I made aglio e olio for lunch. Like me, it's cheap, simple, and kinda stinky.

A neighbor had some canned peaches and didn't know what to do with them, so I said bring them my way.
I'm sure this is an insult to my southern brothers and sisters who truey enjoy their cuisine, but this is a "peach cobbler" but it's not. It has four ingredients. Two cans peaches in light syrup, yellow cake mix, melted butter, and cinimon, all put in a dish in that order. So it's a dump cake.
It was great and it took very little effort. It's going into my rotation till I run out of canned peaches...which should be a while.

There is nothing like fresh southern peaches.
Dump cake, traditions notwithstanding, is delicious stuff. Is true peach cobbler with fresh Georgia peaches infinitely better? Who's to say - one man's trash is another man's treasure after all! 
No pic, but I 'invented' a simple dish about 20 years ago that I made again last night.
Bring about 2 quarts of water to a boil (I've never really measured but I think that pot holds a gallon).
Add in the seasoning packets from 3 ramen (or sub equivalent amount of Old Bay seasoning)
Add 3 sliced yellow squash and bring back to a boil
Add 1lb of raw shrimp and 3 ramen (break blocks in half so you aren't slurping a mile of ramen)
Play whack-a-mole with the back of a spoon, trying to keep everything under water.
Test a noodle at 3 minutes, then count to 60 in your head because it always takes 4 minutes.
Serve in bowls.

Catch ready to become filets and the bait.
I thought we might want more than the one fluke would provide so I picked up fresh PEI mussels and some shrimp.
Pan fried freshly caught fluke with shrimp stuffing and fresh broccoli. Roll me outa here.
Love me some brisket...
As a born and raised Southerner I'll say a cobbler with canned peaches (especially home canned like when I was a kid) is way better than no cobbler! Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you've got it made!
So was your cobbler one or two crusts?? DH remembers his grandmother making cobbler with crust in the middle AND on top. I've never seen it made that way - he says it was a Southern thing....
Definitely a Southern thing, not really a "crust". Cobblers we had used a relatively thin sweet batter that was poured into the baking dish. Sliced peaches were dumped on top of the batter and so you got a mix of sweet doughy texture and peaches in the middle and some crunchy crust on top. Delicious! This is pretty close.

I'm stopping by your house for dessert.
Come on over! Peach season is starting in AL!
Old Bay braised turkey necks and cabbage. Was gonna use potatoes but didn't have any so went with the cabbage even though I'd never done it before. Probably the tastiest cabbage I've ever made. Necks were tender and delicious.
Can't go wring with cabbage!
I made a fridge clear out version of Beef Chow Fun for lunch today. It was looking rather nice, so I ran off to grab the phone for a picture and allowed my cornstarch slurry to over-set and it clumped a bit. As the old Benedictine monk that tried, in vain, to teach me Koranic Arabic was fond of saying, "Pride goeth before the fall..."
Ultimately, it was better on the tongue than the eye.

Looks darn tasty to me!
That's a full lunch, very impressive! When do you crack open the beer?
Whilst I’m making it then wine with the meal.
Interesting.
I don't have wine or beer while making or eating a meal. I used to while making a meal but for some unknown reason not anymore.
Ribs ready to go in the smoker. Forgot to take the After pics! One rack has minced garden rosemary on it. These are regular spareribs cut down to St. Louis style with the rib tips in the smaller pan. They all turned out great. Smoked over oakwood.

I had company this weekend and an undying desire to not go grocery shopping, but I had to.
Shrimp Alfredo Tortallini with a side of french bread pizza. The pizza was the best part. I used the remains of the Alfredo sauce, prosciutto (the greatest pork product EVER) and topped it with some mozz and peppers and onions.
It fed everyone and then some.
MMMMM! Our favorite pizza is two of the biggest slices from the very middle of a loaf of true sourdough bread, lightly toasted, then topped with whatever you love best on pizza. For us that's pepperoni, prosciutto, cooked spicy pork sausage, several cheeses, chopped onion, and sliced black olives. Throw in air fryer for a few minutes til everything is starting to bubble. Beats everything else we've ever tried! One slice each is PLENTY.
That sounds soooo good!

Dang. I have to try that.
I was thinking, why not cut the loaf lengthwise instead? Might not fit in the air fryer though.
Split pea with ham and half chicken salad sandwich good for chilly temps. Baking a a sandwich loaf tomorrow.

You could certainly do that if you are dealing with a long loaf or baguette of sourdough. We buy the presliced round loaves from Smart & Final - it's authentic sourdough, no yeast, no bleached/enriched flour, etc. This way there is some portion control which for us is a GOOD thing, LOL! I LOVE sourdough, theirs is really good, and it calls to me even if I freeze the rest of it so we don't do this often and it's just the easiest way for us to get a pizza fix without a lot of trouble doing it. Also with the baking part, it makes the bread crispy on the bottom which we love.
I forgot to say, we also spoon a little pizza sauce on the bread after lightly toasting it, then the goodies.
You convinced me, I'm really hungry now! I will try some sourdough pizza next time round. I normally just make a standard crust but saving some time or better yet having pizza sooner is very appealing. I love pizza!
