What's For Dinner - Part Deux

[Marilyn. 340]

well, I am going to have the leftover sgetti for lunch ...

not sure what dinner will be yet though

That concoction sound yummy Marilyn. I'd make that as well, but leave out the sugar. That's cute about your husband not liking chunky tomatoes. We had chicken noodle soup and a salad last night. Gene might be going out for supper before the game tonight, I don't know. I have some leftover chili in the fridge we could have, or soup again...but I'm running out of leftovers. Other than the chicken (rotisserie) that I buy at Costco, I've never bought other meat there. The other day when I was there, I bought two beef roasts, two pork roasts and some pork chops. I'm anxious to try a roast this weekend!

Costco has really good meat quality.

so I am hoping the hubby is home early today so that maybe we can eat dinner together..

today isn't his usual work day though.. I guess they are doing something with the computer systems over the weekend so they had to work today but they get Sunday off ... he said he might be home by 10 pm

Last night I made a pork roast I got from Costco. The meat was amazing. Very tasty, very tender. I made oven roast potatoes with it, and butternut squash. Mmmmm. Tonight is leftovers.
