I did not want to cook tonight, but we still had to eat. Come to think of it, I did not want to cook this noon either. At noon we had sliced summer sausage, cubed cheddar cheese, two kinds of crackers and black grapes. Tonight...

I just finished cleaning the kitchen after making dinner. It was breakfast for dinner, partially because it was late and partially because I didn't thaw anything else. So I made toast, scrambled cheese eggs, bacon and cheese...
