As much as we strive for cooking fresh and from scratch, it's definitely not always that way. In January when it's 30 degrees and it gets dark at 5:15 what else are you gonna do but cook in the evening? Nowadays though we're out and about more often in the evenings and sometimes dinner is just whatever leftovers or frozen stuff we can come up with. Tonight I came home from work, hung out for a bit then headed out again for a short ride while Darlene went to meet some friends at the running track. When I first got home I just had a piece of toast with peanut butter, then as soon as I got back from riding I had a Clif Builders bar. (If you're into energy bars and haven't tried Clif you should check them out - they're a good company and their stuff doesn't taste half bad either.) A bit later I threw together a quick salad and had more toast, this time topped with frozen veggie sausages that I nuked in the microwave and leftover chickpea gravy. (Darlene had already nabbed the leftover mashed potatoes, but there was still gravy left.)
Which brings me to this note: We're trying to post as often as possible, but some nights are just not as interesting as others. So if you don't see a post on a particular night you can safely assume that we're just cleaning some leftovers out of the fridge and/or pulling something out of the freezer.

Hi again Chris and Darlene, I think leftovers can be very yummy...a little of this, a bit of that, lots of variety and quick to get to the plate.
I posted a vegan version of some bread-machine buns on my blog, you might want to give these a try. Hope you will stop by soon. Continue to really enjoy your blog and posts. Cheers and BFN :)
thanks geraldine. the buns look great! unfortunately our bread machine is broken, but I'm sure we could make them without it.
Hi Chris, There must be a bread machine shut down happening, had other comments like yours re: the machine being broken!! I think they are a great investment though, I had to learn to love mine, still like making scratch bread but the machine makes it so quick and easy and kneads so perfectly too!!!
I seem to remember reading a post here that you are into running and biking, correct?? If you are, you might want to check out a new post I have about Slow Burn, was fortunate to have Stu Mittleman, the endurance runner and author, comment on the post too! Quite a thrill. I digress....hope all is well, Happy Cooking and BFN :)
Sounds like an interesting book Geraldine. I'm racing my bike a good bit these days so I'm often riding fast, but it's important to have some easier/slower days too.
Hey Chris & Darlene,
Indeed, not every day is a gourmet endeavor. Here in Northern California, the sun has finally come out this week after about 7 straight weeks of rain. Crazy! I'm a yoga teacher, and in my last 4 evening classes, I have had a TOTAL of 9 people!!! Ha ha! Everyone is out enjoying the sun and the light... I'm sure that they are all eating leftovers too. :)
ps. i LOVE those Clif Builders bars. We are going to Bosnia/Serbia/Croatia for 4 weeks in the fall, and I plan on taking along a selection of those bars (and some others for variety).
Your friend,
Amey
Hi Amey,
Glad you're finally getting some better weather there! Here's it's been mostly warm and dry. We haven't traveled much internationally, but I would think Clif bars and the like would be a must any place where you're not sure about the food options.
