Fresh cream scones and marmalade.  Earl Grey tea.  not particularly exciting, but at least predictable.

Breakfast.

Lately, I've been chopping enough vegetables for 2 dishes when I do, storing half in the fridge.  This morning I got out the remaining vegs and started making soup.  It's only 9 a.m. and the soup is already cooking.  I usually wait until 4 pm or so, and have the end product for dinner.  For some reason, I jumped in early and will put it in the fridge until later after it's finished.

Right now I just feel like going back to bed, since I got up too early, but I can't leave the soup on the fire while I'm sleeping, so I am on here.

While food shopping online I discovered that you can buy pickle juice. Sans pickles!
Also a deli platter of sliced veggies for burgers is a bit rich for regular food shopping, but priced well for a BBQ.

Had a PB&J for lunch, exciting, I know.

I lived on PB&J sandwiches one year as I was working in a place where I didn't have access to a fridge or to a reasonably priced lunch place.  The whole wheat bread with good peanut butter and decent jam kept me going all day.  It was amazing how I basically never got hungry.  Probably due to the fat and proteins in the peanut butter.

I'm making "shake & bake" chicken with just bone in thighs and a McCormick rub sprinkled on the skin, along with small baked potatoes.  That's about my speed these days.  I had a small salad so I could make it for the hour it takes for them to cook.  I'm amazed at how expensive chicken is getting.

I had a marinated hatch chili chicken bag I was really looking forward to, but when I opened it, the whole thing smelled horrible. Right in the bin. Shame when that happens.I was going to make enchiladas.

That sucks.  I just baked some maple walnut muffins.  I have to wait for them to cool a bit but they make pretty tasty snacks or a nice breakfast food.

I made persimmon cookies yesterday -- they were like sweet little bricks.  Not a great recipe.

Now I'm roasting asparagus and getting ready to heat up some butter chicken and rice to go with it.  Taxes done, so I'm going to pour a glass of wine and spend an agreeable evening being stupid.
