What's for Dinner, Mon., May 12

[NJCher]

The RG is in LA, so I'm on my own tonight. Thinking, thinking, thinking...

1. Think I'm going to do a beef stir fry. Then cold plates the rest of the week - high 90's predicted.

Plus I need to get all my snow peas picked before they sizzle. My side of town will likely hit 100.

5. Change up. Spring onion rice noodle soup.

I'm not frying anything for a week. This I can put on the stove, bring to a boil and simmer.

Chicken stock
Green onions
Snow peas
Zucchini
Broccoli
Carrot
A bit of green chilies
Rice noodles

Five spice

2. Hit the beach yesterday to harvest shellfish so...

Steamed manila and butter clams & mussels, and fried oysters tonight.

9. Now that is cool.

I remember spending some time in Maine. We'd pick mussels in the morning and blueberries in the afternoon.

What a feast!

Enjoy.

3. shredded bbq chicken

taters and green beans, although i'm not sure what exactly i'm doing with them. i have some leftover hot dog buns, so i'll probably use those as a delivery system for the chicken.

4. Cornish hen with a peach glaze

I've got a can of peach halves I want to use, so I'm going to come up with a glaze for the hen. Since I don't have preserves, I'll just mash'em up with some ginger (maybe garlic too), and reduce it on the stove top to make a glaze.

As for sides, who knows. They'll be a last minute thing.

6. Pork chop, baked potato and sliced tomato.

7. Chicken Chow Mein

8. I dunno. I had planned to cook some ribs and chicken in my neighbor's

solar oven in order to welcome my son to Mexico today.

But he messed up and thought his flight was tomorrow and completely missed it.

He's going to make it tomorrow, so I've put that off a day.

So…… no plans at this time. Maybe just a PB & J wrap.

I dunno.

10. Better fix some great Mexican tomorrow

If he was coming to CO he'd have to have chicken soup with me. 21 deg. tonite, 2-3 ft of snow in the mountains. Hope he has fun and catches some delish fish.

11. Too hot to cook, so I am looking forward to trying out this solar oven.

I'd take 21 degrees and 2-3 feet of snow, but just for one day.

12. I baked a chicken this afternoon,

so dinner was chicken, mashed potatoes (real potatoes -- I think the boxed ones are the devil's spawn), gravy, and peas.

There will be leftovers of the same and also chicken quesadillas later on this week. It's not that big a chicken, but I do live alone, so I'll probably freeze up some of it.
