What is for dinner? (May5 09)

[jfain]

I haven't been cooking much this week. While I was in Mexico my company had layoffs. The layoffs in my department mean I have to work a lot more evening shifts so I'm not home to cook dinner. I made a big pot of pasta with roast chicken, tomatoes and corn put it in individual containers and that has been my dinner. Today though I made suppa de lima inspired by my trip to Mexico. That is what I will have for dinner tonight.

Tomorrow I work a double-shift and will only have time to shower and sleep, so tonight I made a large bowl of tuna-pasta salad to fast-grab for my next half-dozen meals, in a hurry. Mixed-up a whole lb. of cooked ziti, tuna and a splash of lemon, dill, chopped tomato, cuke, broccoli florettes, ripe olives, and some cucumber-ranch dressing. Purty yummy!

Tonight after work I'm going to do a fast dinner on the grill. Grilled sausages and grilled marinated zucchini with a nice sauvignon blanc. I'm so glad it's warm enough to sit on the deck for dinner again.

I am sorry about the turn of events at your job and the pressure it is putting on you. I hope things will be OK and that you'll weather the storm. I hate to read things like that, especially when it cuts into your home life and spending time with your hubby and cooking!

Cookie, I had a pair of split hot-dogs w/ a coupla fried over-hard eggs for breakfast this morning- YUM!

And jfain- I second Cathy's kind remarks about your work situation. Best and hopeful wishes for that...

I love hotdogs with homemade sauce.
Today we had buttermilk fried chicken legs and salad.

Thanks guys but I just have to remember the people who were laid off have it worse than I do. My heart goes out to them.

Last night after work though I made myself a portabello mushroom sandwich with roasted garlic mayo and blue cheese and washed it down with a nice glass of red wine. That was a great way to end my work week. Today I have a day off so I'm going to plant the seedlings I've had growing from seed in our little green house.
