More meals of Maverick's

Well Goose is one step ahead of me because I have only photographed my food for two days and I am done already.  I may do a little photographing today but I make no promises for a detailed account of my friday food.

Today however I present to you my Thursday in food pictures...

I was in a rush to get to spin class after my blog post yesterday and so I made toast with butter and honey, grabbed a bottle of water and headed out the door.

When I got home from my hour long base ride in zone 2 I was very sweaty and hungry.  Decided the hunger out weighed my stench and made myself a salad.

Isabelle ate an entire package of mac and cheese.  I think it was because she doesn't like it when I save half and reheat it the next day so she was trying to eat it all in an effort to have a fresh bowl today.  It did work but I already threw half of todays box in the fridge before she could take it.

I also did kept my promise and filled my pitcher with water which I drank all of before dinner.

It was freshly filled here and looks a little cloudy.  I think we need to change our filters...

Then as I was busy working on a photo project for our basement Jake arrives home with 5 friends.  Very exciting as I often tell him to bring his friends over but unfortunately I was feeling like our cupboards were bare.  I told him to make popcorn and had a little myself.

Then Goose, upon reading of my predicament sent me an email telling me I should stock up on pizza rolls.  Suddenly I remember that I had done just that and had a huge bag of pizza rolls in a drawer in the freezer.  I asked them if they were still hungry enough for pizza rolls and one of his friends said, "we're teenagers.  we're always hungry."  So I made a bowl of pizza rolls for the as well.

I ate those two that fell out of the bowl.  And I always like a cup or so of tea in the afternoon.

herbal black cherry. 

It was tasty, I just wish I had been able to sit down and enjoy it but I ended up running one of his friends back to the school right after I made this pot. (I had said I would when they arrived, she could only stay a short amount of time.  I am nice like that.)

While I was vacuuming upstairs somehow they got ahold of my camera and I found several pictures like this:

Theater kids...

So then Thursday is date night and I had signed John and I up for a camera class that I thought started at 6pm.  I started dinner a little after 5.  Chicken which I had planned to serve with a little sauce and green beans.

(note it is not swimming in oil that is the water it let out because they were frozen when I put them in the pan.)

However I suddenly realized it was 5:45 and I did not have time to finish this meal.  John was still not home from a fire call he had gone to around 2pm (the guy stuck in the grain silo in Farmington.) and so I made this for my dinner:

And rushed off to the class in the snowy weather.  I sat alone in the classroom chatting with the teacher for quite a while wondering if anyone else would show up before I he made some comment that led me to realize the class actually started at 6:30.  Oh well, it happens.

After the class I went home to pick up my hubby for the rest of date night.  We headed over to our favorite hang out, Perkins, and had our usual:  Coffee for him, decalf tea for me and we split a double order of fries.  (Sometimes we split something with ice cream but fries have been our go to lately.)

I tried out some tricks for better lighting on my poor hubby.  Here is the auto setting. Ok but a little orange.

And with the adjusted white balance.  (I knew you wanted to see what I learned.)

But really you are reading to see this.  Our tea and coffee and waters.

And this, the empty plates of extra crispy fries.  Yum.

That was Maverick's Menu for Thursday.
