Varis, depends on who you are cooking it for. One of those tuna portions was for my younger son. I'm still teaching him that some things are better with minimal cooking. I just overdid mine with stupidity.

Yeah, PA has the 2nd highest tax, behind California, 58.7 cents per gallon, 75+ for diesel. I'm seeing $1.89 at my local Weis Mkt, been that way for 5 or 6 weeks.
Oh, this is a dinner thread. Chicken Italian sausage with peppers and pesto on linguini. Hit the easy button tonight. It was very good, the Dietz & Watson sausage had a nice bite to it, my forehead was sweating.

While isolating and working from home Margarita Monday is a thing right? So for Taco Tuesday we did it again. Don’t worry back to wine Wednesday tomorrow.

not my most appealing photo but a very very tasty dinner. We bought Giovanni Rana Cheese Ravioli. Boiled some small bowtie pasta, warmed up homemade sauce, threw in some fresh spinach, the Rana and topped with fresh grated parm. Absolutely wonderful and easy.

The rains stopped just in time for me to fire up the grill for our youngest's birthday dinner. Soy marinated flank steak and combination fried rice. The boy wanted shrimp fried rice, but we had some leftover chicken and part of a pork chop in the fridge. Might as well use it up.
Simple on this end as well.
Grilled meatloaf (1 pound each of ground chuck, ground chicken breast and ground lamb). Wifey doesn't like lamb (if she knew it was in there she wouldn't eat it, it's baaad for you she sez). Found some corn still on the cob, $2 for 4 ears, well worth the admission cost. Simple, yet good. I can see a meatloaf sandwich in my near future.

I haven't played along in a while, as lockdown fare hasn't been too exciting. But, what the hell, I will play.
We enjoyed frozen broccoli (steamed, then doused with sauteed garlic, EVOO, marjoram, and lemon juice); braised lacinato kale and onions; sous-vide cooked top sirloin steak that has been in the freezer for God-knows-how-long (thyme and garlic, then seared on a cast-iron pan); and mushroom risotto (shallots, sherry, carnaroli rice, ho-made chicken stock, asiago cheese, and sauteed 'shrooms). The latter dish was the best of these!

Happy Anniversary!!!
Looks good to me!
That's half the fun, looking in the pantry and figuring out a different way to cook it. After this week I'm going to have to get really inventive with hot dogs or toasted cheese as I just got word I'm now down to 20 hours working per week, starting next week, for a grand total of 40% of my normal pay (20 hrs x 80% salary rate). This could get interesting!
Must have watched "Chopped" on the food channel.
Actually not. We haven't had cable since 2007. I think I can watch old episodes on various platforms for free, I'll have to look into that one.

Roast chicken again. Steamed broccoli and oven potato slices on the side.
