Good old PB& J !
« on: August 17, 2020, 06:33:56 AM »
Yesterday I came home from church and considered lunch.  I wasn't terribly hungry, so I decided I may try something I have not eaten in years.
    I had just Saturday, picked up some incredibly soft Pepper Ridge Farm rolls..so I got out the peanut butter, and checked the fridge for some jelly.  Aha!  Some good looking strawberry jam, right there beckoning me.

 So it was still PB&J , even though the J stood for jam.

  I had forgotten that PB&J tasted so good !

We must be kindred spirits or just bored out of our mine from being alone. I too have got back to eating some things that I have not eaten in years. PB and Jam come to mind as one, Sun tea which I had not made in years is another, made a quart the other day. I have a super nice all stainless gas grill which I had not used in about 8 years, got out the oven cleaner and my high pressure washer and gave it a good cleaning, hooked up a new full bottle of LP gas and lit it off still worked great so for my evening meal I grilled me a nice big burger patty and fixed me a very good hamburger was great. Did that several times. I have never in my life been a big steak eater, had not had one in over 10 years so what the heck buy one and grill it. I picked up a couple of real lean New York strips got me a few baking potatoes put one in the oven to bake, Fixed me a nice tossed green salad with home made thousand island dressing. put the steak on the grill for a few minutes on each side and  dinner was served, was really good. Even picked me up a pack of Ball Park all beef Hot dogs and grilled me a couple for lunch couple days ago. Now I am going to see if I can find me some nice Halibut stakes and grill them up had not had any in about  10 years fresh sea food is hard to get in Oklahoma, maybe I need to find a member in Alaska and do some bartering

I have found that now being alone, cooking/eating is quite difficult. Any can of vegetables, beans, cranberries etc..is just about double what I can use for one meal. 
 
  Salad fixings are hard to keep without spoiling before I could use them up.

 Unless I refrigerate a loaf of bread, it will spoil before it is finished and so forth, so I had to make adjustments.

 Instead of salad, I often use frozen veggies.. 1/2 a small bag at a time.

I was never a big meat eater anyway..and whether strip steak, sirloin steak or tube stake, makes little or no difference to me, so what little meat I eat is usually some kind of tube steak.
  Cooking/eating solo is not easy.  Come to think of it, many things done as a couple are somewhat more complicated now.

Periodically, the church elders and wives, have dinner at a local restaurant. After my wife
 passed, I felt like odd-man-out, so for a partner, I took my grand daughter with me.

  That didn't answer it though, because we  would be discussing church business, which a teenager would not feel comfortable with..

  Putting it mildly, being a widower changes things.
