Quinoa Pilaf With Chipotle, Queso Fresco and Peanuts

I added a little beef (half pound), a bit of extra cheese, and perhaps forgot to add the peanuts.  One forgets how filling quinoa can be when you eat it.  This was pretty good and tasty and relatively easy to do.

Quesadillas (per C's suggestion and Shannon's Approval)

Cheese + ground chicken + spices.  Easy peasy dinner.  Thanks for the suggestion C.

Cholent

I'm forgetful.  I'm going to start soaking the beans today for Monday.

Grilled Cheese

So as part of my first trip out (oil change for Shannon's Car, La Mie, Cheese Shop, Office (to wipe down my cube and get all my drinkware)), I headed down to the cheese shop, got some provisions, after I realized that I had forgotten to soak the beans for the Cholent.  A nice selection of cheese, a bit of mortadella, and there we go a little bit of grilled cheese.  Shannon suggested that perhaps we could do this with some apple butter.  I had my doubts, but tried some of the La Mie bread with a bit of cheese and mortadella.  Unlike some things, I had to remember that Blue Gate doesn't add so much sugar to make their jams to sweet and it worked, maybe not the revelatory combination that you get sometimes, but a very good one.  So I followed her suggestion and moved forward.  Good meal  We had Black Cat Ice Cream later for dessert (from delivery, Cookie Monster, I believe).

Pork Burgers

Good as always.
