Egg salad with sweet corn, radish, whole grain mustard, and habanero

Six elements:  butter-fried dinner roll croutons, Acme brand smoked

Sliced pork chop on haricots verts, caramelized onions,

A List

Travel list from a couple of thanksgivings ago.

A couple of prep items, and then the packing list.

Reading glasses, not wine glasses.
When we go to Riverside, cigars are not needed to bring;
they're placed on our pillows.

next to shrimp, cucumbers, assorted small tomatoes, basil,

olive oil, and vin cotto.

Fridge Raid

Not your Mom's egg salad

refugee ingredients.  Don't get me wrong....

topped with diced grilled zucchini and tomato

Wednesday Dinner

Oh Geeze, Fish taco.

Flying Dog Oyster Stout-battered flounder

and onion rings with guacamole, cucumber and tomato relish,
