What's for Dinner, Mon., July 13, 2026

Steak and Gorgonzola Salad with Caramelized Onions. Also has sliced Persian cucumbers, red tip lettuce, and baby arugula. I used petite sirloin; very tender.

In the summer, my salad appetite grows to the point where I have to use a large glass pie plate for my salads!

Dessert is wafer rolls, filled with lemon-flavored cream. Iced decaf coffee with half 'n half.

I have the Corelle dishes that are basically the same as a pie plate. We refer to them as feeding troughs—and yes, they’re perfect for salads!

... to freeze, so I'm not sure what I'll do for dinner yet. Honestly, I've been so busy since Ms K broke her hip that I'm not really looking forward to cooking tonight. Time to take a good look around the refrigerator and freezers, lol. What's the point of saving extra meals, otherwise?

If I do cook tonight, maybe breakfast for dinner, corned-beef hash and eggs, with fried potatoes, and toast.

I finished the orzo skillet I made yesterday.

I bought fresh fruit a couple days ago, and made a fruit salad, flavored with homemade vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, a smidge of sugar and some topping.

Enjoy the evening!
