What's for Dinner, Sun., July 31, 2022

Barbecue chicken.

Cauliflower "onion rings" made in the air fryer.

Tossed green salad with garden watercress, red leaf, romaine, and sesame ginger vinaigrette. Cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and fresh celery which I just cut at the garden.

Topped with toasted sesame seeds.

For dessert, a chocolate which has hazelnut in the middle (from the RG's recent gift). Also a few strawberry mochis.

Iceberg, tomato, radish, cucumber, and broccoli, plus strips of deli ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese. Dressing was an off the shelf light ranch.

I had a boiled egg to add but forgot it.

I got some local peaches so I'll try one after.

Zucchini, peas, carrots, onions, red sweet pepper strips, and green beans over leftover taco rice.

My sis gave me some baklava so that will be dessert.

Baked shrimp scampi dusted with Panko bread crumbs. Side plate of spaghetti with a light tomato, basil and olive oil sauce. Salad made of red leaf lettuce, cherry tomatoes and cucumbers. The vegetables are from the Landlady(!)’s garden. Chardonnay to drink. Klondike bars for dessert.

For the sauce I used canned crushed tomatoes, cubed summer squash, crumbled tempeh, sweet onions, green bell pepper, and fresh homegrown rosemary and oregano. Topped with grated parmesan.

Also a salad with romaine and red leaf lettuces, chopped kale, and homemade dressing (evoo, red wine vinegar, balsamic glaze and minced fresh garlic).

Out of corn, so he asked for french fries. I don't know when or what I'll feel like eating.

accompanied by my favorite politically incorrectly named dish, "squaw corn", rechristened Indian corn or Southwest corn when I can remember--fresh corn cut from the cob, fried in bacon fat with peppers (green and jalapeño), red onion, garlic, and of course the crumbled bacon added.

Vinho verde to drink

14. Spicy Thai basil chicken

My husband and son found some real Thai basil at the local Asian supermarket. It does have a stronger flavor than regular basil. Served over rice (brown for me, white for the guys) and a side dish of green beans, dressed with vinaigrette left over from the pasta/vegetable salad I made for my friends.

But it must not like the pot or maybe AK weather.
It lives but isn’t growing. WTH? Lol
