As much as I like to cook and as much as I do cook, I just don't cook when I'm the only one here to eat it. I'm trying to change that so I went to a farm stand this morning and the veggies were beautiful. As you walk in the door they have potted herbs and their basil was really nice looking. I picked a pot of that, two small zuccini, one green and one yellow, a beautiful purple onion, a red bell pepper and a couple of tomatoes.(The tomatoes are for BLTs tomorrow after church.) Tonight I'm going to make myself the pasta primavera I learned how to cook during one of my recent Italian cooking classes.
I also took a rack of baby back ribs out of the freezer and will be slow roasting those and then hit them with Michigan Cherry BBQ sauce and put them under the broiler to caramelize the sauce a few minutes before they're done. I'll eat good tonight and I'll probably have leftovers for a few days. Anybody know whether you can freeze a pasta dish with cream in it?
What are you planning to eat later today?

no clue what we're having. I have no motivation to think of a menu and no motivation to cook. I just ate a bowl of cereal for lunch.

I made Morrocan Chicken with Artichoke Hearts and Couscos.
It ended up tasting a lot like Chicken Caccitore.
I've been in the "homemaker, nesting" mode today. Used my garden tomatoes and herbs to make spaghetti sauce that I'm going to freeze; the Morrocan Chicken and zucchini bread with the zuchini from my garden.

I made a brisket in the slow cooker, with coleslaw and some fingerling potatoes and a kale salad.
DD was supposed to have a friend sleepover. but now she's going to the friends...
So i'm tempted to save this for tomorrow and either just eat some cheese , salami and crackers or get some sushi.

I'm making a hybrid chicken/ turkey soup ... combination of chicken and turkey stock, turkey meat, plus veggies and noodles. And probably I'll melt some cheese on a few torta rolls I found in the back of the fridge.
Can you tell I've been cleaning out the freezer??

DH and DS went to a gamer's convention this morning. It is my son's birthday present. He's definitely a gamer, but also a homebody, so we had no idea how long they would stay. DH said he would let me know when they are about to leave.
I made up a big batch of Bruchetta, thinking that if he called me before 5, I could run out for a baguette and some Tri-Tip for DH to grill. Otherwise I would save the Bruchetta for tomorrow. I had a ton of tomatoes in my garden I needed to use up.
No communication from the boys, so they must be having fun. DD and I will be fending for ourselves, and I imagine the boys will buy dinner when they get hungry.
I'm actually glad they haven't called. It means that DS is enjoying his present. I was worried he'd get bored and want to leave early.
