Chocolate cherry dump cake and snickerdoodle ice cream. Cake is hot. Ice cream is cold.

And there are brownies

Tonight’s dinner: Italian herb and garlic turkey, rice and spinach. Note the allegedly naturally soft Irish butter.

The butter was mocking me.

The lime and italian seasoning chicken wings. stuffing on the side.

Just threw a bunch of chicken wings in the fridge to marinate for tonight’s dinner.

Lime juice, old bay, salt, pepper, garlic, chili oil and italian seasoning.

We’ll probably have pasta or potatoes. Debating making a macaroni salad but I don’t have eggs. Must have eggs.

Whatcha all having for dinner?

Tonight’s dinner: miso soup and somen. Rice and chicken.

Tonight’s dinner. Turkey and cheese sammich and a salad.

Rhys Ford’s Local-style Mac Salad

I don’t cook using measurements so you’re going to have to bear with me. Adjust to YOUR tastes. Some people like grated carrot in it and no peas. I’m not a huge fan but it’s really up to you.

• 16 oz cooked elbow macaroni, cooled (you can also add boiled potato or just use potato)
• 5-6 hard boiled eggs, minced fine or torn apart in the palm of your hand using a fork
• 1 medium sized cucumber, deseeded and minced, partially peeled (I make stripes on the skin)
• 1 small sweet onion, minced
• 2 cups of frozen peas or peas/carrots. Don’t cook them. Just run them under hot water and drain
• 2-3T salt, 1T pepper, 1T granulated garlic…this is to taste, a bit of old bay maybe 1T (optional)
• mayonnaise. Maybe 1 to 1.5 cups. This is purely by eye.

In a large mixing bowl, mix all of the ingredients together EXCEPT the mayo. Get in there. Mix it up. Taste it. Make sure there’s enough salt.

THEN add the mayo. Make it was wet as you like it. The macaroni will absorb a lot of it. Put it in the fridge to “marinate”. It’s best to let the flavours mingle.

Served best with loco moco or kalua pig and cabbage.

Loco Moco

• Fried egg
• Hamburger
• Rice
• Covered in brown gravy.
