The meeting went well with our international customers. Although Jan was allowed to take pics. in the shop, I didn’t think it proper etiquette to ask for a pic. for my blog so simply imagine 3 different men in suits.
I was STARVING around 11AM because we didn’t take a break. At about 12:15pm we managed to break for lunch and went to a local place, “The Knight Spot”. It wasn’t bad for a little diner type place. I had a tossed salad with oil & vinegar (basically iceburg lettuce, 2 slices of cucumber, and 1/2 tomato) and broiled haddock on a hamburger bun – plain. I only ate the top of the bun-typically I don’t like white bread and won’t eat bread during the week, but I was REALLY hungry. After the gents left, I picked on 1/2 South Beach High Protein P-nut bar and about a 1/4 of a GoLean Chewy Cookies-n-Cream.
- Tonight… I just can’t WAIT to eat! But Ted is cooking a chicken roaster so I have to wait a bit. For me, I concocted the following: “Quorn Chicken Bean Saute”
Set stove top pan on burner, med – high heat w/ 1 TBS olive oil. Add… - 1 spring onion, chopped
- 1 pkg. Quorn Chick-n-Tenders
- 1/3 cup Utica Greens (this is sauteed escarole with hot cherry peppers, parm. cheese, bread crumbs…in broth – I KNOW they use chicken but I use vegetable broth!)
- Handful of baby bella ‘shrooms.
- Let the above cook for about 7 min. stir around now and then so it doesn’t stick.
- Add 2 ladles of Bean Squash Soup: I made this Sat. and the entire bean soup recipe consists of… 2 can kidney beans(1 dark, 1 light) + 1/2 cup chopped green pepper + 1/4 cup chopped onion + 2 celery stalks, chopped +2 tsp cumin + 1 tsp tumeric + 1 tsp curry powder + 1/2 tsp chile powder + 2 cups cubed butternut squash + 2 cups veggie broth + 1 tsp cilantro.
Now simply let all that simmer until your meat-eating husband’s dinner is ready! Serve green beans on the side.
Mmm … your chicken bean saute sounds wonderful!
Glad your meeting went well!!
Actually it turned out pretty good. Spicy – due to the cherry peppers but I like spicy. Actually your chicken and black bean pizza put me in the mood for my “pseudo” chicken.
Happy to read that the meeting went well!!
Enjoy your evening!!
In re- to the meeting, we all have work to do but the challenges are what make it exciting! Thanks for your thoughts.
