I know, I know, it's not politics, but the primitives tend to be really shallow and confused when it comes to politics, so mocking their political threads is like shooting fish in a barrel; not sporting.

What's for Dinner, Thursday, May 28
It's a little early to start this I guess, but I've already had lunch (when you get up at 5 AM, meals are scattered - 10, 3, 6, bedtime).
Lunch was Monterey Jack cheese slices on club crackers, pop-in-the-mouth yellow cherry tomatoes (Sunburst?), olives, feta cheese in Romaine "scoops", watermelon, a glass of Merlot.
So, for dinner - some sort of a dish with a nice bit of left over pork loin chop. Thinking stir fry.
But first, a walk around town.

1. enjoy your walk!
i have a pound of ground beef that needs used, so i'll probably just do a quick meat sauce when i get home and serve it over egg noodles.

3. stuffed peppers
I bought a huge assortment of peppers and I hope I can make a sauce similar to the one the RG made for pasta last week. Using ground lamb. I have poblanos (not too hot, tried them), bell, etc.
Stir-fry broccoli.

5. Pineapple-citrus marinated chicken
done on the grill. With "enhanced" Mexican rice (I like to fold in spicy pico de gallo after the rice is cooked). As for the veggie, I have no clue. I'm "beaned out" for this week (overload), so I'll come up with something eventually.
And... beer. Day off tomorrow.

6. I made some killer Polenta last night so tonight will be.....
Polenta cakes with two toppings.....A sautee of yellow cherry tomatoes and onions along with a basil cream. The polenta has lots of parm and a touch of mascarapone so they are rather rich...and did I mention butter?
I'll make a big salad with an avocado dressing. I am suffering badly with the epitome of a first world problem...avocados that all ripen at the same time! Damn you Costco
And to top it off I made a small Italian Cream Cake with the rest of the Mascarapone so I have dessert covered too.

14. I'm visiting my sweetie, so we went out to celebrate National Hamburger Day at a small bar in
downtown Lansing. It was a perfect night--I was with my favorite person, beautiful weather for outside dining (78F with a light breeze), great 1/3 lb olive burger, medium, on a brioche bun & sweet potato fries. Discovered an AWESOME blueberry hard cider from Uncle John's Cider Mill (St. Johns, MI). I will have to find some. Not too sweet, great blueberry flavor & just enough alcohol to make it fun. It was perfection. And after dinner I kicked ass watching "Jeopardy."

15. olive burger!?
I've never heard of that, but it intrigued me, so I Googled it. Lots of recipes. I'm going to be trying this soon. I really love this idea. Yummly has a lot of olive burger recipes, and some are even for vegetarians:
http://www.yummly.com/recipes/green-olive-burger
The blueberry hard cider also sounded good, so I checked out my local wine store. I found some blueberry wheat beer and some blueberry wine. but no blueberry cider. I did learn that my state, NJ, is the second largest blueberry grower in America. There is a cider mill in the next town over, but I think they only do apple cider.
It sounds like you had one of those times where everything just came together. Life can be so good, yes?

16. Hard cider is a growing trend here. I've tried some lemon cider, good as is and makes a great cooler
1 part cider, 3 parts Merlot, 1 part soda, over ice. Garnish at will.
