Licking my wounds at home tonight alone... Ok, I'm pouting. Long story that doesn't matter, but resulted in something fabulous... A fresh basil cucumber martini accompanied by jalapeño havarti, melted Brie and rosemary crackers. What did y'all have? Still hungry and looking for ideas!

I'm in the process of making my son some shrimp fried rice.

We had country style steak, biscuits, and fresh green beans and potatoes we grew. I had forgotten how amazing fresh potatoes taste!!

Hmmm... Fried rice! Excellent idea!
Sorry the picture is SO big! I can't seem to adjust it so well when posting from my phone!

The only problem I have with the pic is that I can't get to that Brie!!!

The recipe was an experiment... Something along the lines of the following (and completely guessing at amounts!):
quarter cup of fresh basil, broken into pieces
quarter cup of cucumber juice (I put 1/4 cucumber in blender and strained out pulp)
Ounce of fresh lime juice
1/2 ounce simple syrup
Shot of gin
Shot of triple sec
Shake over ice and drink!

We had cheeseburgers. Opted for the thin style cooked on a super hot griddle tonight (as opposed to the thicker, grilled variety). Also, home-made shoestring fries with season salt. It was fabulous after the first cheer practice of the YAFL football season (is it October yet? Lol).

I continue to be so hungry this morning. Every single one of these things sounds good to me! Might have to do cheeseburgers for dinner... something greasy sounds WONDERFUL right now! (Uh, maybe I drank way too many veggies last night!)

I tried a new recipe last night. OMG SO GOOD.

You can basically use any vegetables that you want. I used red, orange, and yellow peppers, baby carrots, roma tomatoes, and a vidalia onion.
We had baked potatoes on the side, but next time I want to serve it over couscous or a tabbouleh salad.

Oh... that chicken looks awesome!

S-W, believe it or not, our cheeseburgers weren't greasy. I know, I'm no fun. Made them with super lean ground elk with a tiny bit of ground beef just so they'd hold together. Hope your greasy cheeseburger hits the spot though :)

Last night I had a small (sized for a lunchbox) bag of Lays Potato Chips followed by a small bag of Cheetos Extra Crispy. 
mmmmm
Tonight I'm hoping for a big Spring Mix salad with fresh basil and garden tomatoes, but I'm not promising anything. I still have a small bag of Doritos in the pantry.
I'm done here; sick of 2 x 4s

Pizza. Delivered. I almost wore myself out opening the box. And don't even get me started on the clean up.

Steamed cauliflower and Cabbage Balushka. (cabbage, onions, egg noodles - Hungarian dish) YUM!
