A Good Homecooked Meal Can Change A Lot

Two Things Thursday #21
1. Monday Night’s Dinner was incredibly delicious and was as follows: kale with onions, cherry tomatoes, yellow peppers, and various seasonings, an open-faced baked potato with dairy-free cheese (one thing I hate about the dairy-free cheese is that it takes FOREVER to melt) & butter, salt & pepper, and a mouthwatering steak.
I was so happy to have leftovers of this meal, and if I were completely okay with it, I’d slap myself for how good it was!
I stuck my whole foot in this meal (if you or your relatives are from the South, you’ll know what this saying means)! And I am happy it turned out the way it did–super YUMMY!
2. Maxine 4th of July Funny Quote . . . because, why not?! I love this character and her sassiness and quick-witted retorts! I thought it would be cool to share a funny quote for today and Maxine is a great go-to for this!
For those of you who celebrate, please be safe, have fun, enjoy your family & friends, and also have some great food, too. Please do not let me read about you in the digital papers/magazines or see you on the news!
Peace and blessings.
Thursday Night’s Dinner
For dinner, I made fried colossal shrimp and a side salad on Thursday night. For the shrimp, I used the same wet batter as I did for my fried chicken: dairy-free milk, one egg, and various seasonings. Cornmeal (yellow) is what I used to coat/dredge them in instead of flour.
The salad is spinach, cucumbers, strawberries, blueberries, cherry tomatoes, onions, and Feta cheese. The dressing, applied later, was Ranch.
I had an extra tartar sauce from my seafood dinner from last weekend and I most certainly used it, along with some ketchup as dipping sauces for the shrimp.
It was truly a tasty delight!
For Friday night, I had the remaining shrimp, roasted red potatoes, and cucumbers with onions, strawberries, Feta cheese, and Ranch dressing.
Here’s hoping all of you will have an incredible weekend. Happy Saturday!
Two Things Thursday #17
1. Tuesday Night Dinner was a delectable treat. I hadn’t cooked fried chicken in an extremely long time.
I made a decent wet batter (two eggs, lactose-free milk, olive oil, and various spices). I used yellow cornmeal instead of flour and fried them in vegetable oil.
My Jasmine rice was simple: water, olive oil, and salt. The sweet corn was as well: white & yellow corn, salt, pepper, lactose-free milk, water, and light brown sugar.
I had leftovers for Wednesday, and it was even more delicious at that time!
2. Oscar De La Hoya Quote: I used to be a huge fan of this incomparable former boxer. His personality was always top-notch during interviews and he let his fists do the talking in the boxing ring all the time.
I don’t recall him ever being a massive trash-talker. He held his own. He may not have blown through all of his matches, but the guy was a LEGIT warrior in the ring.
And he was/is handsome, too.
The quote above struck me as instantly motivational. Judging from those few words, he didn’t allow anyone to limit what he could do. And well . . . isn’t that how we all should be?

A Short Break
Hello, beautiful people. I have decided I need to take a short break away from WordPress. It’s long overdue.
I will be back at it next Tuesday, March 26, 2024, with the next “A Tuesday Snapshot” photo prompt. I hope tomorrow and the upcoming weekend and Monday will be kind to you all.
For now, I’ll leave you with a few images of a dish I cooked last night: coconut curry shrimp (jumbo) with red & green peppers, Roma tomatoes, fresh garlic, onions, spinach, and Jasmine rice.
I’ll see you guys next Tuesday. Be good to yourselves.
Peace and blessings.
