Went to Burgerville earlier tonight. It's a NW chain that's exceptionally good; they use Tillamook cheddar and thick-sliced pepper bacon on their bacon-cheeseburgers.

Want halibut fish 'n chips? They gotcha covered.

They also have shake-of-the-month, this month's is chocolate hazelnut. And they aren't kidding when they say hazelnut, it was like Frangelico without the kick. They also have a huckleberry shake which is too good for mortals. They use locally-grown beef, free range chicken, fish from the coast and locally-grown veggies. You can even opt for Yukon Gold potatoes for your fries.

So that was dinner. Tonight, I gave the liquid Jell-O a miss and I'm having hot cocoa instead. Can NEVER have enough chocolate...

Six-Hour Mushroom-Barley-Beef-Veggie soup (Slo-Cookers are so nice) and Cheddar sammiches (black wax cheddar, btw-found a place that carries it).
Nasty weather here, appropriate food.

Oooohhh, this weekend I went to the horse Expo and ate overpriced middle-American CRAP! French bread Hawaiian pizza, thin clam chowder, donuts, crackers and caramel popcorn (small was $5! ). The best thing I had all weekend was an orange and I shared that with a sweet young Friesian gelding that was flirting with me. No wonder my whole body ached and all my joints creaked and groaned by Sunday evening.

Today wasn't a whole lot better. I had oatmeal for breakfast and granola bars for lunch. Too late for dinner, was too busy writing so I skipped that. Bad, I know.

I'll make up for it tomorrow. Plum-orange-strawberry smoothie for breakfast, honey-and-jam sandwich for lunch, and baked petrale sole in a cashew-flax-cornmeal crust with confetti pepper slow-cooker rice in chicken broth for dinner.

Some good news...I picked up a maple butcher block with a drawer full of knives, kitchen shears and a carving fork for $20 at the Sportsman's Guide site, shipping included. It's taken a pride-of-place position next to my range where I can easily access it.

Steak!! love it

rice and baked salmon

parmesan chicken and peas. mmm... peas

TACOS!!! Just about to sit down right now an feast on them

Nothing on the plate at the moment, but I have $5 in my pocket and I'm about to go to the store. I'm thinking either turkey leg or salmon fillet and serve it with garlic-saffron smash red potatoes and a berry smoothie.

Wanna hear about last night's? Fettucine alfredo with Dover sole and Sprinz cheese.

A bread with cheese and salami

Planters' Simply NUTS Cocoa Peanuts!

A tuna sub and 4+/- glasses of champagne (long story)
