What's for dinner (or dindins as my mother would call it)?

I had leftover Coconut cashew curry, Naan bread and shrimp biryani rice. I'm liking my chops like a cat. Went out for dinner last night.

The meals we ate were so good... fresh eggs, unpasteurized milk. Yummy.

with bowtie pasta on the side, four-cheese mashed potatoes and a small can of Bush's baked beans. Hubby made up a yummy bowl of cold oranges slices, big green grapes and a chilled banana sliced in half. Lorna Doones for dessert with cheddar cheese slices. YUM!!!!

19. O applegrove, I'm lucky

I didn't make any of it. Crab cakes are from Frisch’s restaurant and so is the bowtie pasta. My husband stops in each week and buys them for me. DELICIOUS! (He'd love them too, but he's a vegan.)

It's a Hello Fresh meal but this one was really fast to make. Probably a tiny bit of Haagen Das Bourbon Pecan Praline ice cream for dessert
