Dear sweet old Lu must be off today; apparently she doesn't understand moderating (or hostessing) is a seven-day-a-week job.

1. Tacos!
Ground beef, which is my favorite.
And some guacamole I am going to make from a most excellent avocado recently brought to me by a friend.
Leftover succotash also on the menu. I made it by grilling corn, green beans, scallions and tomatoes on my new cast iron grill - also recently sent to me by a friend!

6. the kids come over for Sunday dinners

8. I miss Sunday family dinners and hope that there will be more in my future.
Glad it was good and hope you were surrounded by love and smiling faces.

7. Well, I was going to bake some chicken...
Didn't much like the smell when I cleaned it, shoved it into the oven anyway. Went back to sniff about 30 minutes later. REALLY didn't like the smell. Took the chicken down to the trash. Called a local Chinese place and ordered mu shu beef and barbecued pork. Very good and not spoiled.

9. Ugh, that is one horrible smell.
And once I get a whiff of it, I just can't eat it.
Good for you for tossing it.
Expiration dates don't mean a thing sometimes, but the smell test is irrefutable.

10. I'd intended to cook it on Friday.
But it got warmer than predicted and -- despite air conditioning -- I didn't want to turn on the oven then. LOL, didn't even notice the expiration and now it's in a dumpster so I won't go check.
It wasn't worth keeping and certainly not a good idea to eat it for the next four days.

11. I was going to have a fairly big dinner party one night.
I had to search high and low to find kosher* chicken to accommodate a friend. I found it, it looked good and when it was time to cook it, I discovered the smell.
Can't remember what I did, but I was panicked.
Just can't eat bad chicken.
*wants to brag that some of her best friends are of Judaic derivation.

12. That must have been awful!
I can see why you panicked. At least my solution was simple.
<<<had brown rice, broccoli, and cheese, with a mountain of sour cream heaped on it, for supper.
<<<has better palate than the primitives do.
