Noticed Wolfette made sure there was no left over bacon......

Pasketti

For a non eye-tal-yun, Susan makes a great effing spaghetti sauce

Apricot chicken (which was surprisingly GED-easy to make!), green beans, and potato wedges (okay, I bought those)

The apricot chicken is some apricot preserves, a splash or two of soy sauce (I also snuck in a small splash of the peach balsamic vinegar, but we won't tell the husband that, will we?), and just poured it over the salted and seasoned chicken breasts about halfway through cooking in an oiled pan.

A couscous pasta blend thing from TJ's, some palak paneer from a heat and serve pack, and maumene ryalle. The last two did not go together as well as hoped, but were nonetheless delicious.

OMG, Best. Review. Ever.

So I was looking up info on Hometown Buffet, and I came across this 1-star review:

Quote:

"You are horrible. I love you. My dark, sweet treat. Your food has no flavor, save the hint of salt that you deign to give me, only now and again. Peering at your mounds of macaroni and puddles of gravy, through scratched sneezeguard, all things seem possible. Yet nothing materializes. You make me long for the day when I foresake everything and drown myself in your meaningless calories. Ballooning to enormous size, conforming to the shape of your booths, softly serving soft serve spoonfuls to my sorrowful esophagus. Take me away, Hometown Buffet...."

The fact that you were looking up info on Hometown Buffet scares me.

Though I haven't been in years HomeTown Buffet (in its Old Country Buffet guise) is a guilty occasional craving. Growing up, that was the treat eating out meal every couple of months. Then in high school, when we'd do big group ditchings of school that's where we'd generally end up since we could just hang out and so long as we weren't actually eating a lot management didn't care since they were dead for weekday lunches anyway.

Ended up at one last time I visited my brother and it wasn't too bad. It's no Napa Rose, to be sure, but acceptable as a cheap meal when we're sick of all our usual haunts. So we were considering it. Didn't happen though. We ended up at Woody's Diner, which replaced our old Islands. It was pretty good too, and also cheap.

Also remember who I'm married to. The "boring" offerings at a Hometown Buffet just happen to be all his favorite food groups (the Macaroni group, the pizza group, the fried chicken group, and the soft serve group). Yet amazingly, he was less interested in the place than I was. So in the absence of the coupon which I'd handed to him and he'd tried to hand me but failed, we didn't go.

I went to a dreadful party this evening, but they did have one hell of a BBQ Sauce. For BBQ sauce it's even fairly healthy.
