On Tuesday night, we put some chicken breasts in a foil packet with white pepper, garlic, and a blend called "Bangkok Blend" from Penzey's spices. Along with those, we put in some leftover rice from an amazing meal Christopher made last week. (It was steaks and rice using a bunch of spices and cream and... ohmigod... it was amazing.) The rice had some of the same spices as were on the chicken, so once the chicken was cooked and the rice was rehydrated, we had a rather nice meal in front of the TV.
Wednesday, since neither of us really felt like cooking, we did a frozen pepperoni pizza. I know it's silly, but it's something we both really enjoy. And it also brings back good memories of growing up and having those "splurge" nights when Mom would buy us something as full of empty calories as pizza. Not nearly as good as homemade pizza. Not nearly as bad for us as ordered-in pizza. Not nearly as creative as Joe's pizzas over on Culinary in the Desert (check him out in the left-hand column). But yummy just the same (especially when eaten together).
Last night, after running a bunch of dog-friendly errands (three different stores where she got to go in shopping with us), we did drive-thru and picked up dinner at McDonald's. Okay, so we went there because I was craving it. Christopher isn't exactly a McDonald's fan. So I had a Big Mac value meal, and Christopher had fries, and we watched some TV and just spent the rest of the evening together.
Tonight, well, dinner wasn't exactly of a very nutritious nature. It was chips and salsa. But it was chips and salsa together. The fourth night of dinner together for the week.
Okay, so it hasn't been the most exciting of weeks' worth of meals. And certainly not the most gastronomically exotic. But it has been a great week of dinners.
