Cooking & Baking
Related: About this forumwhat's for dinner - saturday, july 12th
pork butt is about to go on the smoker here. rubbed it down last night with brown sugar, garlic powder and salt, paprika, chili powder and mustard powder and am smoking with a mix of apple and mesquite. i'll put together some tater salad and bbq sauce later. i'm also toying with the idea of a loaf of no-knead bread to go with it.
i'm excited to see how it turns out.
happy weekend

(19,288 posts)And delicious! I'm throwing out a quarter of the penne and Alfredo. It maybe years before I do that again. Cooking for one is a chore.

(24,146 posts)something i can lack at times but i have nothing else to do today, so i might as well do this dinner right
cooking for one can be a chore, i know. i ate a lot of sandwiches and cereal when i lived alone.

(19,288 posts)At my leisure. I don't like being under pressure to produce dinner every night. My friend has a 35 y/o son who still asks her what's for dinner every night. At least I have the option of just opting out and snacking.

(106,886 posts)I'm making enough to have quick leftovers for the soccer final tomorrow. It'll only be 9 AM my time, but I'm fine with a mid-morning left over dinner dish.

(2,282 posts)Also first time trying locally-raised pork spare ribs. And broccoli and cukes from the back yard.
I love when it's Market Day. The rest of the week it's spaghetti, rice and leftovers.

(2,012 posts)Mixed baked potato, fresh corn off the cob, and fresh cooked spinach.
Sprinkled cheese on top. Not bad.
fizzgig
(24,146 posts)corn on the cob would have been perfect tonight.

Tonight, shrimp salad, corn on the cob, cucumber salad, watermelon. Marionberries with cream for later.
Tomorrow, farmers market! My favorite day of the week. I'll be buying berries galore, some fresh basil, and whatever else strikes my fancy. Maybe nectarines.
fizzgig
(24,146 posts)i haven't been for a bit.
bummer about the heat. we were in the 90s more often than not the last few weeks, but cool and rainy today.

(8,646 posts)boy is the romaine beautiful...so we're going to eat it before it gets eaten by other bugs (why oh why didn't I buy floating row covers).
Oh, and some leftovers from the restaurant we went to last night. Mostly pasta.

(3,744 posts)I've been under the weather. I fixed egg drop soup earlier. Made humus last night and tuna salad and will get a piece of toast and spread it with humus and tuna and munch down. My appetite started coming back last night.
