We had roast beef, gravy, potatoes, green beans, salad tonight. Sunday is our potluck day, and we are doing soups and stews. I'm making beef stew (using the roast) as well as chicken enchilada soup (a favorite of my guys, hands down). 

That sounds delicious! In fact, it ALL sounds delicous and is somewhat like my wife and I do.

Tonight my wife is going to buy some pizzas while she's at the grocery store on the way home from work. She's been getting Red Baron lately because they have stopped selling Wild Mikes. We don't eat store-bought pizza very often, but since she'll be right there at the store, there really isn't any reason for her to go elsewhere.

Tonight is chicken tenders and fries. I don't know if Vivian and I will ever get back to being able to eat a regular meal on a regular basis. When one can't taste the food they're making or eating, it doesn't really seem to make one want to spend an lot of time cooking!

We'll have leftovers from the potluck. There's a bit of mom's bean soup left, and some of the stew. So I'll probably make some biscuits to go along with it.

I'm in a quarantine hotel in Taiwan, it's been almost two weeks, I have another day and then freedom! But I just wanted to share the different lunchbox meals the hotel provided. I didn't take a picture of every meal , but this will give you an idea of what typical Taiwanese food looks like.

  

My favorite, pork dumplings and corn soup.

How they delivered my food.

Tonight we're having a Red Baron pizza and a side salad. We do this sometimes on Tuesday nights because of the Bible studies I attend.

Tonight we're having my famous Sloppy Joe's, fries and applesauce!  This is what my wife wanted. She said if I changed it to make my famous spaghetti! I love to cook!

No cooking tonight, I have to fill n for my pastor, so I leave home too early to cook, I live and hour and a half from my church. So, for me it will be cooked chicken strips from a market in town. If I have to do this I usually gets the chicken, take it to a city park and eat it there, then it's on to church to preach. That's the plan for tonight.

I'll be praying for the service. We don't always get to go to Wednesday services, as my wife get's home right around the time they start. I don't drive much anymore, and our services start at 6 PM instead of 7 like most Baptist churches I've been in.

Tonight I did McCain's homestyle fries, burger and some leftover Heinz beans.

This evening's fare is going to be chicken thighs, apple sauce, green beans, and a side salad! Good eatin'!

Brother Tony, we also have our services at 6pm. I agree, it is a bit early from what I have been historically used to. For all the years I was in Alaska we always had evening service at 7pm. This worked well because it gave those who worked time to get home, have dinner and get to church.

So here, our services being at 6pm, means I have to leave home quire early, and even earlier when I have to fill in for our pastor. But all is well, I don't mind going early and driving long distances. It s a lot better than when there was no church to go to.

Thank you for praying for our services, I am sure it helped.

Sounds good, I would rather have the dark meat than the white, it is much more flavorful and moist. How are yours prepared? I do it two different ways; one way is to bake in the oven with seasoned salt and garlic; the other is to cut the thighs in smaller pieces and pan fry slowly.

Both ways produce wonderful juice for gravy. Gravy is a "must have" for chicken around here.

I sometimes bake them, and once in a while I will fry them. I like the baking method better as it doesn't use any oil in a pan. I don't need the extra fat! Got to watch the diabetes, you know!  But, I like to make a gravy from the drippings either way. Any of the drippings or gravy that aren't used are frozen and then put into a huge chicken and dumplings during the fall and winter. My wife is more fond of the white meat, but over the past 38 years, I've gotten her to start buying the dark cuts. She agrees that they DO have more flavor. We usually are able to make a chicken salad out of a combination of the two. Delicious!

Yum! The food looks delicious, but I'm sure you're glad to be outta there!

I'm not sure what we'll be having for dinner tonight. We still have leftover stew and bean soup from Sunday, and hubs is working on clearing them up. So that might be it, with some salad.

My wife wants chicken tenders and fries tonight! We'll probably have a salad along with this. Meals since the virus have been quite simple for me to make, especially since I don't have the strength back that I had before we experienced the virus for the second time! Thankful for the simple things.
