Last night was a late night.  While we were at the Vets with our rescue Wishbone I asked my wife what was for dinner.  Big mistake.  Stephanie wanted fend/left overs, while I wanted something else.  The cucumbers we purchased from the Borman's from a week  before were getting over ripe (as the weather changes in Ohio, our outside refrigerators thermostat needs adjusted). After I had rinsed the cucumbers I left them in a bowl with some paper towels to dry.  As Stephanie started talking about fend for your self I pipped in with a promise of Meat Ball Marinara.  Luckily this Monday I made a big portion of Seitan to last at least the week, giving me more free time.  Stephanie was delighted to inform me that I would be making dinner that night.  I heated up some crushed tomatoes in a pan, added seasonings (fresh garlic, crushed red pepper, spaghetti seasoning from Sams, and a couple more), and after boiling for thirty minutes I moved if off the burner away from heat.  Then I added the chunks or lumps of seasoned Seitan to the sauce.  I let that sit for ten minutes while I prepped the Asian inspired cucumber salad and the bread.  It was the best I have had to date.

Thank you!
