Click Michelle's Food

Mr Click’s birthday is today.

Bean and I made him blueberry muffins to go with his coffee this morning. I made him a delicious Bloody Mary for late morning. (No Tabasco please, only horseradish.) Bean wanted to make a Pesto Dip for afternoon snack, but he had a Cub Scout meeting and didn’t get to it. I was making chow chow and wasn’t really in the mood to fool with pesto.

I made chicken-fried steak for dinner, even though Mr Click makes it better than I do these days. (The chow chow with the meat and the cowpeas was incredible.) I also made the now-standard (in our family) Devil’s Food White-Out cake. It’s crazy that a cake that easy turns out such amazing results.

Mr Click and I were talking last night about both of us needing to lose more than a few pounds. We will start with a concerted effort tomorrow. His focus will be portion control, mine will be trying to eliminate nibbling while cooking, and reducing sugar and fat intake. If I can keep leaving work at a reasonable hour, perhaps we can walk in the evenings.

But tonight Mr Click is out having a cigar and reading a book. The kitchen is semi-clean. I think I shall collapse.

Well, after a glass of Orvieto.
