Probably just peanut butter toast with a glass of milk for dinner.

and scalloped potatoes with cubed ham is on the menu within
the next 10 days or less.
I like these potato dishes that ham can be added to make
them a main dish instead of a side dish.

Even though I posted in the "Trader Joe's" thread
that I will be finishing off the Mandarin orange
and vegetable rice dish, I've made a generous
bowl of albacore tuna fish. It may or may not
end up being supper with the chicken and rice
dish to be finished off Tuesday. Either way,
the tuna will be shared with two neighbors for
either their supper or for their work lunches.
Too bad I'm too lazy to go to the store for a
bag of potato chips. Those would go quite well
with a tuna sandwich.

Most of those potato dishes have so much dairy in them, the
ham isn't necessary.
On those rare occasions when I make scalloped potatoes, I
serve them with broccoli for a complete meal.

I had some Neoguri noodles last night. These are thick Japanese udon
style noodles with a Korean soup base. I used half of the soup packet to
keep a rein on the spice level. This is advisable if you're not Korean.
1/3 packet might be a better choice if you've never had Korean noodles.
If you're not into spicy, you shouldn't be touching the stuff.

the prolonged cooking time for the potatoes to be tender
would turn the broccoli to mush. Broccoli on the side

I don't think casseroles are white trash; I just don't care for

Today's dinner: fattoush. (Again. I still have pita chips to use up.)

Scampi is the Italian word for shrimp (actually, a similar crustacean). "Shrimp Scampi" is "Shrimp Shrimp".

"Shrimp Scampi" is "Shrimp Shrimp".
Technically, it is not; because scampi is not the exact same crustacean.
Therefore, shrimp scampi is "Shrimp some undefined crustacean".
