But, given the pandemic rules, we dine at home these days.
And y'know, it's often better than the restaurant experiences.
For example, yesterday was The Wife's birthday and . . .
. . . our plates were filled with barbecued pork ribs and baked potatoes topped off with butter and salt and pepper and sour cream with garlic salt and parsley and chives!
I could eat that every day.
Except then I'd probably weigh 300 pounds!
The meal was perfection with a salad alongside.
One of Judy's specials of watermelon and mango and canteloupe with chopped mint from our herb pot gardens, as were the chives.
And garnished with an aromantic sprig of mint.
Yup, I think it was better than a restaurant meal.
And cheaper, too!
Wow! Somebody deserves a good tip!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to The Wife! Looks like a fabulous meal!
ReplyDeleteEven though sit down dining isn't possible, we've been eating take out almost exclusively. Yes, it's getting tiring and boring. My wife is working at home and doesn't feel like cooking because she gets a bit obsessive doing her lawyer stuff. And my job has gotten weird during the pandemic with my hours getting earlier and earlier.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cook.

There are few things better than ribs! It looks like a great meal!
ReplyDeleteAnd good company too.
ReplyDeleteDid you cook or did she have to cook on her birthday? I know she made the salad.
ReplyDeleteWe both did. She insisted and she is SWMBO.
ReplyDeleteEating at your place is always a delight. Who needs the restaurant?
ReplyDeleteJudy's B-Day meal looks wonderful.
Good eatin'. You definitely topped the restaraunt.
ReplyDeleteBelated Happy Birthday wish to your wife. That fruit salad looks delicious! I enjoy your cartoons so know where to come for a good laugh.
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone's safe and staying safe. I just read that the virus is mutating and getting much more dangerous. I don't want to alarm anyone but it's time to get right with God, cause this is getting downright scary! Stay home and stay safe, guys!
ReplyDeleteThat does look delicious. Cooking at home always has the potential to be better than most restaurants, so the main appeal is being somewhere else. Not on now!
ReplyDeleteWe are trying new recipes all the time to keep from getting bored. Also the disaster at the meat plants has inspired us to stop buying meat (sympathy for the horribly treated workers). So we have to think up new ways to cook, and ration out what meat is left in the freezer.

Wow, that looks so delicious! I've had baked potatoes at home recently but I didn't have the sour cream. That just looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI'd go more for the ribs than baked potato.
