Low effort dinner - oven roasted vegetables with sausages. Potatoes, carrots, onions and cherry tomatoes are roasted in the oven with thyme, aceto balsamico, honey and oil. Sausage are briefly seared in a pan before added to the vegetables for the second half of the 40 minutes of roasting.

Made French toast with brioche for breakfast…and had a fair amount of custard left but no sliced bread.
Cut up some old baguettes and bread pudding for dessert or random snacking.

I think that’s going to be my dinner tonite since I lost any meat in my fridge due to the power outage yesterday and don’t have time to go grocery shopping mid-week. It’s looking like eggs, pasta, tuna, veggies and salad for the immediate future… I suppose I could call in for some meal delivery, but I just got a lecture yesterday from my doc about my blood pressure and all of the yummy foods she doesn’t want me to eat any longer… sigh

yeah, thx— the scrambled eggs n salad dinner was not so bad for night #1. Thankfully I made some beef bourguignon a couple of weeks ago and have batches for one in the freezer (all the freezer stuff stayed frozen thankfully) along with some mushroom/barley soup. So hitting up the beef stew with mashed potatoes for the next couple of days… maybe there will be a bit of food fun after all!

Maybe this should go in FTC Confessions. I was feeling lazy last night, but not lazy enough to order in and subject DD drivers to the weather. My first fried rice in forever. Just some leftover breakfast sausage, eggs, and day-old rice. I added a little soy, fish sauce, and chili crisp. Quite good, actually, and reminded me how easy fried rice is and how much better it usually is at home.

I was saving this to watch after I got the email yesterday! Been doing a lot of “meat in crust” kinds of things over the past year and pate en croute is kind of the holy grail of that genre
