What's for Dinner Tonght?

We decided to have an early dinner tonight. Why? 1. With Barry moving through Louisiana, it is bringing rains to southern Mississippi as well. I don't want to lose power and then be forced to eat a sandwich or pop tarts or something else right out of a package. 2. We were all three hungry. Enough said (LOL). 3. Eating early gets the kitchen cleaned up early and hopefully early to bed. I'm tired. I was still awake at 3:30 am this morning waiting for the storm to hit land. So early to bed will be fine with me. I'm sure we will wake up to some thunder and lightning at some point during the night. So what did we have for dinner? I popped a meatloaf into the oven and fixed some black-eyed peas. I also fixed a tossed green salad with tomatoes and cucumbers from my daughter's father in law's garden. I also tossed in some shredded cheese and croutons. What did you have for dinner tonight? Photo: Pixaby, public doman

That sounds good and I am assuming it is a homegrown tomato? So far so good with the weather. There are some bad storms still off the coast that will be moving in tonight.

@CarolDM I still have a couple from my daughter's father in law's garden. I have a couple of tomato plants out, but tomatoes are still green.

@kareng Yes, the tomatoes my neighbors brought over I talked about a few days ago. Stay safe!

Long live the meatloaf. I am a huge fan of it, and I am probably due for one very soon. Just love it.

@kareng In our house I am pretty much the cook. But when it comes to meatloaf I leave that to the wife. It's one of only a couple of dishes she makes, but she has a mean meatloaf recipe I just can't top.

I have an early dinner everyday. It helps me wind up my kitchen early and be in bed in time. On weekdays my day starts pretty early at 5:30 AM. I hope the rain and thunderstorm passes quickly with no damage. Stay safe.

@arunima25 I'm sorry to hear about the extensive flooding in your country. We have to get through tonight and tomorrow with rain still falling.

@kareng Good to know that. We have a cloudy weather since a week or more but not much rain. However, many parts of our country are flooded due to excessive rain and a lot has been damaged.

If it would have been just me, I would have done the same thing and added more veggies to the salad.

I didn't have dinner last night. I had a steak and potato for lunch along with a creamy cucumber salad. It was enough with what I had for breakfast. Surprisingly, I didn't wake up hungry, so it was all good.

A piece of fried egg and a cup of boiled rice. Then a glass of avocado smoothie after dinner.
