With Bilby away my eating is different.

Last night was a pan fried bass fillet with some canned potatoes sautéed in another pan with onion flakes, herbs and chicken salt. Not a bad quick meal.

Today, as I am helping ma and Pa (aka The Kettles) pack before moving, I’ll probably pick up Maccas or just do bacon and egg.

My sister and BIL do "breakfast for dinner" once a week.
Pancakes or waffles or omelets.

Tomato leek quiche tonight, made by hubby. Leeks from farmer’s market, tomatoes from my garden. Co corn on the cob on the side and probably a salad as well.

Mr. Sohy used to make some delicious quiche, but he hasn't made any in years. Maybe I'll ask him if he would make some again. He's been the cook for over ten years, although he does use some of my recipes. His primary talent is doing stir fry dishes, which he's been doing for well over 50 years. We haven't even had any Lebanese food in years, although I think I made some pretty good Lebanese food as well, in the past.

Hubby didn't cook at all when we met. I was no great shakes but I assumed that if I needed food, I'd cook it. And I determined that if he was going to eat food as an adult, he needed to learn to cook as well. Over the years, he has become quite good. When I was working out of town while hubby could walk to work, he took over most of the cooking responsibilities and makes most of our dinners. I do almost all of the baking, not that there is much with all the kids grown up. Even though we are both retired, he still does the bulk of the cooking.

In some ways, we have similar stories. I was still working part time when Mr. Sohy's company closed down and he couldn't find another job as engineer at age 63, so he felt guilty and started to get into cooking. He not only did it to help out. He began to make it sort of a hobby, although he doesn't try new things as often as he once did. His stir fry dishes are still the best and that's what we almost always have when we invite friends over for dinner.

Apparently, your husband didn't get the message back in the day:

Real Men Don't Eat Quiche

Apparently real men don't just eat quiche, they make quiche.

Back in the day when I was in the outdoor industry, a friend/associate started a very successful backpacking food company.
One of his signature products was (and remains afaik) quiche. But his pronunciation was “ka-WEE-chay” and he told people it was an ancient Native American dish.
 
Today is what I refer as pig out day, as on most Thursdays we go to a fantastic buffet known as Fried tomatoes. It's only 13 bucks for people 62 or older. I ate a piece of barbecued chicken, collard greens, steamed broccoli, steamed cauliflower, two slices of fried tomato, a serving of yummy kale salad, about a tablespoon of crab salad and then my weakness, a couple of pieces of buttermilk coconut pie. I think I've mentioned this place before. Luckily I'm thin and eating like that once a week doesn't impact me as long as I keep doing aerobics. Plus, other than the pie, I only have one plate of food and it's pretty healthy stuff. I'm weird for someone living in the South because I hate sweet tea and only drink unsweetened tea.

So, why am I hungry 4 hours later? I guess it will be Amy's frozen entrees tonight to make up for the pig out lunch.

IIRC, Shepherds pie was made from the leftovers from Sunday night’s roast - usually lamb. This was chopped up with the left over veg and gravy, and extra potatoes, or pastry was put on the top.

I could be wrong but that’s how this Lancashire Lass remembers it.

Pretty much, although we never did pastry on top. The mashed potatoes go on top, and get nicely browned.
 
My mum used to make cottage pie from leftover corned beef, mixed with tomato sauce and onions and topped with the extra potato from the previous meal. It is so far off-recipe that it's not funny, but it was delicious, and I will defend her until my dying day.

That all sounds yummy. Mixing leftovers is the best.
 
With my wife helping our daughter and 2 granddaughters living at my parents old house and me and my sons living at our house, 37 minutes away, we've gotten into the routine that we have a cookout over there saturday. Usually it's hamburgers.

Tomorrow it's hamburgers.

We've done country style ribs and steak tips but eveyone seems to like hamburgers the best.

Burger, red onions, tomato, pickel on a roll with corn on the cob. Ketchup, mustard, mayo to taste.
 
We had baked salmon again last night topped with my favorite sauce with a side of fresh vegetables and what I refer to as lazy rice. Lazy rice is a Birdseye mix of chicken flavored rice with vegetables. I refer to it as lazy rice because you just toss the bag into the microwave and cook it for about 4 minutes. It's very tasty and if you're too lazy to prepare rice the old fashioned way, make some delicious lazy rice. I buy it primarily when it's on sale so there are always a few bags in the freezer. I guess we aren't the only lazy rice eaters because sometimes it's impossible to find lazy rice I the grocery store.

For the most part, I like simple foods, never casseroles, stews etc. Stir fries are the exception. I could happily eat baked salmon at least 3 times a week.

Please leave off the mayo on my burger because despite being white, I despise mayo. You might need to watch the silly movie, "The History of White People" to fully understand that, but I really do hate mayo. :D
 
I have a low tolerance for mayo with only a couple of exceptions, one being homemade aioli which is maybe once or twice a year.

I prefer mustard if I use any condiment but on my burgers it’s onion, preferably red, tomato and leaf lettuce. Ketchup is rotten tomatoes, imo,

Reminds me: my tomatoes are late this year and am eagerly awaiting caprese salad.
 
I am having lamb shanks.

Growing up, the butcher used to chuck them into an order ‘for the dog’ and mum used to hang on to them and cook them up when she had 5. Then chefs discovered them and they skyrocketed in price!

I got these pre marinated ones for $14 for 4 of them. I’m slow cooking them in Cassie on a bed of tinned crushed tomatoes, some potatoes, onions and carrots. They aren’t too big so should cook nicely in around 3 hours on 170C in the oven.
 
We had our yumburgers! Don't walk, run! Yumburgers!

That's a family Deep Space Nine joke. Quarks bar. Don't walk, run!

My 2 year old grand daughter ate her burger from the top down. When she finished the top bun she was full.

My 9 month old grand daughter missed her mouth mostly. Then she somehow extricated herself from the harness of her high chair and got into the dining room table and watched the rest of us eat as a moving and vocal centerpiece.
