My wife is always wanting me to let her cook. She works all day and I work around here all day. Even when my business was at its peak, I still found time to cook, clean, do laundry and attend to the ‘fix-it’ list. That’s also along with rebuilding two bathrooms, a deck and a kitchen. Our agreement is that she can cook on the weekends.

Last nights dinner was simple but good. Tonight, however, I have an official request; Pizza! My wife has been on a rather strict diet for about 8 months now. She and I both are dying for a pizza. I have been cooking to please her and keep her on track with her diet. So tonight, screw the diet! It’s pizza: A plain pepperoni and cheese for me and a white pizza for her; made from scratch.

Honestly, I wish I could say that it was something spectacular. Unfortunately, I can’t. dinner was nothing more than a few humble center-cut pork chops that I marinated in Speedie Sauce, vacuum sealed and threw into the freezer. I threw them on the grill along with a couple of zucchinis that I marinated in a homemade Italian Balsamic vinaigrette. We also had some of my macaroni salad leftover from the weekend. That’s it.

Yes, thank you. Fortunately it passed SC and seemed to skim your area. The rest of my family got beat up. They're scattered between Huntington and Sag Harbor on LI. My niece is only a stone's throw from the CT river. They got hammered but all are ok.
One of my best friends lives on the second highest spot on LI. I sent him a simple message yesterday morning; "Run Forrest... run!"
Have a great day. God bless.

The old owl has been in the “Owl-spital” for a bit. Seems as though I can’t yack-up ‘owl pellets’ like I used to. Oh well. The doctors advised that I stay on somewhat of a liquid diet for a while. Great, I thought! The first thing that came to mind was… Guinness. Unfortunately it was not their first choice.

BTW, I’d appreciate it if you would show me how to post photos, again, in the discussion groups. I’m also suffering from “CRS;” (can’t remember s_ _ _).

Thank you, but I’m going to have to abstain. I’m trying to downsize in my old age. I’ve given up on collectables. I never collected owl artifacts as I did penguins. It was thought that, at one time, I had the largest penguin artifact collection in the world. I gave away over 1000 of them before moving from NY in 2001. I sold hundreds on e-bay. I’ve kept a few favorites. If no one wants the lamp, I suggest e-bay. God bless.

Now there’s a tall order: Half Hour Meals? There isn’t a whole lot that I can accomplish within those parameters. Honestly, I come here for inspiration. Even though I’ve been cooking for over 50 years, with a short break as some-what of a professional chief, come dinner time… I usually come up short on ideas and inspiration. Besides, my cooking has always consisted of a spoonful of this, a pinch of that, and so on; which is difficult to put on paper. :-)

Sorry to hear that. Are you on a specific doctor ordered diet or just trying to cut back on your own?
If the doctor allows it I can give you a couple of choices to satisfy your cravings. Brownies try NoPudge, they are a mix you add yogurt to. So they are lower in calories and fat. Ice cream try Skinny Cow Mini Fudge Bars, only 50 calories & very good flavor. They have other ice cream desserts but all have more calories.
I have been thinking about giving up soda myself. Hang in there u can do it.
