It’s been on the swampy side here in Central Penna since we got back from Berlin, basically, allowing for only one cookout / backyard Q so far, with people immediately retreating inside for central air. Ugh.
Still only cooking for two adultish folks.
Today’s chicken souvlaki & horiatiki had to be nixed due to — you guessed it, MOAR thunderstorms, but also bc we have TPSTOS(liders) left from Monday’s cookout. My PIC’s gonna make meatballs with some of them, I decided to ‘make’ a cheater meat sawce with the rest of the beef & Carbone’s marinara (never tried it) pimped out with the usual suspects (onion, garlic, oregano, fennel seed, cinnamon). A simple salad with Aldi gem lettuce that’s been withering away with a light vinaigrette.
SAT: our HK buddy invited us & a few other friends over to his abode for a feast of roast duck and crispy pork belly
SUN: usually means Thai, but I might give this recipe from WoL a shot bc I bought more mung bean sprouts & I love a good stir-fry.
MON: mayhaps the postponed Thai with another rendition of this fabulous shrimp salad.
TUE: first ladies night since Berlin at a local place for buck-a-shuck oysters
WED: possibly grabbing a bite down (unless my PIC wants to cook) bc I have another sweltering outdoor gig till 7:30pm, and I ain’t cooking after that. Nope.
THUR: TBD
FRI: TBD
