Choose Your Own Adventure

This picture makes me crave iced tea.  It may also make me crave the other things in this picture, if only I could figure out what they are.

Whole wheat penne with:

a) chicken thigh with Cajun spices

b) chicken breast with Cajun spices

c) pork chop with Cajun spices

d) chicken thigh with generic Susannah spices (probably paprika, garlic, black pepper, salt, thyme)

e) chicken breast with generic Susannah spices

f) pork chop with generic Susannah spices

g) none of the above

I'm going to go with d or g.

Spinach salad with:

a) onions, gorgonzola, and dill

b) onions, feta, and dill

c) onions, weird pieces of apples or something, and dill

d) none of the above.

Probably a, perhaps in a lemon dressing.  I'm not sure why the dill is there; it throws me off a little and makes me wonder what I might have put with the chicken/pork/other.

All I know for sure, is that I probably should have added a soft-boiled egg somewhere.

BLT Sandwich and Hearty Winter Soup

When I told Zach I was doing this blog thing with all of the food pictures from my phone, he sent me this picture from his phone:

 

Our table looks much nicer with fancy wedding gifts on it: placemats, silverware caddy, pepper grinder

This is one of Zach's favorite meals that I have ever made.  Also, one of the more American meals I have ever made of my own free will.  Not that he doesn't like the normal foreign fare, he just really liked this sandwich.

I had the day off and had this waiting for him when he got back from work.  A BLT made from homemade bread, tomatoes from our garden, thick-sliced bacon, sriracha aioli, and some sort of lettuce (duh).  And Hearty Winter Soup made from butternut squash from our garden, potatoes, chicken (freezer--past manager's special), smoked sausage (current manager's special), and corn.  And iced tea, because you can't have such an American lunch without iced tea.
