My local grocery store on my drive home has clearance meat where the sell by date is either tomorrow or the next day. I picked up two steaks at 50% off! They were thin (which Tony loves – NOT!) and I may have overcooked them a tad. But Ed sure liked the bones!
But this afternoon I was doing some dictation, when all of a sudden I could feel myself start to sweat – sure sign my blood sugar is going down! I quickly checked and it was 67 and falling. The night before my office had a function, and I remembered there was leftover artichoke dip! Now, I hate almost everything individually, but put together – its amazing! The only thing I needed to watch out for was onions! If there were any in here, I sure couldn’t taste it. I had 5 crackers with dip:
I made thin slices of garlic bread. I used this cheese mixture that you mix with olive oil for bread dipping. They turned out good!
I sauteed mushrooms for Tony’s steak – I LOVE the smell of mushrooms, just can’t stand the chewy texture.
Mine, sans mushrooms! I probably ate about 2/3 of the steak.
And since Hannah doesn’t really like red meat – she heated up some fish sticks!
I am struggling with a couple ideas for the BSI recipe this week, mainly because I don’t really like sweet potatoes! But I have two co-workers who are going to be my guinea pigs! They suggested a recipe and I melded a few recipes and plan on putting it together tomorrow night to bring for their lunch on Friday. My friend R stopped by my desk today and said “I can’t wait til Friday!” It’s nothing Tony or Hannah would ever eat, so they become the beneficiaries!
See you at breakfast!
In NC I remember my parents (and eventually me) always stopping by a day-old produce cart where stuff would be ridiculously cheap. There was also a section for reduced meats, too. They’d put big orange stickers on them saying “Reduced.”
Maybe Jewel just doesn’t do it (where we primarily shop) but I never see any reduced sections.
Well, except for a cart in the middle of an aisle every now and then with marked down jars and cans. Last week Johnny and I sifted through one, we found a jar of hearts of palms that had expired in 1999!! A bargain at .79c, but we passed.
Wow, everything looks delicious – especially the steak! That is awesome that they mark them down!
Delicious eats!
