No five stars followed by "I can't wait to try/use it!". I read
three of those already today (one was based just on the smell).
 
And by "ribs", I assume you mean pork? Here in TX that's beef by
default. But sometimes you still have ask "back ribs or short
ribs".

Tonight was some leftover stir fry veggies with mushrooms and a cup of
the 'ragout' tomato curry soup. Small rice balls (1/8cup each) with
steamed then mashed butternut squash centers.

I have some left over refried beans from some soft tacos I made the
other day, so I am thinking maybe some cheesy bean quesadilla's. With
jack/colby/mozzarella

I'm doing the pot roast tonight. There were enough leftovers to where I
didn't need it last night. Potatoes, carrots and green beans, all roasted,
to go with.

Yep, pork ribs. These are baby back ribs. I've still never bought beef
short ribs. I saw some at Publix last week. I forget the price but it
seemed exhorbitant. There was nothing to them. Three beef short ribs,
mosty fat and bone from what I could see.
 
I do like beef ribs. Had them (dry rub) along with some pork ribs with
sauce at The Rendezvous in Memphis in the 1980's; it was a company paid
luncheon. I noticed on the menu they also served lamb ribs (dry rub)
that sounded interesting. I sure as heck wouldn't want to try lamb ribs
slathered in any kind of BBQ sauce.
 
Anyway, BBQ (the sauced ribs variety) really is a rare occurence for me.
I like it, just don't think about it very often. Odd for someone who
has lived in the South for quite a while. ;)

Scallops tonight. Dry pack, but previously frozen, wild caught from New
Jersey. 16 scallops (1 pound) was $24, but oh, so good.
 
There was a little bacon grease from breakfast and I left it. Added
butter, seared one side, added garlic, seared the other side. Put them
on a plate and poured in some white wine and fresh squeezed OJ, reduced.
 
Served with bruchetta, garden salad, Pinot Grigio. Delicious!
 
It was also a nice night to eat out on the lanai. Quiet and calm.
 
As for the ribs, I'm making a couple of racks Sunday.

Sounds very good. I won't even complain about the OJ.

Carrot sticks or a bag of those shaved "baby" carrots, maybe with some
celery sticks... I somehow can't imagine children really craving them
for their lunch. Then again, I've never had children. I do know how
I'd have reacted as a child if my mother had packed such things for my
lunch. Can you say "cringe"? :)
 
FWIW, my mother did tell me she'd never tasted yogurt and couldn't
imagine liking it so, 2019 Go-Gurt advertising aside, I was spared her
ever trying to make me take yogurt for lunch. ;)
 
I *do* sometimes use plain yogurt to cook with.

I have never seen it in a store here, but I do remember seeing it at
breakfast buffets at American motels.

LOL I've been in a few American Motels/Hotels (no comment from the
peanut gallery, please!) and I've never seen anything like that combo PB
and Grape Jelly jar at a breakfast buffet.
 
Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage in steam tables, yes. Replenished
frequently. Waffle batter in a pitcher and a waffle iron with
instructions on how to use it. Some places even have hash browns or
something like potatoes O'Brien on the steam table. There were always
different types of bread and a toaster, bagels and muffins. Sometimes
cold pastries. Little boxes of cold cereal. Dispensers for coffee,
milk, tea, juice, water, etc. I never once saw a jar of peanut butter,
much less peanut butter with grape jelly, at any one of them. There
were, of course, packets of butter and jelly for the bread and toast.
 
Come to think it it, there was no Nutella, either. ;)

Sorry, but I have to say that, mild or not, scallops or shrimp wrapped
in bacon, brushed with BBQ sauce and grilled are delicious.

Bacon would overpower the scallops to no end.

dSure they are, but it overwhelms the scallops. It woult taste about
the same with a cheap filler instead. Had scallops tonight, no bacon!

Why do you sometimes say you never drink alcohol and other times you
tell us about your cases of vodka? Just curious.

Yeah, they're good. I think I like all nuts. I'm making nut burgers
soon. That might sound like a vegetarian nightmare, but they can be
quite good.

I believe that pecans are one of the nuts that are lowest in calories.

That may be but they weren't there on Wed. and I'm not driving back just for
those!

What I meant was... You have to place a minimum order for free shipping. I
don't need anything else now so won't order. And... The price for those are
cheaper at other stores.

Both celery and green onions have gone way up in price. And sometimes I have
to buy far more green onions than I want. My recent problem with untrimmed
celery is that it's super skinny. I like to eat it stuffed and skinny
doesn't work so well there/

I love the leaves in soup but these days there aren't many leaves left on so
I keep dried leaves.

I can't remember the price at Walmart yesterday but high enough that I
wouldn't buy it.

Doesn't always work here. I have a big planter that I use for tomatoes and
onions. Our growing season is short so my tomatoes are from larger plants.
Onions are from sets. Some winters, the onions keep. Everything died off
this year. Waaay too cold.

I can't schlepp anymore either. I moved the bag of Costco potting
soil this morning. I kind of walked the bag instead of lifting it.
It's funny. My husband just this moment said the neighbors might
report us for the bright light. ;-)) I don't overwinter anything in
the house anymore. I am just too neglectful. I purchased a rosemary
plant last year that is supposed to survive our winter temperatures,
"Hill Hardy." We'll see.
I've got everything set up, it is the seed's responsibility to grow
now.

Fiskars makes good ones. I have one, but I usually remove fish skin at
home with a plain old Henckels boning knife. It's right there in the
block, and I don't to have to sort through my fishing gear for the
Fiskars. One wants a relatively flexible and thin blade. Yeah, and
sharp. You can pick up the knack after hacking a couple of fish up.
They're still edible, just ugly.
