Making risotto to go with some leftover pork tenderloin and veggies.
Some stuffed shells, stuffed back in December or so for Xmas dinnet (Mom’s recipe). Using jar of Rao’ sauce instead of making my own. Garlic bread. Salad.
We had Costco rotisserie chicken. The dog was very attentive when stripping the chicken afterwards.
Skirt Steak and corn grilled at the beach
And you thought “stripping the chicken afterwards” was a euphemism, right @Breadmaker ? ![]()
Cheeky popcorn gif totez goes here!!!
I hope you got lotsa chikkinz!!! Who’s a gud gurl??? Are you a gud gurl??? Of course you are!!!
Hitting local The Cheesecake Factory. Bro-in-law has a Gift Card, so why not.
FYI: Also, 7/30 is national Cheesecake Day, so TCF is having half-price for dine-in only. That sucks, since I hate waiting for food (I can starve until I find immediate food), and TCF usually has a line out the door.
Do not check my Wednesday weigh-in number. It’s gonna suck, especially after beer and pizza tomorrow night.
Checking the menu. Yup, so many groupings of food. Bites, small bites, apps, bowls, burgers, sandwiches, salads, specialties, pastas, seafood, steaks, sides, skinnylicious ™, skinnylicious salads, skinnylicious burgers and sandwiches, … oh, and Cheesecake. 39 of them, plus ice ccream sundaes.
Doesn’t get any better than fine dining on someone else’s dime!
No wait, Monday 6pm is pretty good.
They did not have particular cheesecske my bro-in-law wanted.
I got a chicken dish. Three flattened pieces. I ate one.
Saved room for, you guessed it, Cheesecake. Cookie dough with pecans. Pretty good.

Bacon, lettuce, local heirloom tomatoes, fresh local sourdough, avocado smash. This is going to be a tasty sandwich!
Chicken salad sandwich then, a while later, since I was still a little hungry, waffles.
Picnic date at the botanical garden tonight! Sandwiches and fruit and music and conversation. [And kissing, of course
]
I was going to make meatballs and marinara (with pasta), but I think I’m gonna grill some steaks instead. Just don’t have the bandwidth today for the other meal.
update - the sandwiches were just okay. The fruit was good. The activities were better (I had some little magnet fidget-y toys that were fun, and mini-cornhole, and other options that we didn’t get to). And the kissing was best of all. ![]()
