1. Just finished beef with vegetables and fried rice from local Chinese place. Very disappointing.

No flavor and not 1 pea pod (my favs!) in the entire entree.

Every time I order from that place, the price goes up and portion size decreases. Now no pea pods.

2. SAD!

No decent Chinese place nearby here.

[SheltieLover]

3. Used to be decent food -- not GREAT as I used to enjoy in the Chicago burbs regularly.

Now, barely edible...

It's been quite a while since I've ordered from them and doubt I ever will again.

And VERY VERY rude people working there.

4. AWFUL that rude people there.

[SheltieLover]

6. Extremely rude & abrupt, even when they aren't busy.

The only other place with edible food is a steakhouse, which we enjoy occasionally, but pricey. $40 for 2 burgers & fries.

Only other choices besides mcd's (gross), wendy's where everything is drowning in mayo, which I expressly request t be omitted, or captain d's, where they serve globs of thick breading & call it "fish."

Pathetic.

7. How awful

I can only recommend either a real commute to a worthwhile set of restaurants (with overnight stay)...

or

That you fix a four-star meal for the two of you...Find a good local butcher
and pay for the good stuff...filet mignons or ???? your choice. Celebrate being
able to do this for yourselves!

[SheltieLover]

8. Oh I do cook really healthy, tasty meals

Just sometimes I like a break.

Not likely in the land of deep fried everything.

5. Shrimp

Grilled shrimp kabobs served on cheesy rice risotto. Salad from the Landlady’s garden. Cold Yuenglings.

10. Pulled pork BBQ sandwich on hoagie bun with

potato chips.

Cantaloupe and blueberries before bedtime.

Good Evening

11. Salmon grain bowls

This morning I cooked pearl barley and also green beans. This evening I worked late, but my son made the bowls with salmon, avocado, green beans, a couple of my backyard tomatoes, cucumbers and radishes. He made a dressing with mayonnaise, sour cream, sriracha and lime juice. Good way to use up a bit of this and that.

12. Cheesesteak sandwiches

Had some leftover steak, and I don't like to waste meat animals died for. Found some elderly peppers (bell, Anahiem, poblano) and I always have onions and cheese on hand, so pepper steak sandwiches for dinner.

13. david letterman's mom's hambergers, no bun + steamed sugar-snap peas.

[La Coliniere]

14. Tofu Asparagus Scramble

Steam-fried in evoo and veggie broth: chopped onion, yellow bell pepper, sliced carrots, cut asparagus, sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. When done I mixed in 3/4 of a block of mashed firm tofu and Jax Tofu Scramble seasoning, fresh chopped parsley and Penzy’s Sunny Paris herbs. Cheers! 🥂
