1. Oy Vey! ;-) too early to think about dinner

But . . . maybe a hot dog at the ball park?

Good warm or cold

3. Cauliflower Pie

I'm experimenting with Mollie Katzen's potato crust (this is her recipe for cauliflower pie) and adding parsnips. I'm also trying a thicker crust.

I'm doing little bits here and there to make this, as I've too much to do with putting in my garden to spend one long stretch in the kitchen during daylight hours.

Mesclun salad with citrus dressing for dessert.
=================================

Beep beep, change of plans.

Spouse coming home from trip early, guest coming over for dinner.

Beef brochettes, salad, potatoes on the grill.

No time to experiment today! I had to clean up the dining room.

4. Beef stew

got some kohlrabi at the Farmers Market today, so will try putting that in along with the standard carrots, celery, peas, potatoes and green beans.

I also got some nice local strawberries at the Farmers Market, so I thought I'd make a batch of biscuits to have with the stew, and also with strawberries and whipped cream for dessert.

16. Strawberry shortcake?

5. Holy Mary Mother of God, it's not even NOON yet...

If I knew what was for dinner, I would have a severe problem. So to answer your question: I have no.frigging. idea. thank. Jah.

6. Great day at the farmer's market, so.....

going to sautee some asparagus, green onions, garlic snape (did a little happy dance in my head when I saw the vendor with some), sweet peppers, and mushrooms in a meyer lemon infused olive oil I have and have that over some whole wheat pasta. And a salad with the spring greens and spinach I bought (for $4, I got enough of this for salads daily for the week) with a dressing of raspberry balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

9. This sounds delicious.

I am running low on fresh veggies, but have some friends coming in tomorrow who are bringing a resupply.

Enjoy!

11. Garlic snapes are AWESOME.

They are going to make the dish. The Meyer lemon olive oil is pretty solid, too.

12. Had to look them up as I am completely unfamiliar.

Found this fun article about things to do with them:

http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2010/06/the-crisper-whisperer-what-to-do-with-garlic-scapes-recipe.html

Will look for them next time I am "overtown" (which probably won't be until after Labor Day)

[Goblinmonger]

14. They have a pretty short season.

At least in WI. They will be around for about 4 weeks.

7. Going to a wine tasting, which will be lame because its

being put on by the Rotary Club and will consist of distributors and not actual vineyards.

But they might have some good food.

OTOH, I really dislike alcohol during the day and will probably be asleep by 4 PM.

[Goblinmonger]

8. Wow, you're a lightweight.

[cbayer]

10. I really am a lightweight, particularly during the day.

I like wine with dinner but rarely have to do anything of importance after that.

My first drinking experience told me all I needed to know about me and alcohol during the day, lol.

13. i'm supposed to go to my dad's

he's going to rotisserie a chicken and we will probably have the standard sides of steamed new potatoes and broccoli or asparagus. don't know how much i'll eat, tho. i fractured my elbow friday and the pain meds make me really nauseated.

[cbayer]

15. So sorry about your arm. I remember reading your post when you fell.

Hope you are a little euphoric as a compensation for your nausea!

[fizzgig]

17. i was stoned to the bone yesterday

trying to limit it today, but the pain is ramping up. my sister was nice enough to bring me some croissants and fruit, some of the few things that sound appetizing right now, i'm hoping i'll feel better once i have something other than crackers and popsicles in my belly.

18. Veggie pizza...

loaded. Screw the salt. It's Saturday!

[pinto]

19. Broiled cheeseburger, zucchini & red potatoes, cucumber / red onion salad.

Was going to grill outside but it's really gusty here, wind's running down the valleys. So a broiler meal...

[applegrove]

20. We had hors d'oevres for dinner: curried deviled eggs, crab/cheese puffs, and endive with

a dollop cranberry/onion creamed cheese. Raspberries for dessert.

21. My crockpot full of Chipotle Beef Mushroom Meat Sauce got cleaned out

--at the South King County Dems annual dinner. Salad, garlic bread and pasta supplied by others.
