White Cheddar Cheese-Its.
Toasted pecans and a chunk of sharp cheddar.
A sandwich.
Obviously none of you are in the U.S. Today? What else is there to eat but turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy and cranberry sauce? Maybe some veg like green beans or brussel sprouts thrown in!!! I wait for this meal all year, and that's exactly what I last ate -- about three hours ago. Happy Thanksgiving
I had flaked rice, sugar, milk and a glass of Cranberry juice..
Collard greens and leftover dressing doused in giblet gravy.
Macaroni and cheese.
Doughnuts
That gave me a laugh :-) What the heck is mustard cheese?
That sounds good. Wish I had some right now. I have to ask, what's a pumpkin roll? I'm guessing bread made with pumpkin. Never heard of it.
Breakfast sandwich from a local convenience store. Washing it down with good strong coffee from the same place.

I make a nice basil pesto with pumpkin seeds. (They're called pepitas here.)
The last thing I ate is something I just put together. Sauteed shrimp sprinkled with garlic salt in some olive oil. When done, added a little butter and some half-and-half. Poured it over a baked potato.

Hopefully - neither interstellar nor planetary. They were just trying to prove they were incompatible with our culinary school -:)
Tonight, I made a meatball and butternut squash marinara sauce in my instant pot and ladled it over penne rigate.
The instant pot is so convenient. You can saute in it, steam, pressure cook, make yogurt (I haven't tried it yet, but I got the packet), and much, much more--all in one pot, which means easy cleanup. I got one for my mom too and she really loved the pot roast she made in it.
Never heard of an instant pot but it sounds intriguing. What is it?

Wonder when we'll have World Pneumatic Web connecting houses, so we can exchange these culinary achievements

Just curious, Alex - generally when I hear marinara, it means seafood based pasta sauce here. Does yours have a seafood base?
Chicken pan fried in port and cream, with mashed potatoes and coleslaw. And I wonder why my waistline is expanding?

It's just a Trader Joe's veg spaghetti sauce and then I added white wine, salt and pepper. (Sometimes I make the sauce starting from plain tomato sauce, but I didn't have any in the cupboard.)
What do you call a veg spaghetti sauce?
Here's the instant pot.

That photo of your Instant Pot meal makes me hungry, Alex.Last thing I ate: a shrimp egg roll.
A Mystery Taco.Gotta live on the edge on a Friday night...
What do you call a veg spaghetti sauce?It's generally a neopolitana sauce, or simply 'pasta sauce.' That's in contrast to marinara, or bolognaise sauce.
I went to a local Chinese buffet restaurant and stuffed myself with half of the recipes on the menu!
Dieting? I am a partisan of 'seefood': I see food, I eat it!
You might conclude I am dieting because I have not posted any food consumed for some time 😀
After the excesses of our recent holiday, we're back on the 'eating well' bandwagon tomorrow. Not dieting as such, but cutting out the lollies and ice creams, basically.

Last thing I ate: breakfast sausages, eggs over easy, and cheese grits. If you've never had grits cooked the right way, you're missing something good :-)
Coarsely ground corn. One scoop of grits per six scoops of water. Add salt and butter, cook for 20 minutes. Add cheese if you like. Otherwise, pour into dish, add more butter and salt to taste. Easier and just as tasty as polenta, just not as fancy.
Last thing I ate: spaghetti with doctored up sauce from a jar. Just OK, but easy.
