Earlier today: Spaghetti with tuna fish - one of the dishes that I make the most often. Spicing it up with black pepper, olive oil and cream (not entirely sure about the English translations). That's it.
We had seabass tonight, with spinach and diced herbed potatoes.
I'm not a big fish fan, but I like white fish and salmon steaks. Mrs TG could eat any kind of fish, every day. All that brainfood, makes me wonder why she married me.
At the moment, I'm having about a pound of steamed okra(LUV that slimey okra!), some steamed broccoli, and some steamed yellow squash... or "squarsh" here in the south!

Sounds great. From one below the Mason-Dixon line Texan, okra is the bomb. Prefer it fried though! I'm real happy that you got rid of your neighbor problem. I'd even enjoy hearing a corny joke!
YOU'D like to hear a "corny" joke? Frankly... I'm aMAIZED! But I'm guessing there isn't a KERNEL of truth in what you say! Personally, I think yer YELLA! Awww SHUCKS! Oh well... I guess I'll go hop on my HUSKvarna lawn tractor and mow the yard!

THAT'S MY BOY!
God love ya, Jim. I hope you have a better situation REAL soon. I felt bad when you thought I was mad at you. Crack the jokes- I'll just shut up if I have to!
Tonight for dinner we're having stuffed shells with meatballs and fresh garlic rolls, all homemade. Can't wait! Good food is positively life affirming!
I just had a chili cheese dog for lunch, and tonight we're taking mom-in-law out to a mexican food restaurant for her birthday, where I'll probably order a carne asada plate. Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
In our family, it's tradition to eat rice porridge on Little Christmas Eve (with cinnemon, sugar and butter). There's an added bonus, though. My mom puts a "mandel" (a nut of some kind....I don't know the English word for it) into the pot, and whoever gets it, wins a prize - usually a marzipan pig. So that's what we'll be having in a few hours.
God, it's difficult to speak of our Norwegian traditions and foods without knowing the English counterparts for it. Rice porridge? Little Christmas Eve? Mandel? Marzipan? I hope some of that made sense to you.
