What's for Dinner, Sat., July 10, 2021

[NJCher]

Fried flounder sandwiches with tartar sauce. Brioche roll, of course. My fave.

Avocado, cucumber, tomato salad with Caesar dressing.

Corn on the grill.

Watermelon, sliced, for dessert.

1. Texas Chili

Served with Corn Bread made with fresh corn and jalapenos with a honey glazed top

Avocados

Asian coleslaw

[Yonnie3]

2. Tossed garden salad

with whatever dressing is in the 'fridge that strikes my fancy. I'll probably add some deli ham and provolone cheese to the salad, or perhaps shredded chicken. I doubt I'll have much else, it's been a long day.

I'll offer FLFC ham and chicken plus whatever else has been saved for him. I never know what he will eat.

3. I had freezer surprise!

There was a package of a frozen alfredo & noodles, I had frozen shredded chicken and because the mix was too pale in color, I added a handful of frozen spinach.

Dessert will be a bowl of frozen blueberries & mangoes.
Cold lime fizzy water.
Can you guess that Monday is wash out the freezer & fridge day?

[PJMcK]

15. Cleaning out the freezer can be frightening! (n/t)

[irisblue]

21. To be honest discovering the frozen package of alfredo was a surprise

It really was time to clean it out

4. Camping, so gazpacho

(Salad in a bowl!), leftover tabouli, humus, and veggie burgers. Husband has salt water taffy for dessert, but that is a no go for my dental work. Probably I will go with assorted chocolate we keep in a Hersheypark tin.

6. Sounds good!

I WISH there were a place near here for good gazpacho.

9. I have a very simple recipe

If you would like it, let me know. It really is salad in a bowl...perfect for camping and summer.

[PJMcK]

16. Where are you camping?

Your gazpacho sounds perfect but the chocolate is catnip for me!

[iamateacher]

19. Northern Lancaster County, Pa.

In the heart of Old Order Mennonite Country. Have the first of local melon for breakfast.

[PJMcK]

22. We're in Wayne County in NE PA

Hav fun and be safe!

5. Homemade Pizza

Dough is on its 2nd rise. Will have pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper.

My 2nd favorite pizza.

[PJMcK]

18. What's your 1st favorite pizza?

Here's a recipe for an artisan pizza dough from today's NY Times:

INGREDIENTS
153 grams 00 flour (1 cup plus 1 tablespoon)
153 grams all-purpose flour (1 cup plus 1 tablespoon and 2 teaspoons)
8 grams fine sea salt (1 teaspoon)
2 grams active dry yeast (3/4 teaspoon)
4 grams extra-virgin olive oil (1 teaspoon)

Nutritional Information
PREPARATION
In a large mixing bowl, combine flours and salt.

In a small mixing bowl, stir together 200 grams (a little less than 1 cup) lukewarm tap water, the yeast and the olive oil, then pour it into flour mixture.

Knead with your hands until well combined, approximately 3 minutes, then let the mixture rest for 15 minutes.

Knead rested dough for 3 minutes. Cut into 2 equal pieces and shape each into a ball.

Place on a heavily floured surface, cover with dampened cloth, and let rest and rise for 3 to 4 hours at room temperature or for 8 to 24 hours in the refrigerator. (If you refrigerate the dough, remove it 30 to 45 minutes before you begin to shape it for pizza.)

To make pizza, place each dough ball on a heavily floured surface and use your fingers to stretch it, then your hands to shape it into rounds or squares. Top and bake.

20. Dough should be easy.

Flour, water, and yeast, and a whole lot of kneading. The longer you knead the better and at least a 2nd rise. That's the trick. Kneading and a 2nd rise. Simple simple.... knead for about 20 minutes, and let it rise twice.

I'm a beer brewer so.... Water, yeast, and grain...

My first favorite is a place in Pensacola, FL called Tuscan Oven. They have a wood burning oven so theirs is much better than mine.

[Mr.Bill]

8. Package of Hormel Riblets

seared in cast iron frying pan then into the crock pot with Teriayaki sauce. With home made cole slaw and potato salad left over from yesterday. Iced tea to drink, frocen strawberry Italian ice for desert.

[Luciferous]

10. Spinach and ricotta manicotti, some Italian bread I baked earlier.

[MontanaMama]

11. It's 97 degrees and smoky here in western MT. Hot.

So, we will have big salads made from the farmer’s market bounty from this morning that include spicy greens, cucumber, peppers, salad turnips, garlic scapes and tomatoes…I’m going to top it with some white salmon that my boys brought back from Alaska last week. I’ve never had white salmon and they are both raving about it. I’ll round it all off with some fresh baked samoon that my Iraqi neighbors gave me. Their bread…OMG. It’s just the best.

[NJCher]

12. ah, it's an Iraqi flatbread

[PJMcK]

14. Your salad sounds awesome!

Perfect for such temperatures.

Stay safe and cool, MM!

[PJMcK]

13. BBQ ribs

It's good to be home in the Catskills and it was a perfect day for grilling.

A nice rack of pork ribs slathered with honey bbq sauce. Grilled till they're falling off the bone.

Two-tone corn on the cob, buttered and salted and peppered then wrapped in aluminum for and put on the grill. Turn it every 5 minutes.

Romaine lettuce for the Landlady(!)'s garden which survived our absence highlighted with chopped vidalia onion, chopped fresh parsley with a Caesar dressing.

Sliced oranges for dessert.

I'm looking forward to sleeping in a real bed tonight!

[NJCher]

17. congratulations on the survival of your lettuce/that was lucky!

I'm looking forward to sleeping in a real bed tonight!

And no one will rock you to sleep.

Your dinner sounds delicious and we're happy you are back!

[MissMillie]

23. Pot roast

Al and I had dinner with my sister and my dad. She made a really good pot roast (with mushrooms), mashed potatoes, green beans.

I decided not to wait until my birthday to make the creamsicle pie, so we had that for dessert. (Al was supposed to email me the picture he took of it, but it's not in my email this morning. I'll post when I get it.)
