I came home and found that my wife had made a big pot of hot dog chowder.
I know it sounds gross. But when I was a kid this was something my mom found the recipe for in a ladies magazine -- she was always looking for new recipes in those things. She made it for us, and lo and behold it turned out pretty good. When I got married it was one of just a few dishes that I asked for my wife to learn to make from my mom. Of course we don't have it very often and I have no idea what prompted my wife to make it today. But I'm glad she did. Not so much because it's all that great, but because of the memories associated with it. You see, I can't eat it without thinking about my mom. And my mom has been gone 2 years now, so it was good to just sit down on a cold evening with a bowl of hot chowder, and remember her.
I had rice and chicken. I have this most of the time, I don't like roti (flat bread) that much. I hate chewy food, it feels like I'm chewing on a slipper. I'm addicted to apples, especially green ones. I don't like desserts, it makes me feel sick.
I was looking at myself talking to myself and I realized this conversation...I was having with myself looking at myself was a conversation with myself that I needed to have with myself.
For several reasons I do most of the cooking. tonight I made kind of a fast unusual combination. Homemade cheese Raviolis not exactly what you would call Italian type actually closer to Polish Pirogues Stuffed with homemade cheese (Had to do something with the milk after it soured ) I did cheat and used canned spaghetti sauce (vegetarian) to pour over them and for the rest of the meal I made oven baked French fries and onion rings. Both of us prefer them baked and not fried in oil.
For tomorrow I am currently soaking some Dahl (Yellow lentils) and plan to boil up a big batch of wild rice mixed with basamati and have it topped with the Dahl. Do have about half a salmon in the freezer. I plan to bake that with dill and butter.
i had a steak quesadilla, fruit salad (blueberries, apple, and grapes ), and then a cupcake...my mom made some mung beans as well (eww) and some kind of healthy gunk that looked mighty dangerous

Woodrow- WOW that sounds amazing, you must be a legit cook masha'allah!
I didn't have supper because I ate pizza for lunch and I dunno I guess after playing basketball I lost my appetite :/ But alhamdulilah just goes to show that Allah provides!
Call it dinner if you prefer. In my part of the midwest, corn country and soybean fields, your first meal is breakfast, the second is lunch, and the third is supper. Dinner would be the name for the big meal of the day whether at noon or evening.

Salaam,
I like Dahl but I can't have large amounts.

Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
