Dinner tonight - or last night.

That neighbor's feast sounds wonderful, Set.

No, I couldn't either, osso. I could go mad in there!
You've found the place!
Never mind it being far away. You go with a BIG list, anticipating all your next month's cooking plans. Enjoy!

No dinner tonight cos I'm still too stuffed from the pub lunch I had which consisted of a burger with chilli and sour cream, chips, onion rings and salad. Feels a bit sick now actually, might have a lie down.

Simmering pasta sauce (ground beef, lots of veggies, mushrooms) probably with penne. Nobody home till really late so keeping it simple.

Mmmm Mmm good y o.. We're having grilled pork tenderloin, veg & frie rice.

One grilled honey-garlic sausage.

One apple.

Followed by a Merci chocolate stick.

Lemonade.

Soup -
onions and banana pepper sauteed in olive oil,
sweet red pepper baked with olive oil drizzle,
sliced yellow squash,
left over tomatoes and black beans from the other day,
veggie broth
small hunk of cabbage, sliced,
herbs,
simmered with some blobs of hot italian sausage.


Good, that worked, think it was the sweet red peppers that made it taste so good.

Osso, you remind me that I have some soup in the freezer. I think I'll thaw it out for supper tonight. It's a roasted veggie soup with plenty o'garlic. Nummy num num. Better stop and pick up some crusty bread to go with it.

Chanterelles, chicken breast, rice risotto.

(Never have had so often chanterelles than this year.)

came home to find a bowl containing some cooked green peas (originally frozen not canned) and some baked squash

heated with some butter and black pepper, simple but tasty

we made burger and the wife puts em together with onion and black olives and curry and "No salt" salt. I cant get em to stick together on the grill. Im doing something wrong.OR (horrors) is she mixing too much vegetative matter into the meat.?


Also, the son came up and brought a bushel of fresh peaches (freestone pink flesh)Mrs made a pie and it got a bit too runny. The flavor of a fresh peach pie is my idea of heaven. With Vanilla Ice Cream,but like only a half a scoop just for a hint of flavor not a major oinkfest. Gonna need some peach pie instructions that dont include precooking the peaches cause that punks the flavor.

Grabbed a roast chicken from the grocery store on the way home from t'ai chi class. Will try to find the energy to throw together a salad. It's been one of those days

Leg of lamb, roasted.
Basmati rice.

Thinking about a veggie, or maybe I'll have an apple instead.

breschetta on crackers and reisling again. It's soooo damn muggy around here....

farmerman, if you want a basic peach pie that's just about the flavour of the peaches, for the filling use a cup or less of light brown (or brown)sugar, the amount of sugar depending upon the sweetness of the peaches, 2 tablespoons of flour, more or less (depending on the juiciness of the peaches), a bit of salt and 8 sliced peaches to make a 9-inch pie.

and send some over here for sampling!

Need some ideas?

Don't confuse me, Walter! :wink:
So many possibilities for such a weary person!

Just home from work & I'm thinking: something simple with that piece of monkfish .... perhaps bake it in tin foil with lemon & a few other bits & pieces? .... some green beans, or maybe that broccoli in my crisper, steamed .... & maybe some potato (steamed also?) (a bit of starch! Yes! ) .....
Anyway, better than take away-food, yes?
