What's everybody having tonight?

No cooking here as my neighbor and I are heading out to "Texas
Roadhouse" restaurant.

My first time there and I've peeked at their menu online and of
course everything looks great. I'll give a report either tonight
or Wednesday.

We are having grilled lamb chops, steamed asparagus, salad with blue
cheese dressing and some sort of potato side.

We're having leftover beef stew and store-bought garlic bread. I didn't
think we had a Texas Roadhouse in my area, but we do.
My wife has eaten there a couple of times. I have to keep a better eye
on her. ;)

Indeed. She could turn communist and you wouldn't even notice.

We shared a blooming onion except they call it cactus bites or
something like that. Very, very good thankfully not that greasy.

I opted for seasoned rice, meh, it could have been a lot better.
Green beans were good but a tad too greasy and too much liquid
in the bowl.

Rolls were ok, but my main gripe with the bread is I don't like
the tops buttered. That just means greasy fingers. The cinnamon
butter served with it was quite good.

But the New York sirloin was superb!! Perfectly cooked to medium
rare, very tender, and very flavorful. It was topped with sauteed
onions and mushrooms. Mmmmmmmmm

My neighbor got a huge thick cheeseburger with all the trimmings.
She opted for seasoned steak fries, and she said they drool worthy.
It also came with a very large quarter sliced dill pickle.

Salad with chunks of Muenster cheese and an apple-cider vinegar
dressing.

Earlier, I posted a description of the curry I made for lunch,
but I haven't seen it show up.

I would be in approximately the same place I am now. I very, very
rarely eat at chain restaurants.

I spent the afternoon making marmalade so it'll be lentil soup from the
freezer.

To that 2 dried sausages I found in the refrigerator.

You must be a carb fearer. But ghost pepper chili sauce? Store bought?
I mean, ghost pepper is HOT.

I try as much as I can to avoid vegetables, so when my wife is not
controlling me, it's mostly meat. ;)

Well, kind of... it's a specialty store that focuses only on chili sauce,
so it's as close to "home made" as it gets without actually being home
made.

And yes... it's super hot... but soooo good, but hot. I pay the price the
next day on the toilet. ;)

My wife has done most of the shopping here and, having difficulty with
citrus, I don't spend much time looking at oranges or other citrus
fruits. As a result, I completely missed the Seville orange if or when
they hit to local stores. Despite my citrus issues, I had been
considering making a batch of marmalade. I would have got a million
brownie points from my wife. She likes it as much as I do.

Later today I intend buying a large bag of lemons at Superstore
(Loblaws) to make lemon and lavender marmalade - a personal
favourite.

That sounds interesting. It's funny how polarizing marmalade can be. It
is sort of like lamb where people love it or hate it.

I was given some interesting jams for Christmas this year. One was an
old favourite, Crabapple Jelly. It was a major disappointment. It was
bland and had not really set up properly. One was a beer jam. I have no
tried that yet. The other was Rhubarb Ginger. I had my doubts about that
one but it turned out to be spectacular.
