[NJCher]

Tossed green salad. Salmon, which I'm going to glaze with balsamic.

Dessert is chocolate chip yogurt over a sliced banana and topped with toasted almonds.

A glass or two of red.

8. I saw the biggest sprouts I have ever seen today

while at the market.

I kid you not - they were the size of tennis balls! HUGE!!

(I wonder if they are less sweet in taste, though...)

4. Fried chicken

non-Yankee-fied. (i.e. flour and buttermilk - none of those abominations with cornflakes), salad with homemade Greek dressing and broccoli.

12. One of my personal favorites. Grecian chicken

(boneless chicken breast marinated with oregano, the juice of one lemon, garlic, and olive oil), stir fried veggies (red pepper, onion, carrot, zucchini, and snow peas), and Rice a Roni rice pilaf.

Grilled the chicken on my counter-top electric grill. I cut up all the veggies and only fried up one serving. Lots of leftovers. Tomorrow I'll do teriyaki pork chop -- oops, I'd better start marinating those -- also on the countertop grill, more veggies, heat up some of the Rice a Roni. At the grocery store this morning I spent under $20 for the veggies, a bottle of teriyaki marinade, the chicken and the pork chops. They'll be my meals through Thursday, and I'll be freezing some of the meat for future meals. I already had the Rice a Roni.

Sometimes it is remarkably inexpensive to cook good meals.
