What's for Dinner, Wed., May 12, 2021

Starting off with a plate of cold shrimp & fish, sauces, sliced Persian cucumbers with red onion, and crackers with cilantro pesto.

Next up is a bowl of arugula-parmiggiano-reggiano ravioli. I cut baby arugula and dill to cover the bottom of the plate and drizzled olive on it; over that I put the ravioli and sprinkled more baby arugula and dill.

Dessert: strawberry shortcake. Whipped cream, yum. My fave and it's a very light dessert.

Cherry kombucha to drink.

cornbread (from scratch, with undegerminated corn meal, buttermilk for the liquid, and no sugar) and a Czech-style pilsner brewed in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Steamed broccoli

FLFC has been alternating snacking and sleeping all day. He didn't help me with dinner but slept instead. He's had ribs, steak-umm, chicken dog, apple, and at least one of every kind of treat in the house so he is not lacking in calories today.
