What's for Dinner, Sat., Aug. 9, 2025

[NJCher]

Tuscan White Bean Soup, which I made with stock I had going from Deborah Madison's Greens Cook Book.
This stock has just about every summer vegetable in it you can imagine, from summer squash, chard, to eggplant. It asks for quite a few herbs, which I fortunately have: basil, marjoram, parsley. She got me on lovage, though. Don't have that this year.

It turned out to be quite delicious and I'll even have a little left over for tomorrow.

Salad is tossed greens, meaning butter lettuce, baby spinach, and ruffly green. Pear tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion with lemon vinaigrette.

Dessert: a few slices off a chocolate croissant and cold Earl Grey tea.

1. Your soup sounds delic!

We're having leftover chicken & pasta.

2. Leftover shrimp salad I made a few days ago

Its pretty nummy.

4. Tuna Salad

Romaine lettuce as a base. Thinly sliced red onion rings, cucumber slices, orange and green pepper slices, hard boiled egg slices and garlic croutons topped with pine nuts then dressed with a mustard/olive oil/salt & pepper/white wine concoction. The tuna has been marinating in a light soy sauce and will be pan seared then sliced ultra thinly before being laid artfully on the salad, (snicker!). Bread and butter on the side.

Ice cream and cookies for dessert.

5. BLT's and potato chips.

For a snack later, Christmas Melon.

Good Evening

Lucky you. I'd have to pay $6 for one. Santa Claus and Christmas melon are the same.


And look! They're almost all sold out!

10. Wow, that's pretty expensive.

We only have one plant, and only a few melons. Definitely saving the seeds for next year.

6. I love D Madison's soup cookbooks, especially the toppings for each recipe.

Our dinner—Hard shell tacos with all the fixings, corn on the cob, chile beans, ice cold watermelon.

7. I forgot to thaw the shrimp I had planned on

So Campbell vegetable soup, toast & butter.
cold decafe tea.

8. Another night of Thai takeout

Tonight I ordered a fried soft shell crab with mixed vegetables and Thai basil sauce. Brown rice accompanied the dish. Was great. Cheers! 🥂

11. going on vacation soon, so emptying the fridge

Half of the remaining tri-tip, cut into small slices and marinated in a mix of sweet soy sauce/rice vinegar/soy sauce, the sauteed with slivered zucchini, onions, tomatoes, and green beans, served with rice.

Now what to do with the rest for tomorrow...
