What's on the menu for everyone today??
We're having open-faced Hunan Pork Sandwiches and chips.
We watched the funniest movie last night - 'Prime' with Meryl Streep and Uma Thurman. We howled!!

I decided last night to switch up and make something light. We have had such heavy food this week. So I'm going to make Chicken Picatta and serve with a big salad.

Lamb and potato skillet.
Ingredients

1 medium leek, chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1/2 cup beef stock
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill weed or 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 medium potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch pieces (3 cups)

We have delicious rotisseried pork loin leftover from yesterday, so will be having Cuban sandwiches, with a green salad on the side.

Everything sounds so good. I just put Cubano burgers on the menu for next Tuesday.
Today is another favorite, pecan crusted chicken salad.

I love the flavors in this sandwich! Hoisin, honey, chili garlic sauce, rice vinegar, ginger...what's not to love??

It's supposed to open-faced, but that's hard to do when you're sharing.

Wow Jean, that looks really good!! What issue was that from?
We went out food shopping today and I think that was a little too much for Hubby. He pushes the cart and it's like he's using a walker, but I think the distance was too much for him. But we had already decided on take out from Saladworks because I'm tired of cooking (for now) and need some lighter fare.
I love the square bowls they use and may have to wash them out and keep them instead of throwing them away.
