Cuban sandwiches tonight with the l/o pork, minus the roll for me. Making a chopped salad to have on the side.

The Kenneth Branagh films of Shakespeare are quite good and tend to be more faithful than many other films have been. Branagh may have some unusual casting at times (e.g. Denzel Washington, Keanu Reeves, Michael Keaton, et al, in Much Ado About Nothing), but it actually works

Thank you, Labs. I'll take all the help I can get!

Maryann, if you ever need encouragement or motivation, check out one of the greatest motivational speeches of all time, which is from Shakespeare's Henry V (and very well delivered by Branagh in his film version):
WESTMORLAND: O that we now had here
But one ten thousand of those men in England
That do no work to-day!
King: What's he that wishes so?
My cousin, Westmorland? No, my fair cousin;
If we are mark'd to die, we are enow
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.
God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmorland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say "To-morrow is Saint Crispian."
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say "These wounds I had on Crispin's day."
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words—
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester—
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be rememberèd-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

And, now a word about food....
These little frittatas are great and I have some for the freezer for 'later' snacks.![[Image: May%202%20Mini%20Frittata_zpsf6otzrlg.jpg]](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y72/cjdacook/2017%20COOKING%20PICTURES/May%202%20Mini%20Frittata_zpsf6otzrlg.jpg)

Ina's Zucchini and Goat Cheese Tart. Outstanding!

Shoot! I put last night's dinner on last week's thread! LOL!
Anyway, I'm making the Japanese Fried Chicken tonight with cheesy broccoli on the side. Weird combination, but what I was craving at the time.
BTW, congrats on the weight loss, Maryann!
RE: DINNER THREAD, 5/1/17 - 5/7/17 - cjs - 05-02-2017
Piddle Maryann, I meant to congratulate you, also! Good on you.
Oh, Labs, that looks good!
RE: DINNER THREAD, 5/1/17 - 5/7/17 - labradors - 05-02-2017
Jean, I think that's the best recipe I've tried from Barefoot Contessa. Don't skip the lemon zest.
RE: DINNER THREAD, 5/1/17 - 5/7/17 - Mare749 - 05-02-2017
Thanks, Jean and Daphne. It's not really a big deal. The first couple of weeks is mostly water weight, but it sure does help me feel better and keeping me motivated to stick it out.
Labs, isn't that just a beautiful speech. I'm really kind of fascinated with this now. This was not something that interested me in the least when I was in school.
Your frittatas are very pretty, Jean.
