Well, wr, that was swift. If you get this stickied up we can start the monthly threads.

We're starting hurricane preps now. There is lots of information in the Survival and Emergency Preparedness forum on HT. One thing I stressed to my families when I was working as a hospice nurse was to plan to avoid leftovers since power would be down for extended periods and they would lack the ability to refrigerate leftovers and that would draw varmints and ppests. Which leads me to (thinking about avoiding leftovers) cooking for 1 or 2.
Like many, I cooked for 4+ buddies, andd I had a real hard time learning to cook for 1 when Gfb and I were working in different places. I don't think most grocers are set up for singletons or couples, or if they are, they are set up for the "SUPERSIZE" crowd. It was a wonderful day when I first discovered shopping at Dollar Tree. They sell a 4.5 ounce clams can, a slightly larger oyster can, a a "seafood cocktail" 4.5 oz can containing mussels, scallops, and clams. Also plain chicken, chicken with chipotle and roast beef in small cans (5-6 oz) I did NOT pick upthe 5 oz can of chicken bologna but GFB said he would have tried it.

I'm making Mississippi chicken in the crock pot. It's a recipe I saw on Facebook book, but the last one (Salisbury steak) was delicious.

Thursday night we went to the Bullpen to celebrate a friends Birthday. We split and order of chicken wings and onions rings. Friday night was leftovers from Wed. Tonight we are having friends over. One is vegan so we are coming up with a meal to eat tonight. Of course after we go shopping he tells us he goes off his vegan routine once a week well tonight you are getting a vegan meal

The temps are going to be cool today so I'm going to make bacon wrapped pork with savoy cabbage and dried cranberries. I love this stuff.

I'm making a garlicky shrimp and spinach dish. It's one pan, very easy, and delicious. Plus I have spinach I need to use up.

no corn tonight as I ended up doing overtime today. I had a handful of cherry tomatos from my balcony garden, along with a piece of toast and a piece of extra old Gouda cheese. I made a peach crumble on the weekend and brought the leftovers in to work today to share. So, dessert tonight was chocolate chip ice cream instead of fruit.
