Still trying to slow it down

Last week and the weekend flew by and now I'm back at Monday...lovely.  Tonight was the traditional New Orleans Monday dish of Red Beans and Rice.  Nothing special as it was Blue Runner again.  Tomorrow is meatless Tuesday - Carrot and Chickpea soup and a sandwich of roasted red pepper and eggplant with mozzarella on ciabatta.  I made the soup tonight - not bad...can't wait until tomorrow to see how it develops.  The sandwich will be an adventure. 

Monday night is work night

Dinner tonight was homemade tacos - ground turkey, wheat tortillas, and Nueva Cocina Taco Fresco seasoning mix.  I found this stuff by accident a year or so ago and I'll never buy Taco Bell or Old El Paso again.  It's got more flavor and less salt than either of the others.  While the meat was simmering I did the prep work for Artsoppa/Erbensuppe/Pea Soup - chopping onion, celery, and carrots, one ham hock, a bay leaf, OSEM Vegetable seasoning, and water...it's simmering away now - no more taco aroma the house now smells of simmering soup.  I'm going to pair it with Scotch Eggs on Thursday night.  More to follow later.
