Posting early due to work.

I think we'll be dining out, as the RG is coming into the airport around 5.

1. Red beans and rice

Made a broth out of a smoked (meaty) ham hock first. Hopefully, all will be ready by dinner.

2. After the recent meatfest

a nice simple vegetable barley soup with cornbread, baked pears for dessert.

6. Yum...how do you bake your pears?

[Runningdawg]

9. I cut them in half

scoop out the seeds and a little flesh to make a depression. Then I top them with brown sugar, with a pinch of salt and allspice added. Finally a pat of butter and a drop of vanilla on each one. I'm allergic, but you can top with some nuts too.
Bake 350 for 30 min.
Sorry it took so long to answer.

3. Chicken marsala, mashed potatoes, and steamed broccoli

4. Chicken cacciatore

with linguini. I actually made it yesterday in a crockpot and am having leftovers today. Three more individual portions are in the freezer.

I live alone, so I often freeze up what I've made.

Oh, and I'm not sure just how close to the real thing mine is, but I found it very tasty.

Also garlic bread and nice green salad.

7. Now I am hungry!

5. we went to the usual Portuguese restaurant

The chef is trying new dishes. For appetizers, some sort of lobster dish and a Spanish type of pie with tomato sauce.

For dinner, fish francese with shrimp. Salad with artichoke hearts, yellow rice, mixed vegetables, and cottage fries.

We had a half-pitcher of red sangria and after-dinner drinks of almond liqueur.
Also espresso.

8. You know how to live!

That sound so good.
