School shoes, lol! Reminds me of when the shake and bake pork chops would burn, we called them hockey pucks!
For the record, fried bologna was the bomb - total treat!

The only thing my dad knew how to make were fried egg or fried bologna sandwiches (and if he was feeling fancy, fried egg & balogna) and I loved how the bologna would curl up and get all crispy. I don't think I be had that since I left home 35 years ago!

We had a big family. There were 13 kids and my parents and often some neighbor kids at the table. My mother was not a great cook but did cook large quantities of food. I was not allowed to cook because it would be too expensive if a meal burned. Her favorite was the 20 or more pound turkeys that she prepared for holidays and the many meals of leftover turkey that followed. She made a lot of cakes and pies and her pies are still the best I ever ate. She knew exactly how long to work the crust so it was always flakey.

I love nectarines!

Yes, I think that Cambodia, in particular, is a malaria risk area.

Good morning. It's deceptive looking outside. Looks nice and chilly and gray. In fact it's warm and moist and gray. Ick.
Really good day yesterday and I bought ALL the things at Trader Joe's and also went to my little butcher shop for a couple items. I had so many great choices I stood in front of the fridge when it came time to make dinner trying to decide what to cook. There were NO peanut M&M's for the second day in a row. I may be on the train to recovery over them. Still not much exercise. Only 4612 steps. Today probably won't be much better, but I am aiming on my yoga and spin classes tomorrow and will modify as needed.
QoTD: Nope, she was terrible. Frozen squares of veggies like orange squash. Pork chops that had torn up white bread, salt and pepper and poultry seasoning with an egg mixed in piled on top and then cooked until we could wear them for school shoes and boom, dinner was on the table. Or one pot meals of overcooked everything and watery sauces. Blech. My Dad helped out, but he cooked bologna as bacon and deep fried our tater tots in murky reused Crisco he kept in a can on the side of the stove. I'd take his food any day. You know you were raised poor if you thought bologna as bacon was a real treat! Now when I cook him dinner he always says something like "I don't know where you got your cooking skills from, but I sure am glad you found them!"
Bites today
B: cottage cheese and TJ Sous Vide turkey tenderloins
L: Spicy Poke bowl with cabbage and edamame
D: Zoom happy hour with Jim and Marilyn! I'm sticking with mini beef birria tacos made with zero carb flour tortillas, roasted shi****o peppers, refried beans all cooked up sheet pan style and eaten sort of like nachos. And a nice bottle of Tempranillo Spanish red wine.
Peace Everybody!

Good morning ~ I'm super tired and I need coffee badly but I have to get more bloodwork done this morning. Thankful the lab opens at 6am though I'd love a 24 hour one. I could roll up in my PJ's at 3am and have my coffee waiting in the car. Or if there is a 24 hour lab, there would be a 24 hour Starbucks right next door! I have a ton to do at work today, I feel buried but I will sort it out and get organized.
QOTD - My mom was a great cook, so was my dad and they loved to try new recipes. I still have their favorite newspaper and magazine recipe clippings in an old photo album.
