88 degrees in the house so not cooking much. Thankfully my body is adjusting
nicely to the heat so I don't feel like I'm dying.

I loosely followed this recipe:

https://iowagirleats.com/2016/04/27/...zucchini-rice/

I am making it now. Smells wonderful. Used brown rice instead of white and
larger proportions because it appears that my gardener didn't eat much yet
today. Not from my house anyway, and he was beavering away in the backyard
until after noon so I know he will be ravenous.

I used brown rice instead of white. Added half a bag of shredded carrots
leftover from something else, 3 ribs of chopped celery, a green bell pepper
that somehow got pierced by something so needed to be used up, some parsley,
and at the end will add grated yellow squash in addition to the zucchini.

My Dr. (shut your pie hole Steve) wants me to try avoiding dairy again so I
will take a portion out for myself before I add the butter and Parm. I do
have margarine and various vegan cheeses so I may add a bit of that to my
portion. I find that less is better with the vegan cheeses so if I decide to
do that it will be a very tiny amount.

Will also serve small red beans and TJ's chicken patties. I may not have the
chicken myself. Not much into chicken.

Will see how much rice I get for the end dish. May add green salad if it
looks like not enough.

Also have a case of peaches from TJs.

For lunch I had a taco from Taco Bell. My daughter had a kalua pig plate - it was quite good.

For dinner we had a mix of Hawaiian, Japanese, and American, food. I would have had some poi but it was gone by the time I found out about it.

The worst of three worlds.

I'm fixing to make dinner now. A Spanish rice type thing with ground beef,
veggies and beans. Have a couple of small tamales to serve to the gardener.
They're oddly sweet. More to his liking than mine. He loved the Spam fried
rice the way you told me of. The sweet kind,

I like Mexicans - we don't have nearly enough of them around here. Spanish rice and tamales would suit me just fine. It's not easy to find tamales on this rock. We got more pasteles than tamales here.

Very nice medley of food on those plates, imo.

Tonight I made a garlic eggplant dish and some lemongrass chicken. You really have to beat the shit out of that chicken breast to coax some excitement out of it.
