.

Today is my sister's birthday -

I sang her happy birthday and we chatted for a while.

I reminded her that today is a legal holiday so she was allowed to have dip. This particular dip a favorite family comfort food and I will not write down the recipe today but after the week I had, I will make some for myself.
