Swedish meatballs with mashed potato, quick pickled cucumber, and lingonberry jam.

Also made mine not long ago. No lingonberry compote but something sour to cut through the rich meat balls. Rhubarb mush.
Weigh the meat to make uniform -size balls
My sauce is loser. I kept adding more cream because it was so thick in the beginning.

Those are some beautiful looking meatballs. Are the purple vegetables potatoes?
Yes, purple potatoes. I forgot the variety. It’s on the back of the package.
Your appetite for dumplings and the photos you post of them always cheer me, @Mr_Happy

Gnocchi with brown butter and sage. I recently got a gnocchi paddle and while it is a uni-tasker it does make more ridges than a fork and is a bit easier to use.

Very nice!
I use various (cheese) graters to make patterns.

Great, your gnocchi paddle! Somebody at WFD showed the sushi mat made with bamboo worked well too! Love your meal.

Lunch was a quick fix quesadilla with leftover chopped meat, pepper jack cheese, black beans, avocado, cilantro and sour cream. I used pan toasted spinach wraps instead of tortillas.

After so many days of high temps (mid 30C/93F) the heat has finally dropped below 30C/86F but it’s still very warm and unpleasantly humid.

Leftovers from the day before became soupy mung bean noodles for lunch.

I used these tomatoes in the meatball-tofu braise. The lovely colours are lost to the heat.

But something is wrong with its eye. Only saw it when I uploaded the photos from memory card to laptop.
I gasped with pain in my chest when I saw this. Poor creature. Probably a disease.
Forgot this one last week. Feather in bird bath.

@Mr_Happy - I love the taste of sage and brown butter sauce, but I still haven’t decided if I truly like the actual pieces or slivers of sage in my food yet. Am I the only one? I just don’t find chewing on the actual leaves or slivers to be appetizing. But the aroma of sage…lovely, fully on board. Just no fuzzy or blackened leaves please.
@Presunto - oh, the little fuzzy birdy!! 
so cute! i hope it’s little eye is ok.

I like eating the sage leaves when they are cooked and slightly crispy, but yeah when the leaves are still a bit raw not my favorite either.

Ah, grilling sausage in a rain storm! Gotta love it. The squirrels and I enjoyed a pepper and sausage sandwich along with Roseann Cash potato salad, leftover grilled asparagus and carrots, the last of the pear sauce and a glass of homemade, frozen raspberry-lemonade.
