What's for dinner

ariel: I'm making hominy-potato chowdah with BACON
ariel: as part of Use What's In The Cupboard Week
dave: f yeah!
dave: i've been wondering all afternoon what you will make for dinner

That last part is music to my ears. I have not yet gotten tired of making dinner every night, and Dave has not yet tired of my cooking, so I guess we're still in the honeymoon phase of Ariel Cooks Dinner Every Single Night. I've gotta say that I enjoy cooking dinner much more than I enjoyed whatever it was I used to do at work after 5pm. It was always urgent, and usually something that I was doing on behalf of colleagues two time zones ahead who had already gone home. I don't miss it.

I've had this can of hominy in the cupboard for ages. It looks like it's about 50 years old, but I'd put its age at 5 to 7 years. I dug it out of the very back of the cupboard and decided to make my mom's hominy-corn chowder. But! The recipe is still lost along with everything else on my hard drive. Luckily there was a similar chowder recipe on the can.

Also in the spirit of Use What's In The Cupboard/In The Fridge/Already Open Week, as I made the soup I drank the rest of the bottle of wine I opened the night before. Cheers to being thrifty!
