Who doesn’t like food on a stick? Here’s what I cooked this week:
Sweet and sour chicken kabobs with jasmine rice
Apple crisp
Granola bars
Spaghetti with cherry tomatoes & broccoli
Marble loaf cake
Tortillas
Deviled eggs
Tomato soup
Spinach fried rice
Club sandwiches
Vegetable soup (to go with the sandwiches)
Custard pudding
Taco salad
No knead whole wheat bread
Healthier chocolate chip (mini) cookies
I’m not giving up on making mini cookies to cut down on sugar, even though someone else who lives here keeps eating two. He says I should be happy because he’s not using them to make an ice cream sandwich! 😍
Approaching my 80th birthday seems like a good time to ruminate on all the things I regret. I’m listing all the things I regret that are safe to share without a visit from the police department. 👮♀️
Not taking more pride in my day-to-day appearance. When I walk out of my beautiful home, people assume I work for the owner.
Ordering dark chocolate online… in the summer! ☀️
Not staying in touch with childhood friends.
Assuming I’d never forget how to apply black eye liner.
Giving up on making pork chops. I love pork chops but not my pork chop door stops.
Never learning how to tap dance.
Doing my own highlights with the shower cap and a crochet hook.
Not being open to trying new foods, but oysters? Really? 🦪🦪
I think I have too many spatulas.
Never trying yoga because you have to wear yoga pants.
Not going to my reunion because I was having a bad hair day.
NEW RECIPE: I love Chinese food and sweet & sour chicken is one of my favorites. I usually make it in a pan but this time I didn’t feel like washing too may dishes so I made kabobs! It was actually easier to make this way and there is almost no cleanup. So I am not going back to the pan version. Plus kabobs just look so pretty. 😋
But remember this: Use fresh pineapple. There is no comparison to the limp and soggy stuff you get in a can. I only use canned pineapple juice for the marinade and that’s okay. Whenever I make kabobs, there is never a shred of leftovers. That’s not the case with my sardine cakes!
