Day 23 - Chicken and Mushrooms on Giant Croutons

How am I feeling?  Not sure how I am feeling today.  The sky is grey which never makes me happy.  I am on a virtual hold with VRBO trying to reclaim the cost of a cancelled trip to Montreal.  But it is my wedding anniversary today...28 years!
What am I watching?  Cuomo and Episode 5 of The Night Manager
What am I reading?  Really, I will read something other than the NY Times today.  Promise


Do you find that you have a very different eating pattern during this stay-at-home-cation?  I have never been a big breakfast person.  I will eat a sandwich or cold pizza before I crack open an egg.  My sister loves the traditional breakfast as does my husband.  When he wants to get up and go out to breakfast, I just see that as a total waste of money.  I have bacon, I can make a pretty decent scrambled egg and who can't make toast?  I know, it makes very little sense.

When I am actually working in my regular place of business, I either skip breakfast altogether (telling myself that I am intermittent fasting) or I make a tartine because it is French and sounds better than saying I made an open faced sandwich.  I hit an all-time high yesterday morning when I used leftovers to make a taco!  Yes, at 8am, I had a small flour tortilla piled high with seasoned ground beef, leftover salad mix with a taco seasoned dressing.  And let me tell you, it was delicious.  I just may do it again this morning as I have two tortillas remaining.

I just received an email from FEDEX that my package is arriving today.  Is it strange that I get excited over receiving packages now?  I have to really be careful not to binge shop, especially on those grey days that we have so many of in Western PA.  For some reason, if it is food related then I can rationalize the purchase.  This is food related, so YEAH!  Six chickens from D'Artagnan will be arriving shortly.  I already have plans for the first chicken.  I just hope they all fit in my freezer.

Speaking of chicken, I made this dish last night and it was outstanding.  True comfort food...
