Chicken dinner. 3/20/26
Tonight was our typical Classic Chicken Dinner. It consisted of rotisserie chicken, chicken gravy, broccoli, and Idahoan mashed potatoes. The only real cooking I did was to steam the broccoli. John really enjoys this easy dinner. We make it often.

Corned beef and cabbage, potatoes, and carrots. 3/17/26
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I am about half English, a quarter German, and a quarter Irish by my imprecise reckoning. I know there were Sullivans and Martins in my past. So at least Sarah and I have some claim to … Continue reading

Convenience food. 3/12/26
We did not feel like going through the mess of a complicated dinner so we opted for air-frying fish fillets and making a packaged salad. It was easy and we enjoyed it.
