Oatmeal with dried Currants. This fruit is one we don't have very often, so I would rate it a little higher. I give it a 4.5 out of 5.
Lunch
Spaghetti with a red sauce that Paul made. I didn't help him, and he didn't use a recipe, so I can't give it to you this time. Not a secret...just don't know.
I like it a lot, it is super-garlic-y. We also had it with garlic bread. I give it a 5 out of 5, yumm!
Dinner
Spiced Brown Rice Pilaf and salad
I can't figure out what it is about this pilaf that I don't like very much. I think it is the combination of cinnamon and rice. I am not interested in having it again. (sorry Paul!) I give it a 2 out of 5 for flavor. (It is palatable, just not enjoyable to me.)
Melt in a stockpot over medium heat: 3 Tbsp butter
Add and cook, stirring, until golden, about 8 minutes: 1 onion, chopped
Add and cook, stirring, for 1 minute: 1 bulb garlic, finely chopped
Add: 1 1/2 cups brown basmati rice, 3 Tbsp dried currants, 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Stir to combine. Add: 4 1/2 cups vegetable stock
Bring to a boil. Stir once, cover, and cook over medium-low heat until the stock is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 50 minutes.
