Last night: A quick wok creation. Chicken slices with red capsicum, mushrooms & bok choy (with garlic, some chili & oyster sauce) on steamed basmati rice. Not bad.
Salad nicoise with freshly cut tarragon and lemon vinegarette.
Roast beef sandwich with swiss cheese, a little salt and pepper, some mustard, and a nice pile of cheezums.
Is that supper, gus? My Iowan in-laws have midday dinner as their main meal of the day and then a sandwich or such for supper.
I don't know what you call it. I eat whenever I have the chance. Sometimes I might have scrambled eggs and toast at five in the evening and the next morning I will have a hamburger at the crack of dawn.
I guess I call it "time to eat".
I'm like that, too, Gus. I had cereal for lunch, toast and tomatoes for breakfast. I also usually eat my eggs in the evening instead of the morning.
Fresh atlantic salmon filet with olive oil, garlic, mustard, lemon, smidge of chile flakes, salt and pepper.. baked with some grape tomatoes and celery stalks. That was dinner. For breakfast, I am having cooked cooled atlantic salmon filet with olive oil, garlic, mustard, lemon...
oh, and coffee.
Trying to remember, did I have fish dreams? I have this theory, see, that whenever I have such an amount of protein for dinner I have more interesting, more memorable, dreams. I think I did, woke up thinking 'wow', but I forgot them already.
Half a smallish spinach pizza with extra spinach sauteed with olive oil, parsley and garlic on top.
a loaf of "oven bread" from a local pueblo, a cup of tea and a tomato from the garden.

That woman knows how to eat.
Just imagine what she might have cooked for you if you'd stopped by.
Sounds great, osso.
Leftovers from last night. The fresh green beans, waxed beans, and radishes are perfect with baby arugula and summer lettuce.
A mantra, Baby Arugula is Best - that's sure true, says an arugula grower.
Arugula, rocket, whatever is ok, I don't quite get it re the amount of it I saw on menus in Italy.
Me, I like sorrel, especially in a Jane Grigson sorrel soup, which is simple, a broth, like a chicken broth, potatoes, as in reds, and, at the end, some sorrel. Oh, yeah, and butter and salt, whatever. Totally scrumptious. I've had arugula many times, besides growing it myself. Give me young sorrel any day.
I got that from a Jane Grigson cookbook, named something like Vegetable Cookery. Mine is a rumpled paperback, opens at the sorrel potato soup page if you just put it down on the counter.
Yeh, Gus. Thing is. I understand. Still, c'mon back.
On the other hand, green beans could use some rocket-ting. I'll back off of my former statement, and JB did say young arugula.
I just had a hot dog for dessert. I couldn't help myself. Afterall, it is July.

Hot dogs in July, sounds like a song...
Chicken soup from the freezer doesn't sound remotely like a song! But that's what I just had for dinner. (Long, long Monday at work! No energy left for cooking.)
msolga,
long Mondays and wintertime -really not nice.
These are the times when I don't like cooking.
Now, in summer and being on jollydays (holidays), it is different.
Iced potato soup, grilled filet of pork, a casserole of French beans, chanterelles, tomatoes, some thyme, a jelly made of different kinds of berries- here called "Rote Grütze".
Had some of your ingresients, ul, yesterday as well: roast pork filet in thyme and mustard, fried thyme potatoes [bought too much thyme
], baked cauliflower (not as a gratin but like
à la Viennoise), vanilla icecream with that semi-fluid red berry thing
rote Grütze.
