Too pooped to post!

Well, almost. I had a very long couple of days and dinner tonight was just sandwiches and cantelope. I'll be home tomorrow and should cook something good for dinner. I'll write about it but for now, I'm headed to bed!

YOYO night at our house

Tonight is YOYO night at our house. The 16 year old just ate a slab o' beef (leftover beef roast & vegetables from the other night) and my other half had a tomato sandwich. I'm not hungry yet but when I am I'll more than likely scramble a couple of eggs with some red pepper and eat that with a slice of toast. We also have some leftover Chicken Santa Fe so if I don't want eggs, I'll have that with sliced tomato and cucumber.



I ended up eating red pepper, onion and a small new potato sauted in heart healthy margarine (yes, I like them almost burned!) and spiced with a bit of pepper, garlic powder, and some crushed red pepper and an egg fried in the same margarine. I had this with a glass of milk and it was fantastic.

Sunday lunch is so simple yet good

This is just a quickie post about our lunch today. My other half likes okra and tomatoes so I made him some with okra from the garden.



Speaking of the garden, this is what we got from it today. Considering all the rain and the fact that most of the plants have just flooded to death, I'm happy for this!



To make the okra and tomatoes I just dumped a drained can of whole tomatoes, five sliced fresh and tender okra pods, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into a sauce pan, covered it, and let it cook on a very low flame for about an hour. I stirred it now and then to make sure there wasn't any sticking to the pan but other than that, I pretty much ignored it.



So our lunch was very good, thrifty, and simple. We had pan fried turkey smoked sausage, baked new potato with a little butter, salt and pepper, sliced tomato and okra and tomato.

I like simple and easy meals like this, especially in the heat of the summer.

What's your favorite hot weather meal?
