We had kalbi marinated flank steak last night, which was delicious. So tonight I'll make tacos with the leftover beef.

When you separate out the "eating beans", why do you name them that? Do you also have a container of "don't eat beans"? What do you do with those? I'm just curious. Why not just call them beans?🤔

We love tilapia, but I wouldn't wait for it to be on special. It might be price reduced because of age. Best to eat it fresh. A great mild fish that lends itself to a panko breading and frying, or baked in a nice lemon sauce.

Baked tilapia in a lemon garlic butter sauce, with roasted herbed baby potatoes and corn for tonight's dinner.

I agree they are to pricey, and I'm not even fond of them. I make Osso Bucco but with beef shanks instead. Tonight I'll use the leftover chicken to make some Pad Thai.
