1. Final fridge clean out before trip to town for supplies.

Have had a great time with parental units and we have been grazing a log. Tonight, we can finish off the very last of the leftovers and anything else I can find, clean the fridge and get ready for all the beautiful fresh food I will get tomorrow.

[fizzgig]

8. yay!

indeed

[cbayer]

11. Yay is right! I have put together my menus and made my list.

Psyched!

13. I'm happy to hear that you will be getting some reinforcements...food, that is.

[Lucinda]

22. Glad your visit has been fun!

Happy shopping!

[livetohike]

2. Rainy day.....dream away.....we are having corn chowder

and a celery/apple/blue cheese salad with a nice loaf of crusty Italian bread that has "everything" seeds on it

[cbayer]

5. That is one of my most favorite salads.

Putting the ingredients on my shopping list right now.

[livetohike]

24. I can eat blue cheese on anything! Cheese has always been my

dietary problem as far as gaining weight goes, especially when I was a new vegetarian 40 years ago....lots of cheese and beans.

[cbayer]

27. I can eat pretty much any cheese on anything.

I am incredibly fortunate to feel full very quickly, so, as much as I love it, I can eat a little and let it go.

Right now I am having a tuna melt with an amazing marigold infused cheddar from England.

:drool:

[livetohike]

28. Definitely :drool:

[Lucinda]

21. YUM.

Your menus always make me drool a little. lol

[livetohike]

with saffron rice and broccoli in cheese sauce.

On edit: My sister brought tomatoes from the garden so I am having one of those instead. The broccoli is frozen anyway and can wait.

[cbayer]

4. I made this the other night and it was delicious.

Served it on rice with plenty of sauce. It was just as good warmed over several days later.

Enjoy!

6. GMTA!!!

There will be lots of sauce and leftovers.

Have fun on your shopping excursion.

[Lucinda]

20. I have fresh garden tomato envy

and the rest sounds wonderful too!

7. Steak salad. Last of a BBQ rib eye, romaine, cukes, green onions, carrots, celery & sesame dressing.

All done really thin sliced or slivered over the lettuce. Sliced pears on the side.

[Lucinda]

19. I'm planning on the same basic thing.

But I like bleu cheese dressing with steak salad!
And I have watermelon instead of pears.

9. sunday supper

i work all day sundays, so we do it a night early.

we're having brisket with carrots, potatoes, beets and parsnips with a loaf of fresh bread. i'm thinking about picking up salad fixings, too.

[Lucinda]

17. I looove roasted veggies and fresh bread.

I think i'm having your salad for dinner....too lazy to cook tonight.

[fizzgig]

25. this is the first time in a week i haven't been too lazy to cook

poor husband has been living on delivery and cereal

[Lucinda]

30. Bill wouldn't mind that! And I wish I could eat more cereal...

I can't have that much milk too often, and so far the alternatives don't work well for me.
I've tried soy, nutrish, and almond milks so far with no luck.
I wonder how Dr Pepper would work with Rice Krispies?

[fizzgig]

32. have you tried lactaid?

my sister is sensitive to dairy and went through all the alternatives and that is what works for her.

dr pepper and rice krispies honestly does not sound that good

[Lucinda]

35. LOL...No I guess it doesnt'!

I have tried milk with acidophilus, but not Lactaid yet! I'll see if I can find it. Our local store has limited options, but Bill drives through two other towns to get home. Thanks for the suggestion!

10. Venison roast in the crockpot

as we speak. Also making roasted veggies, most of which I got at the Farmer's Market this morning.

I can hardly wait!

[Lucinda]

18. You guys are making me hungry for roasted veggies.

I was going to just have a bid salad...now I am rethinking it. lol

[Callalily]

29. Here's what my roasted veggies

looked like. Venison in the background. All were super yummy!

[Lucinda]

31. Veggie porn!

That looks wonderful. Great shot!

[Callalily]

33. Hee hee! ;-)

[Le Taz Hot]

34. "Veggie porn!"

It DOES look good, doesn't it? *drool*

[Lucinda]

36. Bom-chicka-bow-wow!

Yup.
But I am a roasted veggie ho, so I'm easy!

16. Sounds perfect!

Was sunny, cool and windy here today. Perfect weather.

[The empressof all]

14. Teryaki Salmon

Side salad and zucchini rice with sauteed leeks

[Lucinda]

15. I always plan to experiment when I buy salmon but never do

I'm stuck on lemon butter and dill....but I like the sound of the teriyaki too!

[grasswire]

26. leftover dreamfields rotini with fresh tomato-basil sauce

I like to "fry" leftover pasta in some olive oil and get the edges brown and savory. Also having a whole avocado for each person, just halved and drizzled with a tarragon vinaigrette. Sourdough toast for those who can take the carbs.

Sports night here. Our local soccer team is on at 5, and my beloved Ducks are on at 7:30. It has been a spectacular weather day here: 70 degrees and sunny. Just perfect, and will be like this all next week. We have had no measurable precipitation for about ten weeks and that is VERY unusual for the Pacific Northwest.
