I am making hamburgers (no buns) and braised endive baked with a béchamel/cheese sauce.

Happy birthday to number 1 son, who would love this meal!

2. Endive baked with bechamel/cheese

was a favorite when I could still eat cheese. I'm so bored. I baked chicken thighs with thyme and mashed a pot of potatoes. I would have sauteed a pan of Swiss chard to go with it, but Mr. Pup emailed that he had to stay late again at the office. He has had one full day off in the past month and his boss is a notorious wage thief. During busy times they will work 15-20 hour shifts (no overtime) and the workers who live farther away just sleep on the floor because they are too tired to drive home. They are working on four cases now and moving the office by the end of the month. I had chicken and potatoes when they were ready. He'll have his reheated the next time I see him--or, the time after that. This really gets old. Sorry, cbayer, you wanted to know what's for supper and all I have is bad mood.

4. Poor hubby! I hope things lighten up soon.

Your chicken and potatoes sounds good and should cheer you up. Sorry you have to eat it alone.

5. potato crusted salmon, asparagus tips, and heirloom baby tomatoes w/ argula. I wanted

to make cream of asparagus soup (my fav Campbells as a kid), so I cut the base of the aspargus and boiled
for the stock. Put in food processor and it was stringy and fibery as hell - so dumped it out. Wonder
how Campbells did it ! haha

And very low in sodium, too -- I used a little Worcestershire to flavor the ground beef and about half-an-envelope
of Lipton Onion Soup Mix.
