For "breakfast" I heated up a couple of frozen Tennessee Pride brand
sausage biscuits. Joan is likely the only person here who might be
familiar with the brand; those little biscuits are tiny! I had a glass
of milk to go with them.

I made a pot of quick cooking garlic & olive oil couscous and had a bowl
of it for lunch.

Later on I'll be cooking the unnamed dish which consists of browning a
pound of ground lamb (seasoned with S&P) along with minced garlic.
Drain the fat, stir in about 8 oz. of frozen baby leaf spinach (not the
chopped mostly stems frozen block of spinach that has to be thawed and
copiously drained), 6 oz. of crumbled feta and grated lemon zest.
Leftovers for lunch next week. :)

We will be having leftover KFC with a leftover tomato-cream soup that I
made to throw shrimp into and call a bisque. Without the shrimp...I did
that a couple of days ago. :)
I'm taping the Oscar pregame show on E!, because my wife likes to look
at the outfits. I'll pass on the politicized show, itself.

Breakfast was oatmeal. Second breakfast was a couple slices of
bacon.

Lunch was a faux cheese steak. Cooked onions, deli roast beef,
a couple of slices of provolone, some hot cherry-pepper relish,
salt and copious pepper, served on reasonably fresh white bread.
A big fermented dill pickle on the side.

Dinner will be a salad. It might have meat on it; it might not.

I just wait until the next day and all or most all of the outfits are
posted online. They can be, shall we say, rather interesting and that's
all I'm going to say.

Yes, they are quite small, and my experience is they're rather dry, too.

I just finished my coconut cake and waiting for it to cool so it can be
frosted. I've never had one, but the process reminded me of one of those
tres leches cakes. The cake gave the appearance of floating out of the
pan. Not a clue what supper will be.

KFC, For All Your Tortured Factory Chickens!

They're all communists anyway, Leo. That good ol' 60s Republican vibe
is long gone.

The Oscars may be a bit classier, but at earlier events this year it
seemed to be a contest between women to see who'd show up the most
naked.

Oh, that's right. Tonight is The Oscars. I've been watching TCM movies
leading up to it. I like looking at the gowns but doubtful I'll watch
any of it. I have no idea what films or what actors, directors, etc.
have been nominated. I'll find something else to watch or read a book. :)

I think we have a chicken to roast. I might need to remind the chef du
jour that it is getting close to the time she should be thinking about
putting it into the oven. Maybe she is just waiting for her Annapolis
Pudding (apple cake) to come out.

I will pass on the Oscars. I have little interest in the Hollywood self
promotion that is more of a popularity contest than a legitimate rating
system where people don't even have to watch the movies they are voting
for.

It was a silly impulse purchase.

I've never had a tres leches cake. Truly, the only coconut cake I ever
had was store-bought and the icing was was more like stiff fondant with
some sweetened flaked coconut. Frosting should be much softer. I hope
yours turns out well!

I watched Oppenheimer and it was an ordeal. Emily Blunt deserves her
Oscar nomination. I also watched Maestro and Carey Mulligan was also
absolutely superb. Of course they won't win anything - not that it
bothers me in the slightest.

They are also overpriced. If you microwave them instead of oven, it might
make them less dry. I haven't tried any in years, so they may be different now.

It's been so long since I've eaten them I honestly don't remember if they
got the microwave or oven treatment.

Pork loin roast, baked potato, fried apples.

The apples are simple fried in butter with a touch of brown sugar and
cinnamon. Did them a bit different and poured in a glug of Amaretto.
Yeah, I'll do that again.

I watched more than I care to admit. I sounded like an owl.
Who? Who? Who? Who?
I did like the Larry Bird, Allstate commercial with my pal Mayhem.
