What's for Dinner, Tues., June 21, 2022

[NJCher]

Creamy Turkey Wild Rice Soup. Has the usual onion, carrot, celery but also sage and thyme along with the wild rice and garlic. It calls for 3 c whole milk but instead I'm also going to use mascarpone and heavy cream.

Chopped arugula, romaine, and black-seeded Simpson lettuce salad. Ginger kombucha.

My friend and fellow chocoholic brought me some Milk Chocolate Confetti Cookies, so I'll have cookies and decaf coffee for dessert.

1. It's just one experiment after another

Diced cabbage, carrots, zucchin, pasta with De Rica Datterini Baby Roma sauce.

I'm glad I'm not serving it to anyone.

2. My mom calls those "desperation dinners."

Leftovers and decafe tea.

3. lol, it's low in fat which seems to be my whole idea lately

Remember all those winter donuts? Been clean for 2.5 months, but still get the munchies, and ice cream in small amounts is the substitute.

4. Hungarian Goulash (a true Hungarian version) nt

5. Burgers

Grilled bacon cheddar cheeseburgers with lettuce from the garden, large slices of onions and tomatoes on toasted Kaiser rolls. Ketchup and spicy brown mustard as condiments. Boston baked beans on the side. Claussen pickles and pimento-stuffed olives as garnish.

Chocolate ice cream.

7. Country style spare ribs

I simmered them in soy sauce, molasses, garlic, liquid smoke, salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne for about 1 1/2 hrs. Then under the broiler. I reduced the leftover liquid to a thin sauce and poured it over the ribs after I flipped them. Pure joy

11. That sounds really good, Martha.

I have some country style ribs in the freezer that will be coming into rotation soon. Was going to put them in the slow cooker for BBQ pulled pork, but this sounds better.

15. Slow moist cooking

makes tender moist ribs. I like giving them a high heat broil to crisp the fat and set the sauce. Let me know when you get to feast

12. Sounds good. n/t

8. Chicken burrito and toss salad.

Same as yesterday.

Nice for summer

9. spaghetti

with homemade meat sauce (made w/ ground sausage)


I ate w/ Dad tonight. It's a good thing I did. I was going to make BLTs for Al and I, but Al isn't feeling well (sick tummy) and I get the feeling he isn't going to want a BLT.


Dad's got ice cream for dessert, as do I.

10. Shrimp Scampi

with angel hair pasta and asparagus.

(Originally posted this last night, but deleted it because, in the end, husband decided he wasn't very hungry and just heated up the last of the mushroom pasta leftovers. Was a relief for me coz I did not feel like cooking.)

13. Roasted vegetables

Eggplant, garlic, zucchini, yellow squash, mushrooms, onions. A melange of veggies.

[Retrograde]

14. It's over 100 today

so we're grilling some marinated lamb skewers picked up on the way home, along with grilled zucchini, eggplant, and mushrooms, with a tomato and yogurt salad.

17. Fennel and mushroom soup

my son, our weeknight chef, is becoming a bit of a foodie ... this took some time in the kitchen for him but was very good. We had some barley sourdough bread with the soup.
