Skinless chicken breast with vegetables and maybe a baked potato.

It came out a lot better than I expected.  Other than burning my finger pulling out a toothpick, it was an excellent dinner.

Tonight:

Fire-kissed medallions of boeuf de sirloin seasoned with coarse Mediterranean sea salt and fresh ground Vietnamese peppercorns; served with thick slices of extra-sharp Wisconsin Cheddar cheese, Danish bleu cheese in a creamy sauce, sun-ripened free-range cruelty-free heirloom tomatoes, freshly torn Iceberg lettuce (unfortunately not cruelty-free), and julienned Kosher dill pickles. All locally sourced.

Cheeseburgers with blue cheese dressing. Everything was purchased from the local Dillon's (Kroger) and paid for at the self-serve checkout.

Low carb goodness!

I saw a great YouTube video on poaching eggs in the microwave.  Fill a small bowl with enough water to cover an egg and crack an egg or two into it.  Cover the bowl with a small plate and microwave it for 60 seconds or until the eggs are done.

I'm seriously going to try this.

If you liked poached eggs try what we do.  We put chicken bullion cubes in the water.  It makes a huge difference.  It would probably work in the microwave too.

What came first ? The egg or the bullion cube ?

You should pierce the center of the egg yolk with a tooth pick before microwaving.  They explode easily and not easy to clean up.

I've boiled the water in the micro first, before adding the egg, pierce the yolk, then cooked it on half power, covered. 

You should also experiment with power and time.  Microwaves are all different on how much power they put out.

The yolk is almost all fat, and that's what the microwaves attack.  Same with sugars.

Oh jeezus!  I better stay away from microwaves!

No wise cracks about the fat part of that statement above...

Those are pretty close to the instructions on the video.  They didn't mention pre-heating the water, only to use a small bowl with enough water to cover the egg, and to cover the bowl with a plate.  The cooking time was about one minute per egg on the highest setting.

I hear that wise Latinas have wise cracks, and fat ones have fat cracks.

Kansas City babyback ribs and sweet potato.

Andouille chicken red beans and rice.

That sounds good.

I'm making a big pot of ham hocks & beans, with carrots, celery, and onions. Corn bread for the side.

[Chris_]

Roasted turkey breast, mashed potatoes, and homemade gravy.

The turkey breast came with a bag of gravy inside.  I'm going to try making my own instead.
