What's for Dinner, Fri., Sept. 23, 2022

The other serving of my swordfish steak, again with basil garlic pesto. Tonight, though, I'm putting it in the oven because it's too windy to grill outside.

Love swordfish!!

Eggplant slices, breaded.

Cucumber/avocado/tomato salad.

Dessert: Banana pudding with Sweet 'n Spicy Good Earth tea.

...if we eat any dinner at all. Maybe a bowl of Xi'an noodles or something equally easy. We tend to eat one meal a day.

3. Chowder

The Lusty Lobster seafood market in Atlantic Highlands, NJ is amazing and we scored some oysters, shrimp, clams and a lobster.

The chowder is based on a lobster broth we had and it’ll have some clams and shrimp as well as onions, carrots, celery and potatoes plus milk and a few herbs. We’ve got a chiabata roll with butter and a spinach salad as sides. Apples and brandy for desert while we play Scrabble.

Tomorrow we sail south in the Atlantic to Manasquan, NJ. We’re ready!

The Jersey coast and then further south is all new to me as a sailor. Like everywhere, it’s complicated!

Won't have to cook again for a few more days, at least.

Oops! forgot to make cornbread. Oh well, tomorrow then.

with some chicken I cooked last night, a small tomato from my garden, mixed greens, cucumber, onion, a piece of leftover bacon, cheddar, ranch and a 1/2 avocado. I had the heel off the bread I baked earlier.

Not sure if I'll have dessert or what I'll have

The sandwich was the Heart Attack On A Plate that we have about once a month. Grilled cheese with the addition of crisp bacon and tomato slices. My husband's favorite.

The soup was cobbled together from leftovers. Ethiopian-style yellow split peas and chicken broth. Both homemade and home-canned, used separately earlier in the week. Blended together smooth and heated, it was really very good. I may do it again sometime, not from leftovers.
