What's For Dinner - Part 2

[RachelB]

Corn pizza.

[RachelB]

Lemon ricotta ravioli with a salad of nectarines, cress, and toasted quinoa.

[Geechee Girl]

Whine and wine and tequila shots. I'm gonna count the lime as food.

[RachelB]

Geechee Girl, it's got vitamin C in it. You may get a hangover, but you won't get scurvy.

*sends good thoughts your way*

Having C, a new friend, over for dinner tonight. We'll make Burmese food-- ginger salad, tomato-cilantro omelets, rice. C is bringing dessert, though when she heard that we are in walking distance of a good sorbet place, she said she might accidentally-on-purpose forget dessert.

Tonight I get a break because we are eating out at a fundraiser for a small community theater. It is being catered by some really nice restaurants. They are charging $40.00 for the buffet and a show so it is a good deal and a good cause.

Has anybody ever been to a food truck wedding? We are in the midst of helping our niece with her wedding and she has decided on an outdoor wedding at a farm and food trucks to do the catering. So far she has chosen a food truck that makes high-end pizza. When we went for the tasting Mr. Becket complained, in a joking manner, that leaves had fallen on the pizza. He is a purist when it comes to pizza and basil leaves on pizza didn't do it for him. Still, we are going with the nigh-end pizza and he will have to pick off the "leaves". Anyway, anybody who has been to a food truck wedding, how did it go?

[RachelB]

Tomato soup with sesame, garlic, ginger, and soy, thickened with almonds and rice.

[DrPusey]

There was a potluck at work. I had some pieces of good cheddar from a cheese and charcuterie plate, a slice of tomato pie, fruit salad, and homemade jalapeno poppers. Two kinds of cookies for dessert provided by me!

[RachelB]

Leftover tomato soup garnished with green onion. Rye bread with almond butter.

[RachelB]

Corn and roasted onion pizza.

[utter solitude]

Grilled chicken breast, white rice, and peas. ::proud::

[RachelB]

Salad: sweet corn, tomato, red onion, cucumber, feta, toasted pumpkin seeds.

I'm working on a panforte ice cream batter, but I'm not sure if it will be chilled enough to warrant putting it in the ice cream maker tonight.

[Arete]

Sautéed an onion with some garlic. Added sliced white mushrooms, some shredded carrot. Water, rice, can of chickpeas. Came out tasty.

[RachelB]

Leftover corn salad.

[Arete]

Scrambled eggs with tomato and basil salad.

[RachelB]

Egg sandwich on rye with sauteed onion and peppers. An apple.

[RachelB]

Market day supper: Butter beans with a lemon-garlic-dill dressing. Mixed greens. Tomato-onion-caper salad. Crusty bread.

[DrPusey]

Dinner tonight was Trader Joe's cheese blintzes with raspberries and a little sour cream drizzle.

[RachelB]

Dinner tonight was Trader Joe's cheese blintzes with raspberries and a little sour cream drizzle.

I bet that was amazing. Yum.

[Arete]

Tuna melt in a pita. Sliced cucumbers. A peach.

[RachelB]

Sandwich: baked tofu, tomato, dill pickle, mustard. Nectarine for dessert.

[DrPusey]

The blintzes were pretty good, Rachel - not too sweet, and the raspberries were from my own back yard.

Tonight I had meatless tacos, made with Tofurkey chorizo, romaine lettuce, hot sauce, and a little cheddar. Oh, and a banana.

[RachelB]

Leftover butter beans with some tomato mixed in, atop the last of the salad greens. (Clearly, I underestimated how much salad greenery I will eat in a week when I am cooking only for myself. Oops.)

The plums are so good this week. Tart, juicy, refreshing. I wanted to make something with them, but I am enjoying their unadorned selves too much to fuss with them.

[RachelB]

Oh, my goodness, still more butter beans. This time with chopped bell pepper, atop penne, with a tomato/onion/olive salad alongside. Nectarine for dessert.

After four meals largely centered on one thing, even interspersed with other things, my mouth is getting bored. But I can see the light at the end of the bean tunnel, and tomorrow I'll have something else.

[DrPusey]

Butter beans are one thing that I just can't like.

Tonight's supper was local rosemary & thyme pappardelle from the farmers' market with grated fresh Parmesan and olive oil. A local peach from the market - I think this was the farm's last batch for the summer. Hard to believe it will be apple time soon!

[RachelB]

^ I do like them-- just not four meals' worth.

Tonight, I'm thinking Thai melon soup, topped with green onion and crushed peanuts, thickened a bit with rice.
