1. Chicken curry with green beans.

I've got what I need for it, including a hankering, lol.

Enjoy your pasta!

2. Leftovers again.

Cornish hen and carrots. This is the end of both!

3. Pork chops with a mushroom Dijon cream sauce

Something I've been wanting to try.

Spuds (if there's any left), otherwise rice. Steamed green beans, and the last of the Brussels sprouts I made the other day.

4. I gave a shot at the 'slow-roasted beef' recipe from the Cook's Illustrated Classic Roasts special.

I used a bottom round roast (because it was cheap) instead of the recommended eye round roast, didn't salt it long enough (only 6 hours instead of 18, because I forgot to start it the night before) and had to cook it longer than suggested because I like my beef well done, but it came out pretty decently, nonetheless. It's hard to totally destroy a Cook's Illustrated recipe

5. Just me tonite for dinner

SO is going to his pool playing thingie.

I popped two smallish Sweet potatoes in the oven. I will chop an apple in the processor with a few pecans then toss in a small frying pan with a pat of butter and a dribble of maple syrup and warm them a bit. When the potatoes are done I will salt them then top with the apples and a few circles of goat cheese.

One of very favorite meals alone.....

6. no chicken with basil cream sauce for me

I arrived home too late to cook, so I had some leftovers that the RG made. They were probably better than anything I would have made, since he's such a food genius.

He puts leftovers in these "seal-a-meal" bags. They stay so fresh that way.

Oh well, I will attempt the chicken tomorrow night.
