No snacks today either!

I probably didn't eat that many calories, but what I ate wasn't that great. Just coffee for breakfast, and then lunch at a new restaurant and I didn't like it. The BBQ chicken breast was sort of OK, but kind of dry, stringy, tough, and a little blah. It was so dry that I put extra BBQ sauce on it to moisten it, even though I don't like BBQ sauce.  The cole slaw tasted like library paste.  I couldn't eat it so I gave it to Frank. For dinner I had a Stouffers turkey and mashed potato dinner. No snacks.
Life is short; I can do better than this! Especially living in New Orleans, for heaven's sake. That reminds me. I need to mention to Frank that I don't like the food at that restaurant. We are trying different restaurants, just to get out of our "rut", but this one really bombed. It wasn't even that cheap.

Just pulled two baskets of vegetables (onion, green and yellow peppers, asparagus, broccoli, and cauliflower), off the grill. Seasoned with red pepper, basil, and oregano. Delicious!

Just finished assembling and eating my 11 (minus 2) pepper lasagna. (for the sake of the DW and friends, I eliminated the serrano and habanero peppers.) The chipotle, jalapeno, and pablanos still delivered a nice kick along with the bell (green, yellow, orange, and red), cubanelle, and banana peppers. 
And the best thing, we have left overs!!

This succulent baby is just about done... 
I was unable to remove the neck from the duck's interior when I put it in the oven partially frozen.
Have fun with the inevitable comments...

No Irish blood in my vein, but we are going to have corned beef, cabbage and potato on this St. Patrick day. Bought those at "Fresh and Easy" market earlier today.
Wife is putting potatoes in the corned beef broth as I write this. Got some Irish beers to wash it down too.

Had this cauli-mash with the reheated leg of lamb last night. Delicious. I doubled the cream cheese and garlic (roasted it) and substituted Swiss cheese for the parmesan. I added lots of drippings from the lamb roast from yesterday.
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/8 teaspoon straight chicken base or bullion (may substitute 1/2 teaspoon salt)
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh or dry chives, for garnish
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
Set a stockpot of water to boil over high heat.
Clean and cut cauliflower into small pieces. Cook in boiling water for about 6 minutes, or until well done. Drain well; do not let cool and pat cooked cauliflower very dry between several layers of paper towels.
In a bowl with an immersion blender, or in a food processor, puree the hot cauliflower with the cream cheese, Parmesan, garlic, chicken base, and pepper until almost smooth.

This is one of my favorite ways to do cauliflower! My recipe is slightly different amounts, but the same concept. So yummy!
