Served over basmati rice.

sorry. I'm no help!

i woke up a few hours earlier than normal and my sense of time is thrown off. my internal timer tells me dinner is only about three hours away when, in reality, it's closer to five and i'm getting hungry. steak for first meal it is!

I've got a leftover chicken breast which I'll pull apart. With celery, mushrooms, onion. And whatever else tickles my fancy in the fridge. The sauce is a slurry of corn starch and chicken stock, oyster and soy sauces. Typical New England "chinese" stuff from the 1950's. And, of course, crispy noodles.

(And no, I'm not going all the way to the grocery store just for bean sprouts, so don't ask. Now drink your milk.)

In fact, any kind of sprouts are rare. Grocers won't carry them because of e-coli scare a few years back. Only one store that I know of carries fresh bean sprouts.

Corn.

Even though it isn't cold here. But I love to sit down with a bowl, some oyster crackers and the bottle of Frank's, which thankfully, I get all to myself.

We killed the pot of beans, so dinner tomorrow is up for grabs at this point. And I won't have time to cook anything, either tomorrow or Saturday, either.

As I mentioned the other night to someone else on the topic of what to do with leftover steak, I love to slice it thin and saute in butter, lots of garlic, a little Worcestershire, with onions and shrooms. From there you can serve it in a number of ways: over noodles or rice, atop a baked potato, with melted swiss or bleu cheese on good rolls, etc. Whatever tickles you imagination or happen to have on hand.

The RG made them. I am sure they will be delicious.

Cherry tomato salad with basil and balsamic; hope I have some mozzarella.

Green beans.

My tossed salad tonight will have lettuce from my garden!
