Sunday (His): Return of Cajun Pasta

Did I have this on Sunday? I believe I did. Well, I made it sometime this weekend. Since I forgot to get the good Cajun seasoning, I tried to compensate with more basil and expensive tomatoes.The result: good enough! And always good for leftovers. Yes, it was Sunday because on Saturday I made fried rice again out of the left over rice from Friday's steak night.

Friday (his): celebratory steak dinner

Had steak with rice and mushroom again. But this time I had cause for minor celebration because I just received word Friday evening that I made it to the interview round for this literary internship. The steak tasted even better the second time!

Thursday (his): Fried rice with chinese sausage

This tasted pretty good, if you ask me. You can't really see it, but I threw in a bunch of basil, cilantro, and bean sprouts. While dousing it with fish sauce, I saw that my supply was running low. Uh oh.

Saturday (hers): I'm lovin' it


I emailed this camera phone photo of my dinner. My sister and I decided to go to McDonald's and partook in the 2 for 4.00 Big Mac special that runs EVERYDAY From 5-9pm. I also ordered a small fries, and for dessert we each ordered a vanilla cone. Not something to do every week, but once in awhile is quite fun and delicious.

Friday (hers): Chickpea salad


I made this simple chickpea salad from a recipe in the latest Bon Appetit. I usually can't make the BA recipes because they are too complicated and I can't afford all of the ingredients, but all this salad required was a can of Goya garbanzo beans, olive oil, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and basil. I will definitely make this again. It's a satisfying light meal or snack.

Thursday (hers): BBQ pork again


Leftovers! Pretty tasty again. I ate this while watching SVU.

Wednesday (hers): Chinatown Pork


I stopped in Chinatown on the way home from work to buy some fruit and chinese broccoli. Fruit was a mega bust (it's cheaper in my neighborhood..how can it be?) but I got the chinese broccoli and 1/2lb of barbecued pork. Pretty tasty! I'd do it again.
