What's for Dinner, Fri., Sept. 29, 2017
Crudite. Lightly steamed broccoli and cauliflower, red pepper slices, and some carrots. The dip has garlic chives in it, and is a mixture of sheep's milk yogurt and olive oil mayonnaise.
Now, if I have my way, we will have shrimp/gemelli pasta, left over from the other night. However, the RG is hostile to leftovers, so I may get the latest product of his imagination. He's been driving, so I am thinking there will be quite a few ideas ready to spring to fruition.
Oh and speaking of fruit, sliced apples for dessert. I picked up quite a variety at the farmer's market yesterday: empire, honeycrisp, gala, and green apples. Maybe a baguette and melted chocolate to go with.

with BBQ sauce. Three-bean salad, and (leftover) garlic mashed potatoes.
ps: Was hankering for a snack last night, and was craving pizza. But, I had no mozzarella and didn't want to make a pizza sauce. So, I made the dough and made a pissaladiere-style flat bread. I had no anchovies on hand, so I used sardines. OMG, it came out awesome. I'll definitely make it again. Other items were caramelized onion, kalamata olives, fresh garlic, chili flakes, and a light dusting of parmigiano reggiano. Then drizzled olive oil about. The sardine crumbles after baking worked out surprisingly well.
How wonderful those blackeyed peas must have been. I love them but have never had them fresh. I have them on New Year's, but they can be wonderful in salads at all times of the year. I don't even think I have seen them fresh in stores, either, but then I'm in the north and the RG says they are more popular in the south.
What strain did you grow this year? I may put that on my garden list for next year.
The menu sounds delicious: definitely something a gardener and lover of fresh vegetables would enjoy.

then I recognized it from earlier this spring. They were the only ones to carry a particular type of zucchini that is sort of compact. Can't think of the name of it at the moment.
Their prices seemed fair, too.
Looked at both varieties and will probably try both. Who can resist Hogs Brains, after all. Did a Google image search, too, and see they can be attractive plants.
I think Japple grows them, also. Thanks so much for the info, Bayard.

Glad you are better. I am sorry to hear that the chemo is taking its time going away.
Yep, chocolate enjoyment is right up there in the top 10 items of the good life!
BTW, that sticky sesame wings recipe is really popular. One of Smitten's top recipes, I believe.
