What's for Dinner, Tues., Aug. 28, 2018 [View all]

The RG and I went shopping in the Portuguese supermarket, as we had to be in that town anyway for a package pickup. When we arrived at home, the RG quickly fixed our dinner for tonight. I even have pics.

First, there will be watermelon feta cheese salad. I am responsible for that, so I'll be making it shortly. It also has chopped up peppermint and a mixture of fresh lime juice and olive oil for the dressing.

Next up is the main entree, which is chicken thighs (my suggestion) which were browned in a pan first, then put in the oven. Topped with chopped leeks and garlic.



We found these fresh Italian long beans. Can't think of their name, but they're hard to find and thus we don't have them very often. He mixed them with olive oil and garlic, baked them, and also made a sauce to go over. The sauce is blended cream and mortadella plus something else I can't remember.

Looks like figs for dessert:



They will probably be served with cheese.

I'm drinking tart cherry kombucha tonight. Chardonnay for everyone else.
