Hi Dave,


 RH> Some things aren't worth the fuss for me to do at home.

 DD> As I get older I get more laid back/lazy. And I get inventive since
 DD> I'm cooking basically for one.

I understand that. Tonight's supper is grilled chicken, cold potato
salad (left over from the other day) and somethine else TBD. Steve is
grilling the chicken so I've very little to do.


 DD> Here's a quickie burrito supper I got from my New York Times recipe
 DD> feed.

 DD>       Title: Easy Burritos
 DD>  Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Chilies, Citrus, Cheese
 DD>       Yield: 6 servings

 RH> That is easier. When our girls were home, I used to makequick burritos
 RH> by heating tortillas and canned refried beans. While they were heating,
 RH> I'd chop tomatoes and lettuce, grate cheese. All hot & chopped, supper
 RH> was ready in about 15 minutes.

 DD> Never been a fan of bean burritos. In my world they require some
 DD> meat, be it pork, beef, goat or whatever.

 RH> Couldn't always afford it on one income. Besides, the beans, cheese
 RH> and whole wheat tortilla made a complete protein.

 DD> I was at GFS picking up soup bases and a 3# package of bacon when I
 DD> noticed that they had a special offer on Dos Rios Taco Meat. U$1.79
 DD> for a 1 pound chub. Three of those went home and into the freezer.

Sounds like a good deal to me. Taco meat can be used for much more than
tacos.

 DD> Not my favourite taco filling - but one of the chubs and a 31 oz can
 DD> of Old El Paso Refried Beans w/green chilies in the baby crockpot with
 DD> a bag of Doritos and some shredded cheese made a decent supper for
 DD> both me and Dennis. Leftovers cleaned up and pre-wash done by Jasper,
 DD> Eva,
 DD> and Izzy (Dennis' grand-dogs).

I'd have possibly made a taco salad. Went to Wegman's the other day and
they were out of the black bean tortilla chips we usually buy for Steve.
Hopefully they will be restocked later this week; we're not out yet but
running quite low.
