1. Tacos!

Ground beef, which is my favorite.

And some guacamole I am going to make from a most excellent avocado recently brought to me by a friend.

Leftover succotash also on the menu. I made it by grilling corn, green beans, scallions and tomatoes on my new cast iron grill - also recently sent to me by a friend!

2. Supermarket rosemary & garlic roasted chicken, couscous, tomatoes w/ basil, oil and vinegar.

i.e. A quick, simple good dish of a meal.

3. Oh, fig newtons and watermelon in the mix.

5. I'm going to make a meat loaf this week.

Haven't made one for a while and I'm jonesing for one.

6. the kids come over for Sunday dinners

and this was requested. I like it when we don't have it often. This was pretty good.

8. I miss Sunday family dinners and hope that there will be more in my future.

Glad it was good and hope you were surrounded by love and smiling faces.

7. Well, I was going to bake some chicken...

Didn't much like the smell when I cleaned it, shoved it into the oven anyway. Went back to sniff about 30 minutes later. REALLY didn't like the smell. Took the chicken down to the trash. Called a local Chinese place and ordered mu shu beef and barbecued pork. Very good and not spoiled.

9. Ugh, that is one horrible smell.

And once I get a whiff of it, I just can't eat it.

Good for you for tossing it.

Expiration dates don't mean a thing sometimes, but the smell test is irrefutable.

10. I'd intended to cook it on Friday.

But it got warmer than predicted and -- despite air conditioning -- I didn't want to turn on the oven then. LOL, didn't even notice the expiration and now it's in a dumpster so I won't go check.

It wasn't worth keeping and certainly not a good idea to eat it for the next four days.

11. I was going to have a fairly big dinner party one night.

I had to search high and low to find kosher chicken to accommodate a friend. I found it, it looked good and when it was time to cook it, I discovered the smell.

Can't remember what I did, but I was panicked.

Just can't eat bad chicken.

[greatauntoftriplets]

12. That must have been awful!

I can see why you panicked. At least my solution was simple.

[eissa]

13. Chili!

The house smells so wonderful right now

14. And a coda - G. Gershwin - Rhapsody in Blue, Fortissimo Fest, 2010

This is a good one. On edit, a great one. Take a look.
