Dinner tonight - or last night.

I was actually there.
One of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen!

It's just down the road from me. I have to drive through Salisbury to see my dad who lives in Somerset. Winchester Cathedral is even closer, but I think Wells is a lot prettier.

I think I've visited Salisbury and Stonehenge when I visited England the last time, but my memory is beginning to fail me.
Do they have a copy of the Magna Carta there?

I don't know, I've not actually been inside.

Tonight is my turn to cook. Found some nice salmon and fresh asparagus at the market today, having it with wild rice.

Mmmm, good.

I've got red potatoes in the oven, some already sauteed chicken thighs, and salad makings in the wings; presently sipping a Fetzger Cabernet Sauvignon. I don't remember that Fetzger was at the tippy top of California wines, but I became fond of the winery and restaurant/gift shop as a place where people from the north coast, like Eureka and Arcata, could meet up with people in the Bay area, sort of a 1/2 way point, and comfortable.

Had chicken at Pollo Loco for lunch. Not sure what we will have for dinner.

I had made the spicy eggplant way too spicy, back when I had made it and froze it, so now I'm adding jarred sweet red peppers and a small can of corn and a bunch of caramelized spanish onions (always on hand, I make big batches when I do), to temper it... less of the eggplant, more of the other stuff. Sort of a can goods salad, not my usual way, but it'll do. Meantime, I'm getting hungry.

We were planning on going out to dinner tonight but its been a busy week and I'm tired so the Puerto Rican is going to make his delicious home made taco's.

Well March madness is in full swing and mr.glitterbags Tarheels are playing so, something simple: Grilled Cheese sandwiches and a creamy tomato bisque soup.

Man I like, please talk about his tacos.

my own garam Masalla cajun shrimp , very spicy but goood.

Food from Karala as the recipe passed through Lafayette La.

I enjoy simple meals quite often.

Trader Joe's spinach tortellini and three cheese pasta sauce.

What's that sound? Oh, my stomach grumbling in envy.

His tacos are the best. He seasons the ground beef with:

1 tbsp. Salt
1 1/2 teas. Pepper
1 teas. garlic powder
2 teas. chili powder
1/4 teas. Cumin

Top them with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado and homemade salsa.

Tonight Alicia wants me to try this recipe.

Chicken Broccoli Casserole

Took a look at the recipe - looks like Mac n Cheese with chicken and veggies. Could be tasty - definitely will be rich

So do I, in the summer we practically live on fresh corn and local tomatoes. I love a simple pot roast with carrots, potatoes and onions. You can toss a browned roast into a pressure cooker with the veggies and have comfort food in less than 40 minutes (maybe less, I didn't check the chart).

On another note, recently Nando Peri Peri opened another restaurant in Annapolis. I'm not a big fan of fast food, but this chain serves Chicken the Portuguese-African style. It's delicious, moist, full of flavor and you can pick the level of 'hot' you like. The sides are generous and I think very flavorful.

The restaurant has been here about 2 years now and the quality hasn't suffered. I hope all the stores are up to snuff, but if one is near you, give it a try. Oh, and if 'hot' is not your thing, they offer the chicken in Mango-lime or
Edmonton-herb. I actually haven't tried those two so I can't vouch how much heat they pack. They also offer a wonderful carrot cake.
