What did you have for dinner tonight? A new twist on an old favorite.

I went to Trader Joe's this afternoon with a shopping list. Steak was not on that shopping list. But as I was loading up my lox, coffee, cranberry juice, apples, and other goodies, I realized I needed a steak. A looked for the best marbled steak I could find, brought it home, cooked it up at 500 degrees (so the outside could be dark and the center rare) and enjoyed it with mashed potatoes I had from Safeway. I am a satisfied man. About three weeks ago, the same thing happened to me, but I was slightly less hungry than I was tonight. That night I had a smaller steak but had only toast with butter and avocado on the side. That too was satisfying. What did you have for dinner tonight? Inquiring minds want to know.

I just got home from my road trip, so I grabbed a dinner out of the freezer (baked chicken and mashed potatoes) and had that, along with some pears. You win the dinner contest!

Green beans. I didn't eat it for long time so it was great.

We went to TJ's earlier too. I had to plan on the spot what we could have for dinner tonight - tacos and guacamole came to mind. TJ's avocados are too hard and we don't like their pre-made guac anymore . . . so I had to get the rest of the ingredients at another grocery store. Next week I want to do steak tacos !

@TheHorse I normally get my avocados at Sprouts (do you have that up there . . . it's a store kinda in between TJs and Whole Foods).

That sounds good as well. Was here a sauce on the swordfish? I rarely eat fish on my own.

@TheHorse I had rye bread with salami and cheese. Our heavy or warm meal is traditionally during our lunchtime here in Germany. So the evening meal was just rye or brown bread with some cheeses or cut salami or ham.

lol. You and that Trader Joe's. I cannot imagine how much money you must be making to be able to afford not buying actual groceries.

Well, I'm doing better cleaning headlights in a local parking lot than I did as a psychologist. I don't mean to brag, but...cha-ching!

My Portuguese friend from here likes it as well. A bit greasy for me.

I had a pre-made Signatiure Southwest salad from Safeway and a piece of French bread. I'll have steak Thursday and it will be so worth waiting for. I have vegetables and a few other things I have to get eaten up 1st.

Sometimes we end up buying something that's not on our list. Actually I often just have 'meat' and leave it to Vince to buy whatever he feels like cooking.

@TheHorse Meat could be pork, chicken, lamb or beef. A steak is good occasionally.
