Dinner tonight will be leftovers, though I think I'll also steam a couple half-ears of corn to go with it. I need to do dishes this morning, then get to breaking down the 4+lb bulk pack of ground chuck that was on sale yesterday. Gonna have a whole lotta hamburger patties to freeze up.
I didn't get the ground chuck made into patties until first thing this morning. Thankfully I grabbed the bulk pack from a fresh batch the butcher was putting it out after just grinding it, so it's still good. I should have done it yesterday, but my back hurt bad, I assume from twisting weird at the waist as I unloaded the cat food from the car Monday. It's still sore this morning, but the naproxen is keeping it manageable.
Tonight's dinner will be grilled cheeseburgers and chips. Tomorrow will probably be chicken and pasta some way, unless I think of something better.

Im not sure what's for dinner tonight. I am tempted to drill through the earth's crust and appear at DQs or Ambys.
Which my phone autocorrected to Dairy Queen or Arby's.
Which...well, I mean, I know where my local Dairy Queen and Arby's are located, but I doubt I will get food even a fraction as good as that at DeathQuaker's or Amby's.

Wait..no. I have octopus in the house. I better make takoyaki before it goes bad.
I have a pot of stir-fry (Ants Climbing Up a Tree, again) that will probably last me to Friday.
Thinking ahead, I have some potatoes that need to be dealt with, and I kind of want varenyky, but don't feel like the fuss.
Frozen minced(?) lobster is on special in my neck of the woods, which sounds like it might be intriguingly old-school to work with, but I'm not sure what I'd do with it. Find a recipe for crab/lobster cakes, I guess?
Dinner last night wasn't chicken. Instead, for Dad I made fish en papillote, a smol baked gold potato, and hushpuppies. I switched seasoning on the fish; instead of the usual Old Bay, oregano, & salt, I used more herbs (oregano, parsley, rosemary, chives) & salt. He ate it fine, but I could tell he liked the Old Bay seasoning better. I had a box of cilantro lime rice in the rice cooker using tetrapack chicken ramen broth (well-seasoned, but salty) in place of half the water, and threw in 8oz of frozen shrimp halfway through cooking. The shrimp were overcooked, but just a bit chewy and not tough; I'll half the leftover half warmed up for lunch.
Tonight, I'm just planning to throw together some chicken & pasta. The four-cheese dry pasta pouch I got on sale + coupon for only 4/$3. The chicken is a 12oz refpack (precooked & fajita-seasoned breastmeat strips) that was on sale because it was two days from it's "best by" date, and I threw it in the freezer until now. I'll just make the pasta per instructions, add in the thawed chicken to heat through together, and stir in some some extra parm at the end. I'll fix some frozen corn or carrots as a side.
Tomorrow will likely be a chuck pot roast and mashed potatoes & gravy.

The grocery store had fresh cherries from Chile. Yeah, I got some. I did not look at the price tag. They’re good for me olde gout. They were actually pretty okay. Still have some.
