Last Night, Mexican "Sloppy Tacos"... Here, Chinese Stir-Fried Rice. A toss-up as to which we enjoyed more! I'd rather not have to resort to dinner-plate photos without a more-interesting story to go along, but some days, the dinner hour is the highlight of the day! Just sayin'...
The highlight of the day! That`s when I wake up and find the two of us healthy for a fresh start. The first cup of coffee is a good second one. The dinner is one of the many in between. But very nice as it is as delicious as this one looks like. .
Yes. Food has become the centerpiece of the day. It’s one of the only things we can control at the moment so why not cook and eat as well as possible. Looks delicious Louise. Wish I could come for dinner.
@pyrrhula OK, yes, a double espresso latte is my first request of the morning, and while it's not anything novel, just tell me I can't have one, and it has become the VERY MOST important way to start the day! OK...I have to go to your first comment..."Shame on me"...it's true we should express gratitude for waking up each morning! I do like getting to the time in the day that we decide what to prepare for dinner. As Allison @allie912 said, dinner was always a bit of an afterthought, but buying carefully now, making meal preparations and using the time to sit together and have a good visit...priorities have changed!
By definition, aren't all tacos sloppy? I spent two years in Taiwan and pretty much existed solely on fried rice. I got very good a plucking the peas out with chopsticks.
@casablanca "Dear Early Riser..." On my "new average day" I'm struggling to get up by 10:30! And, as today, I get that "coffee" and come to the computer... It takes me a double, and then another single before I feel coherent... Basically "I'm a slug"... ...and yes, that dinner is so tasty, my neighbour wanted it (but she doesn't cook much) so I'm making it for her and her husband for dinner tonight. Last night, another neighbour brought us a pie she'd made, so we don't want for a delicious variety of food in our corner!
Oh yes meal planning has turned into the highlight of the day!
