What's for Dinner, Fri., March 27, 2026

I'm starting off with steamed broccoli over quinoa and topped with sesame sauce.

next up will be Chicken Marbella. My friend Myra lived close to the Silver Palate and we would get this on weekends when I visited. It has a marinade made of olive oil, vinegar, prunes, olives, capers, bay leaves, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper.

Kombucha: strawberry-passion fruit.

Dessert: hot Earl Grey and a chocolate chip biscotti.

I sauteed some chicken, with onion, mushrooms, and pepperoni, added some red sauce. Topped it with some Parmesan and shredded mozzarella. Had some frozen blueberries, too.

My wife went out for an early dinner with friends at a Thai restaurant and just brought me back an order of veggies and tofu pad Thai. This particular restaurant does a great job with this dish; it’s still so flavorful without fish sauce or eggs. Cheers!🥂

Spaghetti and meat sauce. TJ made a very tasty meat sauce, although she disagrees with my opinion that bell peppers belong in the sauce.
Garlic bread
I'll eat a salad later on this evening unless a pasta coma ensues.

Ducky was very entertaining by spinning around under a dangled "nu-nu" and snapping at it. Not a single piece of pasta escaped him. He is ever vigilant when it comes to human food and we had fun too.

A piece of fried chicken each, plus Lebanese stuffed veg (cabbage, grape leaves and zucchini) and baked kibbee, and a small side of pasta puttanesca.

All good and I can now see some empty shelf space in there. There's just enough still left for me to have an interesting breakfast tomorrow.
