Grilled Talapia with Mustard & Parmesan

4 oz. Simply Seafood talapia fillet (from Aldi's)
Dash of ground mustard
Dash of black pepper
1 oz fresh shredded parmesan cheese.


Place on hot grill and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes per side over a medium high heat.
Turn once during grilling.
When talapia is done, it should flake easily with a fort. It should be opaque and moist.
Top with a sprinkle of ground mustard, a dash of black pepper and garnish with fresh shredded parseman cheese.
I like to microwave for 30 seconds to melt the cheese.

Pad Thai for Lunch!

Sunday night while Don was visiting with his "guy" friends, I made pad thai for supper. And, because I always cook for at least two, I had leftover noodles.
Pad Thai for lunch on Monday!

2 oz dry Habubaku noodles (World Market) that have been boiled and drained (like pasta)
2 tbsp Thai Kitchen Pad Thai Sauce
1 tbsp peanut butter (I prefer almond butter)
Dash of onion powder
1 scrambed egg
1 tbsp chopped cilantro

I tossed the noodles with cilantro and refrigerated overnight.

For lunch the morning:
I put the noodles in a tupperware bowl.
I topped it with the Thai sauce
threw the dollop on peanut butter on top
sprinkled with onion powder
I scambled an egg and three on the top.

At lunchtime, I heated in the microwave, and tossed it all together.

Chili outside, the warm Fall inside

Had dinner with Jim and Kathy Sunday night. Kathy made the MOST delicious chili.

Served true Wisconsin style over elbow macaroni!

Inviting home, good chili, good friends, recipe for a good evening.

Before dinner we had driven the country roads to visit a few produce stands and see the Fall colors.

We found the leaf colors had already peaked and were becoming dull and blowing away. It happens all too fast.

Wisconsin Gardener had an episode discussing the preservation of the leaves and branches in liquid floor wax.

It dries fast and the leaves keep a nice sheen.

 So here we are, enjoying our Fall just a little longer!!!
