Good Food Found in the Fridge
Like most of us, I have been spending time concentrating on trump's
attempted coup of the USA, the murder of George Floyd, the collapsed
economy, the racial divide in our country, and COVID-19. I've also been
watching the bunker boy trump ease and erase control on the EPA and
infrastructure rules, while he gasses church rectors to get a photo op
holding a bible upside down and backwards.
I have also had to see that the shopping was done, do the cooking, and clean up.
Tonight
I was not in the mood to cook and was thinking about getting pizza. We
have two pretty good joints near me, mom and pops, and while they are
not Manhattan, Brooklyn, Philly or Chicago, are still pretty good for
texas.
But then I looked into the fridge. I was startled by the
leftovers. There was two or three pounds of potato and egg salad and 4
chicken legs, plus marinated and grilled veggies from a barbeque a few
nights ago.There was a nice hot sausage in chicken velouté we'd used on
thin pasta. There was a bowl of meatless dahl made with small red beans,
a bowl of raita (cucumber salad in yogurt with cumin), some pork
vindaloo, a fajita stew, five pieces of lime chicken (my invention:
Chicken breasts dressed in breadcrumbs and grated parmesan, sauteed,
then baked with fresh lime juice), and one piece of sauteed salmon done
in ginger, teriyaki, garlic and sesame oil with a candied skin. There is
also an almost new loaf of sourdough that we used last night to make
grilled Virginia ham and Swiss cheese sandwiches with tomatoes. And plenty of
left over ham, plus two good avocados, fresh cucumber and a beefsteak
tomato.
Damn. I hope my family shows up in the new bar my kids
Italo, Marco, and my granddaughter Taylor Rain made to eat some of this.
If they don't want it, I guess I'll just order pizza. Dang.
Dang.
