Crunchy fish fillets and broccoli. $2 for one meal's worth of fillets from Aldi's and made from whole fillets, too.

Pan seared salmon, asparagus and roasted sweet potato with butter, salt and pepper.

*Chef's kiss*

Chicken fajitas. The seasoning packet I used wasn't great, but I still wolfed them down like there was no tomorrow.

Sweet Martha's double peanut butter chocolate chunk cookie dough bites. I realized after the fact that you're supposed to make cookies out of these.

Noodle kugel, one of those things that’s even better the second day.

Softshell tacos with all the fixings.

I went all out today. The only real skimping was using jalapenos from a jar, even though I had fresh jalapenos on hand. I guess I got impatient. And I also didn't make any refried beans or Spanish rice, though I do like double-decker tacos. Though now that I have leftover fixings, maybe I can do that tomorrow or Saturday. I kept the leftover onions and tomato slices even though I usually throw those as they don't tend to stay fresh very long. We'll see if they're still fresh when I eat the leftovers. I might end up making a last minute dash to the store.

And yesterday I finally set up a grinder with the white peppercorns I ordered from Sri Lanka two years ago. After all that time, you know I had to use white pepper in the very next dish that I cooked. I doubt it made any noticeable difference. The smell was nice. More like freshly ground black pepper than I expected.

I’ve never been able to detect a flavour difference between black, white and green pepper. I assume that’s on me, as people I trust tell me there is a subtle difference.

As far as I've always been told, white peppercorns are used for aesthetic reasons (color) where you don't necessarily want visible black pepper flakes, like in sauces and soups. It doesn't taste appreciably different, though I'm not sure about red and orange peppercorns.

I could Google the calories, but, I'm afraid to, and, I might become depressed.
