My delicious plan for chili and cornbread has been realized, and I have enough cornbread to enjoy for a while 😆.

Willow’s response was not as intense as when they got their own meat and gravy based treats, but she still wanted my plate.

Actually, it’s kind of sad that the camera missed the tongue licking the edge of the plate, lol.

Somehow I find it just a bit sad there’s no dab of ricotta in the center of this, lol

I usually aim to put the meatballs to one side, and after placing the garlic bread, I kind of went “Hmm”, and then went to go eat, lol.

While my reason for going shopping tonight was driven by needing denture tickets, I think buying some lettuce, priced to move mushrooms, and dinner onions, was a good plan.

Leftover pintos, and croutons that have been in need of a salad, also round the salad. I’ve also been slobbered by two of three dogs, after giving them their snacks for the night.

Things I find oddly amusing

Things I find oddly amusing: thought I’d give defrosting the fish in the bag a go, ‘cuz why not?

Shortly after turning on the water works, the bag made like Yosemite Sam after a shootout.

Since my mother learned the recipe in high school, my family has enjoyed the potato chip based tuna casserole. Left to my own devices, I sill make it pretty often.

Coincidentally, Willow really likes fish. Not so much that humans get dibs on the people food.

Thoughts over cornbread prep

by

Psuedo-Random passing thoughts from mixing cornbread batter:

When you’ve got the cornmeal, flour, eggs, etc right there; or as close as a supermarket, making cornbread is really low effort. Like really, the biggest effort is to get the stuff out and ready before you start mixing. It also helps if you remember to start preheating the oven and the skillet before getting all the stuff ready.

Now if you had to grind your own corn, churn your own butter, or deal with your own chickens, and so on: maybe not so much.

The closest most people in the first world will likely ever experience to that is playing games like Minecraft.

Hmm, I wonder what our ancestors who lived off farms and mills, would think of Minecraft. Would they think it absurd given how much of that hunter-gathering-building their society was, or be equally addicted as us squishy happy go lucky descendants from the age of the supermarket be?

Yeah, I’m not inventing a time machine to find out.

For the human: rice, curry sauce, onions, peppers, beans, and mushrooms. Plus a little chicken.

Plus plenty of leftovers ftw!

And for the hungry minions: a beef and chicken patte topper added to their food.

Forgot a all about the ground beef I had planned to make with the sauce, but still had a delicious meal, and probably ate about three people‘a worth going by the brick sitting in my gut.

Willow and company were very interested in this cheesy, ravioli fueled goodness.

Hungry minions also got another round of their Christmas presents, this time the chicken and turkey with gravy packet.

by
On the human side: slab of baked tuna, rice, beans, veggies, and much yummy.
Meanwhile the doggos get another round of their food topped with chunky meat and gravy, that Willow was upset about having to wait for, lol.
by
Not exactly elegant but effective. Bowl of rice with green onions, black beans, mushrooms, and tuna; plus a thing of frozen dumplings for a side.

Willow’s deepest woe is that I come first in the pecking order. That is to say, she despises having to wait her turn.

This year’s Christmas presents are meet and gravy “Toppers”, because they love that and Wellness CORE mini meals were something like buy 6 get 2 free when I bo7htheir last bag of food.

Needless to say: they enjoyed the head start on yumnums.
