What did you cook or eat today (June 2023)?

No pic, but back on the salad.

I found a bottled salad dressing that’s only 1 WW point for 2 TB - that’s extremely low for a ranch-style dressing.

Tastes. Like. . Back to making my own, which I enjoy doing most days, anyway.

I fed him cheese grits with bacon I n and 3 over easy fried eggs for his breakfast (at noon). I'm his short order cook but I usually don't eat the same thing I feed him. I also rarely ask him what he wants and I just make it for him. It's ready after he gets out of the shower.

Same here,I quite often cook 2 different meals.
Saturday my wife loves grilled bacon and scrambled eggs. I make them especially for her. I dont like that in the morning. I normally don't eat before midday.
I buy 4 x 500gm packs and freeze. Butcher does them $10 ea. I have about 8 packs in the freezer atm. I never run out.

Do most diners over there do grits??
I always see them on restaurant menu menus.

Me too! When there's a sale I stock up on bacon. I also cook a whole pound at once. I give him 3 pieces and put the rest in a zip lock bag so the next time I just microwave a few for 15 seconds.

It's a southern thing mostly. He didn't think he liked grits until he ate mine. Hell, I don't like them unless I make them!

Lol.
This is very similar. I buy 4 packs at a time. 3 go in the freezer. 1 gets opened and split into 6 pieces. ( usually 12 a pack) other frozen. 6 put into new sealable bag cooked over next 2 Saturdays. 3 cooked at a time. Mid loin bacon. I cut the big meaty bit off and use pizzas etc.. grilled her bacon crispy,
.my wife knows she's spoilt!!

And you still haven't eaten tea yet?

Russ

I find tea very hard to eat. I can't keep it on the fork.

I realize you are not asking me, but my own experience is that people are mixed about grits. My dad likes them, I do not. A lot of breakfast menus offer a choice of grits OR hash browns with your meal. I always go with hash browns.

Grits? They are ground corn, very much like polenta, but using a different corn. Polenta is made with yellow corn, and grits with white corn. So, you could substitute polenta. At breakfast, people eat grits with butter, and maybe add cinnamon, syrup, brown sugar, or other sweet stuff... sort of like oatmeal. Or you can go savory with cheese, chopped bacon/sausage, etc.
