For dinner tonight I made Crepes. These were filled with Black Forest ham and Trader Joe's Gruyere and White Cheddar cheese and topped with a Dijon, Parmesan, and fresh thyme sauce. A simple tossed salad with a red wine vinegarette on the side. Delicious.

Mac followed his dad out to our side yard this morning unbeknownst to him. This is him coming to our front door as seen on our Ring camera. By the time I got the notification Mac had taken himself on a neighborhood walk. Fortunately he was found within 1/2 hr. Scary😰

Mom made Island style pancakes topped with banana slices, chopped honey roasted macadamia nuts, and maple syrup this morning. Bacon on the side. She had dad give us each a plain pancake and no bacon. How rude.

Brined pork chops, dressing made on the stovetop (not the brand) with pears, celery, onion and typical seasonings, gravy, buttered green beans, and applesauce. Perfect choice for a rainy night in the PNW.

Once again Emma and Mac made it abundantly clear that using cherry bombs to celebrate is terrifying for 4 legged family & we weren't happy either. They didn't stop from 9:30 to 1:30 AM. Emma was finally calmed by dog music & me staying close, Mac finally calmed down sleeping in bed with his dad. 😡😥

Dinner. Air fried barbecued pork loin, green and yellow beans with carrots, a broiled tomato and a leftover twice baked potato. Banana cream pie for dessert later tonight.

If you have access to Dufour's gluten free puff pastry pick up a couple of boxes. I made spinach and cheese pinwheels yesterday that were delicious. Definitely the best available in markets.
