I just cooked a family pack of petite sirloin steaks from Fred Meyer. I used
A1 seasoning. Also 4 small Yukon Gold potatoes. I needed them in a hurry so
they were done first in the microwave then put in a pan with a little
butter, salt, pepper and parsley. Husband had part of this for dinner along
with some canned green beans.

Angela and I will be having some sort of Mexican. I got some organic grass
fed beef on a Woo Hoo special. Needs to be cooked today but I was going to
make some anyway. I will also cook some Mexican rice. I had meant to do some
dried pinto beans last night but I forgot. So I bought a couple cans of the
Rosarita refried. Also bought some pico de gallo. I can make my own but the
tomatoes for the most part were not so good looking and expensive. I also
didn't want to buy cilantro. Mine went to seed and I just replanted. So in
the end it was cheaper to purchase the pico than to make it and have
leftover stuff that I may or may not use.

Not entirely sure what we'll eat. I have tostada shells, hard taco shells,
flour tortillas, chicken that is already cooked and seasoned, plus cheddar
and Mexican cheese, sour cream, guacamole and assorted sauces and salsas.
Angela prefers to make her own food most of the time these days so I'll let
her have what she wants. I am leaning towards a beef and bean tostada and a
bit of rice on the side.

I also bought some stuff for baked beans. Was hoping to find Walla Walla
Sweets but they had none so I just went with half sweet and half white. Last
year I did a mix of caramelized and raw onions and the end result was the
bomb! Of course the raw ones did cook down in the Crock-Pot but seemed to
add a depth of flavor. Those will be for me on the 4th. Husband may have
some but Angela prefers canned beans. I got a couple of kielbasas for them
since they couldn't decide what they wanted. Freddies had some little
shortbread tart shells on clearance so those will be made into some sort of
dessert. I will have to wait and see how big they are. I think maybe tiny.
The filling will depend on the size. Probably just some fruit but maybe a
dab of pudding in there too.

But now that I'm thinking about it, I believe I will put some pintos on to
cook. I need to use up what's in the cupboard.
