Cup Noodles.

Perfection cannot be improved.

Eggs marinara.

YUM. Fried egg, seasoned with salt and pepper, on top of a bed of baby lettuce mix, covered in Italian-style tomato sauce (including basil, oregano, garlic salt, freshly cracked black pepper). Crunchy bread provides a perfectly contrasting texture.

I was sad when my plate was empty...

Breaded chicken and rigatoni.

This was a wonderful dinner provided by Mrs Newsom, Alysia and Jessica. Jess made a creamy sauce for the pasta, and threw in sundried tomatoes, roasted bell peppers and capers. Top it all off with some Frank's Red Hot and you're good to go.

Twelve

Coffee granita with whipped cream.

This is a great dessert to follow a hearty meal, it's very light and refreshing with a strong coffee flavor. The granita mixture includes lemon zest (orange is also delicious) and Kahlua. The whipping cream is lightly sweetened and honored with a splash of Mrs Abler's wonderful homemade Limoncello.

Hot dog.

Went to the Gillesses' (house, Jessica) for a barbecued feast before going bowling. Mr Gilless knows his way around a grill (and how to use one, too)...so thanks for this! And happy birthday!

Also, my first honorable mention: Jessica Abler, for this accidental some-type-of-Greek masterpiece. Abler states, "I was just squirting ketchup on my hamburger and this happened!" I like to think that's also how actual Greek was invented.

Ten

Tropical smoothie.

Pineapple, mango, banana, yogurt and orange juice. Thick and fruity, much like Nathan Lane.

Beef enchilada casserole with guacamole.

Ground beef, crushed tortilla chips, enchilada sauce, plenty of cheddar cheese; topped with tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, sour cream, and accompanied by some homemade guacamole. One of my favorite dishes; usually we use chicken, but this was really good, too.
