I had some panko-crusted eggplant slices ready to make a vegetarian sandwich, so I made the sandwich with mozzarella, grilled onion, and chipotle mayo on ciabatta. Flavors are blending now so it will be ready in an hour or two.

I made a tossed salad with romaine and red leaf lettuce plus the usual raw vegetables like peppers, radish, cucumbers, and small pieces of cauliflower florets. Not sure on what dressing to choose for it, though.

I also made chocolate cheesecake but I'm not thrilled with the way it turned out. I tried to keep the calories down so used low fat milk and it's really kind of boring. I added walnuts to the top and that helped a little. I think it needs chocolate shavings.

1. Chicken stir fry

The usual veggies, and also a small bit of lacinato kale - made it more colorful. I like brown rice, my menfolk do not. I get my way tonight.

I also made soup for Monday - lentil soup with leeks and bacon.

2. Cheesecake with lowfat milk

No help after the fact, but I wonder if coffee and/or extra vanilla would help the flavor. After the fact, yeah I think nuts and chocolate shavings are the way to go.

3. The Landlady(!) treated me to dinner!

For no good reason, she took me out to an East Side Indian restaurant.

I had Mulligatawny soup, chicken Bhuna, rice pilaf, aloo paratha and mixed pickles.

All of that was washed down with a super-sized Taj Mahal beer.

4. I tried a BK Impossible Whopper

Fixed as my usual whopper fashion, extra onion, tomato, and Mayo. I liked it better then the usual one.

5. Chicken and stuffing gluten free casserole...very easy and good with

a big salad and a vinaigrette dressing...for dessert a small chocolate bar.

6. Meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Was going to make a cobbler, but had a nap instead :)

7. Pan-fried catfish fillet, and corn on the cob

I coated it with cornmeal seasoned with salt & pepper. The fried it in a non-stick skillet using a very small amount of olive oil.

Lots of butter & salt on the corn. I have always loved corn on the cob.

8. making a variation on a copy of an excellent swedish airline chicken. finally figured out

the tomato paste. and green pepper, but i can improve that. i make a semi putinesca(sp) sauce. cherry tomatos, onions + celery + italian spices.

9. puttanesca

hahah, want to know how I know that?

Because when I first met the RG some 25 years ago, I would invite him over for dinner. Little did I know he was a culinary genius! If I'd known, I would have been too intimidated.

I would always fix him this recipe I found in the NY Times called "chicken puttanesca." He would always enjoy it, or at least he said he did.

Years later, he (fluent in Italian) told me "chicken puttanesca" meant "whore's chicken." He said he always loved being invited for whore's chicken.
