Spaghetti and Italian sausage sauce

This is one of the things that is nearly never the same. The only significant change, was when I halved the meat in it. I caught some flack from a nurse monitoring me, when I explained how I had no idea what the fat content on the sausage was, or the beef I use, other then general guesses. There are Things I am willing to do to help in my health, less meat? sure, making meat be dry and meh with no fat? No.

Tuna Melt

I forgot to buy things like celery to put in here, so I ended up with small diced carrots and some peppers. It worked, but only just barely. This was done because on my last trip to Costco, specifically to buy gin, I still took a walk through, looking for gloves for administering medication for Freyja and stumbled on a multi-pack of tuna. I gave it a shot, it’s pretty good.

Egg and Bacon Sandwich on English muffin

Good as always, used the last up of that Lucky George bacon.

Nasi Goreng

Delayed?

Tarragon-Mustard Chicken Skewers (modified)

The tarragon looked a bit gross, so I skipped it. I ended up making it a little spicy. Stone ground dijon mustard, some hot honey that I got for Christmas, the lemon juice and garlic. Added a bit of dried mild pepper spice and set them in the fridge for a soak.

Eventually I took them out of the fridge and put them in a 400F oven on a half sheet pan and rack. and had them get some color on them. They turned out quite fantastic. Like enough so I wish I had written down the combination and ratios of items. This seems like a thing I’ll have to do again.

I served them on some giant flatbread (larger then a plate), halved (one for each of us) with fresh Blue Gate tomatoes, onions and perhaps some mustard. Good dinner.
