BF made me a salad with smoked salmon and crisped up its skin for me. there’s also a soft boiled egg under there that he hid because he broke the yolk.
and some kind of pork stir-fry for himself.

I like in general the “5 Minutes a Day” no knead high hydration breads and pizza (wheat/gluten based). I haven’t tried anything gluten-free from them but could imagine that they are quite good

Best laid plans n all. The traditional German place where we’d planned on enjoying the evening sun on the terrace was completely booked all evening, so we pivoted to beers at Prater again. Thank goodness for having one of our favorite beer gardens in town so close 
But peeps do not subsist on beer alone - yes, not even in Germany, and my buddy visiting wanted to return to the Georgian restaurant we took her to last summer. Did not take much convincing on our end, so Tsomi it was.
We split their Khikali appetizer plate with the usual suspects, and a khachapuri with lamb & cilantro. My PIC would’ve preferred the open-faced khachapuri with an estimated pound of cheese, and I will say that the covered lamb version was a bit of a disappointment 
Forgive the terrible pics, lighting was shit & these were quick snapshots before my dining companions obliterated the food

This looks SERIOUSLY good!
Sunshine had picked up two bunches of radishes to snack on and put in salads. I couldn’t bring myself to throw away the tops. I did some quick research and found they are edible, you just need to lightly saute them. So I made a potato and radish top soup, it was actually pretty good. Neighbor #2 felt she was ready for some solid food, so I made some plain white rice to go with the soup.
As a side note, I’m really liking my Kitchen Aid Immersion Blender. It makes quick work of blending these soups and cleanup is a breeze.

They are also nice to make pesto - especially in a basil-radish top mix

That is good to know… thanks.
Sounds like something to try (at some point).
I’ve made things with carrot tops and radish tops, but I didn’t enjoy them too much.
I think I made a Japanese radish top quick pickle once, which was better for me than cooked radish tops.
This kind of idea

I get radishes in my CSA every year including the tops and, like @honkman, I’ve used them for pesto. I use just the radish leaves and they have a peppery taste similar to arugula IMHO but using them in a basil radish top mix sounds good.
I have also used carrot tops but also for making pesto sauce with some success. Some people use carrot tops in smoothies so I appealed for suggestions on the vegan subreddit. Interestingly someone also suggested using the carrot tops for pesto using a carrot top basil mixture. Other suggestions include adding them to salads so I suppose you could you radish tops in salads too.

Homemade chicken noodle soup tonight. Pretty quick with the homemade broth already made. Enjoyed with some oyster crackers.

Pork chop with acorn squash and French cut green beans. The squash was from last year’s CSA. I will miss the leftovers when they’re gone but at least I will have more acorn squashes to look forward to in the fall. The green beans were out of a can and I remember now why I’m not too fond of canned veggies so much…

OPA!! Pork souvlaki kabobs on the bbq and the first patio brewski!!
Today was a good day 
Souvlaki served with Greek-ish salad and homemade tzatziki.
After dinner I discovered that the hoses connecting the burner to the propane are broken 
Easy fix(new replacement burner), but the Q will be out of service for a few days.
