Two Dinners

A + 2B or, in tastier terms, one meat and two veg is a standard dinner time meal construct that arose in the early twentieth century in Northern Europe and AMERICA! One meat item, a vegetable, and another, usually starchy (potato-esque) vegetable is the basic American and English supper. Here are two last week examples.

Kale, cranberry, and pecan stuffed chicken breast with braised fennel and roasted potatoes.


Sirloin steak with green onion mashed potatoes and sauteed garlicky kale. I'm really gettin' into dark leafy greens this month. They make you feel so healthy even if bacon and butter are included...


After dinner, I like to put stickers all over the cat. She's pretty amused.

Side note: I got a new brand of Friskies "Indoor Delights" for Captain Sensible with 'Chicken, Beef, Turkey, & Cheese Flavors With a Touch of Garden Greens'. The box is covered in bright green swirls, leaves, and animals. I think it is hilarious how the 'green' factor can now be marketed to cats.
